| description | From a sustainable development perspective, becoming aware of the
preservation of green spaces and the creation of green infrastructure is a
great challenge for the Algerian arid city, especially in the arid
environment. Green infrastructure is multifunctional open space networks
aimed at sustainable resource management and environmental improvement. We
chose the city of Bou-saada as a case study to demonstrate the need for
green infrastructure. This city, with a semi-arid climate, presents a very
varied, complex and fragile historical, archeological and natural richness
subjected to strong anthropogenic pressures. The overall objective of this
research is to assess green infrastructure in the city of Bou-saada using a
qualitative barometer. This method uses several themes around the concept of
multifunctionality and thermal comfort, also using some subthemes to break
down the themes. Green infrastructure in the city of Bou-saada can withstand
the drought and heat emanating from this area, provide shade and reduce
heat, prevent soil degradation and desertification by stabilizing the soil
and mitigating wind-induced erosion. Through this research, we have also
looked at several issues such as safeguarding the natural heritage,
combating desertification, and siltation. |
