International audience ; The Mediterranean railway corridor is a project of European scale transport infrastructure to be implemented in the Spanish Mediterranean regions in order to improve the interconnection with the French network. At national, regional and even local level, many political, economic and academic stakeholders take a part in the debate around its realisation and they contribute to elaborate a multiple territorialisation according to their singular visions and objectives. To give evidence of this complex territorialisation, the analysis of stakeholders' discourses and the mapping of their representations of the corridor together with context elements, lead to the production of a series of map hypothesis to be presented to the actors as a basis for interviews and field work. This series of maps displays plural visions of the " corridor territory " that cross the institutional boundaries and force to take into account multi-scalar spatial and even non-spatial dimensions.

International audience ; Since October 2010, Valencia has been connected to Madrid by the third radial high-speed rail axis. The city now intends to reach a nodal position within the network, thanks to its selected situation on the "Mediterranean corridor" project. The implementation of the AVE (Spanish high speed rail) reactivated Valencia Parque Central project, which aim is to transform disused railways into a park and to build a station and its tracks underground. AVE's implementation in Valencia is a major political issue at all scales. The institutions of Valencia's autonomous Community called for the AVE, which is supposed to boost tourism and regional economy, and to consolidate its position of outer harbour and beach of Madrid. The second issue concerns cities more directly. The realisation of a new railway station is an old project, but it is made possible, even necessary, with the arrival of the AVE. This project of a new station relies on an ambitious underground infrastructure, above which an urban park of 23ha and a business district should be created, giving the city a new centrality. Behind this project, there is a challenge for mobility at a metropolitan scale in Valencia. Parque Central concrete project is limited to the development of a business district in a section of the city, and remedial measures to improve the interconnection of networks. ; Depuis octobre 2010, Valence est connectée à madrid par le troisième axe ferroviaire à grande vitesse. Aujourd'hui, la ville tente d'atteindre une position nodale dans le réseau, grâce à sa place privilégiée sur le "Corridor méditerranéen". La mise en place de l'AVE a réactivé le projet de Valencia Parque Central, dont le but est de transformer des friches ferroviaires en parc et de construire une gare souterraine. La mise en place de l'AVE à Valence est une question politique majeure à tous les échelons. Les institutions de la Communauté autonome de Valence ont réclamé l'AVE, censé dynamiser le tourisme et l'économie régionale, et consolider sa position de port et de plage de Madrid. La deuxième question concerne la ville. La réalisation d'une nouvelle gare est un projet ancien, rendu possible voire nécessaire par l'arrivée de l'AVE. Ce projet repose sur une infrastructure souterraine ambitieuse au-dessus de laquelle un parc urbain de 23ha et un quartier d'affaires seraient créés. Enfin, derrière ce projet se cache un enjeu majeur pour la mobilité urbaine. Parque Central se limite au développement d'un quartier d'affaires dans une petite partie de la ville et à quelques mesures pour remédier au manque d'interconnexion des transports urbains.

Mémoire de M2, Sous la direction de Nacima Baron-Yellès, 168 p. ; In a European context that promotes great trans-national railway axis, Spain develops the project of a "Mediterranean corridor", from the French border to Algeciras, thus questioning the organization of a network so far centered on Madrid. Valencia lays in a nodal position between this axis and the radial Spanish network. The present study will focus on the point of view of political and economic actors regarding the nature of the axis and the modalities of Valencia's insertion in the corridor. Our aim is to show how the territories are adapting to this situation. Locally, the Parque Central project, supported by the people's representatives, is devoted to passenger traffic and local interests, while economic actors are supporting rather a freight axis at a wider scale. The plurality of scales and actors will lead us to question the relationship between networks and territories in the case of Valencia's insertion into the Mediterranean railway corridor. En el contexto europeo de promoción de grandes ejes ferroviarios transnacionales, España promueve un proyecto de "corredor mediterráneo" que se extiende desde la frontera francesa hasta Algeciras, lo cual pone en tela de juicio la organización de una red que hasta ahora tenía su centro en Madrid. En aquel eje, Valencia está en posición nodal con la red radial española. La postura de los actores políticos y económicos a propósito del tipo de eje (mercancías o pasajeros) y de las modalidades de inserción de Valencia en el corredor estará en el centro de este estudio. Queremos mostrar de qué manera se adaptan los territorios a tal situación. En la escala local, el proyecto de Parque Central, patrocinado por los representantes políticos, está fundado en el tráfico de pasajeros y en los intereses locales, mientras los actores económicos apoyan un eje de mercancías cuyo territorio de referencia es más vasto. La multiplicidad de las escalas y de los actores nos invita a interrogarnos sobre la relación entre red y territorio en el caso de la inserción de Valencia en el corredor ferroviario mediterráneo.

Mémoire de Master 1 Sous la direction de Thierry Sanjuan 119 p. ; The establishment of a new international airport in Sihanoukville is a matter for public and private actors concerning local, national and supranational stakes. It can be analyzed in economical and political terms. This work examines how stakes of local development take a geopolitical dimension: such a project is very important from divergent points of view and it can also be considered as a means for Cambodia to affirm its position at an international scale. It appears that Sihanoukville airport is the result of a tight economical and political collaboration between public and private partners, so that the country might have a more important position in regional trade and a leading political role in South-East Asia above all.

International audience ; The notion of transport corridor encases numerous meanings and has led to a plentiful scientific production in varied disciplines. The analysis of this literature leads to the preparation of a theoretical framework for the assessment of case studies. This framework is based on a functional typology of corridors and on a multi-scalar perspective. Yet it should be necessary to confront these definitions of the notion of transport corridor in the scientific literature and its different variations in the institutional literature undertaking development projects. The comparative approach of two case studies, Europe and North America, enables the confrontation of the theoretical notion of corridor with practical development and planning projects in different geographical contexts. First, it establishes a comparison on a continental scale between the political planning of TENT and the economic vision of NAFTA corridors. Then a parallel is drawn on a regional scale between implementation logics of corridors in different spaces-Spain and Arizona. The purpose of this article is to question the scope and the limits of this notion in spatial planning practices by studying these case studies successively in several geographical scales. Indeed, concrete projects should be taken into account thanks to a multi-scalar approach to understand the reality of the lag between the concept, its political application and its concrete implementation in territories. The main results of the article will be related to the similarity of the planning logics on the continental scale, the necessary attention to the multiplicity of public and private actors in the territorialisation of transport corridors and the diverse forms of territorialisation on a regional scale. ; La notion de corridor de transport recouvre de nombreuses acceptions et a conduit à une production scientifique abondante dans des disciplines variées. L'analyse de la littérature peut conduire à la construction d'un cadre théorique pour l'analyse des ...
