Abstract

A key component of the environment in coastal territories, the sea also creates special geographical features and grounds social and cultural identities. At a time of rising concern and multiple projects for its exploitation as well as its protection, public policies need to consider the social representation of the marine environment and people’s visions of its future. Relying on the concept of maritimity, defined as all the relationships binding human societies to the sea and the resulting landscape, economy and culture, we assess the maritime character of a coastal region in southern France by analysing the local sea–related associations its population are engaged in. This is made possible through the supervised extraction of the relevant data from the national directory of associations, the official database of non-profit associations in France, which are then given appropriate statistical and cartographic treatments. Results provide an indication of the depth of the region’s maritime character, as well as the areas of activity and places in which maritimity is the most developed. These are consistent with the social and economic profile of the region, highly engaged in tourism and a residential economy. Further work is recommended, with a view to exploring the region’s maritimity more closely by comparing it with other regions and applying finer analysis to the stated objectives of the sea-related associations.

与海洋有关的关联可以揭示沿海地区的海洋邻近性?法国南部案例研究
作为沿海地区环境的重要组成部分,海洋还创造了特殊的地理特征,并为社会和 文化特性提供了基础。在对海洋的开发和保护日益受到关注和开展多种项目之际,公共政策需要考虑海洋环境的社会代表性以及人们对海洋环境未来的展望。海洋邻近性的定义是人类社会与海洋以及由此产生的景观、经济和文化之间的所有关系,根据这一概念,我们通过分析当地居民参与的与海洋有关的活动,评估了法国南部沿海地区的海洋特征。为此,我们从法国非营利性协会的官方数据库--全国协会名录中监督提取了相关数据,并对这些数据进行了适当的统计和制图处理。结果显示了该地区海洋特征的深度,以及海洋活动最发达的领域和地方。这些都与该地区的社会和经济概况相一致,即旅游业和居民经济高度发达。建议进一步开展工作,通过与其他地区的比较,对该地区的海洋性进行更深入的探索,并对与海洋有关的协会的既定目标进行更细致的分析。

期刊介绍: Maritime Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal on the social dimensions of coastal and marine issues throughout the world. The journal is a venue for theoretical and empirical research relevant to a wide range of academic social science disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, geography, history and political science. Space is especially given to develop academic concepts and debate. We invite original research papers, reviews and viewpoints and welcome proposals for special issues that make a distinctive contribution to contemporary discussion around maritime and coastal use, development and governance. The journal provides a rigorous but constructive review process and rapid publication, and is accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and early career academics.
