Rethinking land strategies through climate change adaptation policies and the spatial recomposition of coastal territories. A comparative analysis of the Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côtes-d'Azur regions.

Abstract: On the front line of climate disruption, coastal territories are gradually seeing their urban production systems impacted. Faced with this problem, "the spatial recomposition of coastal territories" has been the main doctrine of state public action since 2019. Nevertheless, its effective scope comes up against a dual context: the residential inertia characteristic of coastal territories, and the structural increase in the scarcity and cost of land. This thesis therefore examines the effects of the injunction to "recompose" on the modes of production of coastal land strategies. Based on a comparison of the Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côtes-d'Azur regions, the aim is to analyze the readjustments produced by the system of land actors on the development of these strategies, and their effects in terms of territorial cooperation. The sociology of public action will be used to examine the return of "remote" public intervention in the land sector.

Keywords: Land policies - Coastal territories - spatial recomposition - sociology of public action
