Evaluation de la méthode ADESA d'inventaire des périmètres d'intérêt paysager et points de vue remarquables au regard de l'objectif de participation du public de la Convention européenne du paysage

In both scientific and political discussions, recent decades have seen a gradual developement of a consensus for the need to implicate participants in environmental and spatial planning, decision-making and project implementation. Considering the landscape, public participation is notably mentioned in the recent European Landscape Convention (Florence, October 2000). In the early 1990’s the Ministry for the Walloon Region has entrusted to ADESA (Association Action et Défense de l’Environnement de la Vallée de la Senne et de ses Affluents) to identify the remarkable landscape and the interesting viewpoints in the perspective of a total revision of the land affectation plans. The method elaborated integrates the public participation. Our objective is to assess the procedure led by ADESA. Which stakeholders were associated ? According to which methods ? What are the pros and cons of the method ? Which types of landscapes were identified and why ?
