Environmental friendly behavior and attitudes have been studied in social sciences since the 1970 with the awakening of an « ecological consciousness ». Psychology has been actively taking part in these studies since then (Maloney & Ward, 1973, Oskamp, 2000, Schmuck & Schultz, 2002). Bronfenbrenner (1979) in his nested system approach, sees the...

The consequences of climate change, such as rising sea levels, marine erosion, and flooding, set a major challenge to the inhabitants and managers of coastal cities. The work presented here aims to contribute to the reflection on the adaptation of coastal cities to climate change from a perspective that combines environmental psychology and...

Sea-level rise and related risks are an aspect of climate change that deeply affects coastal areas worldwide and calls for adaptive responses. Spatial planning is one key to adaptation, in particular at local level, where coastal risks might be experienced and solutions need to be developed. However, local spatial planning is a complex process...

En Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, le changement climatique et les risques qu'il induit sur le littoral amènent à réinterroger le rapport à la mer. Cette région, où l'urbanisation des rivages marins est la plus marquée en France, est aussi fortement dominée par l'économie touristique et résidentielle sur son littoral. Depuis plus d'un siècle, elle...

Studying adaptation to climate change with an interdisciplinary approach. Evidence of territorial inertia on the French Mediterranean coastAlexandra Schleyer-Lindenmann & Samuel RobertCoastal cities need to adapt to undisputed consequences of climate change such as sea-level rise. But risk perception is also a social construction which must be...

Au cours de la décennie 2010, l'adaptation des territoires côtiers à la montée du niveau de la mer et aux risques induits par le changement climatique a été progressivement et solidement inscrite à l'agenda des politiques publiques en France. Toutefois, la transposition des principes de l'adaptation ne se fait pas sans difficultés, tant au...

Ce rapport d'étude vient répondre aux interrogations de son commanditaire, la CLI (Commission Local d'Information) du CEA (Commissariat à l'énergie Atomique) de Cadarache. Il s'organise en trois partie : une première partie établit un état des lieux des connaissances des risques majeurs par les habitants. Les risques majeurs officiellement...

Adaptation to climate change is a critical issue in coastal areas, at risk from sea-level rise, erosion, and sea flooding. In territories strongly urbanized and long oriented toward tourism and a residential economy, a change in coastal management and territorial development is hard to initiate. In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (France), a leading...

Coastal landscape can be studied through social representations of individuals who live and/or participate in its management. In this perspective, this work proposes a methodological framework to reveal the ways of living on the French Mediterranean coast. It also proposes some results produced by the implementation of this methodology. Its...

In France, for several years now, different research projects have been carried out on coastal risks in all coastal areas. This research is conducted with an inter- or trans-disciplinary perspective, involving psycho-socio-environmental approaches, and systematically involving stakeholders concerned by the territories at various scales...

As coastal floods will grow stronger due to climate change, coastal communities' capacity to perceive, understand and adapt to an evolving environment must be assessed. This study explores how inhabitants of two Mediterranean French cities, Fréjus and Port-Saint-Louis-du-Rhône (PSLR), understand and prepare for coastal flood risk. A...

Communities dwelling in Mediterranean regions have for a long time adapted to environmental hazards. They have developed over time culturally meaningful knowledge about their environment and about what behaviours are more adapted and under which conditions. Meanwhile modern territorial management involve technical and scientific solutions that...
