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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Climate change is a hazard that our societies have to deal with collectively and individually, either by mitigating it or by adapting to its consequences. In an interdisciplinary approach, psychology can shed light on the psychosocial processes involved in coping with climate change. With this in mind, we have conducted several studies focusing...

Qu'il soit envisagé dans sa dimension matérielle ou sa dimension idéelle, le paysage est un marqueur de la manière dont le littoral est habité. Tout d'abord, en un lieu déterminé, il est une réalité matérielle complexe en permanente recomposition, qui résulte à la fois des conditions bio-géo-physiques propres à l'interface terre-mer et des...

With ongoing environmental problems, the valid measurement of environmental concern and attitudes is still an essential issue in environmental and social psychology research. Since decades the most widely used instrument across cultures and disciplines is the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) scale by Dunlap, Van Liere, Mertig & Jones (2000)....
