Parcours migratoire et mode de cession foncière des fronts pionniers ivoiriens
Abstract
Migratory Route and Mode of Land Sale of Ivorian Pioneer Fronts. Côte d'Ivoire, due to its climate, geographical location and recent history, remains a country of high immigration. According to data from the General Population and Housing Census (RGPH), 2014, the proportion of the non-Ivorian population constitutes a quarter of the total population, with proportions of 22% in 1975, 28% in 1988, 26 % in 1998 and 24% in 2014. Thus three pioneer fronts emerge from this population migration: the Southeast, the Center-West and the Southwest. Is it the hardening of the mode of land cession of the pioneer fronts? Are we going to see a process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of the different pioneer fronts through the migratory route? Finally, are the rural Ivorian societies in general and the Ivorian pioneer fronts in particular a model of integration? An ethnographic survey on the ground, based on the stories of migrant life of the former pioneer front (Côte d'Ivoire South-East), Central-West Côte d'Ivoire and the new pioneer front in south-west Ivory Coast, should allow understanding the factors of migration of populations.
