I hope you came back home without any problem.
I thank you for your participation to the conference of territorial intelligence Besançon 2008. It gathered more than 230 participants and more than twenty nationalities, in Europe and beyond. Since Saturday, I received many positive comments on the communications quality.
This conference was broadcasted on Internet. The conference blog received more than six hundreds visits from many countries. Feedbacks and slide shows are stocked there and the debates continue on this place.
This conference ended the coordination action caENTI, which will finish on February 2009. It also aimed at prefiguring a more ambitious European project, like a network of excellence. I received many queries regarding this issue. More than ten teams suggested to welcome seminars to prepare this project during the next two years. You will be regularly informed on the website http://www.territorial-intelligence.eu and by email.
The final presentation of the caENTI has just ended in front of a full amphitheatre
At the outset Jean-Jacques Girardot and Cyril Masselot paid homage to the sucess of the Besançon 2008 blog, which enabled “many people to see the conference without being there”. With 161 visits on Wednesday, 197 on Thursday and 250 visits today, affirm that the blog has been a success. All the more since the visitors come from all around the world, Africa to South America passing by Europe and Asia. The Territorial Intelligence portal has recorded 300 visitors per day.
This sucess is well deserved, more than 500 photographs have been published over the last three days, without counting the live videos and conference workshop and plenary powerpoints.
Eddy Petit, blog master, along with masters students studying languages, those studying electronic publishing, and the doctoral students who have all participated in writing and translating the posts are to be congratulated in particular.
Virginie Gannac : expositions in situ comme support d’une politique de développement durable dans les régions post-industrielles et les nouveaux territoires régionaux ?
La communication de Madame Gannac repose sur des actions entreprises à Loos en Gohelle à Nantes. Ces actions, à caractère artistique, sont destinées à aider les populations victimes de désindustrialisation pour reconstruire une identité locale et créer un nouveau dynamisme. La mise en place de ces actions s’effectue sur un mode participatif associant étroitement tous les habitants. C’est le cas de la “Biennale de l’estuaire de Nantes”, ainsi que de la “Chaîne des terrils”, qui constitue la première écopole française.
En conclusion : Comment l’art peut-il devenir catalyseur d’une dynamique de développement durable, permettant le passage de la phase de désindustrialisation à celle d’une “reculturisation” nécessaire à de nouveaux dynamismes ?
A workshop in Spanish, by the Spanish for the Spanish! Thank goodness I had my appointed translator: thank you Marion! This workshop dealt essentially with the presentation of the results of monitoring by ACCEM of immigrants across the whole of Spain.
Julia Fernandez Quintanilla, director of ACCEM in Madrid, started with a presentation of the network of immigration observatories, recounting the history, the methods put in place, and the partnerships put in place over time with, among others, the University of Franche-Comté in Besançon.

Relaxed atmosphere during this first workshop devoted to the landscape theme. The first presentation of Gaëtan Bourdin describes the development of a participative and interactive tool in a urban area, the aim of which is to catch the belonging feeling of the inhabitants of a precise area in order to better involve them in a planning project (the Malakoff area in Nantes, France). The aim of this tool is to try to reproduce visual (360° photos) and sound (beatbox) atmospheres.
During the second presentation (clearly more theorical), Philippe Woloszyn proposes to formalize sound atmospheres while evaluating the cognitive distance between a real soundscape and an imagined soundscape. The participants then open the discussion about the question of the objectivity of the concept of landscape information.
Then, return to the visible landscape with the last presentation of Alain Sauter. He proposes an evaluation system of the links between landscape and public policies. Landscape indeed seems to be more and more important in the eyes of citizens, and the mention of the landscapes protection in the European Lanscape Convention is the proof of this realization. The presented approach proposes a methodology based on digital information sources (MNT, soil occupation), the aim of which is to identify and caracterize the visible areas in a urban space (Montbéliard).
These three presentations demonstrate that landscape is in the right place within the territorial intelligence issue because it is considered as a common good for which it seems more and more necessary to take into account the attachment value.
At the end of the final conference session, those signed up for the conference dinner should make their way to the ‘Galerie Victor Hugo’ at 4 rue de la Convention.
