Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: An ever increasing segment of the population in the current low density category contributes to the sprawling South African city as we know it today. To provide for the housing needs o f people, precious agricultural land is being used, and the historic character o f towns is being destroyed. Densification of the city structure has been put forward as a solution to this problem. In this way, different components of the city may be connected and existing infrastructure may be optimally utilised. The concept of densification is gaining popularity in all spheres o f planning. The implementation of densification requires suitable policy, as well as the strict application of the aforesaid. A densification policy must include consultation with all parties involved with a view to finding a balance between the need for land for development purposes, the conservation of agricultural land, the conservation of the historic character o f towns and cities, as well as being in the public interest. A theoretical investigation was done in which all aspects regarding densification, and its implementation in the South African context were studied. Attention was also given to policy formulation. This was followed by an empirical study, based on the Paarl municipal region as an example, in an attempt to reconcile theory and practice. It was found that although densification enjoys great support, the perception held by professional planners as to appropriate methods for the achievement o f higher densities did not correspond wholly with theoretical arguments in this regard. It was also found that it is important to view densification in relation to the environment in which it is applied, and to create an executable policy for a specifically designated area.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Snelgroeiende bevolkingsgetalle in ‘n lae-digtheidsmilieu dra by tot die uitgebreide Suid- Afrikaanse stad soos ons dit vandag ken. In die proses word kosbare landbougrond gebruik om in die behuisingsbehoefte van die mens te voorsien en die historiese karakter van dorpe word vernietig. As oplossing vir hierdie probleem word verdigting van die stad voorgestel, om sodoende verskillende komponente van die stad te verbind en reeds bestaande infrastruktuur tot die optimum te benut. Die konsep van verdigting geniet toenemende gewildheid in alle sfere van beplanning. Implementering van verdigting kan slegs deur die daarstelling van geskikte beleid en die toepassing daarvan geskied. By die formulering van ‘n verdigtingsbeleid moet alle rolspelers in die proses geraadpleeg word en ‘n middeweg tussen die behoefte aan grond vir ontwikkeling, die bewaring van kosbare landbougrond, die bewaring van die historiese karakter van ‘n stad en die publiek se belange gevind word. ‘n Deeglike teoretiese ondersoek is geloods, wat teoretiese aspekte omtrent verdigting en die implementering van verdigting binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks ondersoek het. Daar is ook aandag aan beleidsformulering gegee. Dit is opgevolg deur ‘n empiriese studie wat binne Paarl se munisipale gebied uitgevoer is en teoretiese inligting met die praktyk probeer versoen. In hierdie studie is bevind dat alhoewel verdigting van die stad groot ondersteuning geniet, die persepsie van professionele persone in die beplanningsprofessie oor metodes om hoër digthede te bereik, nie heeltemal met die voorgestelde metodes vervat in teoretiese bronne ooreenstem nie. Daar is ook bevind dat dit belangrik is om verdigting binne die konteks van die omgewing waarin dit toegepas word, te beskou en sodoende ‘n uitvoerbare beleid vir ‘n spesifieke omgewing op te stel.

Full textDaily mobility is at the heart of debate on urban sustainability. A mean to carry out our daily activities and a key to social interactions, economic aspects and especially household expenditures linked to mobility are a major current issue.This thesis proposes a discussion on the interactions between urban form and daily mobility through mobility expenditures. Two interrelated methods of analysis are used to investigate these interactions.The first one relies on a comprehensive understanding of the effects of the built environment on daily mobility budgets. Household surveys are especially suited to this analysis because they provide a wealth of information on individuals’ attributes, their mobility, equipment, opinions and housing characteristics. Combined with various local or national databases, it is possible to estimate a household budget for every surveyed household. The case study for this analysis is the Lyon urban area. It contains very different built environments, and hosts a diverse array of transport modes. Furthermore, numerous databases are available for our analysis.First, we build a typology of territories based on the main daily mobility determinants: density, diversity, design, accessibility to destinations, distance to transit and demography. Then, an analytical framework of relations between urban form and daily mobility is built to identify three indicators to apprehend them: motorization, modal choice and distance per mode. This typology of territories is tested on these three indicators and appears to be highly significant. An analysis of the mobility evolution between 1995 and 2015 also identify various new issues related to prices, behavioral and demographic evolutionsThis line of questioning is extended through the identification and quantification of the effects of built environment characteristics on household mobility budgets. Using a Structural Equation Modelling method, causal paths between local urban form and household expenditures are presented. This method is applied to different types of population and territories – workers and retired households of the Lyon agglomeration then on the same types in suburban areas – in order to understand householdmobility budgets.The second method consists of testing various morphological and functional organizations of the territory in order to measure their effects on daily mobility budgets. This work is conducted using a land use and interaction model (LUTI), SIMBAD, which allows us to conduct a systemic and multiscale analysis of urban form on daily mobility budgets. Different scenarios of urban form are thereafter simulated, contributing to the debate on the durability of monocentric, sprawled or polycentric citiesin a Transit Oriented Development urban form. Besides, lessons learned from data processing of Households Surveys encourage us to conduct a multiscale analysis. A discussion on the differentiation of impacts depending on the global form of the territory is conducted.This thesis work presents innovative methodological elements to analyze the interactions between urban form and mobility budgets, including the construction of structural equations models and the use of a LUTI model to simulate urban environments. It also offers novel results, which contribute to the current scientific literature

Full textAs emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) vêm gerando graves mudanças no clima mundial. Uma das soluções propostas para mitigar o problema é a substituição dos combustíveis fósseis por biocombustíveis. A eficácia dessa medida tem sido questionada, tendo em vista as possíveis consequências indiretas da produção agrícola. A Avaliação Consequencial do Ciclo de Vida é um método de avaliação ambiental de produtos que inclui efeitos indiretos. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho é aplicar o método para obtenção de um inventário do uso agrícola do solo necessário para incrementar a produção de óleo vegetal visando atender a mudança na demanda de biodiesel no Brasil prevista para o período 2010-2030. Das matérias-primas consideradas (soja, amendoim, algodão, dendê, girassol e canola), o estudo mostra que o óleo de dendê é a matéria-prima marginal e apenas 5% da área potencial para plantio de dendê seria utilizada para atender ao incremento na demanda de biodiesel. A área necessária diretamente pelo dendê seria de 2,1 milhões de hectares na região Norte do Brasil. A torta de amêndoa, co-produto dependente do processo multifuncional do dendê, pode substituir o farelo de soja usado como ração, evitando o plantio de 0,6 milhões de hectares de soja. Assim, o inventário final do uso do solo é um incremento 1,5 milhões de hectares para produção agrícola na região Norte do Brasil. Foram desenvolvidos cenários alternativos: produtividade do dendê constante, mudança no horizonte temporal (2010-2020) e mudança na taxa de crescimento do co-produto determinante. Não houve alteração no resultado do estudo para os cenários considerados.
Greenhouse gas emission has several negative consequences on worldwide climate. Biofuels have been considered one of the solutions to mitigate this problem by substitution of fossil fuel. However, indirect effects should be included in order to produce more reliable results in environmental assessment. In this context, Consequential Life Cycle Assessment is a method that can fill this gap. The objective of this work is to use the method to obtain the agricultural land use inventory to meet the biodiesel demand change in Brazil, considering the period 2010-2030. Only the main feedstock were included (soybean, peanut, cottonseed, palm, sunflower and canola). From these, the study found the palm oil as the marginal one. Around 5% of the potential area for palm would be used to meet the biodiesel demand change. The increased area would be 2,1 million hectares in North region of Brazil. The palm meal, which is a dependent co-product from multifunctional process, can substitute soybean meal as animal feed. The substitution avoids 0,6 million hectares of soybean in North region. Finally, the net land use inventory is 1,5 million hectares in North region of Brazil. Three alternative cenarios were developed: palm productivity unchanged, a different time horizon (2010-2020) and a different increasing rate for the determinant co-product. The same result was found for all cenarios.

Full textI. Actuellement, en Afrique sub-saharienne, les acteurs de la conservation considèrent que la
survie à long terme de la faune sauvage ne peut être assurée que par le maintien de son habitat
en dehors des aires de conservation intégrale. Dans cette optique, les projets de conservation
tentent de préserver des étendues de végétation naturelle au sein de « zones tampons » ou de
« corridors de migration » dans la périphérie des aires protégées. Cette thèse s’est intéressée aux possibilités de conserver de tels espaces en concertation avec les populations riveraines du parc national de Zakouma, une aire protégée du Sud-est du Tchad. Notre objectif a été de rechercher des solutions aux problèmes que rencontrent généralement les aménagistes dans cette action. Notre hypothèse est que l’aménagement des périphéries d’aires protégées doit s’appuyer sur une meilleure identification des déterminants locaux de l’exploitation des espaces de végétation naturelle, et que leur analyse doit s’appuyer sur une approche spatiale.
II. Plusieurs étapes de recherches ont permis d’alimenter notre réflexion :
Une première phase de terrain a été tout d’abord été menée à Am Choka, un village représentatif de la zone la plus densément peuplée de la périphérie est du PNZ. Les objectifs visés étaient i.) d’une part, de déterminer les activités humaines affectant le plus le paysage
végétal naturel de la périphérie du parc, et donc susceptibles d’annihiler son rôle de « zone
tampon », et ii) d’autre part, d’identifier les savoir-faire et les facteurs socioéconomiques et
politiques qui régissent l’exploitation des espaces de végétation naturelle. Outre l’observation participante au village, des cartographies fines du terroir et des zones d’exploitation, ainsi que des entretiens semi-structurés ont été réalisés sur le terrain.
La seconde phase de recherche a été consacrée à la réalisation d’un outil cartographique dans
le but (i) d’évaluer l’état de la zone périphérique en terme de répartition et d’occupation relative des diverses formations végétales naturelles par rapport à l’emprise agricole, et ii.) d’en déduire les zones de la périphérie les plus susceptibles de faire l’objet d’un processus de gestion des espaces de végétation naturelle. A cet effet, quatre images satellites récentes ont été acquises. Les opérations de terrain ont donné lieu à 234 relevés sur ligneux et 2440 relevés qualitatifs d’autres types d’occupation du sol. Ces relevés ont été utilisés pour l’interprétation des scènes satellites en unités cartographiques.
La troisième phase de recherche a porté sur une analyse du dispositif d’aménagement récemment proposé pour la zone périphérique du PNZ par le projet gestionnaire du parc. Notre objectif était de mettre en évidence, les modalités réelles de prise en compte de l’organisation locale de l’exploitation ou de la gestion des espaces de végétation naturelle, et de les confronter avec les connaissances acquises lors de la première phase de recherche.
III. La recherche aboutit aux résultats suivants :
Les populations rurales ont une bonne connaissance du milieu physique et utilisent une
typologie qui leur permet de localiser les différentes composantes de leur terroir et de leur
finage, et d’en évaluer le potentiel.
La défriche des espaces de végétation naturelle à des fins agricoles est régie par des instances
coutumières villageoises et cantonale qui exercent un fort pouvoir en matière de gestion du
foncier et de planifications agricoles.
La culture du sorgho repiqué (berbéré - Sorghum bicolor) constitue la principale source de
réduction des espaces de végétation naturelle. Elle modifie le paysage sur de grandes portions
de territoire car sa mise en place nécessite un essartage intégral des savanes à Acacia seyal.
L’accès et l’usage des espaces de végétation naturelle pour la collecte de produits forestiers
ligneux et non-ligneux sont libres et non liés à la propriété foncière. L’exploitation de ces
produits n’entraîne pas de coupe à blanc mais les contraintes d’exploitation conditionne l’étendue spatiale du finage autour d’un village donné. Certaines zones du finage sont cependant l’objet de bornages fonciers en vue de projets agricoles à plus ou moins long terme. Les travaux cartographiques ont abouti à l’appréciation de l’étendue et de répartition des formations végétales naturelles. Le sorgho de décrue occupe un peu moins de 5% de la totalité de la superficie de zone périphérique. Les zones de cultures sont concentrées pour l’essentiel à
l’est et au nord de l’aire protégée. Un dixième de la superficie d’origine des savanes à Acacia
seyal a déjà été exploité à des fins agricoles. Cette carte peut être exploitée pour localiser les
zones d’enjeux entre conservation et développement économique. Cet exercice permet de
reconsidérer la délimitation en zones de protection de la périphérie.
Dans sa formulation, le « plan de gestion » témoigne largement d’une volonté d’associer les
populations riveraines à l’aménagement de la périphérie du parc. Cette collaboration sera
certainement entravée par l’absence de compensation en contrepartie de la limitation du
développement agricole au profit de l’habitat de la faune sauvage. Par contre, elle pourrait
être favorisée si le zonage proposé correspondait aux limites des terroirs et des finages. Un
préliminaire à tout processus de gestion concertée des espaces de végétation naturelle est aussi l’identification des décideurs qui ont autorité sur ces espaces. L’étude débouche sur suggestions permettant aux aménagistes leurs permettant d’atteindre leurs objectifs de conservation de la faune et de son habitat en concertation avec les populations riveraines. Ces recommandations peuvent certainement être adaptées à d’autres contextes d’aménagement des périphéries d’aires protégées.
ABSTRACT
I. Nowadays, in Sub-Saharan Africa, conservation actors believe that the long-term survival
of wild animals can be ensured only through the maintenance of their habitat outside areas of
total conservation. Accordingly, conservation projects seek to preserve areas of natural
vegetation in “buffer zones” or “migration corridors” on the periphery of protected areas.
The present doctoral thesis studies the possibilities of conservating such areas in concertation
with the populations living around Zakouma National Park (ZNP), a protected area in southeast
Chad. Our aim has been to find solutions to the problems generally encountered by forest
managers working towards this goal. Our hypothesis is that the management of surroundings
of protected areas must be grounded on a better identification of the local factors determining
the exploitation of natural vegetation areas, and that any analysis must be based on a spatial
approach.
II. Several steps in the research provided grounds for reflection:
As a first phase, a survey was conducted in Am Choka, a village representative of the most
densely populated zone of the eastern periphery of ZNP. The objectives were (i) to determine
which human activities most affect the natural vegetal landscape of the periphery of the park
and hence are likely to annul its role of “buffer zone”, and (ii) to identify which know-how
and socio-economic or political factors govern the exploitation of natural vegetation areas. In
addition to participatory observation in the village, detailed maps were made of the ‘terroir’
and the ‘finage’ (the total area exploited by a village), and semi-structured interviews were
conducted on the spot.
The second phase of research was dedicated to the creation of a cartographic tool with the
intention of (i) assessing the state of the peripheral zone in terms of where and to what extent
the natural vegetal formations are situated in comparison with the land under cultivation, and
(ii) pinpointing the peripheral zones best suited to a process of management of natural
vegetation areas. To that end, four recent satellite pictures were acquired. Operations on the
ground yielded 234 plottings over wood stands and 2 440 qualitative plottings of other types
of land occupation. These plottings were used to convert the satellite images into cartographic
units.
The third phase of research was concerned with an analysis of the management mechanism
recently proposed for the peripheral zone of ZNP by the park management project. Our aim
was to bring to the fore the actual methods by which the local organisation of exploitation or
management of the natural vegetation areas is taken into account and to compare them with
the knowledge acquired under the first phase of research.
III. The research produced the following results:
The rural populations have a good knowledge of the physical environment and use a typology
which enables them to localise the different components of the terroir and of the finage, and
to assess their potential.
The clearing of areas of natural vegetation for agricultural purposes is governed by traditional
village or canton authorities, which exert a powerful influence over land management and
agricultural planning.
The cultivation of transplanted sorghum (berbéré - Sorghum bicolor) is the main source of
reduction of areas with natural vegetation. It modifies the landscape over large swathes of
territory inasmuch as this cultivation method leads to a total clearing of the Acacia seyal
savannas. Access to and use of areas of natural vegetation for collecting wood and non-wood forest
products are free and not linked to land ownership. Exploiting these products does not lead to clear-cutting of the forest, but the constraints of exploitation influence the spatial extent of the finage around a given village. Some zones of finage are nevertheless subjected to land
boundary markings when agricultural projects are planned in the shorter or longer term.
The cartographic findings led to an assessment of the area covered by, and the distribution of,
natural vegetal formations. Flood-irrigated sorghum occupies just under 5% of the total area
of the periphery. The cultivation zones are mostly concentrated east and north of the protected area. One tenth of the original area of Acacia seyal savannas has already been exploited for agriculture. The map can also be used to identify areas caught between conservation and
economic development. This exercise makes its possible to reconsider the delimitation of the
periphery into protection zones. In its formulation, the “management plan” largely reveals the will to involve local populations
in the management of the periphery of the park. This collaboration will certainly be hampered
by the absence of compensation to offset any limitation of agricultural development to the
benefit of the wild animal habitat. It could, however, be promoted if the proposed zoning were
to correspond to the limits of the terroirs and finages. A preliminary to any process of
concerted management of the areas of natural vegetation would also be to identify the
decision-makers who have authority over these expanses. The present study throws up suggestions as to how forest managers might attain their
objectives for the conservation of fauna and their habitat in concertation with the local
populations. These recommendations can certainly also be extrapolated to other contexts of
management of the peripheries of protected areas.
