A conceptual site model (CSM) is simply a description of the environmental conditions at a contaminated site and surrounding area, which provides all interested parties with a vision of the site. CSM mainly identifies the source-pathway&amp / #8208 / receptor linkage to guide for effective site characterization, risk assessment and remedial investigations. Development of CSM is complicated because it is &lsquo / case specific&rsquo / and there is no single route to follow during decision making concerning the contaminated site. Moreover, type and extent of information needed varies according to size and level of contamination and site heterogeneity. The objective of this study is to develop a decision support tool that guides the site assessors during identification of possible decision routes that can be encountered / the procedure to be followed / and the information and data to be collected at each stage. This tool also introduces interactions between CSM andsampling strategies designed for various purposes. Developed decision support tool adapts to each specific contaminated site. Furthermore, a detailed review of sampling strategies is presented as a guidance for site assessors. The decision support tool is equipped with standardized tools used for CSM development, i.e. information/data collection forms, illustrative tools and exposure pathway diagram. Information on site, geology, hydrogeology, contamination source, contaminants and receptors is collected via CSM form. Illustrative tools may vary from very simple site sketches to very complex 3D drawings depending on the needs of the specific contamination cases. Exposure pathway diagram (EPD) is used to identify all transport mechanisms and potential exposure pathways. EPD is embedded into a user&amp / #8208 / friendly decision assistance tool based on Microsoft Excel and Visual Basic for Applications. The applicability and utility of the decision support tool was tested using two case studies. Case study applications indicated that the developed methodology satisfies the objectives aimed in this study.

Les événements urbains festifs (EUF) s'imposent non seulement comme de nouvelles pratiques sociales, mais aussi en tant qu'action urbaine et objet d'analyse de la recherche urbaine. Ils agissent sur l'espace public suivant des logiques distinctes éphémères, cycliques, immatérielles des actions urbaines « traditionnelles » et des modalités actuelles de gestion de tels espaces. Aussi, cette recherche vise à appréhender si les logiques de gestion des EUF ouvrent de nouvelles perspectives pour la gestion des espaces publics. Pour répondre à ce questionnement, le cadre théorique de la « Gestion de site » a été mobilisé. Ce dernier décrit et permet d'appréhender les modalités de gestion de quatre sites urbains (gares multimodales, centres-villes, centres commerciaux, résidences privées avec services) complexes (du point de vue de la coexistence de fonctions, de services urbains, d'usages et d'intérêts sectoriels, spécifiques), permanents, de natures distinctes et proposant des ambiances particulières à leurs usagers.Il est apparu que ce cadre théorique permettait bien d'appréhender les modalités de gestion d'autres sites urbains aussi complexes que ceux analysés par la « Gestion de site », et pourtant de nature éphémères : les sites de déroulement des EUF. Ce cadre théorique a donc été confronté à deux EUF se déroulant sur des sites éphémères : « Bordeaux-fête-le-vin » et les « Rendez-vous de l'Erdre » à Nantes. Ce choix est motivé principalement par le fait que ces EUF sont mis en place précisément sur des sites composés par une série d'espaces publics dont la gestion quotidienne et événementielle est complexe : les « espaces publics fluviaux ». L'analyse de la gestion de ces deux EUF par le prisme de la « Gestion de site » met en évidence des enseignements sur la gestion de l'événementiel qui, d'une part, nourrissent la réflexion autour de la gestion des espaces publics complexes et, d'autre part, enrichissent la « Gestion de site » en apportant des éléments inédits à ce cadre théorique nouveau / Festive urban events (EUF) stand out not only as new social practices, but also as urban actions providing a basis for urban research. Compared to "traditional" urban actions and current methods of public space management, Festive urban events in public spaces follow different dynamics ; they are ephemeral, cyclic, and immaterial. This research examines the management implications of Festive urban events and attempts to determine if these events' dynamics can unlock new perspectives for public space management.To answer our research enquiries, a Management of site (GS) theoretical framework is used. This theoretical framework describes and addresses the common management methods of four urban sites : multimodal rail stations, downtown areas, shopping malls, and private residences with services. These four site types are complexes, incorporating the coexistence of multiple urban functions and services, varied practices and interacting sector-based interests. These site types are permanent and offer a unique ambiance to their users. It appeared early on that a Management of site framework also allows describing the management methods of another kind of urban site, ephemeral nature, which seems as complex as those previously analyzed by this theoretical framework: the ephemeral sites in which Festive urban events are held. The Management of site framework was therefore examined with two different Festive urban events taking place in an ephemeral site : Bordeaux-fête-le-vin in the city of Bordeaux and the Rendez-vous de l'Erdre in the city of Nantes. This choice was made largely because these Festive urban events are held in ephemeral sites comprised of a number of different yet interacting components that require complex management : riverbank public places. The analysis of management methods of both these Festive urban events through the prism of the Management of site framework provides substantial insight into special event management. This insight enhances our understanding of complex public space manag ement and enriches the Management of site framework by introducing new analysis criteria
