| Summary: | When a potentially nuisance and risk-producing site is planned in a territory, very often a part of the population expresses its opposition. This is particularly the case for sustainable energy production sites (wind farms, methanizers, etc.). This inhabitants’ refusal to see their immediate environment disturbed is generally called NIMBY Syndrome. However, many social scientists refuse this qualification they consider stigmatizing for residents. They prefer to see the refusal of these new sites as an resistance act, folowing a insufficiently concerted decision and/or too favorable to the the firm who carries the project. This article aims to show that the term 'nimbyst' can be used to describe the inhabitants opposing the project without stigmatizing them. It also wants to show that notion of social acceptability can be used in this kind of context while remaining at a distance from the interests of the different actors, i.e., axiologically neutral. |
