Par le troisième numéro de la Revue internationale de géomatique, aménagement et gestion des ressources (RIGAGER), nous souhaitons recevoir les articles sur les politiques, les processus, les méthodes, les techniques et les outils de l’aménagement du territoire et de gestion des ressources naturelles, humaines et financières dans les pays tropicaux.

Pitch

Since the early 1990s, the concepts of land use planning and management of natural and human resources are at the center of environmental concerns. These are "voluntarist processes seeking to increase the competitiveness of the territories by involving the actors in the framework of concerted actions, generally transversal and often with a strong spatial dimension".

We can not see, at fair value by the way, the speed of development in a country and stand out in relation to the future and the sustainability of its territories, than when we identify with the policies, the citizenship and governance based on transparency in the management of environmental objects. It is defined as "being both the natural environment and the concrete environment, constructed by man and all that affects the behavior of man" (George, 1993).

For us, therefore, we are convinced of the reciprocal and complementary relations between the planning, the management of the resources and the planning of the territory and it is even said, that any territory which wants to be attractive, accessible and competitive, must be first arranged developed and planned. It must also reconcile globalized politico-economic actors and societal recompositions in the process of citizenship and emergence.

In practice, spatial planning and resource management are operational, orderly and concerted actions of the different actors, across the different territories of a country, to mitigate territorial imbalances, propose the substitution of a new order better than the existing, according to a prospective vision, advocating the humanization of growth.

The objective, endogenous development, promoting a better territorial distribution of the population, activities and equipment ... for the proper functioning of the internal socio-economic system, in order to harmonize the growth, well-being and development of population. This must go through the political compromise, the social peace and the legitimacy of the actor-producer of territorial development on the basis of spatially referenced data.

This is what we call exogenous development, by a good integration and a good anchoring to the local, regional, continental and global system, favoring the development of exchanges of all kinds.

This new vision of spatial planning and resource management can only succeed in a democratic, decentralized, participatory, anticipatory, transparent and good governance environment in accordance with the expectations, wishes, requirements and / or needs of the stakeholders.

It is through sound spatial planning policies and good resource management mechanisms that tropical countries can correct imbalances and guide spatial developments from a holistic perspective and a comprehensive and forward-looking project. .

With the launch of this third issue of RIGAGER, we would like to receive articles on the policies, processes, methods, techniques and tools of land planning and management of natural, human and financial resources in tropical countries. .

Contrary to the tradition which requires to define in advance the axes of the number, it is the articles which will impose these axes.
