Some images and maps to illustrate the context of the area of Fontaine d’Ouche in Dijon, Burgundy, France (http://sig.ville.gouv.fr/zone/2621001)
the area is located at the west of downtown… nine thousand two hundred. Dijon = 217 095 = two hundred and twenty thousand people soietn 4% de la population
… , near an artificial lake and a leisure area
poor district buildings at low prices.
twenty% of the population is unemployed,
twenty% of the population has low income,
eighty% of the population has a low qualification
72% en location, 52% en HLM = seventy two% lease, fifty two% in social (low-income) housing
In the same area, there are a lot of green spaces… but local poor people don’t use it, or just a little
This is an area that has a high dynamic micro-local with more than 60 associations for nine thousand two hundred people
2 weeks, 15 Intervievers on site (bachelors students), 405 full filled enqueries
And we have now the first results…
A lot of old people, very low level of diploma

The first AFC include only the axes 3 and 4. We need to complet it by the others axes. Coming soon ;)
SO I don’t explain it!
27% accepted to be ask a second time.
TO CONCLUDE :
A local traditionnal media structure in the area
No transition ICT support available in the area
Aged stakeholders, particulary in associations
Several stakeholders (association under the 1901 law status, bloggers) with websites.
