Extract

Au terme d’une loi que vient de voter le Parlement, un nombre appréciable de communes seront rayées définitivement de la carte de Belgique le ler janvier 1977, fusionnées qu’elles seront alors avec une ou plusieurs communes voisines. I1 faut remarquer, à ce propos, qu’au recensement de 1970, on comptait dans le pays, sur 2379 communes, 479 communes de moins de 500 habitants et 952 communes de moins de 1.000 habitants. Pour prendre deux exemples particulièrement frappants de la manière dont le territoire est fragmenté en un nombre important de petites communes très peu peuplées, intéressons-nous, un instant, au cas des provinces de Namur et du Luxembourg. Dans la première, sur 345 communes, 259 ont moins de 1.000 habitants, tandis que sur les 229 que compte la seconde, on en relève 174 de moins de 1.000 habitants. Souvent, pour justifier le processus de fusion, on a mis en évidence les économies d’échelle qu’il serait possible de réaliser.
