115. Reboul, C. "Danger d'oasis? Al6as d'une politique de sedentarisation.
Le forage de Labgar au S6ngal," Civilisations (Brussels)
28(1/2) 1978, pp. 120-139.
Area discussed is in the wooded pastoral region of Diourbel.
Since 1952, the drilling post at Labgar has provided an abundant
water supply to the rural community and their livestock. The
government, attempting to preserve the character of the region,
has deterred groundnut cultivation in the areas so as not to
compete with livestock production. This policy has encouraged
increased fodder production, the result of which has been serious
damage to the balance of the physical environment. The mismanagement
of the land resources at Labgar, where a large population
intensively cultivates a concentrated land area, leads the author
to conclude that rather than an oasis, the area has become a
desert.
116. Sall, A. "Quel am6nagement pastoral pour le Sahel?" Tiers Monde,
19(73) 1978, pp. 161-169.
This study focuses on pastoralism in the Senegalese Sahel
where over-grazing has become a social and economic problem. It
is concluded that the only solution lies in the establishment of
land use laws which extend grazing in certain areas and limit it
in others. Peasant participation in development of the proposed
scheme is seen as essential; the author also urges that the
peasants be integrated more fully into socio-economic development
activities so as to reduce ther dependency upon pastoralism.
