Résumé anglais Very often it appears obvious for different social actors and researchers that participative procedures are aimed at "relevant populations". However, defining a "relevant population" poses certain problems. Using the example of the debates and conflicts relating to the development of the Camargue, this article aims to analyse the process of designating a "relevant population". First, the term raises questions of scale. Then, whether K be at the level of a village or the planet, what is the status of the "relevant" individuals ? Are they residents, consumers or citizens ? Finally, it is suggested that definitions and delimitations of "relevant populations" should result more widely from territorial divisions contributing to a restructuring of sociopolitical links.
