L’espace public en Algérie : le désintérêt privé (beylick) comme produit du contrôle public
Public spaces in Algeria are characterized by the strong lack of interest among people who rely entirely on public authority. Not any tendency here to make of it a common good. The purpose of the paper is to exhibit the extent of popular indifference from in situ observations in Algiers and to explain this attitude through historical analysis.
Indeed, the collective imaginary and practices have not always been insensitive to public spaces. On the contrary, in traditional rural society, public spaces were perceived as a continuity of domestic space. The peasant was obliged to take charge of its maintenance as well as for his home, his intimate space.
To understand the later behavioral evolution, we must refer to the Ottoman and colonial domination processes. Each period had its own way of considering public spaces, but the urban management systems have always been based on a discrimination policy against natives and a strict control of the public spaces to the point of making them appear as the State property in the collective mentality. This perception of a grabbing of public spaces by the Turkish governor (Beylik) and later by the French colonial administration (for security reasons) has led amongst city dwellers to a feeling of exclusion and a disaffection that still characterize their attitude today.

L’ÉVOLUTION DIACHRONIQUE DES INTÉRACTIONS URBANISATION / COURS D’EAU. CAS DE LA VILLE DE BEJAÏA (LITTORAL ALGÉRIEN)
he diachronic evolution of the urbanization/riverways interactions. The case of the city of Bejaïa (the
Algerian Coast). In the Mediterranean city of Bejaïa, the urban phenomenon has had, over the centuries, certain
repercussions on the natural spaces, in particular those of the river environments, which are numerous in this
city. This work aims to study this phenomenon from two perspectives, namely the geographical and temporal
space. Spatial urban interventions in Bejaïa represent the material to be studied; as for time, it is considered the
unit of measurement of urban evolution and the changes it causes to rivers. Thanks to a geo-historical method,
we will direct our research towards the exposure of the influences exerted by the urban phenomenon on the waterways
of the study area, from the creation of the city to present day. The objective of this theoretical presentation is to
summarize the transformations of the links between urbanization and the hydrology of the study area.

Spacing Hinterland Water for Algiers City (Algeria)
Of all the kinds of relationship, the one that links man with water is considered as profound and serious in geographical surveys. Yet in the past, the greatest threat to agriculture was a major problem, the attention of people is now captured by water in cities. The increasing need of water in Algiers is due to the growth of population and urbanism. On the other hand, there is a rise in water needs per capita. This problem didn't arise during the last decades, but today the situation is no longer the same. It's a considerable challenge for the capital Algiers, especially for the next generations. Using a geo-history method, which consists in studying the evolution of hinterland water space in time, we will direct our research towards the exposure of the influences exerted by the increase of water needs in the zone of study. The finality of the work is to identify the water resources around the Algiers City and that arises from the spacing of evolution hinterland water. We will obtain valuable information about the extension, the distance of the hinterland water supplier from the city of Algiers. The expected results of this work is to determine the hinterland which can be counted on to supply the city of Algiers with drinking water in the medium and long term. Finally, we can think of hydraulic planning and development based on the principles of sustainable development. This with the aim of proposing solutions to current problems and ensuring the needs of future generations.
