1. “The role of the social representations in the evolution and the resolution of the conflicts: Projects of wind turbines installation in the Ile de France” Marianne Ehrlich (marianne.ehrlich@agroparistech.fr) Aigline de Causans (aigline.decausans@agroparistech.fr)

2. Theoretical aspects Social representation Theory of the personal implication According to 3 dimensions: - Identification with object - Valuation of object - Perceived capacity of action Method of the free association followed by a prototypic analysis (Vergès)

3. Method Field study in 2 steps: - interviews - questionnaires Experimentation (examine the link between representation and practice)

4. Geographical perimeter of data collection peri-urban community of the Ile de France with a project of wind turbines installation 2 towns of Seine et Marne: - Jaignes - Gironville 1 town of Essone: - Puissay

5. Hypotheses H1: We suppose that the contents of the social representations will differ according to the category of the actors H2: We suppose that the rate of acceptance of the wind turbines will be in accord with level of subject’s implication H3: We suppose a diminution of the differences in subjects’ representations accordingly to degree the resolution of the conflict H4: We suppose that the position of the subjects and level of engagement are predicted by social representations.

6. Contribution Social representations of environment and wind turbines: - Acceptance according to category - Implication according to category
