    COASTAL ESSAOUIRA DEVELOPMENT FAIR TRADE PROJECT. MOROCCO Pedro Fernández Carrasco, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain Nawel Khelil, National school of marine science Algeria, Argelia Rachid Bninha, CCIS Essaouira, Morocco [email protected] The city of Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast of Morocco is actively searching for an important change in its economic model, traditionally based on artisanal fisheries and tourism since the sixties of the past century. The circumstances of Morocco, such as the high dependence of import for energy needs (fuel and gas), low development of infrastructures and population growth, have generated in 2014 the opportunity of cooperation between the Commerce Chamber of Essaouira [1] and the research study group, headed by Professor Dr. Pedro Fernández, from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. A cooperation agreement has been signed on the 15th October 2014. Within this agreement several activities have been implemented. Among them, 5 research projects [2] have been developed during 2015: Study of a New Bus Station Terminal, Creativity Entrepreneur Area (Dermocosmetics industry, agro bio organic market, Renewable Energy, Wood artisanal and Fair Fashion), Viability of Wave Energy Station, Harbor New uses, Offshore Wind Energy Farm. Here it is summarized the outcome of these researches, measured in terms of invest needed and benefits generated, in terms of active participation of people of Essaouira, new activities and companies generated, and profits potentially gained in a short and long term under sustainable and respectful environmental, cultural and social behavior where fair trade, health, person to person business and less is more are the bones and the heart of all proposals. Key words: Fair trade, vegan, health, economy, persons, sea, coasts, less is more.

Il restitue par la description et l’explication du phénomène du nomadisme une vision poétique du monde, une vision en rupture avec les paradigmes à l’œuvre dans l’évolution des sociétés et des communautés humaines. Le nomadisme représente plus qu’une modalité de la résilience face au processus de désenchantement du monde, il exprime la résistance consciente à ce processus. C’est une résistance fondée sur des modes culturels ancestraux, notamment un mode d’exploitation de l’environnement naturel, d’organisation sociale, de production culturelle et un mode de vie et de pensée. L’approche adoptée dans l’ouvrage est à la fois descriptive et interprétative. La description porte sur l’environnement des Ayt Merghad et sur le processus de sédentarisation qui affecte leur mode de vie.

  • Große Exkursion Marokko 2013
    Große Exkursion der Geographischen Gesellschaft München Marokko: Land zwischen Tradition und Moderne Leitung: Prof. Dr. Herbert Popp, Bayreuth (ehemals München) von Samstag, 23. März 2013 bis Samstag, 6. April 2013 Marokko als das sicherlich faszinierendste Land in Nordafrika hat eine lange Geschichte und Tradition: von den Berbern und Römern über das Sultanat und die europäischen Kolonialherren (insbesondere Frankreich von 1912-1956) zur Unabhängigkeit und Neukonstituierung als Königreich. Im Unterschied zu manchen seiner Nachbarn war Marokko in den letzten Jahr- zehnten politisch stabil und wirtschaftlich erfolgreich. Zahlreiche Modernisierungsprozesse haben in dem Land eine leistungsfähige Bewässerungslandwirtschaft, dynamisch expandierende, quirlige Städte und einen sehr vielgestaltigen und aktiven Tourismus entstehen lassen. Zugleich konnte das Land noch zahlreiche Traditionen bewahren, die insbesondere für die europäischen Besucher aufgrund der Photogenität ihrer sichtbaren Ausprägungen eine Art „lebender Orient“ vermitteln. Die Altstädte (Medinen) der „Königsstädte“, die ländlichen Wochenmärkte (Souks) mit ihren farbenfrohen und lebendigen Angeboten, die schnee- und zedernbedeckten Gebirge von Hohem bzw. Mittlerem Atlas mit ihren reizvollen Lehmdörfern und ihrer gastfreundlichen Berberbevölkerung, die Sandwüstenfelder saharischer Prägung und die in sattem Grün erscheinenden Flussoasen südlich des Atlasgebirges (vor allem entlang der sog. „Straße der Kasbahs“) sind nur einige, besondere bekannte Attraktionen, die dieses Land dem

Lesk, Ph.D. and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January, 2010 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Framework for Cultural Heritage Digital Libraries in the Developing World: Access to Non-Textual Information for Non-Literate People in Morocco By HEATHER LEA MOULAISON Dissertation Director: Michael E. Lesk The purpose of this study is to investigate the role that Digital Libraries (DLs) can play in the transmission of information for non-literate people in the developing world. People from oral cultures are well-positioned to exploit DLs as a way of accessing audio- visual (A/V) documents if the DL is properly adapted. Cultural heritage documents created by researchers during fieldwork may be audio, video, or images that can be sources of national pride for non-literate citizens; these documents could be stored in a cultural heritage DL (CHDL) for online access by non-literate citizens. The primary methodology employed in this study is a review of relevant literature. National culture and universal usability contribute to cultural usability, the human aspects of DL use being explored. Machine aspects of DLs are investigated within the Library and Information Science (LIS) framework, with an emphasis on theories of organization of information and information retrieval, and a complementary discussion of the read/write Web.
