Faced to the challenges of globalization, decentralization and sustainable development, the study of territorial realities has become more complex, and requires new methods. Establishing comprehensive diagnoses, combining quantitative data analyzes and qualitative approaches, first it requires to clarify the concepts, and in particular the governance's.
The research is to detect the reasons of the evolution for two cretan regions (Lassithi & Chania) and those that block their development. The two territories have relatively similar physical characteristics: sunshine urban areas, the proximity of the sea, the risk of flooding etc. They seem to have many assets and weaknesses quite close. The research consists in determining the various levels of attractiveness in order to demonstrate that the area of Elounda for example is more attractive than Chania but on the contrary the department of Lassithi is less attractive than the department of Chania. The project is presenting propositions for the local stunstaible urban development of the department of Lassithi Crete. This urban study was selected by the University of Sorbonne Paris 4.
Face aux enjeux de la mondialisation, de la décentralisation et du développement durable, l'appréhension des réalités territoriales est devenue plus complexe, et requiert de nouvelles méthodes. Etablir des diagnostics complets, combinant des analyses de données quantitatives et des approches qualitatives, suppose d’abord de clarifier les concepts, et tout particulièrement celui de gouvernance.
La recherche a été menée pour déceler les raisons de l'évolution de deux régions crétoises (Lassithi & Chania) et celles qui bloquent leur développement. Les deux territoires présentent des caractéristiques physiques relativement proches: l'ensoleillement des zones urbaines, la proximité de la distance de la mer, le risque d'inondations etc. Ils semblent avoir de nombreux atouts et faiblesses assez proches. La recherche consiste à déterminer les différents niveaux d'attractivité afin de démontrer que la zone d'Elounda par exemple est plus attractive que Chania mais au contraire le département de Lassithi est moins attractif que le département de Chania. Le projet présente des propositions pour le développement urbain durable local du département de Lassithi en Crète.
