Abstract
[eng] An analysis of the landscape and a regional study of agricultural production systems . The study of the means of development (of a region's agriculture) implies an all-round knowledge of its situation, above all of its farm units. Within the framework of such studies and with a view to synthesis, two notions are considered together : the first - technico-economic - is the farm' production systems ; the other - geographic - is the landscape. . After briefly outlining the production system and a few remarks about the limitations of studies being made at present the author develops his conception of « landscape » : a basis of data which are original because of the simultaneity in time and the superposition or proximity in space of a number of phenomena. . Landscape analysis can be organized. It then, as two examples show, brings to light the interaction of the production systems factors. It reveals certain aspects of the nature and functioning of these factors and the constraints imposed on their evolution. Finally it suggests the hypotheses which guide the analysis of present systems and the elaboration of modified or new systems. Landscape analysis has a part to play in the preliminary phases of an analysis of the agriculture of a region. [fre] L'étude des voies de développement de l'agriculture d'une région implique une connaissance globale de la situation dans laquelle elle se trouve, notamment celle des exploitations agricoles. Dans le cadre de telles études et avec un souci de synthèse, deux notions sont rapprochées : l'une, technico-économique, est le système de production des exploitations ; l'autre, géographique, est le paysage. . Après un bref rappel relatif au système de production et quelques remarques sur les limites des analyses actuellement pratiquées, l'auteur développe une conception du paysage : support d'informations originales par la simultanéité dans le temps et la superposition ou le voisinage dans l'espace, de nombreux phénomènes. . L'analyse du paysage peut être organisée. Elle révèle alors, comme 'le montrent deux exemples, des interactions entre des facteurs des systèmes de production ; elle met en lumière des aspects de d'état et du fonctionnement de ces derniers ainsi que des contraintes à leur évolution ; enfin elle suggère des hypothèses qui guident l'analyse des systèmes actuels et l'élaboration de systèmes modifiés ou nouveaux. . L'analyse du paysage prend place dans la phase de reconnaissance d'une analyse de la situation de l'agriculture d'une région.
