Extraction of built space and analysis of urbanization dynamics from processing of satellite images within a medium-sized city: Case of Jendouba

The urban fact is diluted, mutated following the interventions of development actors and to the detriment of Public Utility Easements. The use of mapping and remote sensing is essential for the detection and understanding of the trajectory of urban development. Urbanization within the city of Jendouba was triggered during the colonial period while taking a linear form according to the land communication axes, in particular the railway network. The typology of housing and changes in land use are at the origin of the development of the urban fact.
