Outils pour une gestion durable du foncier et de l’environnement urbain dans un contexte de transition politique. Municipalités de Bethlehem, Beit Jala and Beit Sahour, Palestine.
PL8
L’équipe PL8 s’est fixée pour objectif de décrire l’interaction entre la dynamique de la population, le développement urbain et l’environnement dans le gouvernorat de Bethlehem. La question de la durabilité a été abordée d’un côté, en évaluant le rôle des municipalités et les problèmes qu’elles rencontrent et, d’un autre côté, grâce à l’étude des perceptions de ces municipalités par les habitants. L’équipe a été ainsi capable de proposer une série de recommandations quant aux politiques alternatives et aux instruments permettant de générer un développement durable, tout en en prenant en compte les contraintes à la mise en œuvre de ces politiques.Fiche signalétique

The target area of the study is the urban area of Bethlehem Governorate. It consists (...)
Methodology
This question of the sustainability of the target area was approached from two complementary angles. On one hand, the analysis of the role of the municipalities, and the problems they face, and, on the other hand, an investigation of the citizen’s perceptions of these same municipalities.
In order to analyze this role of the municipalities, a series of interviews and roundtable meetings were conducted with the decision makers and the directorate of Local Government in Bethlehem Governorate. (...)
Findings
By combining the results of these two enquiries the team was able to draw up a series of recommendations regarding alternative policies and tools towards sustainable development in the target area. The analysis of the role of the Municipalities was divided into four sections according to the sectors and issues that the analysis tackled.
Regarding the “Municipal Administrative and Financial Management” sector (1), the results show that if the residents suffer from a number of difficulties and (...)
Conclusions and policy implications
As a conclusion let us present what appear to be the main constraints facing the implementation of the proposed policies. The unstable political conditions, characterized by Israeli military presence in the West Bank, the lack of Palestinian sovereignty over their lands and resources, the Segregation Wall the Israelis are constructing on the Palestinian lands, together with the fragmentation of the West Bank into smaller Israeli controlled cantons are the main constraints the Palestinians (...)
