This paper is about the concept of the greenways in
Tunisia, defined as a structure allowing to connect the green spaces between
them. Two steps have been applied to assess the use of greenway concept in
Tunisia and especially in Sousse city. The first one shows Tunisian
administrative documents recount and the second one explains
the spatial distribution of Sousse city greenways using GIS software. The
examination of the planning of the green spaces in Tunisia, either through the
documents of town planning or through the specific programs, allowed us to
reveal the place of this notion in the Tunisian political speech and to
conclude that the notion of greenways and its foundations, is missing in the
documents of town planning, in the Tunisian environmental policy (Green Plan of
Grand Sousse) even if the use of the term "greenways" is not really
explicit. Then, it is our belief that there is a great potential in Tunisia for
the adoption of greenways as a planning alternative, and tools such as the GIS
environment can contribute significantly to this
effort.
