Comparisons and attempts at modelling will be welcome. The papers may be proposed by researchers, practitioners or associations and may be jointly authored. They must deal with one of the three topics described below, which are to be the subject of three successive seminars.

Socially Sustainable Suburbia

This issue aims to attract further attention to the challenging task of social sustainability in suburban areas. Rethinking suburbia entails both an analysis of possible improvement measures oriented towards the existing stock of buildings and the creation of new models of settlements in suburban locations. Such initiatives usually assume that, by means of a high quality urban design and planning, it is possible to assure the existence of both place-making and liveability in a specific context. However, it is the social response of residents that is the most significant proof of the success of a renewal initiative. This thematic issue calls for a critical reflection on both brand-new and pre-existing developments. Is it possible to promote liveability in a suburban environment?

Tourism in Indonesia

The beginning of the XXI century is characterized by the development of international tourism practices. This activity, that has deeply changed the relation to time and space in the western world since the XVIII century, is now conquering the expanding countries of Asia. This specific moment of adoption of an activity and its practices, give the opportunity to analyze the various aspects of its growth. Are we observing a phenomenon of transfers, mutations or creations? If the development of tourism inChina and India has been studied for several years, its development in Indonesia still requires an in-depth analysis. How is this new activity appropriated in the fourth most populous country in the world? What are the effects on the Indonesian society, whose distinctiveness comes from the diversity of its people, cultures, and religions, throughout its 17,000 islands, from Sumatra to Papua?

Metropolitan energy policies: the case of the Turkish cities

Call for paper for a Seminar at the French Institute of Anatolian Studies (IFEA), co-organized by Eric Verdeil (Jean Moulin University in Lyon - UMR Environment City Corporation) and Jean-François Pérouse (Galatasaray University and IFEA). The report Energy and Urban Innovation (2010) by the World Energy Council underlines the fundamental role of cities in the energy transition and the interlocking of several series of actions, related to technology, economy and policy. It appears that the political and social practices are a major issue and justify an increased contribution of social sciences to the analysis of the implementation of these new policies. The seminar intends to address these issues in the case of large Turkish cities.

Governing Rural–Urban Relationships and Periurban Areas in France and Australia

Different Land Use Cultures, Same Issues?

The governance of rural–urban relationships has become a very challenging issue in many countries around the world over the two last decades. Many competing interests are embedded in it: agriculture, metropolitan development, biodiversity conservation, water resources use, etc. Many conflicts take place in periurban areas, for instance. These conflicts are signs of a more general evolution of rural – urban relationships in a context of global change – eg. global warming, loss of biodiversity, the global food challenge, the petrol crisis. This seminar aims to compare how these challenges are tackled in France and in Australia. Considering the differences between the political and institutional contexts of various countries, it will be a great opportunity to think about the role of land use culture in different governance systems. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT.

Regional Water Management and Adaptive Management

How to deal with multi-scalar issues?

This seminar aims to discuss the interactions between regionalisation of water management and adaptive management.

The seminar will bring together international specialists to analyse how adaptive management can deal with institutional, technical and political multi-scalar issues in order to foster change of practises. This seminar is organised in partnership with AgroParisTech Clermont-Ferrand, INRA-SAD and UMR METAFORT.

New-Build Gentrifications: Forms, Places and Processes

Dans sa définition classique, la gentrification désigne la transformation physique et sociale d'anciens quartiers urbains. Récemment, ce concept a été élargi pour inclure des projets issus d'opérations de régénération de friches urbaines. Ce séminaire se focalise sur la question de la "new-build gentrification" et sur certaines tendances récentes de la dynamique urbaine telles que les politiques de densification et de régénération. Des contributions seraient particulièrement bienvenues sur le rôle des différents acteurs impliqués dans ces phénomènes (autorités locales et nationales, acteurs du marché immobilier, ménages qui s'installent dans ces nouveaux quartiers).
