Landscape Democracy Rationale
- Why do you think this community context is relevant from a landscape democracy perspective? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape democracy challenges?
Why do you think this community context is relevant from a landscape democracy perspective? What is your hypothesis considering the landscape democracy challenges?
Many groups have opposite points of view on this territory because haven't same uses and practices. Theirs waiting are opposites. But in Aubrac area, the landscape are very special, and people love them. They are an economic, identity and cultural wealth. They attract new inhabitants.
Landscapes are a transdisciplinary subject. With them we can talk about a lot of points. But the local social context is difficult and the landscape is already creating conflicts.
The scale of this territory is too big. But the political institution is adapted at landscape democracy. There are functionaries and elected who have a common project and the landscape do link between. I think the challenge is to create a device for democracy on the right scale, but some subjects are too dangerous to create exchanges. Caution is advised.
Location and scope
The Natural Regional Park is a political space and geographic. It's an institution, with elected, with functionaries, and is aim the economic help, agriculture and touristic development, natural area and river management...
Phase A: Mapping your Community
Welcome to your community and its landscape
The natural regional park of Aubrac is in the south of France, between two regions, three departments. He's composed to sixty-four municipalities. There are two area. The municipalities in the park, and municipalities associated to politic institution. It’s almost same. The area had always division and have many influences. It’s a young park created there are two years. It's a mountain. The valleys around the mountain is his limits.
For explain spatial characteristics; the valleys and the highway have the most important populations. There are lots of urbanization, commercial or housing. The plateau is more desert. The villages are smalls, there are only farmers, and tourism activities. And small snow station. In Laguiole the main village in the plateau, there are more art and craft. The knife of Laguiole, it's famous. The identity of this area is the agriculture, the cow “Aubrac”, the food and restaurants. The differences are big between valleys and plateau. Inhabitants in valley thinks that the Park is only in the mountain. There are not similar perception and regard.
There are ten landscape type. But, six are the principals. On the left, there are the less famous: more wilderness, less beautiful for people, the valleys of west area are less knows.
In the center of map, it's a landscape of steppe as in Mongolia created by farmers and monks of monastery on St James way. It’s the plateau, meadows are large open area of grassland with rare flowers. There are lots of rock and stone in the land-grass. It’s a territory very difficult with lots of relief, a climate strong, with snow and wind the winter and hot the summer. There are lots of problems in the area, as addiction to tourism, no activities in winter, the dependence to agriculture in endangered by crisis or by global warming, the isolation of the inhabitants and their ages.

Groups of actors and stakeholders in your community
The population is ages and few. The young people go out of territory for students. Return only for holidays. In the past, people go work to Paris, now go to big cities. The agriculture its the main activity, but there are only a few of farmers. There are lots of power. Tourism is a strong but seasonal activity. Other activity as art and craft are less important, but take place in identity of territory. The new inhabitants help to not lower population, because no enough of birth.
The size of groups is unbalanced. Tourist people and secondary residents are the most important groups after local population, but they are on territory only in summer. The farmer groups, he is very important because with retirees and family, he is more powerful social group and very apparent. And the territory belongs to them. The more visible groups, are not the more important in number. Their aspiration landscapes are really interesting because they are very opposite. Economics point of view research productive landscape. Tourism professional, tourist people and outdoor recreation have common interest, the heritage, the wilderness and the traditional agriculture.
Groups more big :
- Local population
- Agricultural circles
- Craftmen, traders, entrepreneurs
- Local association of sport, heritage, leisure club...
- Hunters
- Secondary residents
- Tourism
Few important :
- Outdoor recreation (walker, cyclist, photograph, wild observer)
- Health professional
- Hosts and Restorers
- Elected local

Relationships between your actors and groups
(max 200 signs)
This rural area has different social groups that the rest of France. As mountain area, the population is old and live with farming. But, here, the tourism is very important and this context is not common. The conflicts are large. There are two big breaking.
1) Farmers and people who practice the wilderness. Farmers are opposed to tourists, hunter and people who have outdoor recreations because shared the same space.
2) Residents and local inhabitants. Local population are opposed to secondary residents and tourists because the activities are very seasonal, real estate is more expensive…
Groups have common interests too:
- Hosts and Restorers, agricultural circle, and Craftsmen and trader have same economic interest.
- People with outdoor recreations, hunter, and tourist love the same area.
- The population's access to service and medicine is also an interest shared by a large number, and more particularly by the frail peoples.
But the shared spaces create problems more strong that pacts. The problem of global warming is becoming more important. However, there are many social spaces and events and the link between people are strong. The new populations are more critical and create more tension.
