Emerging Paradigms for Intelligent and Resilient Territories in an Insular Context
The contemporary transformation of territories, catalyzed by the development of digital technologies, the contribution of advances in computer science and the obvious intensification of climatic upheavals, raises fundamental epistemological questions about the evolution of our anthropogenic spaces. The emerging concept of 'intelligent and resilient territories' is part of a multidisciplinary scientific approach, combining geographical, anthropological, cultural and technological approaches. The aim of this scientific event is to bring together researchers from a wide range of disciplines around this theme.
Island territories have unique characteristics where environmental, economic and societal issues converge. Their intrinsic insularity, their ecosystemic vulnerability, and their socio-cultural and historical particularities make them ideal laboratories for the study of territorial innovation, solidarity mechanisms and collective intelligence applied to territories.
In a context where digital technologies are opening up new perspectives for the development of island resources, the major epistemological challenge lies in analyzing the ways in which technological innovation and digital transformation can catalyze the emergence of societal value, while contributing to the understanding and development of island specificities.
Topics :
The expected contributions will explore the integration of the concepts of intelligence and resilience in the governance of island territories, using a transdisciplinary approach combining human and social sciences, digital technologies, geography and urban planning. The central issues include :
-
the development of spatial planning strategies that respond to contemporary challenges (urbanization, rural devitalization, climate change, risks) while preserving the integrity of local communities;
-
analysis of the potential offered by digital and IT technologies (data capture devices, information systems, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence) to optimize the management of resources and infrastructures, with a view to participative and ethical governance.
-
identifying the mechanisms and/or processes that will enable local people to be effectively involved in territorial projects, enhancing their intangible heritage, their cultural practices and their collective aspirations.
-
studying mechanisms for preventing the risks inherent in territorial digitization, particularly in terms of digital inclusion, personal data protection and social equity.
The aim of this scientific event is to transcend sectoral approaches in order to offer a holistic and integrated analysis of the issues surrounding intelligent and resilient island territories.
Purpose and Benefits
The aim of this symposium is to illustrate the conference theme through real-life examples, and to formulate concrete recommendations for the transformation of island territories, by combining an academic angle with feedback from field experience. By investigating the interface between technological innovation, cultural practices and public policies, the aim is to reflect on the form of governance capable of reconciling modernity and tradition, efficiency and equity.
The expected results will provide a better understanding of how territories can adapt to contemporary crises, while strengthening their autonomy and identity in the face of global dynamics.
Submission guidelines
Researchers are invited to submit proposals for articles of 6 to 8 pages (maximum) in French or English (according to the template provided) on the conference theme. Proposals should clearly present the problem addressed, the methodology adopted and the preliminary or expected results.
Proposals are to be sent through the sciencesconf.org website (see the documentation for further instructions)
