Abstract

[fre] Quelle est l'efficacité sociale de la réglementation concernant le ramassage de l'Hélix pomatia ? L'enquête ethnographique réalisée auprès d'« adeptes » de cette activité nous invite tout d'abord à réfléchir sur le bien-fondé de cette réglementation. Celle-ci ne saurait être efficace et légitime que dans la mesure où elle parvient à enrayer le problème posé à savoir la raréfaction de l'espèce. Or, dans le cas précis de \' Helix pomatia, le ramassage n'est qu'un facteur parmi d'autres de la diminution de la population de gastéropodes. La dégradation des milieux favorables à cette espèce y contribue également. Les effets induits par le ramassage sur la population de gastéropodes semblent d'autant plus limités que cette activité est l'apanage d'une minorité. Les contraintes et les représentations associées à la préparation sont telles, qu'elles dissuadent bon nombre de personnes de s'y livrer. Mais le non respect de la réglementation par une frange importante des ramasseurs tient également à l'existence d'un certain nombre de pratiques et d'habitudes culturelles, non prises en compte par l'arrêté de 1979. [eng] The social efficacity of a regulation : the case of collecting Helix pomatia . What is the social efficacity of regulation about collecting Helix pomatia, anedible snail? An ethnographic survey of amateurs of this practice led us to consider the validity of this regulation. This regulation would be effective and legitimate only if it is able to solve the problem : the rarefaction of breed. Now, in the special case of Helix pomatia; the collecting is only one factor among others to explain decrease in numbers of snails. The degradation of favourable habitats also contribute to decreased populations. The effect induced by collecting the snail population seems the more reduced that this practice is limited to a minority. Constraints and representations linked with culinary preparation become so important that they dissuade many people to do it But the non-respect of rules by many collectors also depend upon some practices and cultural uses, not taken into account in the 1979 regulation.
