- Descripción
- The spatial growth of cities in Africa in general and in Chad in particular has occurred quickly and dramatically. This is caused by several factors with numerous consequences and raises enormous challenges, including the expansion of cities into nearby countryside. The town of Sarh located in the southeast of the Middle Chari region in Chad has experienced rapid urbanization which has led to its expansion. This gave rise to a phenomenon of land transactions on the outskirts of the city. This article, which opens a new vision in the in-depth study of urban dynamics, aims to provide a good analysis of the governance of agricultural land in the urban and peripheral areas of Sarh and ends with a certain number of proposals for a sustainable agricultural land release. This research is the result of a direct geo-political fieldwork observation of a problem which is not specific to Sarh, but which is growing. For this, the materials used are, among others: field trips, observation, field surveys, consultation of works that deal with the theme and the laboratory. They approach the work from a descriptive angle by describing the facts that we then observed to establish a relationship and by carrying out a retrospective analysis on the problem that the subject deals with. As part of this work, our methodology is essentially structured in stages, of which we have therefore used the hypothetical-deductive approach. This is based on methods aimed at verifying our hypotheses and achieving our objectives. This is already what has allowed us to affirm that Chadian agriculture contributes to the economy, especially its large share in the formation of (GDP) Gross Domestic Product estimated at 43%, of which 40% comes from food production, and 3% from cash crops, including urban crops. This is why it is a major provider of employment which occupies around 80% of the country's active population, more than half of which is made up of women. Urbanization has been recognized not only as a major challenge, but also as an opportunity to be seized to make urban land accessible and transparent with a view to promoting agricultural development, social integration and environmental sustainability in the context of cities of the future. In our observation, we realize that the environmental threat in Sarh is real. This is why it is essential to make the most of this urban spatial growth of our cities.
El crecimiento espacial de las ciudades en África en general, y en Chad en particular, se ha producido de forma rápida y drástica. Esto se debe a diversos factores con numerosas consecuencias y plantea enormes desafíos, incluyendo la expansión de las ciudades hacia las zonas rurales cercanas. La ciudad de Sarh, ubicada al sureste de la región de Chari Medio en Chad, ha experimentado una rápida urbanización que ha propiciado su expansión. Esto ha dado lugar a un fenómeno de transacciones de tierras en las afueras de la ciudad. Este artículo, que abre una nueva perspectiva en el estudio profundo de las dinámicas urbanas, busca proporcionar un análisis exhaustivo de la gobernanza del suelo agrícola en las zonas urbanas y periféricas de Sarh y concluye con una serie de propuestas para una disponibilidad sostenible del suelo agrícola. Esta investigación es el resultado de una observación geopolítica directa sobre el terreno de un problema que no es específico de Sarh, pero que está en auge. Para ello, se utilizaron, entre otros, visitas de campo, observación, encuestas de campo, consulta de trabajos que abordan el tema y prácticas de laboratorio. Abordan el trabajo desde una perspectiva descriptiva, describiendo los hechos observados para establecer una relación y realizando un análisis retrospectivo del problema que aborda el tema. Como parte de este trabajo, nuestra metodología se estructura esencialmente en etapas, por lo que hemos utilizado el enfoque hipotético-deductivo. Este se basa en métodos destinados a verificar nuestras hipótesis y alcanzar nuestros objetivos. Esto nos ha permitido afirmar que la agricultura chadiana contribuye a la economía, especialmente por su importante participación en la formación del PIB, estimado en un 43%, del cual el 40% proviene de la producción alimentaria y el 3% de cultivos comerciales, incluidos los urbanos. Por ello, es una importante fuente de empleo, ocupando a alrededor del 80% de la población activa del país, más de la mitad de la cual son mujeres. La urbanización se ha reconocido no solo como un gran desafío, sino también como una oportunidad que debe aprovecharse para hacer accesible y transparente el suelo urbano con miras a promover el desarrollo agrícola, la integración social y la sostenibilidad ambiental en el contexto de las ciudades del futuro. En nuestra observación, nos damos cuenta de que la amenaza ambiental en Sarh es real. Por eso es esencial aprovechar este crecimiento espacial urbano de nuestras ciudades.
