إدارة مخاطر الكوارث الطبيعية في الجزائر : دراسة تحليلية نقدية

Abstract EN

The herein study focuses on disasters' risk management in Algeria, in order to look for the real reasons which led to growing up human and material losses.

although, the tendency of disasters' aftermath is worldwide increasing, the situation in Algeria is critical and pushes to an inquiry about the reasons that hinder the risk prevention system from working, even if it existed since 1985, and prevented it from playing an efficient role in terms of disaster risk management to proactively respond against great natural risks and limit their destructive effects.

consequently, the article has depended on an analytical and critical approach leading to the conclusion that there exists a clear mapping of the great potential risks, along with the existence of legal texts and institutions of risk management, but the aftermaths of natural disasters have remarkably been moving up.

it also clearly shows the absence of risk management policies, and a non- rigorous application of the existing laws, that disenabled the institutions meant to prevent disasters, resulting in a terrible vulnerability towards disasters that made their prevention or even their risk reduction merely impossible.
