The Inclusion of the Environmental Dimension of Sustainability in Studying Informal Settlements Using the INDI System
Imane Lamdjad; Boudjemaa Khalfallah
The phenomenon of informal settlements is considered
one of the most common global issues that have negative effects
on several life aspects. All Algerian cities face this problem,
including the city of Bousaada and the neighborhood of Sidi
Slimane, which is considered one of the largest informal
settlements in the city. Although the neighborhood has benefited
from the Vulnerable Housing Absorption Program funded by the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the
latter did not achieve the set goals. Therefore, it has become
necessary to think about the use of modern and effective criteria
for assessing the environmental dimension of sustainability, such
as the INDI system of impact indicators built into
EcoQuartierGrid2011 in order to contribute to the development
of these neighborhoods, to ensure a better quality of life for the
residents, and achieve sustainable development in light of the
environmental dimension. On this basis, the present study aims to
use the INDI system to integrate the environmental dimension of
sustainability in informal settlements and to investigate the
environmental shortcomings that the neighborhood Sidi Slimane
suffers from in order to suggest possible solutions to develop it
and improve the quality of life for the residents. In pursuance of
this aim, the approach of the current research is descriptiveanalytical
in order to design an approach that deals with the
criteria of the INDI System in environmental studies. The
research concludes that both INDI and EcoquatierGrid 2011 will
help improve the quality of life of the population for millions of
individuals and residents in Algeria and in developing countries
that suffer from the problem of informal housing. A guideline
based on INDI and EcoquatierGrid 2011 indicators is
recommended and incorporated into environmental studies as a
reference. The novelty of the current research lies in finding
practical and technical solutions to the problem of squatter
housing through the use of the INDI indicator system and its
integration with EcoQuartierGrid2011 based on 40 topics and
318 indicators covering the economic, social, and environmental
dimensions

The Impact of Social and Economic Transformations on the Heritage Features of Bou Saada Traditional City
BERREGHIOUA Fatima Zahra; KHALFALLAH Boudjemaa
The traditional city of Bou Saâda is witnessing a high level of tension and imbalance in its urban and architectural appearance
as a result of the social and economic transformation caused by the industrial and technological revolution and the colonial
movement which brought strange patterns that imposed changes on a traditional pattern that could stand for long periods. The
phenomenon of urbanization, migration and population growth has also contributed to the acceleration of the deterioration of
the old heritage fabric, as human needs change rapidly and continuously, and what was yesterday contained the requirements
of the local population is today, for some, a relic of the past that should be eliminated because it is seen as an impediment to
progress and well-being. This research aims to show the impact of social and economic transformations on the features of the
traditional heritage of Bou Saada city. The study was based on the descriptive and analytical approach of the urban structure
of Bou Saâda traditional city, which faithfully reflects the compatibility between culture and human achievements and its
restriction to social, economic and environmental controls in construction and urbanisation. The results proved that the new
social and economic conditions contributed to following modern trends in urban planning and architectural design in a
completely different way to the authentic, inherited local culture, so the city lost its aesthetic and a large part of its heritage
and consequently lost its local identity

The plan of land use decentralised participatory tool between legal text and reality - case of the land use plan for the new urban residential area (NURA01) of the city of M'sila - Algeria
Benlatreche Abdelmadjid; FeloussiaLahcene
The land use plan is one of the new reconstruction tools through which the Algerian
State seeks to distribute roles between the central authority and the local community represented
by the governorate and the municipality, respectively. The decentralization and the participation
when preparing the land use plan help strengthen the dialogue between the state and population
representatives, facilitate the decision-making and improve the management of local affairs, As
a result, projects that elevate and meet the society requirements are of a higher efficiency. In this
perspective, this research aims at identifying the indicators of decentralization and participation
at the stage of preparation of the land use plan, and monitoring them in real based on a descriptive
analytical approach. The results of this study demonstrated that there is unilateralism in the
preparation of the land use plan through the existence of a prior intention from Municipality and
of M'sila to impose their vision, while other Institutions are neglected

EVALUATION OF THE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF THE TRAM ROUTE OF SETIF CITY, ALGERIA: COMBINING AHP AND GIS APPROACHES

The study aims to evaluate the efficiency of the tram track in the urban transport system of the
Algerian city of Setif by combining Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Geographic Information System
(GIS) approach. In this research, a set of multiple pre-determined criteria applicable in the field of urban
transport were selected for decision-making. They were collected from recent research literature and expert
opinions in this discipline, and then were arranged and evaluated in the AHP to extract the main weights for
each criterion. In the end, they were processed spatially by using GIS. The study showed that the selection of
the tramway track in the city of Setif was not successful in terms of the chosen location, and its selection was
not studied according to the efficiency and quality criteria applicable in the field of urban transport. In
addition, the study concluded that there is a significant shortfall in the first tram track, especially the one
linking the tram route to the northern and southern parts of the city, which affected the efficiency and quality
of the tram route. As the results have shown, the percentage of good spaces near the tram route does not
exceed 0.34%. It is followed by the percentage of the average and acceptable areas (13.48%) and then the
percentage of the marginalized areas and the areas far from the tram track (86.18% of the total area of the
city). The study also demonstrated the importance of using AHP and GIS in evaluating a completed tram
track according to a comprehensive and widely studied scientific methodology.
