Impacts sur l’attraction et la vitalité territoriales des fêtes et festivals de Kabylie

Abstract

As events contributing to the distinction of territories in the competition that they are engaged to retain their inhabitants and attract visitors, fairs and festivals are the object of an attention of the researchers only since about twenty years. Following the example of other populations of the countries of the South, villagers of Kabylia try to revitalize the local development following the failure of the public policies. But to what extent? Are these efforts fruitful? After examination, it appears that if all the aimed objectives are not reached, these initiatives contributed to increase the available resources for the development of the concerned regions.
