  • [hal-04271386] Discrimination against people with mental, physical or visual disabilities in the French rental housing market: field experiment

    We implement correspondence testing to detect and assess the extent of discrimination against people with disabilities in the French rental housing market. By sending 1,750 emails in a matched-pair procedure, we provide evidence of significant and extensive discrimination against blind people with a guide dog, individuals with mental disabilities, and individuals with motor impairments in the process of rented housing allocation. However, the primary cause of discrimination against blind individuals appears to stem from the presence of the guide dog, rather than the disability itself. Our results are also consistent with the presence of statistical discrimination (particularly based on financial means). We find that absolute discrimination against disabled applicants increases in accordance with the level of rent, while real estate agents discriminate significantly less against disabled applicants than private landlords.

  • [hal-05110567] Why do we keep killing crows? Farmers’ attachment to a controversial method in an attempt to protect their crops

    Corvids are responsible for important damage to spring crops across western Switzerland and have become a significant concern for the farming community. Various prevention methods have been tested to reduce agricultural losses, but no suitable solution has been found. In an attempt to solve this problem, the Swiss farming community is asking the authorities, despite its relative unpopularity, to liberalize control shooting. However, the effectiveness of this control method has never been scientifically proven, and the few studies in ecology or conservation biology that question its efficiency are not considered by the farming community. This raises the question of why the attachment to an uncertain and controversial method is so strong. By bringing out the farming community's dominant representation of the problem of corvid damage and analyzing the stakeholder network dynamics, this article aims to highlight the social logics and multifactorial dimension of choosing a control method. We found that the fight against corvid damage is part of a more general conflict that pits the farming community against the rest of society on issues of ecology and production. Various social, cultural and cognitive logics lead the farming community to remain attached to control shooting, making a cognitive gamble that has no solid scientific basis. To succeed in getting farmers to abandon control shooting, three conditions must be met: the emergence of a replacement innovation, awareness of the negative practical, economic and ethical aspects of control shooting, and improved access to scientific knowledge on the subject in the farming world.

  • [hal-05232549] Assessing the eco-efficiency of inter-municipal waste management services in France

    We assess the eco-efficiency of French inter-municipal cooperation entities in charge of waste management. We employ a conditional order-m approach to (i) estimate their eco-efficiency considering variables characterizing their environmental context, (ii) evaluate the effect of these contextual variables on the eco-efficiency. Our results demonstrate that the population size, the type of area (e.g., tourist, rural), and the waste pricing systems significantly influence eco-efficiency. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring local waste management policies to the specific characteristics and available resources of each area. They provide valuable insights for local authorities seeking to enhance eco-efficiency and optimize waste management practices. © 2025 The Authors

  • [hal-05280007] Les agriculteurs et agricultrices dans le changement climatique : faire face à un « mal commun »

    L’agriculture est pointée du doigt comme contribuant de façon importante au changement climatique. Les manières dont les agriculteurs vivent la crise climatique et y font face sont en revanche assez peu documentées et les détresses professionnelles et humaines sont occultées par la double injonction à l’adaptation et à l’atténuation portée par les politiques publiques sur le climat. La journée d’étude « Agriculture et changement climatique : refaire monde dans les territoires face à un “mal commun” ? », qui a eu lieu à Dijon en juin 2024, visait à explorer les conséquences de la crise climatique, que nous proposons de considérer, du fait de son ampleur, comme un « mal commun ». L’expression nous permet de nommer les réalités climatiques qui affectent les agriculteurs et altèrent leurs existences. Que fait ce « mal commun » aux agriculteurs et agricultrices, à leurs activités, aux non-humains et à leurs territoires ? Est-il alors possible de « refaire monde dans les territoires » ?

  • [hal-05261976] Les espaces populaires. Déconstruire l'opposition entre les campagnes et les citées

    L’idée d’une opposition entre classes populaires urbaines et rurales est largement répandue dans le débat public et sert de point de départ à certaines stratégies politiques visant à privilégier l’une ou l’autre - ou à déplorer l’abandon de l’une au profit de l’autre. Pourtant, cette idée ne repose sur aucun fondement sociologique solide. Ce chapitre entend dépasser ce lieu commun et éclairer les caractéristiques que partagent les classes populaires urbaines et rurales, mettant en lumière leur condition commune.

  • [hal-05232442] Analysing the diversity of farmers' pesticide use through professional dialogue network analysis

    Understanding the mechanisms underlying farmers’ trajectories of change is essential to produce knowledge that informs agricultural extension and advisory services, as well as for adapting policies that facilitate agroecological transitions. In this study, we aimed to understand the influence of information flows between farmers on farmer’s pesticide use trajectories, based on an analysis of professional dialogue networks. We conducted a case study analysis of three groups of farmers within the DEPHY program in France, using Social Network Analysis methods and theories (Compagnone & Hellec, 2015). We first characterized farmers’ pesticide use trajectories through the time-course of the Treatment Frequency Indicator (TFI). Based on interviews with farmers, we identified farmers’ relationships with other farmers, and produced a social network diagram for each case study. Than we characterized farmer’s crop protection practices within the network and the information they exchange, using the concept of “shared repertoires of resources” for action (Wenger, 2011). Finally, we built socio-historical narratives to highlight the transformation processes of the networks over time (Bidart & Degenne, 2005). We show that most farmers maintain relationships with peers and peer groups (both formal and informal), included outside their own DEPHY group. They thus exchange information (knowledge, norms, diagnostic tools and references) that frame their ways of thinking about and implementing crop protection. Some groups build and mobilize mainly pesticide-centered repertoires, while other develop new tools and new norms better suited to low-pesticide agriculture. We highlight that in some cases, the DEPHY public policy-induced farmers groups, aiming to put pesticide reduction into practice, fails to become dialogue spaces where repertoires and practices evolve towards this target. We identified key factors determining the group ability to transform local norms and renew repertoires of resources available for farmers’ action: strong social dynamics existing before the DEPHY group formation, advisor management of the interactions between peers, and the advisor’s long-term stability. These results challenge the idealized vision of peer groups and invite us to broaden our understanding of collective dynamics by focusing on the professional dialogue networks that farmers themselves shape to find support and carry out their practices. We argue that network analysis methods could serve as a useful tool for advisors to map out the dialogue spaces in which they engage with farmers. From an academic perspective, this study underscores the value of integrating two systemic disciplinary fields: farming system research and social network analysis.

  • [hal-05191851] Decoding France’s food environment combining data bases to characterize the food environment in France

    The dataset presented here draws on several French institutional database sources. The aim is to develop a nationwide database of food outlet locations that can be automatically enriched and updated with a high level of reliability. To this end, we created a flexible and dynamic Python script that can be widely utilized by a maximum of users. Data can be updated either on a daily basis to create a series of files within a limited timeframe, or on a monthly basis to reflect updates to the SIRENE 3.11 database of the national statistical institute INSEE. Starting from SIRENE 3.11, we enriched the data using the Alim’ Confiance (Ministry of Agriculture) and the Les Professionnels Engagés en Bio (organic farmers) databases. We were also able to enhance the accuracy of food environment description by identifying food outlets currently closed, exploiting the BODACC (official trade bulletin) database with its almost daily updating. These data provide valuable support for studies on the food environment at both macro and micro levels. The database’s wide range of scales makes it possible to map food sales and distribution outlets, a prerequisite to any investigation of food environments in a given territory.
