Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set. Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its Art Deco buildings are enough to cast a spell over them. The richness of the city’s architectural heritage is sufficient in itself to call forth the image of a city where time has no hold.

  • La Mobilité Pendulaire, Un Aspect De La Population Des Banlieues : Cas D'el Jadida
    Jeune chercheur La mobilité pendulaire, un aspect de la population des banlieues : cas d’El Jadida Mohamed ELADIB Introduction Dans un contexte caractérisé par le développement des banlieues, la question de la mobilité pendulaire, qui désigne le déplacement quotidien de la population en âge de travailler entre le domicile et le lieu de travail ou d’étude, détient une importance particulière et constitue une des problématiques d’actualité pour la recherche géographique. Suite à plusieurs facteurs dont l’étalement des villes et la rurbanisation, les relations entre les villes et leurs banlieues ont connu de profondes mutations en relation avec la spécialisation des lieux et la complémentarité des fonctions. Dans ce sens, la complémentarité fonctionnelle entre la ville d’El Jadida et sa banlieue entraine une forte mobilité de la population en âge de travailler, spécialement celle de la banlieue objet de notre étude. En s’appuyant sur des documents d’urbanisme (SDAU, DTP1) et des investigations de terrain on peut déduire les principales fonctions et ressortir les complémentarités entre la ville et sa banlieue, véritable catalyseur de la mobilité pendulaire. Du fait que la mobilité est l’aptitude de se mouvoir selon AMAR (2013), elle dépend des caractéristiques démographiques, socioéconomiques et spatiales de la population concernée. Ainsi, et sur la base de ce qui précède à quel point la population en âge de travailler de la banlieue d’El Jadida est censée être une population pendulaire ? Par cet article on présente les résultats d’une recherche réalisée dans le cadre de la préparation d’une thèse de doctorat portant sur la mobilité de la population de la banlieue d’El Jadida, à travers une enquête par sondage selon la méthode des quotas, qui a concerné 1712 personnes âgées de 15 ans et plus, appartenant à 417 ménages, soit 4% des ménages de la banlieue.

Route Ben Mâachou, El Jadida, Maroc doi: 10.19044/esj.2016.v12n24p253 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2016.v12n24p253 Abstract Geomorphological study of the range of Haouzia shows that the latter is more or less homogeneous but influenced by the mouth of the Oued Oum Rbia to the No. Spatio-temporal variation and the heterogeneity and beach profiles are related to the morphology of the beach and the coastal dynamics. Its sediments enrich carbonate because they feed Cretaceous land upstream of the mouth and the Quaternary calcarenites outcropping in the submerged area of the beach. Heavy minerals come from land metamorphic (Boulaouane) and magmatic (Sidi Saïd Maachou) through the Oued Oum Rbia and then taken over by the littoral drift. The weight content of heavy minerals is a good indicator of the direction of the transfer (no SW) of these minerals and sediment. The relative heterogeneity of sediments is favoured by the mouth of the Oued Oum Rbia allowing mixing of continental and marine sediments. It is all the more pronounced to the SW (breaking the waves) and winter (storms). Sediment (coarse and fine) are generally ranked especially in part SW (quiet environment despite the onslaught of the waves) and dune (sorting by the wind).

The majority (367, 92%) were male and had no formal education (270, 66%). Some (118, 29%) believed that rabies does not affect humans. Most respondents (320, 79%) were aware that vaccination could prevent rabies, but nevertheless did not vaccinate their dogs (264, 64.9%) and allowed their dogs to roam freely in search of food. Some (52.8%) would visit traditional healers for treatment in the event of a dog bite incident.

Elle est composée selon le nouveau découpage de quatre provinces : Safi qui abrite le Chef-lieu de la région, El Jadida, Sidi Bennour et Youssoufia. La présente étude se propose de donner une présentation synthétique de la région à travers les données démographiques, les principaux secteurs d’activité productifs et sociaux ainsi que les infrastructures existantes. Les principaux axes autours desquels s'articule cette monographie sont : • La population de la région, sa structure et sa composition ; • L'urbanisation ; • Les conditions d'habitation des ménages ; • L'alphabétisation et la scolarisation ; • L'éducation ; • L'activité économique et l'emploi ; • L’environnement ; • L'infrastructure sanitaire et l'encadrement médical ; • Les équipements socioculturels ; • Les potentialités économiques de la région ; • Les secteurs productifs et sociaux. Le taux de croissance du PIB en valeur dans la région Doukala-Abda est de 8% soit un taux supérieur à la moyenne nationale (5%). Ainsi la région compte parmi les quatre régions qui participent à la création de la richesse nationale pour un peu plus du quart (27,9%) du PIB. Il s’agit des régions de de Tanger-Tétouan (7,9%), de Souss-Massa-Daraâ (7,6%), de Doukala-Abda (6,9%) et de Meknès- Tafilalet (5,5%).
