Authors : Naidja Amina .

Abstract

The human settlement can be considered as a specific historical creation; it has not always existed however appeared at a certain moment in the societies evolution, and can disappear, or be radically changed at another moment. The anthropology of space is interested in the representation, production and social use of human space, just like the cognitive sciences. In this regard, we attempt over this study to analyze the anthropology of Saharan human settlement (The city of Ghardaïa). The results reveal that social ties and human needs are determining factors in the morphology of Saharan human settlements.
