Résumé anglais The Spread of Hunting and Changes in the Social Uses of Rural Space On the basis of a study of the statistics of officially registered hunters (which allows him to establish the evolution of the number of hunters from 1945 to 1980 and their distribution by département in 1954 and again in 1975) supplemented by other investigative data, the author suggests that the spread of hunting is not a direct function of the size of the rural population. Property structures, the structure of farming and resource development, access to hunting territory, the nature of the relationship between town and country, and, finally, the cultural orientation of societies marked by honor values : all these appear as determining factors explaining the practice of hunting. Recent changes (the various modes of de-ruralization and de-peasantification), the dissociation between farmers and hunters and the increasing autonomy of an economic circuit of game production : these tend to increase the contradictions between the different social uses of the territory, including hunting.
