The Information Society White Book of Corsica Corsica, France SYNTHESIS The Information Society White Book of Corsica Corsica, France SYNTHESIS The Information Society White Book was a participative project led by the Corsican regional authorities. The project, which lasted several months, was part of an overall strategy aimed at developing an information society in Corsica. The region, the state and the European Union (EU) have been making substantial contributions to developing information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructures in Corsica. In spite of such improvement, Corsica suffers from a lower diffusion of new technologies. In particular, only 78% of companies use the Internet, while the average in France is 93%. In order to foster the implementation of an information society in Corsica, it was decided to launch a collective reflection that would involve all potential actors and not only experts and policymakers. The White Book was seen as the best means for getting a clear picture of the Corsican actors and for identifying ideas, obstacles and recommendations for the future. The White Book was organised around three main activities: - a kick-off meeting organised in February 2006 in Ajaccio (150 participants); - 14 meetings held from March to May 2006 across the island; - a final meeting organised in Ajaccio in June 2006 with the previous participants from meetings as well as new participants (around 400 participants). From an organisational point of view, the project involved the Mission for Information Technologies in Corsica (MITIC) of the Regional Council of Corsica, and the Secretariat General for Corsican Affairs (SGAC), which is the French State's representative in Corsica. Both the regional authorities and the State authorities in Corsica agreed upon the process and the implementation procedures of the project. In terms of results, the project enabled: - the identification of regional actors and projects related to ICT; - the networking of regional actors working in the ICT sector or using ICT in their daily activities; - the identification of barriers and opportunities for the implementation of an information society; - the definition of proposals for helping the setting-up an information society. In terms of lessons, the project testifies that the involvement of Corsican stakeholders in a collective effort to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the island and to identify the opportunities for the future is a worthy endeavour. This was particularly the case as the stakeholder's proposal were taken into account by policy makers in defining th regional information society strategy. Corsica suffers from a negative image, as it is often described as an island closed in on itself with inhabitants not being enough open to each other or to the rest of the world. The White Book gave a different picture of Corsica that is to say an island with economic actors for whom the information society is already a reality. The project gave the opportunity to some of these actors to be identified and to voice their needs and views regarding the information society. Given the particularities of the 1 Corsican situation, one can state that the project was a success both in terms of involvement of a wide range of economic and social actors; and in terms of the leverage effect it has had on public and private funds in favour of the Information Society. Background information Country: France Region: Corsica Project title: The Information Society White Book of Corsica Key words: information society: ICT access, e-inclusion; territorial dimension of regional development: remote, rural, coastal areas and islands Duration of project: February 2006 – June 2006 Funding: Total budget €150,000 ERDF contribution €112,500 Regional budget €37,500 ERDF Objective: Objective 1 2 1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The overall objective of this project was to initiate a collective reflection on the development of an information society in Corsica. The goal was to identify the main areas on which the Regional Council of Corsica will concentrate its efforts in the coming years, especially in the context of the State-Region Planning Contract and of the programming of the European Union' Structural Fund interventions for the 2007-2013 period. The Mission for Information Technologies in Corsica (MITIC), which is under the aegis of the region, led the project. The project manager was the director of MITIC. The purpose of the White Book was: - to give the opportunity to internet users and actors to voice their comments and views; - to identify local innovative actions; - to provide the regional actors of the information society with information on Corsican, national and foreign know-how, practices, approaches, innovative policies; - to bring together actors, both institutional and private, and their national counterparts, in order to perform a collective appraisal of current and future operational projects; - to prepare, through a collective process, the strategy that the Territorial Assembly (region legislative body) will have to discuss. The project was organised around the following activities: - in June 2005, the region gave the green light for the launch of the White Book; - in February 2006, a kick-off meeting was organised with about 150 persons; - from March to May 2006, 14 meetings were held (in two waves, one in March and one in May). The objective was to cover the larger part of Corsica and to access each and every sub-territory of the island. In total, the meetings brought together more than 110 participants each time (with approximately half of new participants during the second wave); - in June 2006, a final meeting was organised that brought together past meeting participants as well as new participants. Around 400 persons attended the final meeting; - in November 2006, a first version of the White Book was completed; - in July 2007, the 6th version of the White Book was edited as a book. The results of the projects are strongly related to the regional policy-making process. They correspond to: - the formalisation of a process for identifying the innovative regional actors and projects; - the identification of a method for making proposals concerning the development of a specific sector; - the discovery of a process for identifying, in a collective manner, barriers and opportunities for the economic development of Corsica. From the point of view of the contribution of the European Union, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funding covered the period from February to June 2006. The ERDF contribution was 75% of the total budget (€112,500 out of €150,000). According to the director of MITIC, the request for ERDF funding for this specific project was motivated by the wish to inform the European Commission about the regional efforts 3 toward the development of an information society. At this time, it was a good opportunity to highlight what was achieved. The region provided the rest of the funding. 2. POLITICAL AND STRATEGIC CONTEXTS Corsica is unique among French regions, in many ways: - in geographical terms, Corsica is not a homogenous territory but rather a patchwork of small territories, more or less connected to each other; - as regards economic activity, the service sector is prominent, notably tourism; - in terms of jobs, one-third of the active population is employed by the public sector, which is far higher than the national average; - as regards capital and investment, Corsican enterprises suffer from a lack of capital and are characterised by significant under-investment; - in terms of R&D efforts, public investments are significantly higher than private investments. The region, the national government and the EU have been making substantial efforts to develop the infrastructure of Corsica. To be more specific, during the 1990s, the strategy adopted by the State and the region to sustain economic development was to develop infrastructure, in particular road infrastructure. In recent years, the strategy was to continue to improve the Corsican infrastructure with a focus on the diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) through improved telecommunication infrastructures. It is envisaged that, by the end of 2007, some 90-95% of the Corsican territory will be covered by high-speed Internet services. In spite of improvements in the ICT infrastructure, Corsica suffers in general from a lower diffusion of new technologies. In particular, only 78% of companies use the Internet while the average in France is 93%. Accordingly, in order to foster the development of an information society in Corsica, it was decided to identify the main barriers and the opportunities in the Corsican society and economy. To do so, the decision was taken to initiate a collective reflection that would involve all potential actors and not only experts and policymakers. This gave birth to the White Book for an Information Society. The green light was given on 3 June 2005 after a vote of the Regional Council. 3. IMPLEMENTATION 3.1. Project design and planning The Mission for Information Technologies in Corsica (MITIC)1 was responsible for initiating the White Book for an Information Society of Corsica project. The starting point was the definition of the future strategy of the public actors as regards ICT in Corsica. At this time, the MITIC was at a crossroads. Created in 2004, two years before the launch of the project, the main tasks of the MITIC included support to projects aimed at developing services and uses of ICT in Corsica. 1 http://www.mitic.corse.fr/ 4 For the next period of programming, (2007-2013), the MITIC wanted to reflect upon the focus of public action in favour of ICT in Corsica. To this end, the idea of a collaborative deliberation was discussed. This was preferred to an expert assessment report of the Corsican ICT landscape that would have proposed recommendations for actions. According to the staff of the MITIC, this option, which indeed was not formally taken into account, could have ended up with interesting prospective conclusions.

View More Tours In Provence 13 Desserts Of Noel In Provence An age old tradition in the life of a Provençal family, are enjoyed after Gros Souper, which is equivalent to our Christmas dinner. The origin of the Thirteen Desserts seems to be part of the tradition of opulence in the Mediterranean regions. Combined with the religious element, this tradition gave the Christmas season its festive character well before gifts inundated households. The thirteen desserts are in reference to Jesus and his twelve apostles at the Last Supper. As tradition goes, there must be at least thirteen sweets available. They are all served at once, and each guest must have at least a small bite of each dessert. Upon returning from Mass, the table was set with three tablecloths representing the Holy Trinity, upon which the Thirteen Desserts were set. Based on the symbolism of the Last Supper, with Jesus surrounded by his Apostles, tradition forbids seating 13 people at the dinner table… but the rule doesn’t apply to food! Out of this Provençal tradition, we have ended up with a few mainstays and a thousand and one local adaptations.

This paper aims to describe different aspects of critical care in the FTA. For this, we reviewed official 25 information about population size and intensive care unit (ICU) bed capacity in the FTA and literature on FTA ICU specificities. Persons living in or visiting the FTA are exposed to specific risks, mainly severe road traffic 26 injuries, envenoming, stab or ballistic wounds, and emergent tropical infectious diseases. These diseases may 27 require specific knowledge and critical care management. However, there are not enough ICU beds in the FTA. 28 Indeed, there are 7.2 ICU beds/100 000 population in Guadeloupe, 7.2 in Martinique, and 4.5 in French Gui- 29 ana. In addition, seriously ill patients in remote areas regularly have to be transferred, most often by helicopter, 30 resulting in a delay in admission to intensive care.

  • Corsica and Paris
    Hiking in Corsica and a Visit to Paris, September 2018 Corsica … hmmm … from some friends we received blank stares when Corsica was mentioned as our upcoming hiking destination; from others the name Napoleon tumbled out. Yes, Napoleon Bonaparte was indeed born on the island of Corsica in the city of Ajaccio in 1769. What makes the timing particularly interesting is that France had acquired Corsica from the Italian city-state of Genoa only the year before (1768) … what impact on history, especially the history of France, would there have been if Napoleon had been born an Italian? The island of Corsica sits in the Mediterranean Sea south-east of France’s southern coastline and the city of Nice (it is actually closer to the coastline of Italy than France). At roughly 3,351 square miles in size, it is about 30% smaller than the state of Connecticut. Corsica’s population is approximately 330,000. MTS Trip Day 1 – Arrival in Ajaccio, Corsica: We flew into Corsica’s capital city, Ajaccio, located on its western coast, on a sunny Saturday afternoon (a quick flight from Paris where we had overnighted at an airport hotel to begin the process of adjusting to a local time 8 hours ahead of Denver time). We were met at the airport by Alex, the lead guide of the Mountain Travel Sobek (MTS) hiking trip, Corsica: Hiking the Island of Beauty, scheduled to start that evening. After a short drive, we settled into our seaside hotel before meeting up with the rest of the group for a welcome dinner at a nearby restaurant.

  • Corsica-Sardinia
    Corsica &Sardinia The Essence of Italy and France The Mediterranean is full of unique experiences and cultures, but none compare to a luxury yacht charter through Corsica, France and Sardinia, Italy. The two islands encompass all these two infamous countries have to offer with its own distinctive flavor. Created by violent volcanic eruptions, Corsica boasts the most mountainous region of the Med, and is nicknamed the “scented island” for the intoxicating perfumes that fill the air. Sailors and hikers adore the unparalleled natural wonders of this stunning island, while tourists flock here for the rich history and legendary beaches. Further south is Sardinia – a unique island with its own natural wonders set against wild landscapes, hidden rocky coves, and the much-vaunted Costa Smeralda. But here, past the dazzling beaches, there’s a playground for the wealthy and a flourishing nigh life – which includes the “Polynesia of Italy,” Porto Cervo. Aboard your luxury yacht, there is no better way to experience Corsica’s scenic charm and Sardinia’s authentic style. Calvi, Corsica The first stop on your dream voyage begins in the enchanting port of Calvi – a fun-loving, cobble- stoned village that was once used as a Roman trading post. Often compared to the French Riviera, Calvi’s striking beauty hits you hardest as you glide past the monumental 13th century citadel, which has a breathtaking backdrop of rugged mountains and pine forest. You’ll find plenty of relaxed eateries to indulge and discover along the quai Landry – a lovely seafront walkway. On the south side, you’ll find a separate world of sand and sun.

The islands are particularly vulnerable to changes on water resource. This work aims to study of the impacts climate change on watersheds and rivers, located in Corsica, France. Impacts on biodiversity, human health, agriculture, energy and tourism are studied. Temperature, rainfall, evapotranspiration and stream flow rate have been studied over the past 60 years. Due to the cumulated effects of rising temperatures, reduced precipitation in surnmer and the increasing scarcity of snow in winter, the annual flow of stream water has dropped by 20 to 30 % since the mid-1980s. In summer, there is a 50 decrease. During a hydrological cycle, extreme events (high and low water levels) are more frequent and more widespread. The impact on water resources will be greater, mainly due to rising temperatures and evapotranspiration. The biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems is threatened too by climate change and the proliferation of non­ native species.

  • The Impeded Archipelago of Corsica and Sardinia
    Island Studies Journal, 16(1), 2021, 325-342 The impeded archipelago of Corsica and Sardinia Marcel A. Farinelli Independent researcher [email protected] Abstract: Sardinia (Italy) and Corsica (France) are two islands divided by a strait that is 13 km wide. Their inhabitants have had commercial and cultural links at least since the Bronze Age, facing similar historical processes such as colonization from mainland powers during Middle Ages and a problematic assimilation within the nation-states to which the islands are nowadays associated. Nevertheless, they are generally perceived and analyzed as separate and distant islands. This is a consequence of the geopolitical context of the last three centuries, during which Corsica and Sardinia have become part of two separate states marked by a troubled relationship. This study has two main purposes: explaining the case of the two islands through a historical analysis of the island-to-island relationship between the 17th and 21st Centuries and proposing the concept of ‘impeded archipelago’ to describe analogous situations. Keywords: archipelago, Corsica, islands, island-to-island relationship, nationalism, Sardinia https://doi.org/10.24043/isj.142 • Received August 2020, accepted December 2020 © Island Studies Journal, 2021 Introduction Few scholars have adopted an archipelagic perspective on Corsica (France) and Sardinia (Italy), albeit the strait that divides them (The Strait of Bonifacio) in its narrow point is 13 km wide. Sardinians and Corsicans have had economic and cultural ties at least since the Bronze Age, they experienced colonization from continental powers during Middle Ages and Modern Era, and they shared a problematic integration process in the mainland country to which they are linked with since the 18th and 19th Centuries.

  • Customary Versus Civil Law Within Old Regime France
    Testing Legal Origins Theory within France: Customary Laws versus Roman Code David Le Bris KEDGE Business School 1 October 2014 Comments welcome Abstract: Legal origin theory emphasizes the negative consequences of civil law on financial and, subsequently, economic development. Before the Revolution, French territory was strictly divided according to the legal regime. The southern part of France was under the Roman civil law and the north was under customary laws which, as with common law, gave more flexibility to judges and less right to the state. This dichotomy offers the unique opportunity to test the legal origin theory free from cross- country bias. Using fiscal revenues across 79 Departments from 1817-1821, we test if Departments under civil law, over the centuries and up to 15 years ago, exhibit lower financial and economic outcomes. We find that civil law Departments do exhibit lower economic performances but this difference is not robust when controlled for fundamental factors. The civil law appears even to have a positive effect in many specifications. Old Regime France does not confirm the legal origin theory. Key words: Legal origins theory, Financial Development, Economic development, France. JEL codes: O43, O1, P48, N43. 1 [email protected] 1 Introduction What are the causes of the large differences observed in the living standards across human communities? Legal origin theory (also called law and finance theory) proposes an attractive answer to this fundamental question by focusing on the origin of the legal institutions (La Porta et al., 1997, 1998, 2000, hereafter LLSV). The first part of this theory is that financial development achieved in one country depends on the enforcement of private property rights, support of private contractual arrangements, and protections of the legal right of investors.

  • COMPELLING CORSICA Sea Kayaking & Mountain Hiking in The
    COMPELLING CORSICA Sea Kayaking & Mountain Hiking in the Mediterranean Corsica was recently voted by National Geographic as the 2015 Best New Trips! This adventure is an ideal combination of hiking the spectacular granite mountains of Corsica (including a bit of the legendary GR20) and paddling the azure waters of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Reserve Naturelle de Scandola. This active, hotel-based trip offers superb local cuisine for which the “Isle of Beauty” is famous. Talented bilingual guides help ease all guests into a deep appreciation of “corsitude” as we embrace the authentic McDonalds-free local culture! With the highest rainfall of any island in the Mediterranean, Corsica is also the greenest. It rises dramatically from the sea to peaks over 8800’ (2700 meters) and within this rise are three climate zones. Over 2800 plant species live here and the island’s maquis (a thick and tangled forest of oak, juniper, heather and herb) became the name for the French WWII resistance movement, due to this formidable landscape. Forests of endemic pines along with a host of wildlife call the island home. Food is central to life in Corsica and flavors of the maquis are found in honey, cheeses and grilled meats. Chestnuts (planted by the Genoese several hundred years ago) are central to the flavors of Corsica. Delectable wines, cured meats, fresh seafood and savory cheeses round out the culinary scene. Singing is another joy of Corsica, where ancient polyphony thrives and perhaps more than anywhere in Europe, Corsica has resisted modern pop music to nurture its own rich musical music.
