Two steps have been applied to assess the use of greenway concept in Tunisia and especially in Sousse city. The first one shows Tunisian administrative documents recount and the second one explains the spatial distribution of Sousse city greenways using GIS software. The examination of the planning of the green spaces in Tunisia, either through the documents of town planning or through the specific programs, allowed us to reveal the place of this notion in the Tunisian political speech and to conclude that the notion of greenways and its foundations, is missing in the documents of town planning, in the Tunisian environmental policy (Green Plan of Grand Sousse) even if the use of the term "greenways" is not really explicit. Then, it is our belief that there is a great potential in Tunisia for the adoption of greenways as a planning alternative, and tools such as the GIS environment can contribute significantly to this effort. Keywords: GIS, Green space, Greenways, Urban landscape Introduction idea are more than 100 years old. They can be found in the blue line concept that defined the To introduce this notion, literature treating Adirondack Park Region, in metropolitan open greenways is showed in three sections about its space systems that were designed and general functions such as linearity, spatial scale, implemented in a number of US cities in the multifunctionality and sustainability. latter decades on the nineteenth and the early decades of the twentieth centuries, to a lesser Far from being a neologism, the notion of extent in the greenbelt concept advanced by greenways decades from hundred years. It was Ebenezer Howard in 1898, in the adaptation of similar to the vision developed by the landscape the Adirondack Park concept to contemporary architect Frederick Law Olmsted (1822- landscape protection programs, and in a number 1903),as being avenues, walks or greenways of linear units of the National Park System that and defined as " a network of linear spaces were established in the 1930s (Newton, 1971; which is conceived, planned and managed in Heckscher, 1977). In addition, the so-called various purposes: ecological, entertaining, green line concept that emerged in the 1970s cultural, esthetic or any other compatible contributed to this evolution, as did awareness objective with the notion of long-lasting of the development and land ownership patterns sustainable use of the territory ". It is the first in English and Welsh national parks and the definition of the term based on a linear concept. creation of the Scenic Rivers, Scenic and However, the historical roots of the greenway Recreational Trails programs by the US Bousemma, et al., / IJEGEO 5(1):36-50 (2018) Congress in the 1960s.

Other human uses of the landscape are recognized and legitimized, and a balance The second definition of greenway is based on between resource use and protection is spatial scale; more greenways have been attempted. Sustainability should be regarded as developed to link together on different scales to a special globally accepted goal and paradigm form local and regional networks.

Historical Places Information 1. Sausse Old Town Sousse or Soussa is a city in Tunisia, capital of the Sousse Governorate. Located 140 kilometres (87 miles) south of the capital Tunis, the city has 271,428 inhabitants (2014). Sousse is in the central-east of the country, on the Gulf of Hammamet, which is a part of the Mediterranean Sea. The name may be of Berber origin: similar names are found in Libya and in the south of Morocco (Bilād al-Sūs). Its economy is based on transport equipment, processed food, olive oil, textiles and tourism. The city allied itself with Rome during the Punic Wars, thereby escaping damage or ruin and entered a relatively peaceful 700-year period under the Pax Romana. Livy wrote that Hadrumetum was the landing place of the Roman army under Scipio Africanus in the second Punic War. Roman usurper Clodius Albinus was born in Hadrumetum. 2. Sousse Archelogical Museum The museum is housed in the Kasbah of the City's Medina which was founded in the 11th century AD. The museum was established in 1951. It reopened its doors to the public in 2012 after the collections were rearranged and the building restored.

  • Carthage Was the Center Or Capital City of the Ancient Carthaginian
    Carthage was the center or capital city of the ancient Carthaginian civilization, on the eastern side of the Lake of Tunis in what is now the Tunis Governorate in Tunisia. Carthage was widely considered the most important trading hub of the Ancient Mediterranean and was arguably one of the most affluent cities of the Ancient World. The city developed from a Phoenician colony into the capital of a Punic empire which dominated large parts of the Southwest Mediterranean during the first millennium BC. The legendary Queen Dido is regarded as the founder of the city, though her historicity has been questioned. The ancient Carthage city was destroyed by the Roman Republic in the Third Punic War in 146 BC and then re-developed as Roman Carthage, which became the major city of the Roman Empire in the province of Africa. The city was sacked and destroyed by Umayyad forces after the Battle of Carthage in 698 to prevent it from being reconquered by the Byzantine Empire. It remained occupied during the Muslim period and was used as a fort by the Muslims until the Hafsid period when it was taken by the Crusaders with its inhabitants massacred during the Eighth Crusade. Catheral of St. Vincent de Paul: is a Roman Catholic church located in Tunis, Tunisia. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charity. It is the episcopal see of the Archdiocese of Tunis and is situated at Place de l'Indépendence in Ville Nouvelle, a crossroads between Avenue Habib Bourguiba and Avenue de France, opposite the French embassy.
