| Summary: | More and more frequently, industrial ecology experiments develop on business parks or larger territories. On the one hand, the objective of these approaches is to limit resource use. On the other hand, the aim is also to promote sustainable development models at a territorial scale. Our hypothesis is that success depends primarily on the actors, and their modes of coordination. Thus, governance is essential to understand both the conditions of implementation and the sustainability of these experiments. To analyze governance patterns, we suggest an interpretative framework that aims at understanding the articulation of behavioral variables (actors) and coordination modes (networks of actors) throughout the process. These patterns may appear at the creation of the project ("upstream"), or during the implementation and sustainability of the approach ("downstream"). An application to two French territories is then suggested.
