Rapport final SAREMCI

After analyzing relevant legal texts, the study concluded that the lands of the former SAREMCI zone are private lands of the State. Some of these lands are part of the rural domain of the State, as defined by Law No. 98-750 of December 23, 1998, relating to the rural domain, while others are part of the urban domain of the State, particularly of local authorities due to texts related to the transfer of competences to local authorities. The legal regime and the modalities of territorial planning applicable to this area depend on the attachment of the lands to the urban, rural, or mining zone. Several scenarios were proposed, emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of each. The option that emerges as the most advantageous, considering its participatory and global nature, is planning within the framework of the commune. This planning should be based on the Strategic Development Plan, which remains the tool that best meets the needs of the Project. The advantages of this option include the fact that the PSD goes further than the PUD and takes into account all aspects of the economic development of the commune, combining natural resources and human resources. It does not limit itself to the sole aspect of urbanization.
