Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore ways able to improve the quality of urban public space, called “place of camels”, and located in the center of the city of Bechar, southwest of Algeria.This is to ensure the physical and psychological comfort to citizens, who can no longer use their outdoor space. This is because the environment should in principle allow them the rustling of otherness, recreation, entertainment, is not only poorly structured, but its climate is more arid winter and oppressive heat of summer, not to mention the security that is lacking in these areas.We relied primarily on the major theories of Kevin Lynch, improving the image and the safety of public spaces in the city, as well as strategies bioclimatic that serve to mitigate the atmosphere of this harsh environment, to make the public use throughout the year.
