| Summary: | The objective of this paper is to analyse environmental governance processes in the context of two expanding winter resorts located close to the Vanoise national park (France). The analysis focuses on New Tourism Units (NTUs), a building permit which must be filed by resorts prior to any significant tourism development. As such, NTUs are relevant indicators of the relations between project stakeholders and of the changing role of the State regarding tourism development and environmental protection issues. Based on written documents and interviews with both public and private stakeholders, results suggest an intermediate situation between a chaotic and a regulated model of environmental governance. Moreover, the role of State services is changing with respect to focus of action, expertise and geographic scale of spatial planning. |
