    3.3. Cannabis

    World Drug Report 2004 Volume 2. Statistics 3.3. Cannabis 3.3.1. Morocco Until recently, the information available on cannabis cultivation in Morocco pointed to the fact that it had been increasing since the 1980’s. However, estimates of the actual size of the area under cannabis cultivation and of the production of hashish in Morocco have been a debated and, at times, controversial. In February 2003, however, the Moroccan government signed a cooperation agreement with UNODC to conduct a survey on illicit drug production (cannabis) and organized crime in Morocco. The first survey on cannabis production was launched in July 2003. Results of the 2003 UNODC Morocco Cannabis Survey (1) Cannabis Cultivation The survey estimated cannabis cultivation at about 134,000 hectares over the total area covered by the survey (14,000km2, five provinces of the Northern Region). This represents 10% of the area surveyed, 27% of the arable lands of the surveyed territory, and 1.5% of Morocco’s total arable land (8.7 million ha). (2) Cannabis and cannabis resin production The total potential production of raw cannabis was estimated to be around 47,000 metric tons and the potential cannabis resin production was estimated at 3,080 metric tons. (3) Cannabis producers In the cannabis production area, 75% of the douars (villages) and 96,600 farms were found to produce cannabis in 2003, representing a total population of about 800,000 persons (the 1994 census gave a figure of 1.65 million for the rural population in the area), i.e. 2.5% of Morocco’s total population, estimated at 29.6 million in 2002.

    Morocco 2020 Crime & Safety Report

    Morocco 2020 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Offices at the U.S. Embassy in Rabat and the U.S. Consulate General in Casablanca. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Morocco. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Morocco country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Morocco at Level 2, indicating travelers should exercise increased caution due to terrorism. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Casablanca as being a HIGH-threat location and Rabat as being a MEDIUM-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Media reporting and anecdotal observations indicate that the frequency and intensity of crime in Morocco’s major cities is similar to other large cities in North Africa. The most common crimes are petty crimes, such as pickpocketing, theft from unoccupied vehicles, robberies, purse snatching, and burglaries. Criminals focus on high-traffic and high-density areas such as tourist sites, markets, medinas, and festivals in major cities. Criminals tend to fixate on people who appear unfamiliar with their surroundings, dress in obviously foreign clothing, or otherwise draw attention to themselves. Due to the low availability of firearms in Morocco, when violent crimes occur, they tend to involve edged weapons such as knives (and occasionally swords).

Regions, Provinces and Municipalities Maps The shape files of administrative boundaries were provided by e-mail (by AIT ALI Abdelaaziz [[email protected]]) on 16/10/2015. The country was divided into Regions, Provinces and Municipalities. Between 1997 and 2015, Morocco was organized in 16 Regions; afterwards Morocco administers officially 12 Regions. The Figure below represents these shape files. Morocco Regions 2. Road Network Map The road network data were taken from OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/).

The road network in OpenStreetMap is classified by a tag named “highway” that is any road, route, way, or thoroughfare on land which connects one location to another and has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by some conveyance, including motorized vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, horse riders, and others (but not trains).

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.

    Chapitre VI La Ville Et Ses Équipements Collectifs

    Chapitre VI La ville et ses équipements collectifs Introduction L'intérêt accordé à la connaissance du milieu urbain et de ses équipements collectifs suscite un intérêt croissant, en raison de l’urbanisation accélérée que connaît le pays, et de son effet sur les équipements et les dysfonctionnements liés à la répartition des infrastructures. Pour résorber ce déséquilibre et assurer la satisfaction des besoins, le développement d'un réseau d'équipements collectifs appropriés s'impose. Tant que ce déséquilibre persiste, le problème de la marginalisation sociale, qui s’intensifie avec le chômage et la pauvreté va continuer à se poser La politique des équipements collectifs doit donc occuper une place centrale dans la stratégie de développement, particulièrement dans le cadre de l’aménagement du territoire. La distribution spatiale de la population et par conséquent des activités économiques, est certes liée aux conditions naturelles, difficiles à modifier. Néanmoins, l'aménagement de l'espace par le biais d'une politique active peut constituer un outil efficace pour mettre en place des conditions favorables à la réduction des disparités. Cette politique requiert des informations fiables à un niveau fin sur l'espace à aménager. La présente étude se réfère à la Base de données communales en milieu urbain (BA.DO.C) de 1997, élaborée par la Direction de la Statistique et concerne le niveau géographique le plus fin à savoir les communes urbaines, qui constituent l'élément de base de la décentralisation et le cadre d'application de la démocratie locale. Au recensement de 1982, était considéré comme espace urbain toute agglomération ayant un minimum de 1 500 habitants et qui présentait au moins quatre des sept conditions énumérées en infra1.
