The project according to the Plan d’Aménagement Urbain

Within the Plan d’Aménagement Urbain, it’s possible to find the landscape classification of the project settlement environments:

1) Zn (site naturel classèe) areas 1.3- 3.1- 3.2

2) UPa2 (ensemble historique et traditionelle de Sidi Bou Said) areas 1.1- 1.2

3) Za (zone arquéologiques non aedificandi classées) areas 2.2.12.2.2- 2.2.3- 2.2.4- 2.2.5

4) Zp (zone portuaire) area 3.3

• Plan d’Aménagement Urbain directions

1) Area Zn

This is the area of Amilcar subject to forest regime, and at the same time classified as archaeological but not excavated. This area, which covers about 28 hectares, is an extremely fragile natural environment that suffers continuous degradation in the form of erosion and landslides, particularly due to deforestation and stormwater runoff. The implementation of a program aimed at its protection and implementation of vegetation cover is required. Any other form of land use is prohibited. Existing constructions may be subject to maintenance, restoration and renovation, but without any form of expansion to the detriment of forested or reforested areas.Due to its dual protection as an archaeological area and a fragile natural site, this area is governed by Decree No. 85-1246 of October 7, 1985 on the classification of the Carthage site.

2) Area UPa2

The designation UPa2 refers to the old center of the village of Sidi Bou Said, corresponding to the historic site classified as delimited by the Carthage and Sidi Bou Said site classification plan annexed to Decree No. 85-1246 of October 7, 1985 on the classification of the Carthage site, as amended and supplemented by subsequent texts. This area is governed by the mentioned decree as well as the Beylical decree of August 6, 1915.

3) Area Za

The acronym Za denotes the classified but unexcavated archaeological sites as indicated by the classification plan of the Carthage and Sidi Bou Said sites annexed to Decree No. 85-1246 of October 7, 1985 on the classification of the Carthage site, as amended and supplemented by subsequent texts. This area is governed by the provisions of the mentioned decree as well as those of the Beylical of August 06, 1915.

4) Area Zp

This is an area assigned to a marina granted to the ONTT. Any intervention within the port enclosure must comply with the regulations governing the Port State Property.

The proposed project respects the instrictions of the Plan d’Amènagement Urbain de Carthage. But, the classic method of zoning in the way of « The Plan d’Aménagement Urbain » of Tunisia fragments the urban spatial perception and does not take into consideration the territorial complexity. So, we propose to work with the Macro ambienti insediativi, wich allow us to make a strategic spatial reading of the studied territory to highlight the poles of territorial potentiality that impact our context.
