REHABILITATION OF GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS FOR A TOURIST DEVELOPMENT THE CASE OF BATNA REGION’S MOUNTAINS (ALGERIA)
Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
The rugged mountains of the province of Batna suffer an isolation which explains the poverty of the population and the precariousness of their living conditions. If rural and urban spaces require scientific methods for their organization and their development, mountain areas also need planning and productive development through the integration of tourism in a context of economic benefit. To this aim, our topic emphasizes the enhancement of site rehabilitation by focusing on tourism demand, within the framework of a participative and decentralized approach allowing the various actors to be involved in the decision-making processes concerning tourism, enhancement and preservation of touristic potentialities and all the territorial values of this mountainous area. This article also concluded that the feasibility study represents a tool that plays an important role in the evaluation process and determines the effectiveness of an investment project in different areas: environmental, legislative, social and financial. In drafting such an important research towards the development of this region’s tourism industry, a descriptive approach was used to highlight the true image of the studied sites and the importance of their development in order to contain tourist activities connected to mountains. Followed by a conceptual approach to rehabilitate four sites and adapt them to geological, geomorphological and environmental tourism.
