Urban Seismic Risk in North African Countries First Arab Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction Aqaba (Jordan), 19-21 March 2013 Urban Seismic Risk in North African Countries Djillali BENOUAR University of Science and Technology Houari Boumediene (USTHB), Algeria INTRODUCTION North African countries are growing increasingly dependent on new products and services that make up our domestic critical infrastructure network. Several factors contribute to region’s vulnerability to the numerous varieties of threats. First the region’s population, built environment, and wealth, are increasingly concentrated in a small number of highly vulnerable cities and many such communities are at risk from multiple hazards. The rapid urbanization, development of critical engineering works such as dams, decaying building stock, implementation of various industries within and around the main cities. INTRODUCTION (Cont’d) • Many recent disasters in the last decades had their main impact in urban areas where there is a large concentration of people with a heavy dependency on infrastructure and services. • Industrialization of CITIES with modern types of buildings and the large concentration of populations, with a heavy dependency on infrastructure and services, living in large cities and/or settling in hazardous areas are matters of growing concern, as they contribute to heavier loss of life and seriously increasing the economic losses in future disaster damage.

Social vulnerability (Cutter 2003) • Social vulnerability is described using - The individual characteristics of people (age, race, health, income, type of dwelling unit, employment, education) -The characteristics of communities and the built environment, such as the level of urbanization, growth rates, and economic vitality, that contribute to the social vulnerability of places. Social vulnerability • Insufficient resources for DRR • unplanned urbanization, • Settlements within high risk zones, • lack of compliance to building codes , • deficient urban management practices, • Unpreparedness to confront disasters • Poor quality of workmanship (lack of training) Physical vulnerability 1- Soft story, 2- Traditional masonry bearing walls not linked to each other (rural and urban) 3- Short Columns 4- Structural asymmetries (in elevation but mainly in plane): discontinuities in mass, stiffness, resistance, et ductility generate torsion and stress concentration often unbearable 5- Heavy roofs and floors with relative stiffness « beams-columns » too unbalanced (Weak columns) Physical vulnerability 6- Insufficient width of seismic joints 7- Heavy decorative elements poorly hung to facades 8- Too important cantilever beams 9- Huge stock of vulnerable buildings exists today in most Arab cities Physical vulnerability • Errors in design: Lack of seismic design: structures built before the seismic code (Algeria 1981), self constructions (60% of total constructions) • Soil dynamics, site effects, liquefaction, landslides, etc. • Poor quality of workmanship and materials , Low resistance of concrete (14 à 17 MPA) • substandard construction and callous contractors and builders Physical vulnerability • deficiencies in the monitoring and control of constructions • Lack or insufficient maintenance of buildings • lack of building safety enforcement, lack of land use planning, • lack of design, inspection, plan review, and material quality , and lack of insurance Seismic vulnerability Seismic vulnerability reduction should not taken only as a technical problem but also a political, legal and socio- economic problem which needs a holistic approach beyond regulationS Some analysis of the existing risk reduction practice in urban areas, • PROVIDING DRR EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES • Review of the Algerian seismic building Code 1999/version 2003 • Establishment of the Algerian Seismic Public Works Code (RPOA 2010) DRR implemented actions SEISMIC HAZARDS MAPS AT NATIONAL AND REGIONAL LEVELS (ISO-ACCELERATIONS MAPS) AND EVALUATION AT SITE LEVEL SEISMIC MICROZONING MAPS (MORE THAN 40 CITIES IN ALGERIA) SITE EFFECTS STUDIES SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT (STRATEGIC BUILDINGS IN LARGE CITIES IN ALGERIA.

  • The Cinema of Merzak Allouache Joseph Mcgonagle
    Transculturality in Algiers: The Cinema of Merzak Allouache Joseph McGonagle Thanks to its rich and diverse history, the city of Algiers is undoubtedly a privileged site of transculturality. This was certainly the case in the French colonial period when, as Zeynep Çelik argues, colonial Algeria was the most important but most problematic of the French overseas territories and constituted “the colonial city par excellence, the terrain of many battles— cultural, political, military, urban, architectural.”1 Furthermore, as Martin Evans and John Phillips point out: “French rule in Algeria lasted for 132 years, as opposed to 75 years in Tunisia and 44 in Morocco, a depth and duration of colonial experience unique within the Arab world.”2 As a consequence, France “remains an omnipresent feature of Algeria,” and the complexity of its historical legacy helps ensure that Algeria is “the most francophone of France’s former territories.”3 Crucially, the Bay of Algiers forms a major economic maritime hub. As Tom Trevor has asserted regarding port cities more broadly, such spaces provide “symbolic sites of cultural exchange. They are the points of entry and departure, the mouth of an imagined body of the nation-state, where the foreign gets muddled up with the familiar and land-locked certainty is blurred by maritime exchange.”4 Given that Algiers is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, Trevor’s argument pertains all the more, as the profound cultural and linguistic diversity of this geographical space “encourages a reshuffling of the usual cards of national belonging and unilateral framing.”5 As the capital city and seat of state power, Algiers has played a pivotal role in the formation of Algeria as a nation and the development of Algerian cultural identity.

  • Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State
    Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State By Neil Grant Landers A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Debarati Sanyal, Co-Chair Professor Soraya Tlatli, Co-Chair Professor Karl Britto Professor Stefania Pandolfo Fall 2013 1 Abstract of the Dissertation Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State by Neil Grant Landers Doctor of Philosophy in French Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Debarati Sanyal, Co-Chair Professor Soraya Tlatli, Co-Chair Representing the Algerian Civil War: Literature, History, and the State addresses the way the Algerian civil war has been portrayed in 1990s novelistic literature. In the words of one literary critic, "The Algerian war has been, in a sense, one big murder mystery."1 This may be true, but literary accounts portray the "mystery" of the civil war—and propose to solve it—in sharply divergent ways. The primary aim of this study is to examine how three of the most celebrated 1990s novels depict—organize, analyze, interpret, and "solve"—the civil war. I analyze and interpret these novels—by Assia Djebar, Yasmina Khadra, and Boualem Sansal—through a deep contextualization, both in terms of Algerian history and in the novels' contemporary setting. This is particularly important in this case, since the civil war is so contested, and is poorly understood. Using the novels' thematic content as a cue for deeper understanding, I engage through them and with them a number of elements crucial to understanding the civil war: Algeria's troubled nationalist legacy; its stagnant one-party regime; a fear, distrust, and poor understanding of the Islamist movement and the insurgency that erupted in 1992; and the unending, horrifically bloody violence that piled on throughout the 1990s.

LES CONSTRUCTIONS TERRITORIALES DES PÉRIPHÉRIES Pratiques de mobilités résidentielles et processus de territorialisation : le cas de location-vente AADL SALIHA OUADAH REBRAB Maître assistante, Doctorante en Sociologie urbaine, Département de Sociologie, Université d’Alger [email protected] I. LA POUSSÉE DÉMOGRAPHIQUE GÉNÉRATRICE DE LA CROISSANCE URBAINE 1. Alger par rapport aux autres métropoles régionales Au dernier recensement de 1998, l’agglomération d’Alger, comptait 2 562 428 habitants, se détachant nettement des trois autres métropoles régionales algériennes, Oran, Annaba et Constantine. Alger, capitale régionale et nationale, concentrait près de 18 % de la population urbaine du pays1. Sa fonction de capitale la plaçait au sommet de la pyramide urbaine. Le fait qu’elle jouissait d’une force attractive considérable à l’échelle nationale, et qu’elle regroupait l’essentiel des structures de directions, peut être considéré comme étant à l’origine de ce phénomène d’urbanisation très rapide. Les concepteurs d’Alger des XIXème-XXème siècles n’imaginaient pas que cette ville prévue pour 300 à 400 000 habitants en compterait huit à dix fois plus un peu plus d’un siècle plus tard. Le concept urbanistique européen s’est avéré si étroit que l’expansion des grandes villes comme Alger, Oran ou Constantine, s’est faite en direction des périphéries, au détriment, dans certaines configurations, des superficies agricoles. Pour autant, cette expansion vers la périphérie et l’émergence de banlieues autour des villes, n’ont pas soldé le réel contentieux de la surpopulation dans ces grands centres urbains. L’une des raisons en est la centralisation des sphères de la gestion administrative, avec tout ce que les réseaux de décision impliquent en termes de recherche d’emploi, d’avancement de carrière, bref d’accomplissement personnel et professionnel.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.

    Abdelkader Zoukh, wali d’Alger « Le plan stratégique se veut un moyen de modernisation, d’embellissement et d’aménagement de la capitale » Abdelkader Zoukh, wali d'Alger, accompagnant le Premier ministre Abdelmalek Sellal, et Noureddine Bedoui, ministre de l'Intérieur et des Collectivités locales, lors d'une sortie d'inspection et de travail à Alger Les projets prioritaires, auxquels la wilaya d'Alger va s'attaquer en 2017, sont la poursuite de la réalisation de logements toutes formules confondues, l'aménagement urbain, l'aménagement des routes et celui des espaces verts, la réalisation des espaces de distraction et la réalisation des marchés, souligne dans cet entretien Abdelkader Zoukh, qui précise que le plan stratégique de développement, d’embellissement et d’amélioration du cadre de vie du citoyen a été décidé par le président de la République Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Se prêtant comme à son habitude, patiemment au jeu des questions-réponses, le chef de l’exécutif de la wilaya évoque les opérations de recasement et les programmes de logements destinés à la résorption de l’habitat précaire à même de faire d’Alger la première capitale africaine sans bidonvilles. Il a également abordé la sécurité, la crise de la circulation automobile tout en rassurant que tous les projets inscrits dans la wilaya d’Alger seront menés à terme. Entretien réalisé par Smail ROUHA Abdelkader Zoukh en tournée à la Promenade des Sablettes El-Djazair.com : En octobre 2013, prévoit de « débarrasser la ville des avons signé un contrat avec une vous avez été nommé à la tête de activités polluantes et dangereuses».

  • La Couverture Sanitaire De La Wilaya D'alger
    La couverture sanitaire de la wilaya d’Alger Pr. Larbi ABID Située au bord de la mer méditerranée, la ville donne son nom à la wilaya dont elle est le chef-lieu. La wilaya d'Alger est constituée de 13 daïras et 57 communes. D’une superficie de 820 Km2 (plus petite wilaya du pays) pour une population générale de 3.246.191 habitants (Densité : 3959 habitants/ Km2), Alger est bâtie sur les contreforts des collines du Sahel algérois. La Casbah a été érigée sur le flanc d'une de ces collines qui donne sur la pointe ouest de la baie d’Alger sur un dénivelé de 150 mètres environ. En dehors des fortifications de la ville ottomane, de nouveaux quartiers vont voir le jour le long du bras de colline qui donne sur la baie. La ville va se développer ensuite vers le nord-ouest au pied du mont Bouzareah, qui culmine à 400 m d'altitude, comme le quartier de Bab El Oued, puis tout le long de la corniche qui contourne le massif. Les premières banlieues vont voir le jour au sud-est, le long de la petite bande côtière, jusqu'à l'embouchure du l'Oued El Harrach. L'étalement urbain de la ville se poursuivra au-delà de l'Oued El Harrach à l'est, sur les terres fertiles de la plaine de la Mitidja tout au long de la baie, avant de se poursuivre ces dernières années au Sud et au sud-ouest, sur les collines vallonnées du Sahel, englobant d'anciens villages agricoles.

  • 9-2-8 Slope Failure Risk Slope Gradient Is an Important Factor That Is Used for Assessing the Potential for Slope Failures to Be
    Chapter 9 : Evaluation of Urban Vulnerability 9-2-8 Slope Failure Risk Slope gradient is an important factor that is used for assessing the potential for slope failures to be triggered by an earthquake. The average slope gradient was calculated for each commune by using GIS. The slope gradient was determined from 5m digital elevation model data for the built-up areas within the Study Area. Figure 9-17 shows the distribution of the average slope gradients within the Study Area. Legend Borders of communes Average slope gradient: degree 0.00 - 5.00 5.01 - 10.00 10.01 - 15.00 15.01 - 20.00 20.01 -? 31.3831.38 Source: JICA Study Team Figure 9-17 Distribution of Slope Gradients within the Study Area Table 9-15 shows the average slope gradient of the built-up areas within each commune. The built-up areas within OUED KORICHE, RAIS HAMIDOU, BOUZAREA, BOUZAREAH, BOLOGHINE IBNOU ZIRI and EL MADANIA have relatively high average slope gradients. EL BIAR, EL MOURADIA and HYDRA follow these five (5) communes and they have relatively high average slope gradients.
