摘要

The present article describes conceptualization changes relative to the structure and dynamics of urban fringe agriculture, along with implications for agricultural land-use planning. Research that has been conducted over the last 50 years in North America and Western Europe is reviewed and assessed. The image we once had of urban fringe agriculture was stereotyped and relatively simplistic, but it is now much more complex. This concept is still evolving, with the emergence of a political economy approach, focusing on local situations. The main concern in North America until the late 1970s was the negative impact of urban expansion on agriculture. This was related to growing environmental awareness and an interest in the disciplines of geography and regional science through a neo-classical approach, starting with a modified form of Thunian analysis (Fig. 1A) applied to the rapid urban expansion phenomenon and its effects on agriculture. The resulting negative image of urban fringe agriculture represented one of the main underpinnings of the different agricultural land protection programmes under way in the 1960s and 1970s. Their frequent failure reflects the partial and biased nature of this interpretation of urban fringe agriculture. However, other research began underscoring the complexity of the problem and highlighted the diversity of the situation, especially with respect to forces affecting agriculture, natural environments in urban fringe areas, the form and dynamics of urban expansion and farmers’ behaviour in urban fringe zones (Fig. 1B-D). At the beginning of the 1980s, this new conceptualization characterized urban fringe agriculture as a mosaic of landscapes and agricultural structures. Some zones could be considered as truly experiencing destructuring processes, partly related to urban expansion and other forces. Other areas could be viewed as zones of agricultural adaptation and innovation, and others as following normal agricultural change and modernization patterns. The dominance of this conceptualization has been increasing through the 1990s because of a rapidly emerging political economy approach, focusing on local situations. By this approach, analysis of transformation in urban fringes emphasizes the role of local players, including farmers. The latter operate through local and nonlocal networks and are influenced by local cultures and by the overall context within which they function (Fig. 2). This reveals how difficult it is to protect agriculture simply through land use planning documents and regulations. It also indicates that, for any approach, it is essential to recognize the heterogeneity of farm structures and their dynamics. In addition, it highlights the importance of management approaches whereby dialogues are developed between representatives of collective values of society, farmers and their families, as opposed to relying on formal regulatory approaches.
