| Summary: | The Moroccan regional planning was often marked by security concerns, based on historic inheritances of conflicting relations between central authority and tribes. This analysis focused on history/space and security has lead to the marginalization of some regions, in particular the mountain considered as "useless" space. Since the creation of a Ministry of regional planning, a new consciousness has appeared. In this context, the development of an atlas of landscapes may constitute an opportunity, the landscape becoming a way to think, in a different way, the everyday life territory. It also may constitute a new tool to assist in the decision-making and the promotion of local potentialities for local and public actors, decision-makers, and to encourage the emergence of a territorial perception and consciousness. This atlas raises numerous linguistic and conceptual questions necessary to define a coherent content in adequacy with the local specificities and culture. Conscious of the limits and gaps, result of the simple transposition of this westerner concept of landscape, we have put in evidence the existence of a landscape culture peculiar to this country with its local and regional specificities.
