Presentation
To face climate changes and requirements linked to spatial planning, the LOTERR laboratory conducts pluridisciplinar studies on territorial and landscape heritages, as well as on present and prospective territory modelling. This allows measuring the print left by past actions conducted by public and private actors, and to propose new supports of decision and territory management. The laboratory contributes on reflections on:
- Renewable energy insertion within territories and their impact on landscapes;
- Impact and perception of new infrastructures on territories;
- Spatial reorganization: reconversion of industrial territories/eco-neighborhood planning.
LOTERR is a research unit in geography gathering about thirty researchers, engineers and technical staffs. Complementarities between researchers’ methodologies in the LOTERR makes it a competent center to study territories in their different dimensions: naturel setting, landscape and heritage characteristics, perception and identity of territories.
