EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT OF EARTH LIFE BE LIFE ON THE COMMON Cinoble CUBIERES
Presentation of submissions for the Regional Council Languedoc - Roussillon
- Under the scheme of regional planning and development framework socialSOMMAIRE PREAMBLE
As part of the desire of the Languedoc-Roussillon to become a laboratory of forms of occupation of space for the XXI century, the Commune of Cubières on Cinoble, represented by Sylvie ROMIEU as Mayor, is a candidate for the bid in hopes of finding support for the project detailed below after.
- indeed the common Cubières committed enable the conduct of an experimental project of a place of life through an eco-village.
- Beyond a group of people that want to create ecological habitats, this place represents an opportunity to comment in view of its originality because it does not only aim to meet the needs first to stay but it is thought as a legal-political experimentation in the art of living in an agricultural land.
- By warmly welcomed by associations specialized in issues of different habitats, by institutions such as Land Links, NEF, the Conseil Général de l'Aude, this project aims to serve the greatest number of its exemplary and therefore, encourage other municipalities in the Languedoc-Roussillon and also other regions to attempt the adventure of a live differently and so through specifications that can serve as basic working and coaching by project stakeholders, make it reproducible.
- It is also intended as a tool of progress that is legitimized what we might call the third way of habitat (habitat ecological participatory, self-built and self-managed) - The audacity is the engine of this major project supported by a community with very limited resources which hopes to encourage other iniatitives the national territory and involvement of representatives of the nation so that the values human can always be defended and should be accompanied by means to pay their respects. Can we therefore hope that a better world is not just a utopia and modernity and innovation nourish the dream of an improved quality of life and shared, and allow us to remain worthy of future generations. Hoping
encourage listening, interest and support for the project Cinoble Life of Earth, we wish you a pleasant discovery of this human adventure which has the merit to exist.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
EARTH LIFE Cinoble
The spirit of the project
This project is defined as a project experimental life.
Nature of Project:
Create and animate a place to generate proposals that would address the current problems such as: Housing
Ecology
Economic Integration
Social ties.
Objective:
Creating economic, cultural and social friendly environment allowing the retention or return to self:
Food
Financial
Energy
By waking up and exercising the creative forces of the inhabitants of Earth Life of Cinoble.
Means:
A comprehensive approach to the achievement of the individual within an eco-village group in the service of a collective - Maslow's Pyramid -
(Living Together - Working Together - To achieve together in one direction, creation and emergence Commons)
remunerations activities: home, organization of workshops, training and cultural activities, sales of handicrafts, agricultural and cultural
Establishing collective tools to practice the craft activities, transformation, cultural ...
Establishment of an experimental center for observation, research, experimentation, education and training, development and dissemination of economic solutions, ecological and social (housing, food, energy, community infrastructure, mixed international-inter-generational and inter-cultural)
Creating a steering committee to ensure the feasibility of the project, a force of proposals, enrich the visions by external inputs, avoiding all excesses and ensure diversity recommended in a constantly evolving synonymous with innovation.
Why the name "pilot project"
The term "pilot project" is related to the fact that the configuration to date is unique nationally. The partnership was born around this project, can work by the various actors around the same sensitivity:
I NNOVATION in an art of living together that takes into account contemporary requirements both social, ecological, economic and legal .
- On a human scale development content, it will allow close observation and will be studied by various agencies and organizations. Usually such projects are more easily carried by common sizes more consistent, the challenge is even more interesting than the Common Cubières on Cinoble, 101 inhabitants no social housing, very few means at its disposal, must demonstrate creativity and dynamism.
- The new home of the project is not for the occupants but to the Land of Earth Links accepting for the first time in its history
to experience a land purchase for non-use agriculture but to allow the establishment of an eco-habitat.
The Land of Earth links sign a long lease with the City and leased to the association "Living Together".
NEF partner of the Land Earth Links perceives the shares of investors wishing to support the project. To date about 75% of purchase amount is covered by the financial support of the people involved directly or indirectly in the project. The remaining 25% will be covered by the usual principle of the Land of Earth links through solidarity savings.
- Partners - a political and general interest - What political issues?
Aude annually attracts people whose profile is synonymous with insecurity. Social actors and politicians are often overwhelmed by the situation specific to the department. Through this experimental facility, it becomes possible to integrate habitat objectives of social and professional integration. However it is important that local people do not feel threatened by an uncontrolled flow. It is therefore essential that there be positive and constructive interactions with the host village. The development of the agro-tourism and the emergence of "new trades organic factors are integrated carriers. This can be economically revitalize the village and further exploit the natural resources, enhance human skills at the service of a common cause: to live in harmony together.
PLACE
Location: in the hamlet of Cinoble 400mètres at the center of the village, commune Cubières on Cinoble in mountain not flood in the Upper Aude Valley, the Release Gorges Galamus.
45 minutes from Perpignan airport, 1 hour from the railway station and bus station in Perpignan and Carcassonne 1hr.
- Area: 3.6 ha of farmland (wild or uncultivated heathland and arable land) along the RD 14.
- Water Resources: Creek along the ground, rainwater collection, delivery according to an irrigation canal, drinking water catchment 200m.
- greywater treatment ponds planted by station or phytoremediation
- Energy: electric pole at 300m. Renewables (wind, photovoltaic and various tests such as microturbine and biodigestère). Wood heating.
- Strengths: field only been on sale for the project - water on the ground - near the center of the village - east side - facing south-east - fertile land - high biodiversity - part nature and exceptional view - located on a scenic route (Cathar trails, visits castles, sites to visit Gorges Galamus ...) Strong potential for tourism development. Everything is created. Pilot project. Local and national partners (Institutions and Associations)
- Weaknesses: Low population density - no shops - not schools - Resistors local populations in relation to marginal or distressed - small percentage of the workforce% - a major innovation project that is to say need to change attitudes, the legal status for the settlements of "eco-habitats self-constructed, "No national initiative known when to refer.
THE COMPACT - ECO-DENSITY / Theme 2
To respect the existing balance (101 inhabitants per year), it is important that the number of habitats is gradual and takes account of the whole project since the gardens are integrated to provide the necessary foodstuffs produced for the occupants.
Eco-hamlet must accommodate 20 to 25 year , which may correspond to 15 habitat-permanent residents.
- To meet the economic and tourist sectors "of persons crossing, we expect 5-6 habitats.
A weighting is applied because of the presence of activities and facilities, natural areas and agricultural areas of significant size within the project boundary
At these buildings for residential use are in addition to collective places such as kitchen, bathroom, space for toilets, laundry.
- For activities:
The laboratory for food processing,
place of food storage,
the granary,
the dryer for fruits, vegetables and cereals ; Seed
a mechanical workshop, a hobby shop and a wood shed,
a meeting room and reception of socio-cultural
information center and secretarial ,
the point of sale "the store peasant"
HABITATS INDIVIDUAL
habitats with low environmental impact.
Small building bio-climatic:
frame wood, straw and earth walls and earth / lime.
low energy consumption per stove or wood boiler.
Self-construction can meet the standards.
Yurts: The yurt is part of UNESCO World Heritage.
It has many advantages such as:
its strength and lightness,
ingenuity through its modulation capabilities,
mobility,
its environmental impact close to zero (use of local materials, floor on stilts),
its low cost makes it possible to purchase a wide audience,
ease of construction.
His comfort in winter by burning wood appropriate.
- The living space will range from 35m ² to 60m ² depending on the needs and number of occupants. These surfaces may seem insufficient in view of the normal housing area called classical, though the emphasis is on the provision of local collective use of quality and sometimes not available in a single design.
HABITATS COLLECTIVE
The bathroom bioclimatic.
It will be equipped with a solar hot water tank and a wood boiler.
It will include showers, bathtubs for small children and a tub for adults.
A sauna is also available and a dedicated space for massage and relaxation.
The beauty and quality materials will be considered with interest and requirement.
The laundry.
Equipped with washing machine business, the strength of household appliances meets the requirements of environmental standards and energy saving. This type of installation is common in buildings in Germany or Switzerland.
The clothes dryer will be installed near a heat source.
space equipped for ironing is also considered.
Dry toilets
Composting toilets meet operation involves no handling of waste. The composting site will be placed in the box on the lower floor. (See map attached). In addition to the local community wooden frames, each group of 4 to 5 habitats will have toilets by area.
MODES OF TRAVEL
Being in a rural area removed, the automobile remains the means of travel privileged. But the lifestyle is so organized that the removals are thoughtful and limited.
For most residents, professional activities take place on the site or in the village, as it is gardening, horticulture and nursery, tree culture, handicrafts, tourist , training, direct sales.
- By setting up this eco-village and its organization for the supply of quality food (organic certification), the impact on the population can become a significant terms of the participation of protecting our environment. Indeed, the public will benefit structures developed to procure bread, vegetables and fruits, eggs and other regional products sold in the store peasant. Travel for "shopping" can be reduced.
- Vehicles parked in the space provided. No movement of automobiles, motorcycles will be allowed on the place of life.
The vehicle fleet will consist of agricultural vehicles, utility vehicles and collection corresponding to the highest standards in global warming. A study is underway on the organization of the provision of vehicles.
- The secretariat will also offer support to others outside service carpooling and using public transport (SNCF - Coaches) to reach the site.
- Some travel within the village can be done on foot, by bicycle.
- For children and adolescents, a school bus is organized by the General Council every day. (Teaching kindergarten through college at 10 km the town of St Paul Fenouillet, teaching high school in Perpignan or in Limoux)
MIXED SOCIAL
order that the place is not related to a marginal ghetto account -Given the profile of habitats and the dynamics of experimental project that aims, the number of social rented housing will be a maximum of 4.
- however it is important to understand that some people who occupy other types of housing could meet the conditions for obtaining housing because of their characteristics.
- The specificity of these people is that they build their own eco-habitats or may appeal to an eco-builder based on their financial means.
- The social mix is not limited only to the criteria of access to housing but also to the different paths each, the social, professional, cultural and geographical origin.
- This project is in its center the "living together on earth."
residents of eco-hamlet must show a real interest in ecology practice (respect for all life forms and environment) and must either be integrated into their daily or strong desire to educate gestures protectors of our environment.
- Candidates on social housing will be handled by the municipality and the association "living together" co-manager of the place from a specification previously established and evolving.
- Given the legal structure detailed in the overview of the overall project, none of the local people will own the land, however it will guarantee able to occupy their habitat safe provided you follow the rules of collective life defined beforehand.
CONCLUSION
These pages are intended to arouse curiosity and attention.
- It is just time to defend the habitat for all, it is time that this becomes a reality.
- Every good will is important, it's the little rivers that make great rivers.
Without any claim if it is to bring this project to its completion and to make Him known, sharing the journey of this new experience is necessary today. Communicate information simply.
- To all those aware of this integrated vision of Habitat is pleased to share this adventure, criteria for a high level of requirements are posed. Excellence in the heart of simplicity and efficiency is a vision and continuing research.
- Also those wishing to join this project must be prepared to engage in experimentation common living trading both internal and external (villagers, tourists, academics, journalists, elected ...). They must be either autonomous or aim to become one. They must have a desire and ability to live in community (sense of responsibility, emotional maturity and behavioral rules of common life, open communication ...).
- The plans attached annexes will convince the innovative and attractive project and its seriousness.
- All information will be made to enable understanding or deepening.
APPENDICES History Project
Christine Louise BEX, of Belgian origin, living in France since 1990, Physical Therapist training and profession, trained in health practices overall, is behind the project.
It is very sensitive to the early integration of humans and their environment. Headquartered in a yurt in the Drôme, where she teaches Chi-kong, she saw the ordeal of a devastating fire in November 1999. This event will be the trigger of this long journey of ten years and this desire to please put on earth a set of mobile homes around human values such as solidarity, sharing and respect.Tout his career was an opportunity to an individual vision of the habitat in a yurt in a collective vision, born as the dream of "a village of yurts.
- A first experience Galez (Hautes Pyrenees) is tried for 2 ½ years.
A landowner is seduced by the idea and offers 4 acres to accommodate 12 yurts which 9 will be a destination for personal or family housing (5 children and 7 adults) and 3 have a collective destination. By the presence of an existing building, a laundry, shower, computer room and workshops to build yurts available. Composting toilets are installed. Many outsiders have come to build their yurts - fifty - by sharing and transmitting know-how and the provision of specialized equipment. This experiment had to be interrupted for the following reasons: absence of water on the ground who did not grow and meet minimum requirements of a group owner could no longer cope with the administrative responsibilities that give rise to a situation non-compliant and therefore illegal. To his great regret, he asked the occupants to leave.
- A second experiment was tried for a year in St. Louis and Parahou (Aude): the landowner had an eco-village around the equestrian and horse breeding. Traversed by a brook, an activity garden started and two yurts for public use have been mounted, no resident has been remained. Four adults and a child around the project occupied habitat in the village.
Many people were concerned, many were discouraged or were not able to meet the demands of preparing for a life collectively.
This project has been possible, the mayor requested the removal of yurts, the town can not support the project eco-habitat for lack of information and fear of moving a group of marginal and mostly due to poor communication on both sides.
- Of these two attempts have been drawn the following conclusions:
Need a land where access to water is easy
importance that the project is supported by a Mayor and his team, that local people are informed and involved if she wishes.
need that land does not belong to an individual who makes precarious habitat according to the relationships established
need to surround himself with expertise in various fields so as not to settle in the illegality and so out of shape de marginalisation.
Nécessité de pouvoir créer des jardins collectifs et privés.
Importance de travailler la cohésion du groupe et une vision convergente, de mettre l’accent sur des efforts d’harmonisation humaine,
Prise de conscience de la nécessité de s’engager totalement et d’apporter sa contribution tant sur le plan humain que sur le plan matériel,
Importance de l’autonomie.
- Ce projet ne pouvant voir le jour que par l’accueil favorable pour la globalité du projet par une mairie, une meeting with the Mayor of Cubières, Sylvie ROMIEU, is scheduled for April 2008.
In August 2008, Ms. BEX finds himself alone in supporting the project, others involved in the project make other choices.
- Accompaniment by a consulting firm is initiated.
A first draft project, following this initial meeting, presented to all elected officials.
The City Council agrees to support this project.
The search for land intensifies.
A partir de l’engagement de la commune,
une habitante du village s’engage à vendre un terrain pour permettre la réalisation du projet etla Foncière Terres de Liens accepte d’étudier le projet alors qu’elle n’a pas vocation à soutenir des projets collectifs autre que pour une activité agricole.
En mars 2009, le projet est présenté au Conseil Général (Couiza) en présence de Madame Sylvie ROMIEU.
La signature d’un compromis de vente entre La Foncière Terre de Liens et la propriétaire, prévue le 7 avril 2009, a eu lieu le 30 juin 2009. L’achat sera finalisé en novembre 2009.
PRESENTATION DE QUELQUES CANDIDATS
En avril 2009, un jeune homme de 27 ans, Vivien AUTISSIER rejoint le projet.
Actuellement au RSA, il suit une formation de jeune agriculteur et souhaite s’insérer dans ce projet en retrouvant une autonomie par une activité de paysan-boulanger. Pour réussir son intégration dans le village, il habite depuis quelques mois sur la commune de Cubières.
En juillet 2009, Pascal BOISSON âgé de 50 ans et père de 4 enfants, a une riche expérience dans le rénovation et la construction de maisons avec des matériaux écologiques comme le bois, la chaux et pierres taillées par lui-même. Il créait des jardins avec la mise en place de vergers, potager en culture biologique. Suite à de graves problèmes de santé, il ne peut plus assumer un emploi dans des conditions normales, bénéficiant du RSA, il est dans l’attente d’une réponse pour invalidité. Il occupe aussi une maison de village à Cubières avec sa fille de 14 ans arrivée nouvellement et suivant sa scolarité au collège de St Paul le Fenouillet.
D’autres personnes d’horizons aussi divers qu’un professeur de musique belge de 66 ans à la retraite, une rédactrice en chef d’un magazine pour jeunes, un maraîcher bio en activité sont en attente de pouvoir intégrer ce lieu de vie.
Présentation du Projet de Cubière par la Maire Sylvie Romieu à « Ecohabiter-Diois-Vallée de la Drôme » les 2 et 3 octobre 2010 à Eurre-26400, organisé par les 2 CLD Diois et Vallée de la Drôme et Ecologie au quotidien avec 400 personnes présentes.
