This publication collects the results of a practical experience of
survey, through the direct control of satellite images from high to
medium resolution, over areas subjected to desertification
problems. The problems of the local population are closely tied to
the equilibrium in the management of the territory, which is
compromised by the difficulties of maintaining traditional
methodologies of management. The new survey technologies, based on
the Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System, allow
analyzing the details of the present situation and point out the
dynamism of the phenomena and the impacts with anthropogenic
activities.
Training has been carried out in the Tozeur area, in central
Tunisia, where participants had the chance to analyze on the field
a series of different aspects. It has also been possible to discuss
similar experiences in distant territories and the importance of
the physical processes of desertification. During the development
of the intensive training on the job, visits to entrepreneurial
truths concerning the management of the territory have been carried
out. The analyzed area finds in tourism an answer to the
necessities of improving the living conditions of the
population.
Specialists from twelve nations presented actions of management
of the territory, with detailed attention on environmental security
and the conditions of the territory. From the observations carried
out the fragility of the landscape of the oases has emerged, which
are subjected to total anthropogenic management and therefore
closely linked to the availability of the specialized workers in
the traditional methodologies. It is natural that the management of
the lands changesaccording to modern technologies, but, with a too
fast pace, this evolution risks to upset the management of the
territory. The exchange of information, the ability to map the
variations, the dialogue between the parts, will favor the
maintenance of the political security in the Mediterranean region.
This experience of cooperation and association constitutes a
precedent for the development of a system of high education courses
to be provided to the local communities for the common
wellbeing.
