Abstract
Coastal areas are, due their attractiveness, submitted to a strong urban pressure. This pressure has significant impacts on ecosystems, due to the conversion of land from natural to residential and/or economic uses, but also in terms of various types of pollution, especially due to the increase in daily mobility following population growth. Within these areas, land tenure and land use conflicts are particularly acute.
Thanks to the different planning tools available to them according to their level and functions (PLU, SCOT, environmental zoning, preemptive rights, ZAD, etc.), French local public actors play a direct, immediate or delayed, role in the regulation of land uses. Our study area, the Arcachon Bay, is an emblematic French coastal site for both landscape and ecological reasons. It is a highly attractive region thanks to its closeness to the urban area of Bordeaux. This attractiveness has led to strong urban pressure on natural and agricultural zones, which in turn has incited several national and local authorities, including national agencies such as the ‘Conservatoire du Littoral’ and the “office national des forêts”, the Departmental Council and municipalities to implement different types of land-use regulations, especially zoning restrictions. This paper aims to understand the impact on the land and housing markets of regulatory systems of land use such as zoning.
