Une enqu\u00eate men\u00e9e par six journalistes de M\u00e9dor, entre juin 2025 et aujourd’hui, dresse un \u00e9tat des lieux pr\u00e9occupant de la petite voirie en Wallonie : 4 630 km de chemins et sentiers publics sont aujourd’hui entrav\u00e9s ou difficilement praticables, sur les 51 000 km que compte la r\u00e9gion. Barri\u00e8res, panneaux dissuasifs, labours, manque d’entretien communal : les 368 cas d’entrave recens\u00e9s via un appel \u00e0 signalements citoyen illustrent une privatisation progressive de l’espace public, h\u00e9rit\u00e9e en partie des remembrements agricoles du 20\u1d49 si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n

L’article, structur\u00e9 en 10 questions-r\u00e9ponses, \u00e9claire les m\u00e9canismes de ce conflit territorial : les acteurs en pr\u00e9sence (associations de senti\u00e9ristes comme Tous \u00e0 Pied et Chemins de Wallonie, d’un c\u00f4t\u00e9 ; collectifs de propri\u00e9taires et d’agriculteurs comme NTF ou la FWA, de l’autre), les fondements juridiques du statut d’un chemin (Atlas des chemins vicinaux de 1841, d\u00e9crets wallons de 2011 et 2014, prescription trentenaire), la fiabilit\u00e9 compar\u00e9e des outils cartographiques disponibles (IGN, OpenStreetMap, WalOnMap, Chemins de Wallonie), et le r\u00f4le souvent d\u00e9licat des communes, en premi\u00e8re ligne pour arbitrer ces diff\u00e9rends malgr\u00e9 des moyens limit\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

Un dossier utile pour comprendre les enjeux de gestion, de statut juridique et de gouvernance qui p\u00e8sent sur ce patrimoine viaire souvent invisible.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
