In the late seventies, after the recovery of democratic institutions in Spain, the planning authority is transferred to the Autonomous Government of Catalonia (Generalitat). Soon after, the incorporation of the Regional policy of 1983 (LPT 1983) allows the development of supra-municipal plans at different scales. During this period the municipal urban planning became a symbol of democratic claim. In contrast, regional planning remains distant from society. Regional plans of the LPT 1983 were postponed until the late nineties. This lack of supra-local planning in Catalonia (and Spain) defines two main problems. First, there is territory broadly managed by fragmented local plans. This is due to the division of the legal system in a law that regulates the regional planning (LPT 1983) and another law that regulates urbanism (TRLUC 2005). The second problem, regarding the lack of supra-local planning, is the opposition to the current processes of urbanization, in which the main vector is the integration of the territory. These processes of metropolization are not new phenomena. However, despite all the theoretical contributions, the plurimunicipal coordination is still very difficult to be executed through operative planning. Here lies the opportunity of the new Supra-local urban plans (PDU). The PDU are instruments intermediate between regional and local plans, implemented as a frame of reference and coordination for the municipalities included in their boundary. Like other regions and countries in the European context, the Government of Catalonia relocates the spatial planning at the regional level, defining a new MODEL of planning and administrative organization to manage its policies. Thus, the Generalitat provides PDU the role of link between the regional and the local levels to overcome the linear hierarchy of planning determined by the LPT 1983. For guiding the planners, graphic and scope guidelines are established for the PDU. However, in practice, the PDU have different APPROACHES to the methodological options and content, showing a potential flexibility to adapt its scope to the uniqueness of each of the territories addressed. The overall objective of this research is to define the innovation and the instrumental specificity of PDU. For this purpose we analyse three pioneers cases: the PDU of Bages, the PDU of Conca d'Òdena and the PDU of Vic. Drafted simultaneously, these plans address the management of three urban areas in the same region, the Central Counties. The first specific objective is, first, to define the uniqueness of the PDU by an individual study of the cases and, secondly, to generalize its scope (in the region of Central Counties) through the comparative analysis of cases. As a second objective we intend to define the role of the PDU within the framework of supra-local planning from two perspectives, one from the planning and one from the project. In particular, we analyse the three cases selected in relation to the Regional Plan for the Central Counties, which together constitute a single territorial project. According to the mentioned objectives, we verified that the PDU are not typeable plans. The instrumental innovation of the PDU lies not only in the flexibility of its contents, but also in the articulation of tested tools from other plans, both urban and regional. In this sense, the efficiency of the system results from the interaction not only of planning but also of the project in two scales, the urban areas and the region. The PDU transcend the rigid segmentation of a legal framework that splits urbanism from the territory. / A finales de los años setenta, con la recuperación de la democracia en España, las competencias urbanísticas son traspasadas al Gobierno Autonómico de Cataluña (Generalitat). Poco después, la incorporació de la Ley de Política Territorial de 1983 (LPT 1983) le permite desarrollar planes supramunicipales en diferentes escalas. En este período, el planeamiento local se convierte un símbolo de reivindicación democrática, supliendo el déficit heredado. En contraste, la ordenación territorial permanece como un propósito distante a la sociedad. Los planes territoriales de la LPT 1983 se postergan durante casi dos décadas. La falta de planeamiento supramunicipal en Cataluña (y en España) determina dos problemas principales. En primer lugar, produce un territorio profusamente ordenado mediante el fragmento municipal. Esto se debe a la división del sistema legal en un texto que regula la ordenación territorial (LPT de 1983) y otro que regula el urbanismo, la Ley de urbanismo de 2005 (TRLUC 2005). El segundo problema es que la falta de planeamiento supramunicipal se opone a unos procesos de urbanización cuyo vector principal es la integración del territorio. Estos procesos de metropolización no son novedosos. Sin embargo, pese a las numerosas aportaciones teóricas, la coordinación urbanística plurimunicipal encuentra históricamente dificultades para implementarse mediante el planeamiento. En esto radica la oportunidad de los Planes directores urbanísticos (PDU). Los PDU son instrumentos intermedios entre el planeamiento territorial y el urbanístico planteados como marco de referencia y coordinación para los municipios que los integran. Al igual que otras comunidades autónomas y países del contexto europeo, la Generalitat relocaliza la ordenación territorial en el nivel regional, definiendo un nuevo MODELO de planeamiento y de organización administrativa para la gestiónde sus políticas. Así, la Administración otorga a los PDU el rol de eslabón entre lo territorial y lo local para superar la jerarquía lineal del planeamiento que plantea la LPT 1983. Para guiar a los redactores, se establecen unas pautas gráficas y de alcance para los PDU. Sin embargo, en la práctica, los PDU presentan diferentes ENFOQUES en cuanto a las opciones metodológicas y de contenido, evidenciando una flexibilidad potencial para adecuar su alcance a la singularidad de cada uno de los territorios abordados. El objetivo general de esta investigación es definir la innovación y la especificidad instrumental de los PDU. Con este fin analizamos tres casos pioneros: el PDU del Bages, el PDU de la Conca d‘Òdena y el PDU de la Plana de Vic. Redactados simultáneamente, estos planes abordan la ordenación de tres áreas urbanas en una misma región, la veguería de las Comarcas Centrales. El primer objetivo específico radica, por un lado, en determinar la singularidad de los PDU mediante un estudio individual de los casos y, por otro, en generalizar su alcance (en las Comarcas Centrales) mediante el análisis comparado de los casos. Como segundo objetivo específico pretendemos definir el rol de los PDU dentro de la estructura de planeamiento territorial desde dos perspectivas, la del plan y la del proyecto. En particular, analizamos los tres casos seleccionados en relación al Plan territorial parcial de las Comarcas Centrales que, en conjunto, constituyen un único proyecto territorial. Según los objetivos planteados, verificamos que los PDU no son planes tipificables. La innovación instrumental de los PDU radica no solo en la flexibilidad de sus contenidos, sino también en la articulación de herramientas ya probadas de otros planes, tanto urbanísticos como territoriales. En este sentido, la eficiencia del sistema resulta de la interrelación no solo del planeamiento sino también del proyecto territorial en dos escalas, la regional y la de las áreas urbanas. Los PDU trascienden así la rígida segmentaciónde un marco legal que disocia el urbanismo del territorio.

La thèse met en évidence, dans le cas de la France, une forme de régulation composite des risques sanitaires et environnementaux liés aux usages des pesticides par les jardiniers amateurs, qui comporte trois principales dimensions. (1) Intimement articulée aux mécanismes de marché, cette forme de régulation impute l'essentiel de la responsabilité à l'utilisateur considéré en tant que consommateur à responsabiliser, alors que les autorités publiques considèrent les firmes de pesticides comme des opérateurs économiques dont les avantages compétitifs sont à valoriser, veillant donc à respecter la dynamique de l'offre et de la demande tout en se chargeant d'encadrer ce marché par l'homologation des produits. (2) Elle épouse les principes de la société singulariste où l'individu serait la référence centrale de la dynamique des sociétés contemporaines et le régulateur des problèmes collectifs par ses choix de consommation et ses prises de positions individuelles. (3) Elle s'opère dans un contexte où l'État a per¬du sa centralité sous la double influence de l'européanisation et de la décentralisation et où les modes de régulations politiques sont caractérisés par des formes moins dirigistes de gouvernement pouvant être définies comme des " politiques sans politique ". La régulation composite des pesticides domestiques est porteuse d'un postulat implicite qui impute la responsabilité des risques aux usagers et qui, si elle laisse ouverte la voie à une po¬ten-tielle réduction de l'usage des produits, tend à limiter leur exclusion et réduit les possibilités d'une transition vers un jardinage sans pesticides.

La thèse met en évidence, dans le cas de la France, une forme de régulation composite des risques sanitaires et environnementaux liés aux usages des pesticides par les jardiniers amateurs, qui comporte trois principales dimensions. (1) Intimement articulée aux mécanismes de marché, cette forme de régulation impute l’essentiel de la responsabilité à l’utilisateur considéré en tant que consommateur à responsabiliser, alors que les autorités publiques considèrent les firmes de pesticides comme des opérateurs économiques dont les avantages compétitifs sont à valoriser, veillant donc à respecter la dynamique de l’offre et de la demande tout en se chargeant d’encadrer ce marché par l’homologation des produits. (2) Elle épouse les principes de la société singulariste où l’individu serait la référence centrale de la dynamique des sociétés contemporaines et le régulateur des problèmes collectifs par ses choix de consommation et ses prises de positions individuelles. (3) Elle s’opère dans un contexte où l’État a per¬du sa centralité sous la double influence de l’européanisation et de la décentralisation et où les modes de régulations politiques sont caractérisés par des formes moins dirigistes de gouvernement pouvant être définies comme des « politiques sans politique ». La régulation composite des pesticides domestiques est porteuse d’un postulat implicite qui impute la responsabilité des risques aux usagers et qui, si elle laisse ouverte la voie à une po¬ten-tielle réduction de l’usage des produits, tend à limiter leur exclusion et réduit les possibilités d’une transition vers un jardinage sans pesticides. / In 2008, the amount of pesticides used by amateur gardeners in the approximately fifteen million private gardens which exist in France and which represent a total area of a million hectares, rose to 3500 tons. Within the framework of a highly growing social awareness regarding health and environment problems and whilst the cut back on the use of pesticides in agriculture represents one of the main political objectives in the field of environmental protection, and Europe defines its chemical substances control policies (REACH), a study on the use of pesticides in gardening practices represents a good observation point to understand representations, dispositions and social practices linked to the use of pesticides in private gardens, to question the announced “greening” of life styles, to appreciate the capacity of the commercial production-distribution chain to manage such problems, and finally to evaluate the impact and direction of public policies to prevent health and environment risks.The results of the thesis are supported by sociological investigations carried out with amateur gardeners, by means of questionnaires (N=900) and interviews (N=24), with producers and distributors of phytosanitary products and with the press specialized in gardening (N=17) in France. The analysis of the pesticides code of management applied since 2003 in Quebec and which constitutes a regulation which prohibits the use and sale of a series of pesticides recognized as the most hazardous health-wise in municipal and private gardens, represents a counterpoint of the French situation.In the case of France, the thesis underlines a sort of composite regulation regarding the sanitary and environmental risks linked to the use of pesticides by amateur gardeners, involving three dimensions. (1) Intimately linked to the marketing mechanisms, this type of regulation attributes the core of the responsibility to the user, considered as the consumer to be blamed, while public authorities consider the firms which produce the pesticides as economic operators whose competitive advantages must be considered, seeking to respect the dynamics of offer and demand as well as controlling this market based on product certification. (2) It adopts the principles of the one-man society where the individual would be the main reference of the dynamics of contemporary societies and the regulator of collective problems based on his consumer choices and his individual position-taking. (3) It is located in a context where the State has lost its central position under the double influence of “Europeanization” and “decentralization” and where the types of political regulations are characterized by less interventionist forms of government, which can be defined as “politics without politics”. The composite regulation of domestic pesticides has an implicit postulate which attributes the responsibility of the risks involved to the users and which , in case of leaving an open door to the potential reduction of the use of products, tends to limit their exclusion as well as the possibilities of a transition towards pesticide free gardening.

Na discussão atual sobre a Alfabetização Científica, há um consenso que esse processo ocorre ao longo da vida e em diferentes espaços educativos. A fim de colaborar com essa discussão, o presente estudo investigou se as exposições em jardins botânicos contribuem para a Alfabetização Científica de seus visitantes. A revisão da literatura referente à Alfabetização Científica e à educação em museus permitiu desenvolver uma Ferramenta de Análise para avaliar a presença de indicadores de Alfabetização Científica. A pesquisa foi realizada em uma exposição no Jardim Botânico de São Paulo e teve duas unidades de coleta de dados: exposição e público. Em ambas foi empregada a Ferramenta de Análise, sendo que, para o público, a análise dos diálogos identificou ainda a presença de habilidades investigativas. Os resultados revelam que a exposição, apesar de não ter sido elaborada na perspectiva da Alfabetização Científica, contempla todos os indicadores propostos científicos, institucionais, sociais e estéticos/afetivos e carrega 10 dos 19 atributos estabelecidos pela Ferramenta de Análise, sendo o Indicador Científico o mais presente na exposição. Quanto à análise dos diálogos das famílias, o Indicador Científico também foi o mais presente, mostrando que as afinidades pessoais e as vivências com o meio natural despertam a atenção dos visitantes para os assuntos relacionados à ciência. As habilidades investigativas mais evidenciadas são: observação, questionamento e explicação. Concluímos que a exposição estudada incita a compreensão e a discussão de temas científicos relacionados às questões ambientais atuais discutidas pela sociedade. Como produto final de nossas análises, traçamos recomendações para a Alfabetização Científica em jardins botânicos. / There is a consensus in the current discussion regarding scientific literacy that this process occurs throughout life and in different educational grounds. In order to collaborate with this discussion, this study investigated if exhibitions in botanical gardens contribute to the scientific literacy of theirs visitors. Literature reviews related to scientific literacy and education in museums, allowed us to develop an Analytical Tool with the purpose to evaluate the presence of scientific literacy indicators. The research was conducted in an exhibition at the Botanical Garden of São Paulo, and we used two components to collect data: the exhibition itself and the public. The Analytical Tool was employed in both of them, and while the public was concerned, the analysis of the dialogues identified the presence of inquiry skills. The results showed that the exhibition, despite not being elaborated in the scientific literacy perspective, contemplates all of the proposed indicators scientific, institutional, social, and aesthetic/affective and carries ten out of the nineteen attributes established by the Analytical Tool, being the Scientific Indicator the most present in the exhibition. Regarding the analysis of families dialogues, the Scientific Indicator was also the most present, showing that personal affinities and experiences with natural environment arouse the visitors attention to subjects related to science. The most apparent inquiry skills are: observation, questioning, and explanation. We conclude that, the exhibition studied incites comprehension and the discussion of scientific themes related to current environmental issues debated by society. As a result, we recommend scientific literacy in botanical gardens.

A dissertação responde ao desafio de Bernard Secchi (2012), que afirma o urbanismo como um discurso, no qual se podem encontrar figuras de linguagem. Depois de apresentar as vantagens de interpretar essas figuras, Secchi revela que não é na cidade, mas no jardim, que talvez seja possível encontrá-las. O trabalho desenvolveu uma pesquisa sistemática, obedecendo ao tempo e à localização de exemplos significativos de espaços públicos e parques urbanos, o que permitiu a identificação de figuras do discurso paisagístico. A análise percorreu as vertentes francesa e inglesa e os parques referenciais brasileiros. As figuras e metáforas urbanas identificadas e interpretadas foram objeto de reflexão e também sinalizaram novas rotas de pesquisa. / This essay is a response to the challenge of Bernard Secchi (2012), who affirms that urbanism is a language in which one can find forms of speech. After presenting the advantages of interpreting these figures, Secchi concludes that it is not in the city, but in the garden where they are possibly to be found. This study followed a systematic method of research, considering criteria such as time and the location of significant examples of public spaces and urban parks, which allowed the identification of the aforementioned figures in landscaping. The analysis covered the French and English styles as well as specimen Brazilian parks of particular interest. The identified urban figures and metaphors were the object of further reflection and also led to new research routes.

L’étude développe une approche globale de l’histoire d’un haut lieu de mémoire, Port-Royal des Champs, à partir du prisme du jardin et du paysage, comme clé heuristique de relecture de l’histoire de Port-Royal et du jansénisme, mais aussi des enjeux de la modernité classique aux XVIIème et XVIIIème siècles. La méthodologie croise les approches de l’histoire culturelle et de l’histoire environnementale, avec une ouverture pluridisciplinaire à partir de la notion de « rosace de Port-Royal ». Il s’agit d’abord d’observer le niveau de lecture religieux, depuis les acculturations bibliques, monastiques et augustiniennes, jusqu’au renouveau tridentin du premier XVIIème siècle, et leurs oscillations, allant du désert ascétique au jardin paradisiaque. Viennent ensuite les lectures esthétiques, poétiques et picturales, avec leurs primitivismes et tentations naturalistes, par la recherche des traces d’une nature originelle, sans oublier leurs traductions techniques dans des savoirs horticoles, botaniques et agronomiques. Apparaissent enfin les dimensions paysagères et territoriales, qui offrent l’expression d’un contre-modèle versaillais incarné dans l’espace. Ce mythe paysager traversa les siècles, depuis les réseaux de la République des Lettres des XVIIème et XVIIIème siècles, jusqu’aux diverses vagues interprétatives de la période révolutionnaire, de l’âge romantique, jusqu’au milieu du XXème siècle. Il s’agit in fine de proposer une étude globale d’une « figure paysagère de la Nation », de ses principes fondateurs, de ses flux et reflux mémoriels, et de ses processus sur la longue durée de (dé)sacralisation et de patrimonialisation. / The study develops a global approach to the history of a Chief place of memory, Port-Royal des Champs, using the lens of the garden and the landscape as a heuristic key to re-read the history of Port-Royal and Jansenism, but also the stakes of classical modernity in the 17th and 18th centuries. The methodology crosses approaches in cultural history and environmental history, with a multidisciplinary approach of the notion of "Port-Royal Rosette". It first consists in observing the levels of religious interpretation, from biblical, monastic and Augustinian acculturations, to the Tridentine revival of the first 17th century, and their oscillations between the ascetic desert and the garden of paradise. Aesthetic, poetic and pictorial approaches are then deployed, with their primitivisms and naturalist temptations, through the search for traces of an original nature, without forgetting their technical translations into horticultural, botanical and agronomic knowledge. Finally, there are landscape and territorial dimensions, which mark the expression of a Versaillian counter-model incarnated in space. This landscape myth crossed the centuries, from the networks of the Republic of Letters of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to the interpretive waves of the Revolutionary period, the Romantic age until the middle of the twentieth century. The aim is to propose a global study of a "landscape figure of the Nation", its founding principles, its memory flows and ebb, and its long term processes of (de)sacralization and patrimonialization.
