Territorial assemblages simulation for territorial intelligence

International audienceThe following article is based on the theory of assemblage ontology seen as a framework to formalize new projects territories in a perspective of territorial intelligence. The area of research is PARIS-SACLAY Campus, which views the development of a world science cluster. The assemblages are simulating by means of simplicial complexes. Its objective is to offer new decision-making tools to territorial community

Evaluation of projects funded by the European Commission and of the existing information of the GDs that might be relevant in the Territorial Intelligence field. Coordination Group WP4P "Projects" of CaENTI

International audienceThis communication makes a state of the activities carried out by the WP4P coordination group of the 4th work package "Fundamental methods" of the CAENTI, Coordination Action of the European Network of Territorial Intelligence. The WP4P concerns a technical issue, the evaluation of projects funded by the European Commission and of the existing information of the GDs that might be relevant in the territorial intelligence field. The first six months of the CAENTI were mainly devoted to the projects selection. A first task consisted in identifying the projects which are funded by the European Union and that can be considered as belonging to the territorial intelligence field. A first group of keywords was suggested to select them. The first selection essentially underlines projects that are linked to governance. We need to enlarge key words to make e new selection. The objective for 2007 is to organize a seminar that will gather the projects leaders of the most relevant projects about territorial action and the CAENTI territorial actors to deepen the principles and the practice of territorial intelligence with them. The identification of the information that the GD owns and that is relevant for territorial intelligence will be made in collaboration with the WP4I group that leads research activities about territorial information (WP4I), before making a survey of the GDs. During this conference, the WP4P should define and program its prospects

Intelligence management and territory notion for an investigation of territorial intelligence conception

International audienceGeneraly Territorial Intelligence is understood with a geographic referent. In this paper, we try to propose another alternative. It considers Territory as an intellectual construction which has a sense only in relation with others territories. These can be connected with it, affected it or superposed. In this manner, we present an interpretation of Territorial Intelligence Market in France with help of a comparison between Territorial Intelligence Devices and consulting company services in domain of Economic intelligence or Knowledge Management.En général l'Intelligence Territoriale est comprise à partir d'un référent géographique. Nous tentons dans cet article de proposer une alternative qui conçoit le territoire comme une construction intellectuelle qui n'a de réalité propre que vis-à-vis d'autres territoires qui le jouxte, influent sur lui ou se superposent. En ce sens nous présentons une interprétation du marché de l'Intelligence Territoriale en France en comparant les services proposées aux entreprises par des Dispositifs d'Intelligence Territoriale et des cabinets de consultants spécialisés en Intelligence Economique ou Gestion des Connaissances

Territorial intelligence and the three components of territorial governance.

International audienceGlobalization processes, on the one hand, and political decentralization, on the other, have increased the complexity of decision making processes on a territory, and have demanded updating the three basic components of territorial governance: cognitive, i.e., the way of thinking and understanding the territory and, as a result, territorial development; socio-political, i.e. the way in which abilities, responsibilities and resources are negotiated in the new decentralized political map; and technological-organizational, that is, the networks of actors and tools to act on the territory. This communication considers that the emergence of the concept of territorial intelligence takes place in parallel with these transformations in the different dimensions of territorial governance in the transition from the "information society" to the "knowledge society". In the first section the concept of territorial governance is presented. Its three main components -cognitive, socio-political, and organizational-technological- are presented in the second section. The third section analyses the way in which these three components of territorial governance are affected by the characteristics of the knowledge society. As a conclusion, in the fourth section it is claimed that the development of territorial intelligence is a consequence of the transformations undergone by the different dimensions of territorial governance in a context of globalization and political decentralization in the current knowledge society.Los procesos de la globalización, por un lado y de la descentralización política, por otro, han incrementado la complejidad de los procesos de toma de decisión sobre un territorio y han exigido la renovación de las tres componentes básicas de la gobernanza territorial: la cognitiva, es decir, la forma de pensar y entender el territorio y en consecuencia el desarrollo territorial; la socio-política, es decir, la forma en la que se negocian las competencias, responsabilidades y recursos en el nuevo mapa político descentralizado; y la tecnológica organizacional, o sea, las redes de actores y cajas de herramientas para la actuación sobre el territorio. Esta comunicación plantea que la emergencia del concepto de inteligencia territorial se produce en paralelo con estas transformaciones en las diferentes dimensiones de la gobernanza territorial en el tránsito de la "sociedad de la información" a la "sociedad del conocimiento". En el primer apartado se presenta el concepto de gobernanza territorial. En la segunda sección se plantean sus tres principales componentes: cognitiva, socio-política y tecnológica organizacional. El tercer apartado analiza la forma en que estas tres componentes de la gobernanza territorial se ven influidas por las características de la sociedad del conocimiento. A modo de conclusión, en la cuarta sección se argumenta que el desarrollo de la inteligencia territorial es una consecuencia de las transformaciones de las diferentes dimensiones de la gobernanza territorial en un contexto de globalización y descentralización política en la actual sociedad del conocimiento

Territorial Intelligence and Governance.

International audienceAs with European experiments, in various regions in France, territorial intelligence projects have been initiated since 2003. (see the regions of Lower Normandy, Lorraine, Réunion Island, the Aquitaine region, etc.).The objective of these is to gather and exploit information which is not confined to particular sectors and the collective processing of which can contribute to durable development. Apart from institutions, civil society and the inhabitants of the territory, it is observed that companies and in particular small and medium sized enterprises are natural partners who show interest in such initiatives. Both the different economic chains and the participating organizations thus derive considerable benefit in terms of the anticipation of threats and in the reaffirmation of the territory as a common resource worth defending. Above and beyond the information processing systems operating within these organizations or economic chains, the articulation of internal actions to generate informational capital in terms of local territorial intelligence, produces a leverage effect with visibility of European or even worldwide visibility (Herbaux, 2007)52. Nonetheless these experiments lead to widely differing results, of which the progressive abandonment of the project by the companies involved is one of the most commonly observed. To support a theoretical contribution as a thread for this communication, we report on the results of a Delphi type survey completed in 2006 and covering 53 companies in the Nord- Pas de Calais region involved in a process of territorial intelligence since 2003. This revealed that 43 companies out of the 53 concerned had not followed through on their internal information sharing project and contented themselves, by default, with the results by economic sector derived from public regional surveillance Beyond this apparent disengagement from the process initiated, we may be curious about this apparent discretion of a group of actors concerning local government. This work nonetheless did generate a consensus around certain observations among the actors questioned, particularly as regards an initiative for which they did not deny the final utility but for which the requirements necessitated a significant modification to their internal culture. After the initial conventional responses: "security of patrimonial data, new choices in investment of time, lack of means, different priorities, etc.", repeated and differentiated questioning of those concerned revealed that the progressive abandonment of these practices and commitments bore a relationship with a number of human factors of relational and cognitive nature, thus depriving the project of its founding principles. This observation echoed that of the implication suggested by Girardot en 200553 on the theme of multi-level governance. Although the financial aspect is a factor in the long term survival of regular investments of man-hours, this criterion appeared progressively more marginal to the general project among the actors surveyed, as against several positions cited as prerequisites. Based on a synthesis of the results of the study, we propose five key success factors to promote within organizations to promote the logic of information sharing. To this effect, our proposal for a model named in French "CADIE" (Communication, Appui, Durée, Implication, Ecoute - or, in English, Communication, Support, Duration, Attentiveness) suggests several attitudes to which organizations must adhere to develop long-term integration in a territorial intelligence network. The limitations of our proposal arise from the small size of the sample at our disposal and the regional limits of our data gathering. This experimentation, duplicated in various European regions would benefit from a multi-cultural gloss and thus would provide the template for a preliminary European approach to the logic of territorial intelligence

Proton instability of 73^{73}Rb

The steps of territorial intelligence are based on the emergence of new fashions of exchange within the territory . It acts thus on the territorial visibility and hustles the places of strategic reflexion; by doing this, it takes part within the country, to make move the bond sociétal. This paper subjects a posture of collection and mutualisation of information within the territory

Industrial Ecology, an Innovative Approach Serving Spatial Planning: the Example of the Tool PRESTEO© (A Program to Research Synergies on a Territory)

Industrial ecology is an interdisciplinary framework for designing and operating industrial systems as living systems interdependent with natural systems. This paper presents industrial ecology and its relevant territorial echoes. Our goal is to take advantage of these through the development of PRESTEO and the exploration of the cross-over between industrial ecology and social sciences such as spatial planning and territorial intelligence
