Dans le Sud du Bénin, le lotissement, une des formes d’aménagement les plus utilisées actuellement, se multiplie jusqu’à atteindre de plus en plus les zones rurales. A cet effet, il impacte sur les activités agricoles et exerce une influence considérable sur le changement de la dynamique d’occupation du sol au détriment notamment des usages agricoles et de leur fonction de ressources alimentaires et paysagères.

La population du Sahara algérien continue, depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, à s’accroître plus rapidement que celle de l’Algérie du Nord. Plus d’un Algérien sur dix vit actuellement au Sahara, contre un sur quinze à la veille de l’Indépendance. Cette population est de plus en plus citadine et les villes importantes ne sont plus rares aujourd’hui au Sahara.

Aujourd’hui, la périurbanisation est reconnue comme un phénomène mondial animée par différents déterminants (poussée démographique, développement industriel, crise de la ruralité, etc.). En effet, les territoires périurbains sont des espaces qui reçoivent l’excédent de la croissance démographique urbaine et qui accueillent les nouveaux projets d’aménagement et de développement (promotions immobilières, implantations de zones d’activités diverses, développement des réseaux de communication, maintien ou développement de certaines agricultures, etc.).

To Evaluate Future Wetland Degradation At Wami Ruvu River Basin From 2020 To 2050 Using Remote Sensing Imagery And Hybrid Ca- Markov Model

This article engages in a comprehensive examination of the intricate dynamics surrounding urban sprawl and land utilization within the peri-urban regions of significant Algerian municipalities, with a specific focus on the city of Oran. 

Employing a methodology rooted in social geography, this study deploys a trio of investigative approaches: documentary analysis, spatio-temporal scrutiny of peri-urban domains, and in-situ field investigations to shed light on the intricate intricacies of land ownership dynamics in the context of urban sprawl.

Urban planners are entrusted with the power to make critically important, long-term decisions that determine the future development of cities and towns around the world. The decisions they take shape the urban environment and directly affect the lives and livelihoods of entire communities.

Informal Land Subdivisions And Their Effects On Spatial Development In Peri Urban Areas:The Case Of Kichangani Suward In Kigamboni Municipality, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania

Context and backgroundUnsustainable land management practices result in land degradation that threatens the environment and stifles livelihoods. Africa remains exposed to threats such as natural resource degradation and poverty due to various reasons that include: changing demographics, urbanization, mining, fragile natural resources and ecosystems, increased soil erosion and land degradation, low yields and high post-harvest yield losses.

Context and backgroundThe land is a finite resource for which competition is intensifying due to rapid urbanization, population growth, economic necessities... In Morocco, the land is increasingly seen as an obstacle and a major constraint on several levels. . In the industrial sector, the land is an essential lever for investment. In this context, we can cite the issue of the management of industrial zones, which remains a global dilemma. It also raises the issue of the place of the State concerning the private sector in the development, planning, marketing, and management of areas.

African cities are characterized by urbanization, social and economic problems that very often favor crises in the development of their spaces. The city of Bouake, in the center of Côte d'Ivoire, has been experiencing urban sprawl since 1980. This urban sprawl is the result of shortcomings in urban land governance in Côte d'Ivoire following several land reforms. This study analyzes the successions of urban land reforms poorly suited to population growth and a difficult economic context in Bouake.
