E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 10 April, 2018 The Oualidia-Sidi Moussa lagoon complex has a high landscape value and constitutes one of the most important coastal ecosystems on the Moroccan Atlantic coast. In addition to their endemic flora and fauna, these sites have a crucial role in the overwintering of several migratory bird species. Also, this complex is surrounded by several cultural and religious sites. The wealth of this lagoon complex motivated us to evaluate its geomorphosites in order to promote nature tourism for sustainable human development. To achieve this goal, we have used a method for scientific, didactic and additional parameters assessment, as well as the attribution of different scores. The geomorphosites assessment revealed an important scientific value for both lagoons of Oualidia-Sidi Moussa complex, but it was negatively impacted by the integrity criterion of the lagoons. Generally, the visiting conditions are good for both sites. Moreover, a significant number of economic activities are developed in the two lagoons including oyster farming, agriculture and tourism, which make it a considerable socio-economic interest area for the riverside populations. However, the intense and uncontrolled exploitation of the natural resources of these lagoons puts them at risk. The identification of the geomorphological elements of the Oualidia and Sidi Moussa lagoons that have been realized will help to highlight the potentially exceptional sites at the scale of the lagoon complex in terms of culture, education and aesthetics, as well as on the economic and social levels and therefore, the elaboration of policies and preservation planning. Key words: Oualidia-Sidi Moussa lagoon complex, geomorphosite, Morocco, sustainable human development, assessment, preservation. INTRODUCTION Geologically, the Oualidia-Sidi Moussa lagoon complex wetlands are protected by the Ramsar Convention, an belongs to the large structural unit of the western plateau, intergovernmental treaty adopted on February 2 nd , 1971, precisely to the large morphological unit of Doukkala which provides the national action and international Sahel. The subsoil of this unit consists mainly of cooperation framework for the conservation and the consolidated marine limestone sands from the age of rational use of wetlands. Plio-quaternary deposited on the bedrock of cretaceous The wetlands constitute an exceptional heritage by age. This region is characterized by a high biodiversity fulfilling the different functions of feeding, reproduction and geodiversity, which constitute an opportunity for and shelter for many animal and plant species, and an sustainable socio-economic development. important area of breeding for migratory birds (Skinner et In general, lagoons have ecological benefits that make al., 1994).

Some wetlands benefit from years through geoparks creation. Referring to the African groundwater supply through intensive exchanges with Geoparks Network (AGN), a Geopark is a territory where phreatic zone. On the other hand, the wetlands support the geological and geomorphological heritage associated various economic and recreational activities such as with all other heritage components is used to promote the shellfish farming, fishing and recreation. sustainable human and socio-economic development In Moroccan coastal aquifers, the pumped irrigation (Errami et al., 2015), by first going through the causes marine intrusion formation which decrease the assessment of geomorphosites, which are defined as water quality in Doukkala-Abda plio-quaternary and being: a relief part perceived and exploited by human that cretaceous aquifer. The effect of this intrusion is very low allows us to better understand the evolution of the climate compared to other areas in Morocco and Africa (Fadili, and reconstruct the history of the earth (Panizza and 2014).

To achieve this goal, we have Oualidia and Sidi Moussa lagoons constitute worked on the Oualidia-Sidi Moussa lagoon complex landscapes which offer varied natural wealth with a assessment based on the method of Reynard et al. remarkable fauna and flora exploited by the local (2016), which focused on scientific, additional and use population.

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 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.

Thanks to its research achievements, INRA is among the national institutions that have contributed significantly to the modernization of the Moroccan economy through basic knowledge produced and the technologies developed by its researchers. ln this regard, the regional dimension is a strategie priority. Thus, we are working to preserve client oriented research achievements and to consolidate regional anchorage. Our will is strongly expressed by the involvement of our partners, stakeholders and regional operators in orienting, monitoring and using research results. This is also the role ofThe Regional Councils of Agricultural Research which are important forums for holding debates and keeping information exchange. ln addition, communication and technology transfer is a key element of our vision. We are spa ring no effort to promote internai and external communication and improve information management. Nowadays, INRA has a solid basis to achieve defined objectives and, thereby, support the new Govern­ ment Agricultural Development Strategy "Green Morocco Plan:' Meanwhile, the opening up and partnership dimension is also a field for us to further strengthen collaboration at the national and international levels for better use of research results and for raising Research and Development to a level in harmony with public and private operators' needs.

  • Projections De La Population Des Regions Et Des Provinces 2014-2030
    Royaume du Maroc PROJECTIONS DE LA POPULATION DES REGIONS ET DES PROVINCES 2014-2030 Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches Démographiques (CERED) Mai 2017 Avertissement Nous tenons à rappeler que les projections démographiques n’ont pas pour prétention de déterminer avec certitude la population future mais plutôt de prévoir l’effectif et les caractéristiques de la population si telle ou telle autre hypothèse venait à se réaliser. Les hypothèses concernant les tendances futures ont été formulées à l’aide des données disponibles au moment de la préparation de ces projections. Bien entendu, ces données ne sont pas exemptes d’erreurs et les tendances qu’elles dégagent peuvent être légitiment soumises à la critique. Il faut insister sur le fait que toute nouvelle opération démographique d’envergure : recensement, enquête, doit susciter l’élaboration d’un nouveau jeu de projections en fonction des paramètres de la dynamique démographique observée. L’année 2030 a été retenue comme termes des projections par région, province et préfecture en raison des aléas qu’il y a à projeter des populations souvent peu nombreuses sur le long terme. Enfin, en raison de la méthodologie appliquée, dictée par le type de données disponible, l’erreur de ces projections tend à augmenter à mesure que l’on s’éloigne de l’année de départ, 2014, et en fonction du niveau de détail des résultats dégagés. En utilisant ces projections, il faut s’entourer de toutes les précautions nécessaires. 2 Introduction Les perspectives démographiques des régions et des provinces sont souvent utilisées dans un contexte de planification. Ainsi, il est indispensable de disposer d’un outil d’aide à la décision mis à jour régulièrement.
