In this article we propose to analyze the factors of the locations of service stations and their impact in the spatial organization of the city of Lubumbashi. We have adopted the descriptive explanatory method; Using a GPS, the service stations were located. The quadrat method allowed us to highlight the spatial model of the city and the Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) software enabled us to develop the service station map. After analysis of the quadrat and the map we deduced the following: intense places of activity (business center); The major roads and intersections attract more petroleum operators to establish service stations within the city. Affordable price; The quality of the petroleum product; Proximity to the road; The speed of delivery of petroleum products attracts customers to service stations. Their environmental impacts have been elucidated and the risks associated with their radiation are great because they have no buffer zones and their reconciliation is a permanent fire hazard in a city where fire fighting vehicles are almost non-existent. Where the town hall has a responsibility for regulating points of sales of petroleum products in order to save human and material lives.

Abstract
In this article we propose to analyze the factors of the locations of service stations and their impact in the spatial organization of the city of Lubumbashi. We have adopted the descriptive explanatory method; Using a GPS, the service stations were located. The quadrat method allowed us to highlight the spatial model of the city and the Quantum Geographic Information System (QGIS) software enabled us to develop the service station map. After analysis of the quadrat and the map we deduced the following: intense places of activity (business center); The major roads and intersections attract more petroleum operators to establish service stations within the city. Affordable price; The quality of the petroleum product; Proximity to the road; The speed of delivery of petroleum products attracts customers to service stations. Their environmental impacts have been elucidated and the risks associated with their radiation are great because they have no buffer zones and their reconciliation is a permanent fire hazard in a city where fire fighting vehicles are almost non-existent. Where the town hall has a responsibility for regulating points of sales of petroleum products in order to save human and material lives.

Abstract: (french)
Dans cet article nous nous sommes proposé d’analyser les facteurs des localisations des stations-service et leur impact dans l’organisation spatiale de la ville de Lubumbashi. Nous avons adopté la méthode descriptive explicative ; A l’aide d’un GPS, les stations-service ont été localisées. La méthode de quadrat nous a permis de mettre en évidence le modèle spatiale de la ville et le logiciel Quantum Geographic Information System(QGIS) nous a permis d’élaborer la carte des stations-service. Après analyses du quadrat et de la carte nous avons déduit ce qui suit : les lieux d’activités intenses (centre des affaires) ; les grands axes et les carrefours attirent plus les opérateurs pétroliers à implanter les stations-service au sein de la ville. Le prix abordable ; la qualité du produit pétrolier; la proximité routière ; la rapidité de livraison de produits pétroliers attirent les clients vers les stations-service. Leurs impacts environnementaux ont été élucidé et les risques liés à leur rayonnement sont grands car, ces dernières n’ont pas des zone tampon et leurs rapprochements est un danger permanent d’incendie en série dans une ville ou les véhicules anti incendies sont presque inexistants d’où la mairie a une responsabilité pour la régulation des points des ventes des produits pétroliers afin de sauver des vies humaines et matérielles.
Author Keywords: modèle spatiale, stations-service, les grands axes, carrefours, opérateurs pétroliers, impact environnemental, organisation spatiale.
