Social practices and perceptions
Characterise water use practices and the representations/perceptions that drive them to identify ways of transforming them.
Description
The aim of our research is to characterise water use practices and the representations/perceptions that drive them in order to identify ways of transforming them for sustainable management.
They combine:
- Individual surveys on a representative sample of the population, to identify behaviours, attitudes and associated social representations;
- Individual semi-directive interviews and discussion groups to specify the components of social representations, the norms and values that drive them;
- Discussion groups to deliberate on options for regulating these behaviours, using a variety of media depending on the context and the issue at stake: forward-looking scenarios, collective role-playing, discussions with experts, etc;
- A restitution of individual and collective preferences on the regulations to be promoted.
