Through the analysis of the motivations for participation in collaborative platforms as an obtainer or as a provider, the paper provides new evidence on the collaborative economy in Europe. For that purpose, we analyze a pan-European sample of 14,050 citizens from 28 countries. The study, which applies an empirical prediction methodology through a structural equation modelling (SEM), provides two main contributions to the literature. Firstly, economic and usefulness motivations predict the obtaining and provision of goods and services through collaborative platforms in Europe. Secondly, non-monetary exchanges also predict the provision of collaborative platforms. Our results also have implications for territorial development. Understanding the motivations between obtainers and providers can foster collaborative exchanges of essential resources, especially at a small-scale and at local levels.

Since the late 60's, planning in Cuba has been conceived as possible only once the collectivization of the means of production has been achieved at a national scale. The dispersal of rural settlements and the rapid growth of the major cities, particularly La Habana, have however remained major concerns for the state planning institutions. Since 1975, a centralisation/decentralisation dialectic has been at work. It combines a desire to balance most accurately territorial distributions as well as to make up for the wrongdoings of the prerevolutionary past, geographical constraints and even some mistakes in recent planning and management.
Keywords: Cuba, aménagement du territoire, centralisation, décentralisation, Cuba, land use planning, centralisation, decentralisation

The organizations that offer library and research services to legislative assemblies in the 21st century will have to be more in tune with their environments than before and will have to adapt rapidly. Change comes more rapidly and is more profound. Change also influences the legislative process such as the internal workings of the assemblies and, simultaneously, the societies to which they are essential. The rational is as follows: knowledge and information play an important role in the power of assemblies and will be increasingly so in the future; trends that affect modern society will influence their processes and information systems. Therefore, given the current state of affairs, new paths to be taken by parliamentary information services in the 21st century can be identified.

The article seeks to show that the painted fly calls for a particular distance. The fly binds together the enunced body and the enuncer's body, forcing the latter to carefully observe forms and textures that will set forth emotional information. The fly places itself between both bodies imagined as flesh, and thus imposes its own representation of values, turning the experience into that of a dysphoric flesh.

ln our society, environmental problems hold more and more of a great importance. A very growing care in this regard concerns the ecological damage approach, that is the damage caused to the environmental areas and to the natural resources.This study is focusing two major difficulties: firstly to clearly define the ecological damage and secondly to determine reliable evaluation methods.The insurance industry, in regards to the needs of ecological damage indemnification, cannot itself bring an answer, but it could substantially contribute to the solutions of this major challenge of the next centuries.
