Received 2006 May 15; in original form 2005 September 15 SUMMARY The 1994 M w 6.0 and 2004 M w 6.5 Al Hoceima earthquakes are the largest to have occurred in Morocco for 100 yr, and give valuable insight into the poorly understood tectonics of the area. Bodywave modelling indicates the earthquakes occurred on near-vertical, strike-slip faults with the nodal planes oriented NW–SE and NE–SW. Distinguishing between the primary fault plane and auxiliary planes, using either geodetic or seismic data, is difficult due to the spatial symmetry in deformation fields and radiation pattern of moderately sized, buried, strike- slip earthquakes. Preliminary studies, using aftershock locations and surface observations, have been unable to identify the orientation of the primary fault plane for either earthquake conclusively. We use radar interferometry and aftershock relocation of the earthquake sequence to resolve the ambiguity. For the 2004 earthquake, inverting the interferograms for a uniform slip model based either of the two potential nodal planes results in similar misfits to the data.

The objective of this article is to extend the discussion on regional disparities, by focusing on the socio-economic dimensions, we have opted for unidimensional statistical approaches by highlighting the distribution and dispersion of a set of socio-economic indicators covering education and employment, health, housing conditions and poverty and living standards; and multidimensional techniques that allowed us to design a synthetic regional development indicator, classify the regions according to the level of development, highlight the gaps and finally draw a development map in Morocco.

  • Chapitre VI La Ville Et Ses Équipements Collectifs
    Chapitre VI La ville et ses équipements collectifs Introduction L'intérêt accordé à la connaissance du milieu urbain et de ses équipements collectifs suscite un intérêt croissant, en raison de l’urbanisation accélérée que connaît le pays, et de son effet sur les équipements et les dysfonctionnements liés à la répartition des infrastructures. Pour résorber ce déséquilibre et assurer la satisfaction des besoins, le développement d'un réseau d'équipements collectifs appropriés s'impose. Tant que ce déséquilibre persiste, le problème de la marginalisation sociale, qui s’intensifie avec le chômage et la pauvreté va continuer à se poser La politique des équipements collectifs doit donc occuper une place centrale dans la stratégie de développement, particulièrement dans le cadre de l’aménagement du territoire. La distribution spatiale de la population et par conséquent des activités économiques, est certes liée aux conditions naturelles, difficiles à modifier. Néanmoins, l'aménagement de l'espace par le biais d'une politique active peut constituer un outil efficace pour mettre en place des conditions favorables à la réduction des disparités. Cette politique requiert des informations fiables à un niveau fin sur l'espace à aménager. La présente étude se réfère à la Base de données communales en milieu urbain (BA.DO.C) de 1997, élaborée par la Direction de la Statistique et concerne le niveau géographique le plus fin à savoir les communes urbaines, qui constituent l'élément de base de la décentralisation et le cadre d'application de la démocratie locale. Au recensement de 1982, était considéré comme espace urbain toute agglomération ayant un minimum de 1 500 habitants et qui présentait au moins quatre des sept conditions énumérées en infra1.

Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. In Morocco, Leishmania infantum species is the main causative agents of visceral leishmaniasis (VL). However, cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) due to L. infantum has been reported sporadically. Moreover, the recent geographical expansion of L. infantum in the Mediterranean subregion leads us to suggest whether the nonsporadic cases of CL due to this species are present. In this context, this review is written to establish a retrospective study of cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis in northern Morocco between 1997 and 2018 and also to conduct a molecular study to identify the circulating species responsible for the recent cases of leishmaniases in this region.

N. El Mekadem*, B. El Moutchou Dpt. Geology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Abdelelmalek Essaadi, 93000 Tetuan, Morocco Received 14 Dec 2015, Revised 01 May 2016, Accepted 05 May 2016 *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] (N. El Mekadem); phone: (+212)670771366 Abstract The study area is situated to the South-West of the Rif’s domain (NW Morocco). It presents all characteristics of a coastal river basin, formed essentially by the low lands of the alluvial plain of the Loukkos River, and surrounded by relatively low, essentially marly hills and long sandy beaches. The evolution of the mentioned coastal area and its continental shelf is relatively complex and it depends mostly on its geodynamic context. The goal of the present study is to materialize the relationship between the mentioned continental shelf and its hinterland in the region of Larache. The applied methodology was the morphostructural analysis of the envelope surface in order to bring out the original geomorphological structures and slope failures axes. The overall results allowed us to develop a synthetic structural schema. The structural continuity from hinterland to continental shelf in the area. Keywords: Morphostructural analysis, structural continuity, hinterland, continental shelf, structural schema. 1. Introduction Since the sixties, the northwestern of Morocco has been the subject of several studies such hydrological, soil, tectonic and geophysical among others. Nevertheless, the morphostructural analyses have been only focused on hinterland areas in spite of the economic importance of continental shelf.

In particular, the Kingdom of Morocco experienced several interruptions of the road network during previous floods. In this sense, paper presents a new method for estimating the exposure’s degree of the road infrastructure to the risk of flooding. This method has been applied to the province of Larache. Based on the flood history, a model is developed to define areas exposed to flood hazard and deduce the exposure’s degree of each road to floods. Several results are obtained allowing a detailed mapping of flood risk in the province of Larache. Keywords: Flood hazard; Road network; Exposure; Larache; Mapping INTRODUCTION of exposure: high or moderate. While [13] derives the flood risk map from the geographical representation of the estimated water Flooding is a natural phenomenon that affects a portion of depth, and defines three levels of flood exposure: low, moderate the territory and creates risk for installations and humans [1].
