Historiquement, les animaux sauvages ont toujours représenté une ressource pour les hommes, assurant la sécurité alimentaire des sociétés locales et traditionnelles. L’exploitation touristique de la faune implique dès lors une évolution dans les modes de vie, la culture et les identités locales. L’objectif de cette recherche doctorale est d’analyser le récréotourisme faunique. Les activités récréotouristiques autour de la faune sauvage traduisent une requalification de la ressource faune, ce qui a des impacts à la fois sur les espaces humains et non humains, les jeux de construction territoriale et sur les rapports développés à la faune sauvage. Ce travail analyse les rapports que les sociétés entretiennent avec la faune sauvage à travers les activités récréotouristiques de chasse et de vision. Ces deux formes de tourisme sont généralement opposées car le tourisme de vision est présenté comme un usage non-consomptif de la ressource alors que le tourisme de chasse est reconnu comme un usage consomptif de la ressource. Dépassant certaines idées reçues sur les pratiques de la chasse et une approche manichéenne entre ces différentes activités, il convient d’interroger les distinctions et / ou le rapport dialogique entre ces pratiques. Afin de conduire cette recherche, le choix d’une analyse comparative a été retenu, laquelle se propose de mettre en perspective différentes études de cas en France et au Canada. Ce travail comparatif permet de mieux comprendre les enjeux touristiques et territoriaux associés à la gestion de la faune sauvage et de penser la transférabilité des processus observés entre différents terrains d’études. D’un point de vue méthodologique, ce travail doctoral nous a conduite à définir un cadre analytique organisé autour de quatre entrées croisant des (i) aspects conceptuels, (ii) l’analyse d’archives, (iii) des méthodes d’observation ainsi que (iv) des outils d’analyse des rapports homme / faune via l’analyse de discours des populations touristiques. La première partie de ce travail présente le contexte théorique de l’étude et la démarche systémique de cette recherche (chapitre 1, 2 et 3). En termes de résultat, ces présupposés méthodologiques et théoriques nous ont permis d’analyser comment les dynamiques du récréotourisme faunique agissent, réagissent et rétroagissent sur l’ensemble du système territorial. Ainsi, la deuxième partie interroge l’organisation socio-spatiale des activités récréotouristiques de chasse et de vision (chapitre 4 et 5). Ces différentes formes de tourisme sont analysées en prenant en compte l’implantation de ces activités au sein des territoires, les attentes touristiques de la part des visiteurs, et les effets des différentes pratiques sur les populations fauniques. La troisième et dernière partie s’intéresse à l’évolution des rapports hommes / faune sauvage dans le temps et l’espace au regard des activités récréotouristiques développées. Le chapitre 6 s’intéresse aux rapports dialectiques entre processus de patrimonialisation et les usages acceptés ou non de la ressource faunique, alors que le chapitre 7 propose une réflexion sur les rapports hommes / animaux à l’échelle de l’individu en interrogeant l’éthique de chacun dans ses usages, ses comportements et ses pratiques développés autour de la faune sauvage. / Historically, wildlife has always been a resource for mankind by ensuring food safety to local and traditional societies. Wildlife tourism represents an evolution in the use of wildlife and affects livelihoods, culture and the local identities. The aim of this PhD research is to have a better understanding of what is wildlife tourism. This specific tourism causes a requalification of the resource, which has some impacts on human and non-human spaces, on the territorial building processes and on the relationship between men and animals. This research focuses particularly on these issues by studying wildlife viewing tourism and sport hunting tourism. These two kinds of tourism are usually in conflict because wildlife tourism is viewed as a non-consumptive tourism whereas hunting tourism is viewed as a consumptive tourism. Going beyond some common preconceptions on these different tourisms, we question the differences and/or the dialogical relationship between these practices. To conduct this research, we chose to lead a comparative analysis putting into perspective different case studies in France and in Canada. This comparative work allows a better understanding of tourism and territorial stakes linked to wildlife tourism and it allows to reflect on the transferability of processes observed between different fieldworks. From a methodological point of view, we have defined a framework to analyse wildlife tourism. This framework is based on conceptual aspects, analysis of archives, observation methods and discourse analysis. The first part of this work presents the theoretical context and introduces the systemic approach of this research (chapter 1, 2 and 3). These methodological and theoretical presuppositions are used to analyse how wildlife tourism dynamics act, react and retroact on the whole territorial system. The second part questions the socio-spatial organisation of wildlife viewing and hunting tourisms (chapters 4 and 5). These forms of tourisms are studied taking into account the settlement of these activities on space, the visitors’ expectations and the impacts on wildlife populations. The third and last part discusses the evolution of the relationship between humans and wildlife in time and space according to the tourism activity. Chapter 6 looks at the dialectical link between heritage processes and the uses of wildlife resource that are accepted or not, whereas chapter 7 suggests a reflection on human / animal interaction at the individual level questioning the people’s ethic in their use, behaviour and habits developed around wildlife.

In Brazil, such areas are called Private Reserves of Natural Patrimony (RPPNs), which are perpetually created areas, at the initiative of their owners, and are recognized and audited by the Government. The management of the reserve, however, remains the owner of the property. In the State of Goias, there are currently 63 (sixty-three) RPPNs created, and in some parts of the State, as in the South Goiano, there are no such environmental reserves. It can be seen that in the microregions where agribusiness and the sugar and alcohol industry prevails, there is no RPPN. Thus, the dissertation problematizes the imperative necessity of the voluntary institution, by the owners of rural properties, of the Private Reservation of Natural Patrimony on their agrarian properties, especially those located in the South of the State of Goiás. It is highlighted the unique importance of volitional creation of these reserves as a mechanism for the fulfillment and effectiveness of the socio-environmental function of the land and also for the preservation of the Cerrado biome. It is analyzed the growing process of unsustainable expansion of the sugar and alcohol sector, a phenomenon that represents a new cycle of the agricultural frontier, and its social and environmental impacts. In spite of Decree No. 6.961, of September 17, 2009, creating the agroecological zoning of sugarcane, with the general objective of providing technical subsidies for the formulation of public policies aimed at the expansion and sustainable production of sugarcane in Brazilian territory, this does not happen in practice. Several social and environmental implications are already felt on account of this fact. Thus, public environmental policies should be implemented by the Public Power in order to encourage rural landowners to create, register in the competent body and sustainably manage the RPPNs, so that the rural scenarios and the memories of the rural man do not be completely eradicated by the indiscriminate advance of the sugar industry. / A instituição volitiva de áreas protegidas privadas é reconhecida como uma importante ferramenta para a conservação da biodiversidade, complementando os esforços públicos de proteção ambiental. No Brasil, tais áreas são chamadas de Reservas Particulares do Patrimônio Natural (RPPNs), que são áreas instituídas em caráter perpétuo, por iniciativa de seus proprietários, sendo reconhecidas e fiscalizadas pelo Poder Público. A gestão da reserva, entretanto, continua sendo do dono do imóvel. No Estado de Goiás existem, atualmente, 63 (sessenta e três) RPPNs criadas, sendo que, em algumas partes do Estado, como no Sul Goiano, inexistem tais reservas ambientais. Pôde-se perceber que nas microrregiões onde impera o agronegócio e a indústria sucroalcooleira, não existe RPPN. Assim sendo, a dissertação problematiza a imperiosa necessidade da instituição voluntária, por parte dos proprietários de imóveis rurais, da Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural nas suas propriedades agrárias, especialmente naquelas situadas no Sul do Estado de Goiás. É destacada a importância ímpar da criação volitiva dessas reservas como mecanismo para o cumprimento e efetividade da função socioambiental da terra e também para a preservação do bioma Cerrado. É analisado o crescente processo de expansão não sustentável do setor sucroalcooleiro, fenômeno este que representa um novo ciclo da fronteira agrícola, e seus impactos socioambientais. Apesar do Decreto n.° 6.961, de 17 de setembro de 2009, criar o zoneamento agroecológico da cana-de-açúcar, com o objetivo geral de fornecer subsídios técnicos para a formulação de políticas públicas visando a expansão e produção sustentável de cana-de-açúcar no território brasileiro, isto, na prática, não ocorre. Várias implicações socioambientais já são sentidas por conta de tal fato. Destarte, políticas públicas ambientais deverão ser implementadas pelo Poder Público no sentido de estimular os proprietários de imóveis rurais a criar, registrar no órgão competente e manejar, de forma sustentável, as RPPNs, para que os cenários rurais e as memórias do homem do campo não sejam completamente deletados por conta do indiscriminado avanço da indústria canavieira.

Bumble bees (Bombus spp.) are adept pollinators of countless cultivated and wild flowering plants, but many species have experienced declines in recent decades. Though urban sprawl has been implicated as a driving force of such losses, urban green spaces hold the potential to serve as habitat islands for bumble bees. As human populations continue to grow and metropolitan areas become larger, the survival of many bumble bee species will hinge on the identification and implementation of appropriate conservation measures at regional and finer scales. North Texas is home to some the fastest-growing urban areas in the country, including Denton County, as well as at least two declining bumble bee species (B. pensylvanicus and B. fraternus). Using a combination of field , molevular DNA and GIS methods I evaluated the persistence of historic bumble bee species in Denton County, and investigated the genetic structure and connectivity of the populations in these spaces. Field sampling resulted in the discovery of both B. pensylvanicus and B. fraternus in Denton County's urban green spaces. While the relative abundance of B. fraternus in these spaces was significantly lower than historic levels gleaned from museum recors, that of B. pensylvanicus was significantly higher. Statistical analyses found that both bare ground and tree cover surrounding sample sites were negatively associated with numbers of bumble bee individuals and hives detected in these green spaces. Additionally, limited genetic structuring of bumble bee populations was detected, leading to the conclusion that extensive gene flow is occurring across populations in Denton County.

This thesis deals with the possibility of the inscription of the Church of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord in Vinohrady to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The church is a piece of work of the well-known Slovenian architect Josip Plečnik. The church's nomination is being prepared in cooperation with Slovenia where Plečnik's churches are also aimed to be nominated to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The work is focused on evaluation of outstanding universal value based on which the church meets some established criteria that are essential for the nomination to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Moreover, it also warns about the possible impacts which are closely connected with the inscription to this prestigious list. Thus, it suggests some recommendations which could eliminate those negative consequences. The final part of the work concentrates on proposing some thematic projects that strive to connect this church to the religion tourism in the Czech Republic and in Europe. The goal of these projects is to increase the awareness of this church among the public.
