Abstract

El Hajjaj” is one of the ethnic communities of Central Middle Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Forests, common rangelands and private cultivated areas compose its territory. However, the proportion of common rangelands and cultivated areas has changed through time, under the influence of social and economic factors. The aim of the present research is to determine the changes in land cover within the territory of “El Hajjaj’’, from a diachronic analysis of land cover maps.The research is based on the exploitation of data from Landsat image from 1987 and Spot images from 2012. The mapping of land cover reveals the expansion of cultivated areasat the expense of common rangelands, related to economic factors and deep changes in the community-based management system of pastoral resources. The emergence of arboriculture as a new agricultural speculationacceleratedthisphenomenon. Indeed, 90 % of common rangelands are transformed into cultivated areas mainly occupied by orchards of rosacea.
