L’observation courante de notre environnement écologique et les éléments qui le constituent (air, eau, terre..), nous invitent à réfléchir sur son avenir et surtout sur le capital naturel que nous transférerons aux générations futures : Des ressources hydrauliques surexploitées, de l’air pollué, des zones rurales détruites par l’agression de l’urbanisation, des océans et des mers polluées, des ressources minières et énergétiques maladroitement utilisées, de la faune et de la flore en voie de d’extinction… C’est malheureusement, le souvenir d’une terre agréable à vivre qui sera décrite par nos historiens et scientifiques et constituera l’unique richesse de nos générations futures. Après la  sensibilisation de  l’homme  à tous  ces problèmes environnementaux et aux dégâts de ses activités économiques sur son environnement, le passage aux actions correctives s’est juste nécessaire.

The introduction of this course sets the stage for understanding the various dimensions of economic activities and their impact on geographical space. It serves as a foundation for delving into the definitions and concepts that underpin the study of activities and their organization within different spatial contexts.


Moving into the first axis, which is focused on agricultural activity, students explore the diverse forms of agriculture, ranging from traditional to modern methods, extensive to intensive practices, and the crucial role of livestock farming. Additionally, attention is given to fishing, aquaculture, and forestry, highlighting the significance of these sectors in economic development and spatial organization.


The axis then transitions to a discussion on Algerian agriculture, providing insight into the specific context and challenges faced within the Algerian agricultural sector.

Shifting gears, the course delves into industrial activity, beginning with definitions and classifications, followed by an exploration of its genesis and the transformative effects of phenomena such as the Industrial Revolution and globalization. The relationship between industry and geographical space is examined, including factors influencing industrial location, its impact on urban and rural areas, and the dynamics of regional integration.

Finally, the axis concludes with a focus on services, emphasizing their importance and diverse classifications. Students learn about the typology of tertiary activities and the phenomenon of urban tertiaryization, which reflects the growing dominance of service-oriented economies in urban areas and its implications for spatial organization and development.
