| description |
Territorial transition in southern countries seems to have a distinctive aspect in comparison to northern countries, as it is governed by a dual challenge. On one hand, to regulate unrestrained urbanisation and, on the other hand, to maintain the principles of sustainability promoted on an international scale. In this article, we focus on the interaction between the two main pillars of sustainability, namely the social and the environment, and in particular on the degree of citizen involvement in processes regarding conservation of natural areas within their cities. Therefore, we question the modalities of territorial transition within theoretical and empirical frameworks for the case of the cities of Duitama in Colombia and Setif in Algeria. Two cities situated in southern countries, amid territorial transition, with rather similar geographical and natural characteristics, yet with very different social conditions. Through a comparative study it is possible to comprehend the diversity of social practices towards protecting the environment in these urban areas. The aim of this study is to understand how the inhabitants of these towns are currently involved in environmental protection, and their potential involvement in the ecological transformation that these two territories will undergo in the future. |

La transition territoriale dans les pays du Sud apparaît sous un aspect différent par rapport aux pays du Nord, car elle est soumise à un double défi : d'une part, réguler l'urbanisation effrénée et, d'autre part, respecter les principes de durabilité promus à l'échelle internationale. Dans cet article, nous nous concentrons sur l'interaction entre les deux principaux piliers de la durabilité, à savoir le social et l’environnemental, et en particulier sur le degré d'implication des citoyens dans le processus de maintien des zones naturelles au sein de leurs villes. Nous nous interrogeons donc sur les modalités de la transition territoriale dans des cadres théoriques et empiriques pour le cas des villes de Duitama en Colombie et de Sétif en Algérie. Deux villes des pays du Sud, en pleine transition territoriale, avec des caractéristiques géographiques et naturelles assez proches, mais avec un cadre social très différent. Ceci incite à une étude comparative pour tirer parti de ces divergences de pratiques sociales à l'égard de la protection de l'environnement naturel urbain. L’objectif de cette étude est de comprendre comment les habitants de ces villes sont impliqués aujourd'hui dans la protection de l'environnement, et leur éventuel engagement dans les transformations écologiques que connaîtront ces deux territoires dans les années à venir. La transición territorial en los países del Sur presentan configuraciones diferentes a la de los países del Norte, ya que está sometida a un doble reto: por un lado, regular la urbanización desenfrenada y, por otro, cumplir los principios de sostenibilidad promovidos a escala internacional. En este artículo, nos centramos en la interacción entre los dos grandes pilares de la sostenibilidad -el social y el medioambiental- y, en particular, en el grado de implicación de los ciudadanos en el proceso de gestión de los espacios naturales dentro de sus ciudades.Para ello, examinamos las modalidades de transición territorial dentro de marcos teóricos y empíricos para el caso de las ciudades de Duitama en Colombia y Setif en Argelia. Se trata de dos ciudades de países del Sur, en plena transición territorial, con características geográficas y naturales bastante similares, pero con marcos sociales muy diferentes. Esto hace necesario un estudio comparativo que aproveche estas diferencias en las prácticas sociales con respecto a la protección del medio natural urbano. El objetivo de este estudio es conocer la implicación actual de los habitantes de estas ciudades en la protección del medio ambiente y su posible compromiso con las transformaciones ecológicas que experimentarán estos dos territorios en los próximos años. |
