RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The site (Br) is under moderate pressure. The fishing port of Bouharoun, 3.23km away,
has little impact. Agricultural land use also exerts moderate pressure. This site is also affected
by the industrial activity of the town of Bou Ismail, 8.77km away. It also faces moderate
pressure from artificial structures (a pier, 3.93km away).
Despite the presence of the industrial zone in the town of Bou Ismail, the site (BSM) faces
only moderate pressures. It also faces moderate pressure from artificial structures (beach
protection works), urban and agricultural land use. The fishing port of Khemisti has a low
impact on this site. As for the Oued Mazafran, it exerts a moderate pressure on the site.
The two sites (LP) and (AB) are under moderate pressure from heavy urbanization. They
are also under moderate pressure due to their proximity to the Oued Beni Messous, the presence
of an industrial zone and the artificial beach at Aïn Benian. The fishing port of El Djamila exerts
a low pressure on the sites.
The site (PP) is under moderate pressure due to its proximity to the Raïs Hamidou cement
factory. It is also moderately affected by urbanization, its proximity to the commercial port of
Algiers and the presence of artificial structures: the El Kettani beach protection structures in
Bab El Oued. On the other hand, the Oued El Harrach and the Raïs Hamidou fishing shelter
exert a low pressure on the station.
The site (AG) is under moderate pressure, mainly from the Rouiba-Réghaïa industrial
zone. It is also subject to moderate pressures caused by: the proximity of the Réghaïa lake
mouth, the artificial structures of Aïn Taya coast and the agricultural occupation of the land.
For both variants (according to land use estimation), the sites (LP) and (AB) show the
highest pressure index (Tables 8 and 9). In fact, both variants show the same trend for all sites,
with a slight increase in the enthronization index calculated using Lopez's original method
(Figure 8).
