Abstract EN:
Greek thrace constitues the less developed province in greece nowdays. This region was formed by political decisions since the very first decades of this century, fact which has implied important population' movings. A big hydraulic project has changed the socio-economical profile of evros' department (one of the three departments of thrace) since'70. This project has proveked a considerable agricultural development for an impotant part of the department, but not for the whole territory. Consequently, this project has revealed at the same time importants socio-economicals regional differenes between the irrigated and the dry zone, where (in this second case) the population's immigration has been massif. Despite the fact that this project has still been evoluig in our days, its resultats are not as positifs as they were during the first years of its application. Three villages was been chosen and studied, one in each zone (the non-irrigated zone, the "early" irrigated and the "late" irrigated one) in order to show out their rurals societies' evolutions during the lasts decades.
Abstract FR:
La thrace grecque, une region formee par des decisions politiques des premieres decennies du siecle, ce qui a signifie des deplacements des populations importants, constitue aujourd'hui pour la grece la province la moins developpee du pays. Depuis les annees soixante dix un grand projet hydraulique change le profil socio-economique du departement d'evros (un des trois departements de la thrace) et provoque un developpement agricole considerable pour une partie importante du departement. Mais, n'ayant pas concerne l'ensemble du territoire, le projet devient en meme temps le revelateur des differenciations socio-economiques regionales importantes, en distinguant la zone irriguee par la zone seche, dont la population emigre massivement. Le projet hydraulique est en evolution jusqu'a nos jours, mais les resultats ne sont pas aussi positifs que dans les premieres annees de son application. Trois communes, une par chaque zone (la zone irriguee, la zone "tot" irriguee et la zone "tard" irriguee) sont choisit et etudiees pour demontrer les evolutions des societes rurales au cours de ces dernieres decennies.
