(Skikda Environment Department, 2008)
As for population growth on the Skikda coast, it has more than quadrupled since
independence between 1960 and 2017 (from 233 to 1,344 hectares).The factors behind this
growth are the migration flows, and the industrialization.
This population growth is associated with urban expansion to the detriment of rural and
agricultural areas, and from a spatial point of view it has an impact on the development of
consumption of natural resources and mainly increases tensions on agricultural land. Figure
15 shows the evolution of the urbanization perimeter of the city of Skikda between 1970 and
2017.
In 2017, the area of urban areas was close to that of agricultural areas, under the pressure of
growing social demand, urban expansion took place at the expense of the best peri-urban
agricultural land (Hadef, 2011).
