Abstract EN

Our study aims to examine the mineral baths that the city of Bouhanifia has, and what the warm springs running inside this city play in the construction of urban spaces over time, which had an effective role in creating an anthropological dynamism with its social, cultural, economic, symbolic and ritual dimensions.

The study found that the ecological variable, represented by the spring water of the city of Bouhanifa, contributed mainly to the formation of a functional social structure that represents the identity of a community that frequents mineral baths, with a durability that makes it preserves its popular cultural heritage embodied in the practices, rituals and anthropological symbolism, and makes the person imbued with a bathing culture.

He excelled in building aesthetics for the urban bathhouse, which is an icon of the urban space of the city, to conclude that the ecological dimension has contributed to the stabilization of a society's culture in its popular memory, in both its material and immaterial parts.
