Abstract

This paper tries to show in a convincing way the existingrelationship between climate as factor and the process of development. The space on which our observations are based offers very favourable climatic conditions but a low level of development compare to its real potentialities. The essential part of the economic activity in certain localities in South - west province is observed in dry season which only lasts three to four months. This situation obliges a great part of the working population to migrate to find employments elsewhere. The forsaken localities are marginalized more and fall into ruin. Thanks to the analysis of the available data on our studied zone and thanks to remote sensing, the link which exists between climate and the process of development is clearly established. The role of the climate is dual. We think that the climate is a factor of enhancement. Its real influence depends on the total context in which it acts. This influence can be positive and in this case the climate becomes an element which supports the development. On the other hand where political, technological, social choices do not totally cop with the global context, including natural environment, the effects of the climate can be devastators; it thus deviate an agent of destruction and a factor of under development and poverty.
