The WP3 Observation will contribute to the change from territorial governmental observation systems, which are (traditionally) based on public statistic for the exclusive service of policy makers, towards an instrument of participatory governance that combines wider stakeholders, communities and individuals in decision-making in order to make a lever to the evolution of innovation behaviour.

Political Agenda for a new European observatory of development

The environmental concern allows the sustainability trade-off system to retain resilience, while implying a reduction in the self-organization of the sustainability system. Thus, linkages between socio-cultural and ecological sustainability will emerge through place-based interaction studies, evaluated through their informational dimensioning, therefore defining their resilience capacity. This informational evaluation should reveal similarities between economical system, human societies and ecological systems, through lifestyle preferences, consumption behaviour and policy rules, underlined by biodiversity and cultural diversity mirroring. Therefore, observed territorial co-evolution of social, economic and ecological systems should be able to provide useful insights regarding the harmonious integration of the three pillars, or ”triple bottom line” of sustainable development, as new innovative indicators to be applied to the socio-ecological challenge.

WP3B <methods> Fundamental methods and generic tools for territory analysis, animated by Serge ORMAUX, CNRS-MSHE (France)

The purpose of this task is to build on the four major methodological paradigms found in the teams which make up the network and question their participatory dimension (actual or potential). These are territorial observation (UFC, among others), fieldwork (UNPL, in connection with a number of specific theoretical research papers), structural geography (UQO, to be combined with an additional dimension related to participation) and landscape mediation (UFC, ULG, and others). Of course, the aim is to see how it is possible to transcend these four points into considering a meta-method, or at least a complex system based on them. Moreover, for each of these methodological levels, we will bring up the question of indicators necessary for their implementation.

WP3C <indicators> Sustainable development indicators for local level, animated by Claire HAGGETT, EDINBURGH (United Kingdom).

This task will work under the hypothesis that information is more important than tools of treatment and that it constitutes an essential stage in the progression which drives from problems to tools. The concept of socio-ecological transition implicates more precisely the combination of different data to construct a new type of synthesis indicators (task 3A) but the state of art shows that often, the current offered indicators are either very general or too category-specific and they are rarely accessible to territorial actors (micro scales). This task aims to analyse the availability of current and new indicators at local level (secondary indicators) and the process through which local actors build up their own indicators (primary indicators).

WP3D <Modelling> Modelling territorial information systems accessible to sustainable development actors, animated by Sylvie DAMY, CNRS-MSHE

This task aims to make a significant advance in the modelling of “caENTI's Community territorial intelligence systems” that provides a rigorous effort in design and formalization of local observatories designed to provide information useful to regional communities. The target is to build the tool of multi-criteria analysis and spatial analysis around a single, consistent database, accessible online, using free cross-platform solutions, Linux, MySQL, PHP on Drupal. Thus the SCIT organize the information and procedures for dealing with the definition of data for publication on the Internet, according to the specific use of development partnerships. They also aim to generate a common language between players of various professional cultures.

WP3E <web-mapping> Design and implementation of a global web mapping, animated by Peter PEHANI, ZRC SAZU (Slovenia)

Fed by task 3C and 3D, this task suggest design and implementation of a social web mapping system with global ambition, which makes indicators at nested regional scales available to the territorial actors, from the continental to the sub-municipal level. This would imply reflecting on the management of meta-data, formats, data validation, etc... and training of the interested players how to use web mapping application.

The aim of this task is to integrate the results of task 3A to 3E into a synthetic research report, and to organize the on-line annexes to give a large access to the details of the results of each task. The results will be confronted to other different complementary researches funded by FP7 in the former call for proposals in order to make a disseminable synthesis report as integrative as possible about main factors involve in promoting a pacific and democratic socio-ecological transition at territorial level.

Objectif : Faire évoluer l’observation territoriale d’un dispositif de gouvernement au service exclusif des décideurs politiques vers un instrument de gouvernance participative qui associe plus largement les acteurs, la communauté et les individus au processus décisionnel, afin d’en faire un levier d’innovation et d’évolution des comportements.

Ojectivo : Cambio de la observación de un régimen de gobernanza territorial en el único responsables de las políticas hacia un instrumento de gestión participativa que combina partes interesadas en general, las comunidades y los individuos en la toma de decisiones, para hacer una palanca innovación y cambio de comportamientos.
