ABSTRACT. The governance of ecosystem services (ES) has been predominantly thought of in terms of market or state-based instruments. Comparatively, collective action mechanisms have rarely been considered. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a conceptual framework that brings together ES, social interdependencies, and collective action thinking. We use an ES conceptual lens to highlight social interdependencies among people so as to reflect on existing or potential collective actions among them. This framework can also contribute to increasing people's awareness of their mutual interdependencies and thereby fostering, framing, or enriching collective action, in ways that take into account the diversity and complexity of ecological processes underlying human activities. Our approach can contribute in particular to agroecological transitions that require landscape level innovations and coordination mechanisms among land users and managers. The framework distinguishes three types of social interdependencies: (i) between ES beneficiaries and ES providers, (ii) among beneficiaries, and (iii) among providers. These social interdependencies are in turn analyzed according to four main dimensions that are critical for collective action: (i) cognitive framing of interdependencies, (ii) levels of organization, (iii) formal and informal institutions, and (iv) power relations. Finally, we propose a strategy to turn this framework into action in contexts of participatory action research, a strategy grounded on a number of methodological principles and tools that convey complexity and increase people's awareness of interdependencies in agrarian social-ecological systems.

“…Interestingly, two of the terms that contribute statistically the most to axis 1 are intercommunal (« communautaire ») and territory (« territoire ») which are often combined. The widespread use of « territoire » is well identified in the literature as marking a determination to build up and assert power (Barreteau et al, 2016). The over-representation of proactive verbs of action may also be understood as part of this process of displaying and legitimising the power of the city.…”

This article supplements the array of methods in urban policy discourse analysis by applying textometry to a corpus of planning documents. Textometry is a systematic computer-assisted analysis of textual data. When applied to large corpora, the method can reveal contrasts that cannot readily be detected by non-instrumented human reading. It seems promising therefore to use textometry to analyse urban planning documents which, in France as in other countries, are known for being at first sight pretty indistinguishable from each other. By analysing dozens of documents at a time, this method increases the scale of analysis, enabling us to identify massive transitions in discourse over time or major contrasts among discourses emanating from specific groups of actors. When combined with classical methods (i.e. interviews, qualitative archival research), textometry seems to be effective at identifying new ways of understanding urban policy discourses. To exemplify the potential of such a method, the analysis developed here draws on a corpus of 36 French urban transport plans (plans de déplacements urbains) for the period 2000–2015. Our results display marked contrasts in discourses, mainly as a result of changes over time. Paradoxically, for most cities between 2000 and 2010, the discourses become increasingly abstract in their content while highlighting a proactive attitude and providing specific information on the document implementation process and a precise list of institutional partners.

“…La notion de territoire, telle qu'elle est utilisée en économie, géographie et sociologie, met l'accent sur l'appropriation et construction sociale d'un espace (Gumuchian et Pecqueur, 2007) en étudiant les structures, les acteurs sociaux, les interactions et rapports de force dans la construction des pratiques, des institutions et des processus décisionnels. Celle de système socio-écologique met l'accent sur les relations fonctionnelles, d'interdépendance, et les flux entre les écosystèmes et les activités humaines (Liu et al, 2007 ;Díaz et al, 2015), et s'applique à dresser des cadres opérationnels pour les processus de décision (Barreteau et al, 2016).…”
