This Handbook is a state-of-the-art analysis of proximity
relations, offering insights into its history alongside up-to-date
scientific advances and emerging questions. Its broad scope - from
industrial and innovation approaches through to society issues of
living and working at a distance, territorial development and
environmental topics - will ensure an in-depth focus point for
researchers in economics as well as geography, organizational
studies, planning and sociology. Split into four distinctly
thematic parts, the Handbook explores the precise definition of
proximity relationships and their diversity, including the role
they play in social and economic interactions as well as examining
the origins and evolution of such relationships. It further
presents a detailed overview of the main methods of analysis,
highlighting the link between proximity relationships and exchange
of information while explaining how exchanges at a distance rely on
links of organized proximity, something that plays an increasing
role in our societies. This engaging Handbook will provide an
excellent update for scientists and researchers on the recent
developments in the analysis of proximity relations as well as
students looking for precise and detailed information on the main
characteristics of proximity relations, regional and spatial
analysis, and the major analytical tools.
In contrast to the linear "take-make-dispose" model of resource
consumption, a new industrial model is proposed in the form of a
circular economy. This model aims to optimize the use of resources
and to reduce or eliminate waste, and is based on re-use, repair,
ecodesign, industrial ecology, sustainable supply and responsible
consumption. Industrial ecology and short supply chains can
contribute particularly on a territorial scale to the emergence of
a real sustainable development. This book develops these concepts
and presents experiments that are taking place in France and other
countries, in addition to an integrated model which details the
mechanisms through which industrial ecology and short supply chains
can generate economic, social and environmental profits. The
possible issues and obstacles facing these new practices are also
analyzed, in order to develop the outline of an adapted management
and governance which will enable them to be fully realized.
