Mobility Practice, What Solutions to Ensure the Safety of The Surroundings of Schools? Case Study: Tarek Ibn Ziad School, Guelma

Abstract

The school is the primordial nucleus of society, inscribed in the city, in the neighbourhood. On this scale, taking into account road safety around schools and on home-school journeys is a priority. This problematic was applied to the primary school of "TAREK IBN ZIAD" in Guelma city that is located near the primary roads characterized by dense road traffic and mobility practice which cannot be marginalized. This work aims to improve a feeling of belonging and social security, and also, strengthening mitigation measures or setting up specific programs to improve security. To properly conduct this scientific research, an inventory (diagnosis) must be established around the school and its surroundings. Collection of data was based on: a direct observation, a school survey by questionnaire, a series of interviews involving all the actors concerned as sources of information. The results obtained confirm the marginalized situation of the school surroundings. The vast majority of the participants stressed the need to work in partnership with all stakeholders to find sustainable solutions to this recurring problem.
