Issues explored included the carers' experiences of caring, and the effects of rural life on this, Through content analysis of the data, it was found that these carers faced many challenges but were also able to access a number of supports, particularly in terms of family and the local community.

Caring for someone with dementia in a rural town .2. Services

Dementia care in rural areas is in need of attention from researchers, planners and policy makers. Family carers in these areas face some significant challenges, in terms of managing the care where support services are often unavailable or inaccessible. This paper reports on a qualitative study in which a group of rural based carers participated in a focus group and interviews. Through this process, the carers' perceptions of support services were explored. Content analysis of the data revealed that, despite a number of supportive aspects of rural life, these carers felt in need of more services, a finding supported by current literature.

Territorial assemblages and Governance : The example of the Taonaba project [Town of Abymes, Guadeloupe]

This article reports on an action research to support the urban community of Cap Excellence in Guadaloupe in its local sustainable development project. After summarizing the terms of the debate around sustainable development, and presenting the region, the search will be put back into the context of a more general approach of territorial* intelligence (TI). The limits of a local Agenda 21 in the form of a 'programmed action plan' is the chance to enhance the concept of TI with that of territorial assemblage. Our study area is the natural reserve of the Grand Cul-de-Sac Marin of Guadeloupe, the second largest biosphere reserve designated by UNESCO in the archipelago of the Petites Antilles, more specifically the implementation of the Taonaba project, whose goal is to launch an ecotourism visitors' centre, operational at the end of 2012. Based on the analysis of a large amount of data, the article describes an evaluation tool for territorial assemblages for participative territorial governance. Our results were presented to local government officials in the Urban Sustainable Development Forum, which our group organised from 2 to 4 April 2012, in the district of Abymes/Pointe-à-Pitre
