For a Patrimonialization of the Rhumel’s Gorges in Constantine, Evaluation of the Actor’s Game in the Rehabilitation Project of the Tourist Path

Abstract

This article addresses the problem of the patrimonialization of a natural and very famous site in Algeria; the Rhumel gorges in Constantine. The objective is the evaluation within the framework of a prospective vision of the game of actors intervening in the project of rehabilitation of the path of the tourists; a tourist circuit skirting the bottom of the gorges.The study is articulated around two main axes: the first presents the patrimonial and tourist characteristics of the gorges of the Rhumel and the problem related to the project of rehabilitation of the Tourist trail.The second one gives the results of the application of the Mactor method which, thanks to associated software, analyzes the interactions between the actors facing several determined objectives. It identifies the influences, dependencies, power relationships, convergences, and divergences that condition the success of the project.The results show a diversity of actors, aiming at a multitude of objectives whose strategies are not really visible. Nevertheless, they reveal several points in which the behaviors, attitudes, actions, and involvement of the actors are the variables.
