This study investigates the relationship between the inhabitant and the territory concepts in three Brazilian territories, according the French approach to the foundations of the territorial economy. We seek to identify the main features of the inhabitant in its respective territories, in order to understand how this "territorialized" social actor articulates work and home life in the territory, and to analyze the impacts of his/her actions in the local territorial development process. The inhabitant concept is based on a six elements theoretical framework from the literature review: territory, proximity, territorial resources, everyday life, reciprocity and mode of dwelling. Then, a categorization of an "ideal type" of inhabitant was constructed used as parameter for the data analysis and interpretations to identify the main features of the inhabitant in each context. As an innovative aspect, the research proposes the concept of "territorial engagement", that reflects the type of relationship between the inhabitant and the territory, which can be instrumental, normative or affective. Therefore, the inhabitant is analyzed on the basis of their relationship with the territory, in other words, mode of dwelling, rather than a social, economic or professional predefined category. This is an exploratory qualitative research which uses the case study (multiple cases) as research strategy, and the inhabitant, as the unit of analysis. The content analysis technique was used for the analysis of the interviews with the local actors. The study points to the complexity of social, economic, political and cultural relationships in each territory and the importance of their socio-historical trajectory for understanding each one. The results show the importance of the inhabitant as a social actor who reinforces local life (game rules) in your mode of dwelling. We also realized the territories porosity face the changes due to human mobility (as the tourists presence, for example) impacting in the inhabitants life. Finally, it ...

The "Mediterranean corridor" is a project for a coastal railway axis that results from a double planning process both in Spain and Europe. In Spain, beyond its role as a transport infrastructure, this project stands at the meeting point of economic and political stakes. Indeed, it does represent a change in the planning logic, as it strengthens a coastal axis rather than the radial lines centered on the capital. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate how the corridor becomes a powerful factor of both the rearticulation of the roles of the different stakeholders and the reinterpretation of the paradigms of spatial planning, and how it promotes the interactions between the various stakes that are characteristic of each territorial scale. The Mediterranean corridor forms part of a double process of politization at the national level and depolitization at the European level. It contributes to reshape spatial representations, to organize the territories at different scales, and to rearticulate the roles of the different stakeholders around the project. ; El "Corredor Mediterráneo" es un proyecto de eje ferroviario litoral que constituye una parte de la planificación española y europea. En España, además de tener un papel de infraestructura de transporte, también cristaliza en cuestiones económicas y políticas. Representa un cambio en la lógica de ordenación del territorio, al reforzar el eje litoral en detrimento de los enlaces radiales con la capital. El objetivo de la tesis es entender cómo el Corredor viene a ser un potente factor que incita a revisar el papel de los distintos actores implicados, así como a reinterpretar los paradigmas de la ordenación del territorio e interrogar la dialéctica entre las cuestiones propias de las distintas escalas territoriales. Finalmente, se observa que el Corredor se encuentra inmerso en un doble proceso, consistente en su politización a nivel nacional y en su despolitización a nivel europeo, contribuyendo a la remodelación de las representaciones espaciales, la organización del territorio a múltiples escalas y la recomposición de la relación entre los actores vinculados con el proyecto. ; Le « corridor méditerranéen » est un projet d'axe ferroviaire littoral, qui fait l'objet d'une double planification espagnole et européenne. En Espagne, au-delà de son rôle d'infrastructure de transport, il cristallise des enjeux de nature économique et politique.

L'objectif de la thèse est de montrer comment le corridor devient un facteur puissant de recomposition des jeux d'acteurs et de réinterprétation des paradigmes de l'aménagement, et comment il contribue à faire dialoguer les enjeux propres aux différentes échelles territoriales.
