Resumen en inglés

Citizens have a key role to play in preserving the quality of their local environment. In this article we examine the link between the perception of local ecological risks linked with consumption activities - what we call local ecological awareness - and recognition of a shared environmental responsability. This study is based on the results of a survey (n=107) carried out in a peri-urban area close to Bordeaux (SW France). Results show that citizens are able to identify to some extent local ecological risks linked with household consumption and that they are somewhat distrustful of the environmental commitment of their fellow citizens. the "aware" group (44% of those surveyed) attribute a greater responsability for local environmental mangement to households than the optimists (27%) and the "suspicious" (29%). Recommendations are made to encourage better involvement on the part of citizens in local environmental management, adapted to the different levels of awareness.< Leer menos
