Abstract: (french)
Le Tafilalet, circuit des oasis, est situé au Sud-Est du Maroc correspond à la Wilaya Draa-Tafilalet. Elle regroupe les provinces : Midelt, Errachidia, Zagora, Tinghir et Ouarzazate. La province d’Errachidia, zone d’étude, renferme dans son découpage administratif les municipalités suivantes : Errachidia, Goulmima, Tinjdad, Erfoud, Errissani et Boudnib. La région d’Errachidia, constitue de trois principales entités géomorphologiques du Nord au Sud : le Haut-Atlas Jurassique carbonaté, le bassin crétacé Boudnib-Ouarzazate à Oasis caractéristiques de cette zone bioclimatique ressemblant aux « iles dans le désert saharien » et la chaine Anti-Atlasique dominée par un socle précambrien qui supporte à son dos une couverture épaisse du Paléozoïque. Dans la littérature touristique du Maroc et dans de nombreux sites web nationaux et internationaux, font référence aux paysages les plus attractifs dans le sud marocain, parmi lesquels les géomorphosites de la province d’Errachidia, réputée par une géologie très diversifiée, une géomorphologie très contrastée offrant des paysages superbes sculptés par de nombreuses phases érosives météoriques depuis le début du Plio-Quaternaire, parsemés de plusieurs oasis endémiques. Telle est la raison principale de ce travail de recherche dans une optique de promouvoir un géo-écotourisme pour le développement durable de cette région. Plusieurs circuits touristiques traversent la zone d’étude. Elle présente deux itinéraires importants tels que : le circuit Amellagou-Tinjdad et le circuit Errachidia-Ettaous. En se plaisant du tourisme de montagne du Haut-Atlas des communes rurales d’Amellagou et d’Aghbalou N’kerdous, nous allons passer en revue quelques aspects sommaires de sites naturels de ce domaine présaharien méritant des visites guidées notamment des géomorphosites hydrogéologiques et karstiques, suivant la route serpente de l’oued Gheris, apparait de son côté, un paysage géomorphologique nommé « Asdram » d’une distance d’observation importante offre une belle vision sur le synclinorium infracénomanien.et en arrivant au Sud, des géomorphosites de type sédimentologiques notamment les dépôts de couches travertineuses près de l’émergence des sources. On propose pour ce trajet touristique de faire connaitre une méthodologie d’évaluation des géosites récemment utilisée dans la littérature relative au Patrimoine géologique en Suisse, en Italie, en France et en Roumanie suite aux nombreuses demandes de la partager dans le but de montrer la richesse et l’importance de la géodiversité locale, la méthodologie discute la structure de la fiche d’évaluation, l’évaluation scientifique, didactique et des paramètres additionnels ainsi que l’attribution des différents scores.
