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?
Many groups have opposite points of view on this territory because haven't same uses and practices of territory, and their waiting are opposite. 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. I think the challenge is to create a device for democracy on the right scale, and some subjects are too dangerous to create exchanges.
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
Agricultural production is the main economic source. Cows, meat, cheese, edible plants and cook culture, participate to local identity. Tourism is the second most important economic resource. The high plateau, stones, meadows and walls and volcanic plateau, this landscape is the archetype of Aubrac. Deeps or slims, the rivers valleys are between agricultural lowlands, vine farming, cities and suburbs, rock and wild, sometime with big hydroelectric dams.

Relationships between your actors and groups
(max 200 signs)
- Local population are opposed to secondary residents and tourists. Farmers are opposed to tourists and people who have outdoor recreations because shared the same space.
Groups have common interests too. Hosts and Restorers, agricultural circle, and Craftsmen and trader have same economic interest. People who have outdoor recreations, hunter, and tourist love the same area. But the shared spaces create problems more strong that pacts.
The territory's population is old. There are many groups and the most powerful are farmers. Second residents, tourists, are the second group. Their landscape aspirations are opposed. Heritage, wilderness, traditional agriculture for them and productive space for first.
