Rural territories are undergoing profound changes, accelerated by technology or by the mobility of assets and of individuals. The context of rural transformation calls for a review of the observation and analysis instruments along the lines of an integrated methodological approach. This paper raises the question of the relevance of a multidisciplinary approach for research focusing on the development dynamics of Regional County Municipality territories, particularly as regards the relations between towns and country areas (FQRSC, concerted action on rural communities, 2005-2006). The three methods of analysis used are : topodynamics, structural geography and socioenvironmental indicators.

AbstractThis study of new directions in adult education is described in two sections. The first section comprises a synthesis of current developments regarding policies in adult education within contemporary societal needs. The second section presents a review of 630 research articles published between 1990 and June 1994 in journals dealing with the scientific topic of adult education by American, British, Canadian, French, as well as other international writers. These articles complete the portrait of current issues in adult education and help link scientific activity in the field to current and prospective concerns.

AbstractThis study describes results of an investigation of persistent syntax problems among post-secondary students. The author begins with a review of theoretical and didactic bases that underlie the acquisition of syntax at primary and secondary levels. The teaching of syntax is, in these cases, related to morphosyntax and discursive practices. Following a description of the methodology used, including the sample chosen and the data obtained, the results are analysed and presented. The author notes that students' behaviors differ in situations which require responses to problems related to syntax that are constraining as compared with situation which do not have constraints. An analysis of verbal reports illustrates how this area of teaching has been neglected.

AbstractIn the last decades, clinical criminology has undergone a significant evolution which announces important changes to come for research and intervention in the field. Longitudinal studies on risk factors, age at onset and trajectories of antisocial behaviour throughout development have resulted in an important body of knowledge allowing for a better understanding of delinquent behaviour in a developmental perspective. Furthermore, the striking evolution of research in biomedical sciences and its impact on our understanding of the etiology and on the treatment of mental health problems, notoriously associated with criminal behaviour, have seen the bio-psycho-social paradigm emerging as the basis of research and intervention for clinical criminologists. Results of studies in neurosciences and behaviour genetics especially underscore the importance of this paradigm to fully understand delinquency. If the emergence of the bio-psycho-social paradigm in a developmental perspective and its impact on our understanding of antisocial behaviour are relatively recent, the tremendous possibilities it opens now to researchers and clinicians make this new strategy essential in the field of clinical criminology.

Barcelona and Mass Tourism: Tourismophobia and Coexistence – Tourism is becoming a source of wealth for Mediterranean cities that benefit from globalization. Yet the staging and storytelling process of these cities transforms the urban landscape and the uses of public space. On the one hand, the tourism strategy aims to provide a quality image of the city with international tourists, promoting its attractiveness and involving the creation of new recreational areas; on the other hand, the success of this communication and marketing process creates a tensed situation in old port districts, sometimes neglected due to visitor overcrowding and the concentration of social problems, that the new term “tourismophobia” sums up well. The Barceloneta “revolt” in August 2014 and in other areas of the Catalan capital from 2014 to 2017 testifies to a crisis and urban transition that we analyze from an original field survey based on the study of the demands set out on placards hanging from the inhabitants' balconies, interviews, and a census from the Barcelona Tourist Office. Our results highlight three elements explaining social tensions from the confrontation of two lifestyles, sedentary and nomadic: (1) Barcelona and its waterfront districts are victims of success and exponential tourist attraction, but also concomitant superposition of the attraction process generating continuous streams of business and leisure tourism, namely: heliotropism, heliotropism, and increased metropolization; (2) residential tourism and digital innovation involve a significant redefinition of the rental properties, upsetting the social core of the town centre and popular neighbourhoods who simultaneously took advantage of a quality urban operation in 1990; (3) an urban crisis related to tourism and its consequences can be observed, and it engenders the desire to find a new tourism governance, but we identify a lack of strategic planning and ideological contradictions in the ability to arrive to a peaceful co-presence tourists – inhabitants.
Keywords: tourisme de masse, tourisme urbain, tourismophobie, front de mer, Barcelone, mass tourism, urban tourism, tourismophobia, waterfront, Barcelona.
