TOWARDS A BETTER ECOLOGY OF URBAN MOBILITY: THE CASE OF THE CITY OF CONSTANTINE, ALGERIA

Abstract

With the expansion of the city of Constantine in Algeria, a major problem is the issue of daily mobility and its coverage by transportation networks. Many inhabitants of the suburbs, for whom commuting is required, make long and costly daily journeys to work or to run errands. In this paper, we focus on the improvement and modernisation of urban transportation in this city. This work aims to facilitate and qualify people’s urban mobility by helping them travel under the best possible conditions from point A or “origin”, to point B or “destination”. This study is intended primarily for urban transport users in Constantine. The technique we envisioned was a questionnaire carried out via the Google Forms service, processed using data processing software and analysed according to prioritisation series. To represent this data and facilitate reading and analysis, we used tables and cross-tabulations. This allowed us to have a clear picture of the problems raised by users. Thus, it is possible to propose the right ideas in terms of the optimal tasks for the operators and the right travel conditions for the users, or even to find common relationships between the organisations and their environment.
