Abstract
Aims: This article aims providing structural, and deeper, answers to the words used in titled, how “The Territorial intelligence process can be considered as necessary Ecology of Communication for development of “hybrid territories” and because in first part, we have been working, researching, for more decades in territorial intelligence field and secondly, because we have seen from the TICs development that territorial organizations in 21st Century are becoming hybrid, a mix made of physical (geographical) territory and digital territory and call for appropriate path to think about their future. Study design, Methodology & Place and Duration of Study: We illustrate our arguments by drawing on five situations of specific PhD research conducted in the interval from 2000 to 2014 throughout E.U in general and in France, in particularly. Reflecting the past six years, (2008-2014), they were fueled from the exercise of two local mandates. Results & Conclusion: All aspects encountered during these years need extracting additional points for consideration in the future. In conclusion, we propose structural elements for a response, and perhaps, for a future program of hybrid territories to be developed with the help of territorial intelligence process because of exposed territory to an insular development potentially breaking their continuum.
Highlights
With this contribution we aim trying to provide structural answers to the question of the first part 1-Can territories be described as intelligent? we will see that it is proceeding with a slow investigation, progressive, complex and based on solidarity, leading to a logical communication part of a process, informational and anthropological, to allow the emergence of a structuring logic included into a comprehensive systems approach

Connecting this formal capital, latent or revealed, is not achieved in all cases and we could not at this stage yet speak of territorial intelligence process because we did not understand the logic of communication process in work that would allow information to give meaning to data exchanged by territorial actors
Summary
With this contribution we aim trying to provide structural answers to the question of the first part 1-Can territories be described as intelligent? we will see that it is proceeding with a slow investigation, progressive, complex and based on solidarity, leading to a logical communication part of a process, informational and anthropological, to allow the emergence of a structuring logic included into a comprehensive systems approach. We will ask for an epistemological and methodological framework outlining research situations for their ability to produce meaning in a search process of actors of a territory to make it intelligent. We ask a few elements for a future research roadmap. We will do it within relation of the proposal for an Ecology of Communication exposed and demonstrated by Abraham Moles (Moles, 1995) in “Structural Theory of Communication & Society” book whom we quote some extracts p.94 and followings: "Ecology Science communication is the relationships and interactions between different species of communications activities within a closed area such as the time available for individual or social group dispersed in such a territory”. “And stress it will be to achieve a description of transactional human activity, knowledge networks and systems.”
