Abstract

Après avoir montré les limites de l'analyse coûts-bénéfices appliquée aux questions environnementales, on propose une évaluation à partir d'une batterie d'indicateurs qui décrivent les impacts économiques, sociaux et environnementaux de petits projets. La méthode est appliquée à un ensemble de vingt-cinq projets réalisés dans cinq pays (Espagne, France, Grèce, Italie et Slovénie) ce qui permet une analyse comparative. Les projets concernent les infrastructures (barrage, assainissement, route forestière), la protection de la forêt, l'agrotourisme, les produits de qualité et la conservation du patrimoine. Les auteurs montrent en s'appuyant sur les techniques de l'analyse des données qu'il est possible de se limiter à un nombre restreint d'indicateurs pour mener à bien une évaluation que ce soit ex ante ou ex post.
