Gisèle Vianey, « Diachrony of representations of agricultural activity in the planning and development procedures of communes », Revue de Géographie Alpine, ID : 10.3406/rga.2006.2408
: Social geography tools are used to examine agreements - or disagreements - and to conduct a diachronic analysis of land-use planning documents in four peri-urban communes. It is shown that these documents tend to move away from representations of agricultural activity towards representations of agricultural space where landscape and environmental functions are combined with the agricultural function. In these constructions, the policies adopted at the intercommunal scale are used to support and legitimise choices made by each commune, choices that go from die expression of a process of rurbanisation or peri-urbanisation, where agriculture is relegated to the slopes, to the maintenance of agriculture in those areas where its potential is high.
