De la propriété de l’eau à la propriété de la terre : basculement de logiques dans l’accès au foncier agricole dans le sud-ouest du Sahara algérien
In the south-west of the Algerian Sahara, the implementation of a program of modernization of agriculture in the 1980s leads to an evolution of forms of land appropriation : the accession to land ownership through the agricultural land use. This program, led by the State and based on the exploitation of water by drilling, allowed the development of agriculture on new lands, while disrupting the traditional oasis system organized around the foggara (an underground water pipe). This one is experiencing a spatial regression which is explained by the decrease of the foggaras water, the excessive fragmentation of the properties and the deep socioeconomic transformations lived in the region. As a result, oasis social forces have competed by transgressing traditional rules of access to resources, ranging from appropriating « water before land » to appropriating « land before water ». To understand this process and analyze its results, we rely on a diachronic approach, using statistics and data from field surveys.
