Urban Environment Quality Between Planning Tools and Users’ Awairness (Exploratory Study, Case of Biskra City In Algeria)

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This present study focused on the role of the user (the citizen) as important actor in urban planning projects. It is nowadays well-established that the user opinion must be taken in consideration in any urban project. In Algeria, our context of study, as well, the urban law gave the citizens through the urban project process the right to participate legally. This present study wants to evaluate the effective participations of the Algerian citizen into realized urban projects. The city of Biskra was chosen as case study where data were collected through a survey. The results of this study reveal a clear gap between the intended participatory framework of urban planning in Algeria and its practical implementation on the ground. Citizens show limited awareness of urban planning tools and a low sense of engagement in shaping their urban environment.
