The processing of DTMs from 30 m resolution SRTM images using GIS has led to the extraction of the various sub-basins, the creation and construction of thematic maps and the automatic calculation of a multitude of physiographic parameters (size, shape, slope, drainage density, etc.) for each sub-basin (characteristics of shape, relief, and hydrographic network). The objective of this work is to highlight the weight of these different parameters on the flow of surface water. The correlation between these physiographic variables and some parameters which characterize this flow shows that these steep slopes induce torrential flows with a more moderate runoff speed at the level of the plateau (1.36 m \/ s for the Mayo Moutfoum) and the flows are more intense on the piedmonts of 2.78 m \/ s and 2.11 m \/ s respectively for the Mayo Mandia and the Mayo Zamay. <strong>Keywords.

In this movement, each council is called upon to gather the necessary tools for its development. However, rural councils are sometimes confronted with several problems, including the lack of tools for managing their infrastructures. This study aims to show how open source GIS can contribute to studying the accessibility of populations to basic social structures related to education, health and potable water. The methodology used is based on the analysis of the distance to the nearest social structure. Spatial and attribute data relating to basic social structures were collected in the councils of Babadjou, Batcham and Galim. The data processing resulted in the creation of distance surface maps around these structures. The results show that, overall, a large majority of the population can access a social structure on foot within one hour, but when other factors such as the type of structure are taken into account, the proportion with access decreases considerably. Because of their efficiency and affordability, open source GIS are positioned as tools to study the accessibility of local populations to social structures. By using these tools, decision-makers will now have the possibility to do better planning in the territories they are responsible for as foreseen in the decentralisation process. <strong>Keywords.

It is a basis for a better dimensioning of works and the facilitation of land allotments in rural areas. The aim of this article is to draw up a map of the state of the land use, equipment and infrastructure. To achieve this, we have proceeded to cross-reference cartographic, photogrammetric, satellite and Ground Control Point (GCP) data in order to propose better decision-making tools. The results show, on the one hand, thematic maps (topographic, land use, infrastructure) produced on the basis of the cross-referencing of the above data. On the other hand, a database of GCPs that have been implemented and observed from Geolocation and Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. The maps obtained allow the updating of the topographic maps produced in Cameroon in the early 1980s. They allow the design of a database for a better sizing of the infrastructures and the follow-up of the densification of the geodetic network on the territory. <strong>Keywords.

There is a high production of waste in the municipality; 104,866 kg of waste produced per day, i.e. 104.866 tonnes of waste; i.e. 6816.29 tonnes produced per year. The characterization of the waste was carried out in 2014 by the UCG, after finding that most of the waste is made up of fine materials (sand), plastic (light and hard) and organic materials (food residue). The municipality of Saint-Louis has a street sweeping system managed by the municipal authority. The sweeping is done at the level of 22 arteries (streets and avenues) on a linear of 21.778 km. This system has benefited from the support of the Priority Cleanliness Program (3P) of the Waste Management Coordination Unit, in its sustainability phase. We have developed an applied Geographic Information System to better manage the waste collection and management activity. For greater efficiency, it will be necessary to recruit and train three technical agents in the use of this geographical database with spatial reference. <strong>Database, Urban Waste, Governance, Saint Louis, Senegal, Geographic Information System.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>===============================================================<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"_ftn8\"><strong>Strat\u00e9gies de gestion du risque d&rsquo;inondation dans la ville de Diffa (Niger)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>KIARI FOUGOU Hadiza (1), DAMBO Lawali (2), LAWANE BOUKAR Mahamadou (3)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(1) G\u00e9ographe, Enseignante-chercheure, Ma\u00eetre-Assistante \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Diffa<br \/>(2) G\u00e9ographe, Enseignante-chercheure, Ma\u00eetre de Conf\u00e9rences \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Abdou Moumouni de Niamey<br \/>(3) Master G\u00e9ographie, Universit\u00e9 Abdou Moumouni de Niamey<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract. <\/strong> Since the floods of 2012, the city of Diffa has faced the phenomenon of recurrent floods, which is due to the overflows of the Komadougou Yob\u00e9.

Most of the data was collected from official data provided by the technical services, supplemented by field surveys based on individual interviews and surveys by administered questionnaires from heads of household. In this work, the choice of these three districts, namely : Diffa Koura, Sabon Carr\u00e9 and Festival, is explained by the recurrence of the flooding phenomenon. Data collection was carried out with 45 people, including 14 women and 31 men, with a proportion of 31.1% women against 68.9% men. The analysis of the result obtained shows that the overflow of the Komadougou Yob\u00e9 River, the occupation of risk areas by the population, silting, failure to control the flooding of this river upstream (in Nigeria) and climate change are the main factors of the floods recorded in the city of Diffa. The observation and analysis of satellite images, the map of flood-prone areas and risk areas have made it possible to determine the aggravating factors of these floods. The analysis of the topographic profile across, the slope, the degradation of the vegetation cover of the watershed, further indicated the amplifying factors of these floods in the city of Diffa. It was found through this study a gradual increase in the damage and damage caused by the 2019 river flood in Diffa. This negative progression of the damage is explained by the insufficiency of the tools and institutional mechanisms for the prevention and management of floods that the State and its partners should put in place. However, the most used strategy is that of the earthen dyke. Notwithstanding, the solutions provided by local authorities, technical services and development partners for better risk management in the city of Diffa, much effort is still needed. <strong>Key words.

Moreover, it has not escaped the Cameroonian legislator that the Decentralized Territorial Collectivities (DTCs) must have secure lands for the realisation of their various planning and development projects. This is the raison why, the laws relating to Regions and Municipalities transfer to them, competences in the field of urban planning, territorial development and urban planning. In addition, these texts define the general framework for the appropriation and\/or use of land belonging to the private estate of the State, the public estate and the national estate. However, the problem is that almost all of Cameroon's DTCs do not have a good command of their entire territory, because they do not have a Geographic Information System (GIS). The areas of competence of these DTCs are therefore poorly known, which hinders the control of local land resources. The current world (21st Century) is resolutely turned towards digital technology, which offers powerful and adequate tools for the management of spatially referenced information. This paper is part of the e-governance issue in Africa, it is a contribution to the improvement of land management of local communities in Cameroon, based on a test carried out in the city of Bertoua. Its main objective is to present the methodological approach used to design and operationalize of a mobile digital tool for the characterisation of urban land for better decision-making. <strong>Key words.

This important dimension has been considered in the planning of the urban pole of Diamniadio. This reflection is thus concerned with the integration of landscape in the planning of the urban pole of Diamniadio. The study was based on a research approach of direct field observation, a survey of actors, and inventories of baobab tree feet as landscape markers. It shows that the landscape is at the heart of the Diamniadio urban centre construction project. The development of this new town is based on planning that highlights the natural assets of the area. The first infrastructure construction works bear witness to this. The ambition of the public authorities is to make Diamniadio an intelligent city by articulating the urban in the natural.

We can therefore wonder about the role of these phenological modifications in restoring the environments modified by humans. The aim of this work was to understand the phenology of the main woody species spared by the clearing of rural communities and the useful modifications they can make in environments deeply modified by anthropic activity. The phenological stages of these woody species are analyzed on the basis of surveys carried out every two weeks from the start of the dry season (November) to the end of the rainy season (May-June to October).

Taking this into account, the main objective of this work is to analyze the spatio-temporal dynamics of land cover and land use in the said area. The diachronic approach was used for the digital processing of satellite images of the period of 1986, 2010 and 2020 according to the likelihood algorithm. However, the cross-referencing of images from the 1986 and 2020 period from the land change modeler module made it possible to assess the gains and losses of land use categories. Indeed, eleven classes of land use have been identified but which are not always well differentiated. The changes observed operate differently during the periods 1986-2010 and 2010-2020. The overall rate of change shows a notable regression in certain categories of land cover. These are mainly natural plant formations (Coastal forests, Sub-montane forests and mangroves) with respectively an overall regression of the order (-30.28%, -14.33% and -38.37%) of the total area of the study area. At the same time, significant progress is observed on the side of young secondary forests and dense mountain forests respectively of the order (33.94% and 13.49%). of the built-up areas and peasant agro-plantations class with an overall expansion rate of around 137.29% and 29%. However, during the period 1986 to 2021 four forms of change have been observed in the landscape. It is another phenomenon of natural regeneration of dense mountain and young secondary forests which represents 39% of the landscape followed by the phenomenon of regeneration which represents 32.68% of the landscape area. The phenomenon of deforestation represents 17% of the surface of the landscape, and finally the phenomenon of urbanization which represents 10.96% of the landscape. All this could be explained by the strong anthropization of the landscape by human activities. It seems necessary to take urgent measures to safeguard the remaining ecosystems in order to allow a more balanced development of the area. <strong>Key words.

ArcGIS 10.5 software was used to map land cover. The changes that occurred were assessed from the transition matrix. Spatial structure indices were determined with Fragstats software. From the different analyses, a reduction of 28% of forest formations in favor of anthropogenic formations was observed. Dense dry forests suffered more degradation with 63% loss, while plantations (70%), fields and fallows (60%) and settlements (52%) experienced more gains. The ongoing transformations in the FCTRP are removal (36%) of patches in natural formations and creation (36%) in anthropogenic formations. The disturbance index (u = 0.58) indicates a predominance of natural formations in 2019, a clear sign that forest cover recovery is still possible if disturbance stops. <strong>Keywords.

The peaceful cohabitation of these two activities in the field is a real challenge. In order to manage the available resources in a sustainable manner, a strategy was put in place as part of this study.  The methodology used is based on a diagnosis of available agro-pastoral resources and the main difficulties encountered in the agriculture and livestock sectors in the localities of Darang and Madem. In addition, GPS points were taken and land use maps were produced in a participatory manner using high-resolution aerial images. These tools led to the creation of an agropastoral zoning with the involvement of the populations, the main actors in the agropastoral sector, and the administration (Mayor and Sub-Prefect). Thus, 1,635 hectares were delimited and approved by the traditional and administrative authorities (1,047 ha of agricultural zone in Darang, 412 ha of pasture and 176 ha of agricultural zone in Madem). <strong>Keywords: Agruculture, Zoning, Participatory Mapping, Darang, Madem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>===============================================================<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"_ftn23\"><strong>Public actors of the city of Sal\u00e9, Moroccan-African: Strategic vision and urban governance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>OUAZIZ ALI (1)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(1) Institut Universitaire des \u00c9tudes Africaines, Euro-M\u00e9diterran\u00e9ennes et Ib\u00e9ro Am\u00e9ricaines \u00e0 Rabat.

This axis seeks to develop the deferent practices and actors of governance, as well as the means of administration and management of the territory of Sal\u00e9. The rank of Sal\u00e9 and the capital region must be strengthened through the creation of major facilities, by their presence, new major facilities will contribute to developing the image of Sal\u00e9 and increasing its influence; they will make it possible to intensify cultural life, develop the practice of sport and revitalize the economy. Their location in major sites of the conurbation, existing or to be created, will strongly contribute to structuring the urban space and developing the supply of local facilities, which will involve both rebalancing the supply between Rabat and Sal\u00e9 and between the different districts, and to create a new offer, particularly in terms of leisure facilities for young people. The administrative structures responsible for urban management are striking in their diversity and multiplicity. In the territory of the same city coexist wilaya, prefecture or province, municipality and urban community, urban agency and regional inspection of town planning. The multiplication of these institutional mechanisms requires, for their operation, considerable human and financial costs which largely exceed the capacities of the Moroccan State. Hence the difficulties and the slowness with which these territorial systems take shape on the ground, and multiple conflicts of competence between these different actors who dispute the urban field.

Responding to such a problem requires monitoring land use. In the downstream watersheds of Lom Pangar, the types of land use have been in perpetual dynamics since the 2000s. This dynamic is marked by the combination of several factors which are, among others, the overexploitation of natural resources induced by the water from the Lom Pangar hydroelectric dam in 2015. In this context, decision-making for the rational use of natural resources becomes difficult. In this sense, a study aimed at generating information on the evolution of the types of occupations in the downstream watersheds of Lom Pangar was carried out. The methodological approach consisted in the collection, processing and analysis of geospatial data. It emerges from this study that two (02) main factors are responsible for the dynamics of land use units in this space: the amplification of gold mining and the massive influx of fishermen in the locality of 'Ouami during and after the impoundment of the dam in 2015. It was after the impoundment that the types of land use experienced a considerable regressive dynamic. The average annual rate of change revealed that the land use units from 2013 to 2020 recorded the following values: buildings (21.44); bare ground (49.80); the forest\/gallery (-2.52); the wooded savannah (-6.96); shrubby savannah (-1.63); the grassy savanna\/field (5.65) and the body of water (47.71). This observation led to the implementation of the modeling of land cover types in 2030 through the CA_Markov algorithm. Thus, the land use units at the local scale will be as follows: the forest\/gallery (22.63%); the wooded savannah (19.44%); shrubby savannah (16.78%); grassy savannah\/field (0.92%) dead wood patches (9.50%); bare ground (0.29%); buildings (0.29%) and the body of water (30.15%). In this context, the establishment of a management plan becomes an emergency. <strong>Key words.

The methodology adopted focused on the counting of public transport vehicles and passengers at certain stops on the right bank and at Kalaban-Coro (chief town) during peak hours and on field surveys.\nThe study reveals that demand is not the same during working days and non-working days. Thus during working days from 6 am to 7 pm, we have 36,800 passengers against 19,912 vehicles at the stops and 13,646 passengers against 7,908 vehicles at the terminals. For non-working days we have 14,749 passengers against 8,901 vehicles at the stops and 4,984 passengers against 3,091 vehicles at the terminals.

But, this market is almost entirely under the control of customary owners and private land developers who take advantage of the laxity of the public authorities to develop their practices. The vitality of land tenure in these outlying areas of Yaounde and dictated by customary landowners and private developers is a handicap for development as land issues significantly limit the implementation of community infrastructure. The land is sold to the population without any standard, without any management plan, which leads to an anarchic occupation of peripheral areas. A situation which contributes not only to maintain the precariousness of the dwellings found there, but also to accentuate the socio-spatial inequalities which take as support the level general income of the populations, the status of the grounds, and even also the types materials used in the construction of these dwellings. <strong>Keywords.

From 2009 to 2020, the sector expanded from 21.56 to 39.12 km2, a gain of 17.56 km2. The location of facilities and the affordable cost of access to land and real estate have contributed to this development. This urbanization is developing at the expense of agricultural areas. Recurrent flooding, cholera epidemics, malfunctions of the two bridges and the insecurity situation caused by inappropriate parking and armed pursuits are the downside of this urbanization. <strong>Key words.

The resulting economic and demographic dynamics in turn modify the micro-climatic profile of regional urban centres such as Douala and Yaound\u00e9, among others. These observed intra-urban thermal variations lead to the questioning of urban planning issues in the face of a phenomenon that is growing over the years, thanks to geospatial modelling and planning tools, using the city of Douala (Littoral region) as a case study. To do this, the methodological approach takes into account two variables: qualitative (interviews with officials from MINDUH, MINTP, MINDCAF, town halls and 125 households in the city's six districts) and quantitative (based, in part, on satellite imagery in order to extract morphological, thermal and land-use indicators of the site collected over a 50-year period - 1971-2021). The preliminary results reveal a still limited consideration of the UHI phenomenon in urban planning. The accentuation of compact urban practices reinforces a deconstruction of the climatic parameters at the local scale, generating situations of thermal discomfort; disturbances which would be linked to the natural layout of the site, to the modes of construction of the habitat, to the spatial organisation of the city, to the artificialisation of the soil, to the vulnerability of the infrastructures and to the congestions linked to mobility. Nevertheless, the localized development of urban air-conditioning elements such as drains and natural spaces, among others, is necessary in order to associate mitigation and adaptation to the uncomfortable thermal amplitudes in the city of Douala. <strong>Key words.

Specifically, it was to assess the anthropogenic pressure linked to the supply of nitrogen from agricultural activities on the Songon Agricultural Watershed and to draw up the map of the specific vulnerability to pollution of groundwater by nitrates of the watershed. The functionalities offered by geographic information systems have enabled us to develop pollution vulnerability maps based on the methods of indexing and weighting environmental factors using the Susceptibility Index method. In fact, InPrAzot from the study area gives five (05) classes that range from very low with a nitrogen dose of 171,139.4 kg \/ year to very high with 2,909,369.3 kg \/ year as nitrogen dose. Also, the vulnerability mapping revealed five (05) vulnerability classes. The very low vulnerability class dominates with 40.28% of the basin area followed by the very high class with 30.20%. The low, medium and high vulnerability classes 6.23%, 7.87%, and 15.42%.

This study conducted in the upper B\u00e9nou\u00e9 Valley in Cameroon in a context of high climatic variability, progression of the agricultural pioneer front, and where more than 40% of the area of the territory is protected for its biodiversity, shows that global concerns about about climate change are not perceived as the main problem at the local level. We compared the perception of changes by the populations in their rural territories (semi-structured interviews) with environmental data measured at the station (rainfall) and by remote sensing (land cover from SPOT 2000, 2004 and 2012 images). It appears in the discourse of the locals that they perceive and experience environmental changes: the climate is changing, the human population is growing, you have to walk further and further to collect certain resources, wildlife is becoming scarce. Changes in land use, with in particular the densification of agricultural plots, are a major concern for all stakeholders, whether they are farmers, livestock breeders or protected area managers. This situation is confirmed by the analysis of satellite images which shows an extension of crops threatening the protection systems put in place within the framework of the land use plan (limits of the land, passage corridors for wildlife). Whether we are interested in one or another body of data or in a particular category of actor, it is not possible to consider only climate change without also taking into account anthropogenic factors. In the region studied, two major causes of environmental change have been identified: the climate (shortening of the rainy season, intervening droughts) and population growth. <strong>Key words.

Cameroon in this perspective has significant tourist resources which have earned it the name of \"Africa in miniature\" whose highlighting would inevitably contribute to its socio-economic development. But for more than five decades, Cameroon has been struggling to become a real tourist destination despite all the efforts made by the government and professionals in the tourism sector. In addition to the cyclical and structural constraints, a thorough analysis of the situation presents the inefficiency of traditional promotional media as one of the vectors of the lack of adequate visibility and branding of Cameroon's tourist offer on the world tourist market. However, in the context of globalization and in the face of technological advances, the need for accurate, up-to-date and real-time tourist information is imperative. From this context emerges the question of how to improve this visibility for more competitiveness on the world tourist market ? The objective of this study is to show the contribution of a Web-GIS to improving the visibility and Branding of Cameroon's tourist offer through the case of the city of Dschang in Western Cameroon. The methodological approach used to achieve this objective mobilizes the capitalization of data from the experiences of major world tourist destinations as well as field data collected and processed using the appropriate tools and software (Win Desing, PostgreSQL\/Pos GIS, XAMP, WordPress and Mapptizer V.13.03). The use of tools and techniques of Geographic Information Systems leads to three main results : (1) the constitution of a spatial database presenting the tourist offers and their characteristics, (2) the establishment of a Web -GIS as well as (3) the creation of a website to make visible and facilitate the Branding of the various tourist attractions. This device will allow tourists to access vital information for the choice of their destination in real time. Based on the above, Geographic Information Systems are therefore an important tool for presenting and branding the tourist offer of the city of Dschang and its surroundings in the context of globalization. They provide a very important global vision for the analysis, the management of the quality of service, the communication and the tourist promotion. They also allow better communication between these different actors (public and private) and organizations (Tourist Office, Travel Agencies) in charge of tourism in order to sell their tourist products as well as possible. The tourist and spatial database put in place proves to be a tool for understanding the territories, their state and their evolution in an environment where the tourist market is increasingly competitive. <strong>Key words.

The objective of this article is to make an inventory of the influx of Central African refugees and Chadian returnees from the CAR, mapping of humanitarian actors and discussing a typology of the various humanitarian actors, to analyze their role and their field of action and finally to analyze the basic health offer in refugee camps, returnee sites and host villages. To achieve this objective, we used a methodological apparatus that revolves around documentary research, observation, sampling, field survey, processing and analysis of data collected. Field data collected in refugee camps, returnee sites, and host villages as well as health data are entered and analyzed in SPSS 20.0 and Excel. The results obtained indicate that there are more needs for healthy populations but the medical responses provided are weak. Access to health care is limited by financial and geographic constraints, and insufficient human resources. There is also poor patient care due to the shortage of drugs and inputs in health structures and the level of equipment deemed too low to cope with this influx. <strong>Key words.

Through documentary research, field surveys of a sample of 100 farmers and heads of agricultural posts, and the analysis of rainfall data over 30 years, the effects of rainfall variability on agricultural activities have been analysed. The results obtained reveal that frequent rainfall disturbances characterized the years 2002, 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2019 which are less rainy years with an annual average rainfall not exceeding 600mm. The year 2017 is also very deficient with a rainfall of less than 400mm. The analysis of the K3 coefficient shows the trend towards an increase in the irregularity of the rains. It varies from 1.4662539 to 2.3357509 between the first decade and the third. Consequently, the cultivation of Sorghum under rain and dry season Sorghum whose average yields per hectare were 2 tons varies from 0.8 to 1T\/ha for Sorghum under rain and from 0.4 to 0.5T\/ha for dry season sorghum. As for maize, the yield goes from more than 1T\/ha under the exceptional rainfall conditions observed in 2012 to less than 0.5T\/ha under the current conditions of rainfall deficits. In view of this situation, promotion actions in terms of agricultural input allocations, technical assistance and securing of these activities should be set up by local leaders, public authorities in order to allow the survival of agriculture, which feeds not only the rural population but also the urban centres. <strong>Key words.

The Family Agriculture Resilience and Markets (AgriFARM) project is a project of Guinean government, jointly funded by IFAD, OFID and BADEA. It has a GIS linked to the Monitoring and Evaluation System. The project aims to disseminate information based on the spatial dimension and the Internet for access to the general public. This is why the choice of the theme \"Development of a geoportal to improve the dissemination of information, case of the AgriFARM project\". To achieve this, field and laboratory work is carried out either for the acquisition, processing of data, their integration into a database and a cartographic server for publication. Then a web platform is developed on the basis of specifications drawn up and taking into account user expectations. Eventually, the complete mapping of the project planning is done and integrated into a GIS database. Relevant information is selected for dissemination. The designed geoportal presents all the classic functions of interactive cartography. It is accessible to the general public on the internet at the address https:\/\/geo-agrifarm.com. <strong>Key words.

Les donn\u00e9es. L&rsquo;objectif du projet est d&rsquo;utiliser Google Earth Engine pour d\u00e9velopper divers produits et applications d&rsquo;observation de la Terre, avec les parties prenantes, qui pourraient \u00eatre utilis\u00e9s pour atteindre certains objectifs dans le cadre de leur mandat. La gestion des ressources naturelles est l&rsquo;un des domaines d&rsquo;application du projet qui se concentre sur la surveillance du couvert forestier et des changements dans la for\u00eat de la cha\u00eene des Aberdares, au Kenya. KSA en collaboration avec d&rsquo;autres institutions impliqu\u00e9es dans la gestion des for\u00eats a form\u00e9 une \u00e9quipe technique qui a travaill\u00e9 sur la production des produits n\u00e9cessaires au suivi des for\u00eats. Ces institutions comprenaient ; Service forestier du Kenya (KFS), Direction des enqu\u00eates sur les ressources et de la t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection (DRSRS), Minist\u00e8re de la d\u00e9fense (Soldat de l&rsquo;environnement), Autorit\u00e9 des ressources en eau (WRA), Organisation des Nations Unies pour l&rsquo;alimentation et l&rsquo;agriculture (ONU-FAO), Service de la faune sauvage du Kenya (KWS) et l&rsquo;Universit\u00e9 d&rsquo;agriculture et de technologie Jomo Kenyatta (JKUAT). Le projet a utilis\u00e9 Google Earth Engine pour traiter et analyser les produits. Les images sentinelles avec une r\u00e9solution spatiale de 10 m pour les ann\u00e9es 2016 et 2020 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme les donn\u00e9es sources. Des images composites sans nuages ont \u00e9t\u00e9 obtenues et trait\u00e9es \u00e0 l&rsquo;aide d&rsquo;un algorithme de classification supervis\u00e9e. Les livrables du projet \u00e9taient des cartes de la couverture terrestre, des cartes foresti\u00e8res non foresti\u00e8res et des informations statistiques sur la couverture de la r\u00e9gion d&rsquo;int\u00e9r\u00eat. Compte tenu des classes du GIEC, les classes de couverture terrestre captur\u00e9es comprenaient la classe For\u00eat (for\u00eat naturelle, for\u00eat de plantation et for\u00eat de bambous), la classe des terres cultiv\u00e9es et la classe des prairies (prairies ouvertes et prairies bois\u00e9es). Ce projet a d\u00e9termin\u00e9 que la for\u00eat d&rsquo;Aberdares couvre 225 738 hectares de terres. En 2020, 71 % de ces terres \u00e9taient sous couvert forestier (naturel, plantation et bambous) tandis que les 29 % restants \u00e9taient couverts par les autres classes d&rsquo;occupation du sol (terres cultiv\u00e9es, prairies ouvertes et prairies bois\u00e9es). Alors qu&rsquo;en 2016, 69% de ces terres \u00e9taient couvertes de for\u00eats tandis que les 31% restants \u00e9taient sous une couverture terrestre non foresti\u00e8re. Cela indique qu&rsquo;il y a eu une augmentation de 2% du couvert forestier pour la p\u00e9riode d&rsquo;\u00e9tude dans la for\u00eat de la cha\u00eene des Aberdares. L&rsquo;exercice a permis d&rsquo;obtenir une \u00e9valuation de la pr\u00e9cision de la classification de 88,27 % avec une valeur kappa de 0,85619. Le projet a donc illustr\u00e9 l&rsquo;utilisation des technologies de t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection pour surveiller la couverture et les transformations foresti\u00e8res au fil des ans afin d&rsquo;aider le processus de conservation et de gestion des for\u00eats du pays. En outre, le projet a d\u00e9montr\u00e9 comment diverses institutions peuvent travailler ensemble et conjuguer leurs efforts pour fournir des produits de meilleure qualit\u00e9 et plus complets. <strong>Key words: Earth Observation, MIDST, Google Earth Engine (GEE), Land cover, Accuracy assessment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>===============================================================<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"_ftn44\"><strong>Catalyser la recherche dans le secteur de l&rsquo;observation de la Terre au Kenya<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>KIRUI Joy Cherono (1)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>(1) Kenya Space Agency<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Abstract. <\/strong>L&rsquo;industrie spatiale a \u00e9volu\u00e9 au fil des ans et fait partie des industries \u00e0 la croissance la plus rapide au monde, cr\u00e9ant chaque jour des innovations et des opportunit\u00e9s d&#8217;emploi. La technologie spatiale joue un r\u00f4le essentiel dans le soutien du d\u00e9veloppement socio-\u00e9conomique et de la prise de d\u00e9cision fond\u00e9e sur les donn\u00e9es. Dans les pays en d\u00e9veloppement, la technologie spatiale a le potentiel de favoriser le d\u00e9veloppement et le progr\u00e8s dans l&rsquo;enseignement sup\u00e9rieur, la science, la technologie, la recherche et l&rsquo;innovation. En tant que pays en d\u00e9veloppement, le Kenya tient \u00e0 exploiter ce potentiel. Dans cette optique, le programme de subventions de recherche (RG) a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9velopp\u00e9. L&rsquo;objectif du programme RG est de catalyser et de promouvoir la recherche en sciences et technologies spatiales dans les universit\u00e9s locales du Kenya, ainsi que de renforcer nos capacit\u00e9s humaines dans ces disciplines. Le programme vise \u00e9galement \u00e0 contribuer au d\u00e9veloppement socio-\u00e9conomique du Kenya en \u00e9tablissant des liens entre le milieu universitaire et l&rsquo;industrie. Le programme a \u00e9t\u00e9 introduit en 2020-2021 en tant que 1er cycle. Pour continuer \u00e0 intensifier le d\u00e9veloppement des capacit\u00e9s et \u00e0 augmenter le nombre de praticiens dans le secteur spatial, un deuxi\u00e8me cycle du programme RG a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9velopp\u00e9 dans deux domaines de projet ; d\u00e9veloppement d&rsquo;un mod\u00e8le de nanosatellite 3U et cartographie des cultures \u00e0 petite \u00e9chelle \u00e0 l&rsquo;aide de l&rsquo;intelligence artificielle\/de l&rsquo;apprentissage automatique &#8211; Quatre institutions ont re\u00e7u chacune 5 000 USD. Le secteur agricole est l&rsquo;\u00e9pine dorsale de l&rsquo;\u00e9conomie du Kenya, contribuant \u00e0 environ 30% du PIB. L&rsquo;agriculture du Kenya est principalement pratiqu\u00e9e \u00e0 petite \u00e9chelle et dans des exploitations d&rsquo;une superficie moyenne inf\u00e9rieure \u00e0 un hectare, principalement \u00e0 des fins de subsistance. Le plan strat\u00e9gique de l&rsquo;Agence spatiale du Kenya pour 2020-2025 envisage l&rsquo;utilisation des donn\u00e9es et de la technologie satellitaire pour \u00e9clairer le processus d\u00e9cisionnel. La cartographie des cultures \u00e0 l&rsquo;aide des donn\u00e9es de t\u00e9l\u00e9d\u00e9tection est l&rsquo;un des moyens les plus efficaces d&rsquo;estimer la superficie cultiv\u00e9e, les rendements des cultures et d&rsquo;\u00e9valuer la situation de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 alimentaire dans le pays, plus particuli\u00e8rement en ce qui concerne l&rsquo;agriculture \u00e0 petite \u00e9chelle. Cependant, ces donn\u00e9es n\u00e9cessitent des techniques de traitement raisonnablement \u00e9lev\u00e9es avec des processus math\u00e9matiques complexes qui peuvent \u00eatre r\u00e9alis\u00e9s en utilisant des techniques d&rsquo;intelligence artificielle\/apprentissage automatique (IA\/ML). L&rsquo;objectif principal de ce projet est d&rsquo;explorer comment l&rsquo;IA\/ML peut \u00eatre entra\u00een\u00e9e pour apprendre et extraire automatiquement des informations \u00e0 partir de donn\u00e9es par des m\u00e9thodes informatiques et statistiques. En tant que nation \u00e9mergente de car\u00e9nage spatial, le programme RG est le premier programme du genre \u00e0 promouvoir la recherche et l&rsquo;innovation dans le secteur spatial et \u00e0 nourrir les talents locaux en travaillant avec le milieu universitaire. Le programme a donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 des innovations qui ont profit\u00e9 \u00e0 la communaut\u00e9 et cr\u00e9\u00e9 une prise de conscience des applications li\u00e9es \u00e0 l&rsquo;espace. L&rsquo;un des principaux enseignements du programme est que les institutions ont eu besoin d&rsquo;un renforcement des capacit\u00e9s et d\u2019un mentorat suppl\u00e9mentaire pendant la dur\u00e9e du projet. Une recommandation serait d&rsquo;investir davantage dans le programme en y int\u00e9grant des partenaires techniques et financiers du secteur priv\u00e9. <strong>Key words.
