Politiques paysagères en action pour la protection et la valorisation du patrimoine naturel et culturel

Abstract

The analysis of the recent evolution of landscapes cannot be addressed without taking into consideration a variety of public policies instruments. The operational « landscape» dispositions are, quite often, connected to public action instruments largely relating to landscape planning, urban development and protection of nature. Having in mind the complexity of the object landscape, the regulation modes seem to be mainly inadequate. Traditionally, two conceptions of landscape are in competition : one focuses on a conservative conception of landscape, while the other one is much more dynamic, and aims at the valorisation of the landscape considered as a « resource». This opposition can be identified in Natural Regional Parks, as the two case studies analyzed here which represent two different categories of landscape : the urban and the rural. T–he analysis of the applied instruments and procedures and of their impacts reveals that the type of landscape conditions the type of regulation implemented by the public policies as much as the local context influences the selection and the implementation of the mentioned procedures.
