  Artisanal transport in African and Haitian cities

  “Gari” Journal, volume 1, issue 2 — Resarches and debates on African cities

  Dans de nombreuses métropoles d’Afrique, les transports collectifs institutionnels normatifs font défaut. Lorsqu’ils existent, ces derniers ne parviennent pas à répondre aux besoins escomptés des populations urbaines et rurales pour leurs déplacements quotidiens. Ainsi, l’absence, l’insuffisance ou l’inefficacité des transports en commun adaptés à la demande des populations sont compensées par des solutions non institutionnelles : ce sont les transports dits « artisanaux » qui comblent ces déficits et constituent l’unique offre de transport en commun accessible.

  Labels in the field of cultural and natural heritage

  Created in the 60s, the label's use for cultural and natural heritage has increased dramatically for several years, specially in France. Inherited from the marketing and trade world, the use of labels for cultural and natural heritage illustrates the expansion of heritage's conception to new artefacts and new cultural properties, in an anthropological meaning. Some recent studies on the cultural and natural heritage labels  insist on the economic benefits for development of territories. But the legal and institutional dimensions of labels in heritage have been ignored. The goal  of the symposium is to define and precise the purposes and the caracteristics of labels in the field of heritage.

  Management of architectural and urban settings in an age of sustainable development: practices, changes and challenges

  Ramau conferences – 2014

  Following the study days dedicated to “architectural and town planning professions faced with the involvement of residents and users” in 2012 and “sustainable town planning and architecture know-how and models” in 2013, the aim of the Ramau 2014 conferences is to concentrate on the relations between sustainability and “management” in the field of urban development and architecture. The incorporation of sustainable development in architectural, urban and landscaping operations seems to have the effect of increasing the concern for management logic in the project process.

  Approaches to post-Soviet transformations

  Summer school in Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine)

  Two decades after the collapse of the USSR, evolutionary paths travelled by post-Soviet societies are spectacularly diverse - posing analytical challenges for social scientists. In the first post-Soviet years, these societies were expected to “Westernize” and so social transformations were supposedly transitional. Later, it became obvious that genuine evolution observed in the former USSR needed genuine analytical tools. Dramatic change exhibiting a strange (at times conflict-ridden) coexistence of transformation and continuity neither elicits comparison to “normal” social evolution, nor can it be explained as a chaotic or un-analysable specificity. The aim of the summer school is to discuss different approaches / concepts used to analyse post-Soviet transformations and to question their heuristic effectiveness. The Summer School is designed to be interdisciplinary and international.
