Une analyse des installations localement indésirables en termes d’économie de la proximité. Application à la gouvernance territoriale du stockage des déchets

The geographical and organized proximities constitute useful grids for the analysis of local environmental conflicts, in particular, those related to land use such as the ones caused by the "Locally Undesirable Land Use" (Lulu) of the North American literature of the 1980s. We suggest an application to sanitary landfills for non-hazardous waste in metropolitan France, based on an exhaustive geographical knowledge of these facilities (with original data in terms of geographical proximity) and a field survey conducted on nine different sites. Beyond classical results in terms of geographical and organized proximities, this survey shows how the stakeholders apprehend and use the notion of proximity, which is itself framed by environmental legislation whose territorial and planning aspects are in full evolution, putting in scalar tension different general interests at the local level.
