| Summary: | To decipher the climatology of a geographical area usually consists in interpreting data collected from a corpus of statistics and instrumental observations. However, another source of data is based on the knowledge of the local populations. This posture is applied to the region of Imerina, on the highlands of Madagascar. So, a double climatological approach is experimented: on one hand, based on the peasant vernacular knowledge, on the other hand, via a classic statistical study. Confronting these two analysis shows how different sources of data can be complementary. Furthermore, paying attention to local knowledge and know-how in a context of climate change and sustainable developement is a way to apply a more modern than ever scientific posture. |
