Abstract
[fre] L'analyse de la nature de l'appropriation des biens (biens publics, privés, communs) appliquée aux ressources naturelles renouvelables en Afrique et la notion de coût de transaction, permettent de mieux comprendre le fonctionnement des institutions et règles de gestion traditionnelles des forêts, eaux de pêche, eaux d'irrigation, pâturages, sols agricoles, etc. L'accroissement de la densité de la population rurale et de la pression d'utilisation des écosystèmes implique des changements de techniques de production et l'adaptation des institutions. Le texte explore quelques-unes des questions posées par cette évolution et conclut sur la nécessité de décentraliser l'Etat et de prendre en compte les concepts de l'économie institutionnelle pour l'évaluation des projets d'environnement. [eng] Institutional economics and renewable naturel resources management . The analysis of the nature of goods' property (public, private, common pool) applied to renewable natural resources in Africa and the concept of transaction costs allow a better understanding of traditional institutions and management rules of forests, fisheries, irrigation, pastures and agricultural lands. The increasing density of the rural population and the pressure on ecosystems imply changes in production techniques and institutional adjustments. This paper explores some of the issues related to those evolutions. State decentralisation appears necessary and institutional economics concepts useful for the evaluation of environment projects.
