  • 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

Cette étude livre à cet effet une cartographie communale du développement et de ses sources assimilées à l’éducation, la santé, le niveau de vie, l’activité économique, l’habitat et les services sociaux, à partir de la base de données «Indicateurs du RGPH 2014» (HCP, 2017). Cette cartographie du développement et de ses dimensions montre clairement que : - La pauvreté matérielle voire monétaire est certes associée au développement humain, mais elle ne permet pas, à elle seule, d’identifier les communes sous l’emprise d’autres facettes de pauvreté.

In the study area, a network of 20 water points has been the focus of the isotope analysis (δ18O, δ2H, 3H and 14C) and physical chemistry. The samples were collected once every 3 months from artesian groundwater of “the Infracenomanian” (4), the Turonian (4), the Senonian (1) and the Quaternary aquifer (5) and from the precipitation of the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. The results show that (i) the stable isotope from the Infracenomanian is very poor and they are without tritium, confirming the fact that this aquifer is confined and it is not evaporated. Its strong salinity is due to the dissolution and the lixiviation of the geological formation; (ii) the Turonian, the Senonian and the Quaternary aquifers are not confined, and their stable isotope contents more or less as important as the tritium, signifying that they receive recent recharge.
