Abstract
[fre] « En milieu péri-urbain, l'irrigation est souvent présentée comme un mode de structuration efficace et durable de l'espace ; ce pari avait notamment fondé en large mesure l'aménagement hydraulique des Plateaux de Millery-Mornant, dans l'Ouest lyonnais ; mais l'appropriation du territoire reste un enjeu, et le réseau d'irrigation s'avère ici un rempart précaire pour contenir les pressions qui s'exercent en faveur d'une production d'espace concurrente de l'usage agricole (en l'espèce, exploitation de carrières de sables et graviers) ; l'analyse reconstitue la dynamique des rapports de forces qui s'est instaurée à cette occasion, et l'hégémonie qu'elle établit en définitive au profit des carriers ; les modalités de cette prise de contrôle paraissent suffisamment « banales » (politique d'appropriation systématique par surenchère sur les prix du foncier agricole, stratégie efficace dans le débat collectif ouvert par l'élaboration des P.O. S. pour être reproductibles en d'autres hypothèses de conflit sur l'utilisation de l'espace peri-urbain. » [eng] In suburban districts irrigation is often presented as an efficient and lasting method of structuring space. This option was in particular the basis of the hydraulic installations on the Millery-Mornant Plateaux to the west of Lyons, but ihe ownership of the land is at stake and the irrigation network. In this case seems to be a precarious rampart against the pressures in favour of a production competing with agricultural use (in this case, the mining of quarreys for sand and gravel). This analysis reconstitutes the dynamics of the conflicting forces built up here and the final hegemony of the quarrey- owners. The means of this take-over seem sufficiently « ordinary » (a policy of sytematicalJy gaining possession of the land by outbidding farm and prices, an effective strategy in the collective debate held in order to establish the Plan for the occupation of the Land POS) to occur again in other hypotheses of conflict over the use of suburban space.
