      abstract = {This article aims to help the governance of peri-urban  land conflicts from an approach focused on the control of  urban sprawl, which is the paramount characteristic of  Yamoussoukro, the political Capital City of Côte d'Ivoire.  The study starts with a prospective approach to this  phenomenon to identify prospects for a sustainable conflict  resolution. It therefore comes within the framework of the  quest for a spatial cohesion to lead to social cohesion  that is today undermined by a rampant urbanization. Our  proactive approach is based on the principles of  participatory governance to analyze the issue of urban  sprawl and the conflicts it generates on the urban  periphery. The results have revealed that the city expanded  from 1,083 ha in 1970 to 30,452 ha today. This strong  spatial growth to the detriment of rural lands accounts for  the recurrence of land conflicts in the villages.},
