| Résumé anglais |
Integrated management of rivers and their margins is recommended by the 1992 French Water Law and is favoured by public opinion. Management options are no longer based only on hydraulic or ecological considerations, but also on concepts developed by the human sciences (economics, sociology, human geography). A good illustration is provided by global studies of conservation strategies for the eroded floodplains of high energy tributaries of the Rhône. Social surveys are considered as a tool to assist mediation between river users and managers. They allow identification of the different groups of actors, of their perception of rivers and of potential conflicts in the use of rivers. Surveys are also a usefull way of registering actor's opinions of future management strategies ; this may be illustrated by conservation strategies applied to several rivers in south-eastern France. Finally, social surveys can be considered a communication tool allowing managers to inform actors of their objectives. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
