Abstract
Commercial attractiveness and new centrality in the Algerian Lower Sahara: Biskra City case-study. New dynamics affect the contemporary city triggering a real redistribution of the urban functions and redefining of the notion of territory. Indeed, the phenomenon of urban relaxation stimulated the emergence of new points of attractiveness at the periphery, so breaking with the model of the traditional town. These new centrality points generate effects related to the space gravity leading to the concentration of economic activities, among them is the commercial one, which plays a fundamental role in the structuring and dynamics of space. In fact, this was a determining factor in “shaping” the contemporary centrality of the city of Biskra. The spatial distribution of fixed shops (retailing) in the city responds to the concentration factor which is interesting to study in order to identify more central places than others. Thus, our work I lies essentially at the crossroads of two approaches: qualitative and quantitative, with emphasis on the commercial activity. The main objective of our research is to assess commercial centrality in the city of Biskra and its impact on the structure and space organization. It is also interesting to envisage an urban strategy able to support and anticipate urban developments at the best in Biskra.
