Dynamiques spatio-temporelles des villes secondaires au senegal : les cas de Médina Gounass et de Diaobé en Haute Casamance de 1965 à 2018
L’urbanisation des campagnes africaines pose le problème de l’avenir des paysages agraires situés à la périphérie des villes.

ACCES A LA PROPRIETE FONCIERE ET MISE EN VALEUR DURABLE DES TERRES EN PAYS BAMUM AU CAMEROUN
Le pays Bamum est un territoire de la région de l’Ouest Cameroun fondé au XIVe siècle par le roi Nchare. C’est un royaume où le Sultan est le dépositaire des terres. Les allochtones acquièrent le plus souvent des terres auprès des autochtones pour exploitation. Les autochtones n’ont qu’un droit d’usufruitsur les terre qui leurs sont cédées, mais aucun droit de disposer sur celles-ci. Ainsi, les tentatives d’immatriculation de ces terrains se heurtent très souvent au véto des autochtones du fait qu’ils n’ont pas le droit de sécuriser les terres dans un territoire étranger.
