| Résumé : | The environmental study concerned with the planning scheme for Kenitra (Morocco) includes a biological evaluation, a landscape evaluation, and a bioclimatological approach to define the constraints and planning potentialities. Ground occupation and forms of vegetation have been mapped (200 km2) and climatic data collected along traverses through the investigated area. The high littoral dunes reduce the oceanic influence. A slight heat island has been observed and comfortable zones identified during the warm season. The most comfortable areas have abundant shade, abundant vegetation, available water, and light movements of air. Integration of the biotic, scenic and bioclimatic observations allow a crucial examination of, and improvement in, the urban arrangement, and allow proposals to be made concerning unification of the landscape so that authenticity may be preserved and qualities developed. © 1982. |
