Description : Mesdames Pébarthe-Désiré et Mondou nous proposent une étude comparative sur les relations entre le développement touristique et l'accessibilité aérienne, sur quatre îles de l'océan indien: la Réunion, l'île Maurice, l'île Rodrigues et les Seychelles. Une recherche qui porte également sur le rôle de la desserte aérienne dans les choix touristiques à travers : la place du tourisme dans l'économie, le rôle des transports aériens et leurs stratégies dans ces îles.

Résumé : La République des Seychelles constitue un archipel formé de quelque 115 petites îles situées dans l’océan Indien, totalisant 455 km² et s’étendant sur 1 200 km. Les trois plus grandes îles intérieures sont Mahé, Praslin et La Digue qui regroupent 95 % de la population. Les îles des Seychelles offrent en raison de leur situation géographique, de leurs particularités climatiques et de l’attractivité de leurs images de destinations touristiques, la possibilité de pratiquer dans des conditions optimales une grande diversité d’activités de tourisme et de sports de nature tout au long de l’année. Les randonnées pédestre et équestre, le VTT, l’escalade, le surf, la plongée, la voile et le canoë-kayak marquent de leurs empreintes cet archipel. L’objectif de cette réflexion est d'identifier la place des activités de sports de nature dans l’offre touristique des Seychelles et de voir dans quelle mesure elles peuvent contribuer au développement durable de l’île, notamment en tissant des relations avec l’activité économique, la structuration du territoire et la construction identitaire. L’enjeu de développement durable est-il pris en compte par les acteurs seychellois dans le domaine touristique ?
The Republic of Seychelles is made of more than 115 small islands in the Indian Ocean, with 455 km2 of land in a stretch of about 1200 km. The three biggest inner islands are Mahe, Praslin, and La Digue, which include about 95% of the population. The Seychelles islands give the possibility in optimal conditions a vast variety of tourism activities and nature sports all year long, due to their geographical situations, their geomorphological configurations, their climate particularities, and their attractive images of touristic destinations. Walking and equestrian trekking, mountain bike, climbing, surfing, diving, yachting, and canoe-kayaking are some activities available in this insular territory. Because of this exceptional potential, the development of “nature” sports is in the (universe) field of leisure and tourism. The objective of this study is to identify what place “nature” sport activities play in the tourism offer in the Seychelles. Don’t they contribute, in the long-term development of the islands by having relations more interactive with the economic activity, the territorial structure, and the identity construction? Is the outcome of long-term development taken seriously by the actors of Seychelles in tourism field?

Résumé : This paper deals with the CIIDAE* collected by the Percy Sladen Trust Expedition to the Indian Ocean under Professor J. Stanley Gardiner, F.R.S., in 1908-9. Twenty species of these beetles were obtained, eighteen in the Seychelles only, one in both the Seychelles and Aldabra, and one exclusively in Aldabra. [NOT CONTROLLED OCR]

Résumé : International audience
Upper mantle anisotropy beneath the African IRIS and Geoscope stations is investigated through the measurements of splitting of teleseismic shear waves such as SKS, SKKS and PKS phases. Seismic anisotropy data are interesting on their own as a measure of upper mantle active or frozen deformation beneath a given station, but each station is of potential interest since it can be used to retrieve source-side seismic anisotropy at remote sites if one is able to perform station-side anisotropy correction. We performed systematic investigations of teleseismic shear wave splitting at 15 stations from the IRIS and Geoscope global seismic networks, which are located on both the oceanic and the continental parts of the African plate. Anisotropy is generally well observed at continental stations. The patterns we present generally show much more complexity than the results previously published from smaller data sets. Despite this complexity, the splitting parameters generally appear in several places to contain a signature of the regional geodynamic setting (rift structures, Archaean craton, Pan-African belt), although a deeper source of anisotropy (asthenospheric) may be present. At the oceanic stations, anisotropy measurements are much more difficult to perform because the signal is generally of poor quality. MSEY, in the Seychelles (Indian ocean), is the exception and displays a clear correlation of the azimuth of the fast split shear wave with the trend of the absolute plate motion, as defined by hotspot tracks.

Résumé : The first fad's in the islands of the South West Indian Ocean were moored in the fifties. The area under study forms part of the Indian Ocean Commission which include Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion and the island of Mayotte. After a few isolated trials that turned to be inconclusive, especially for lack of reliability of the devices moored, trials were pursued under the auspices of International Organizations. A new type of fad was successfully designed and implemented in Mauritius. This model was then applied in the Comoros in 1987, in la Reunion and Madagascar in 1988 and in Mayotte in 1989. The various programmes have had various results. In some cases such as la Reunion and Mauritius, they have played a key role in the development of the inshore fishery. In other cases they have been less significant. Finally in other cases although a significant impact on artisanal fishery, the experience was halted due to financial constraints. Beyond the history of the various programmes and the results obtained, the authors have attempted to underline the social and economic factors that have characterized the various trials in the different regional countries.
