Les nouveaux ksour de la vallée du M'Zab (1995-2016) : de la permanence et des mutations de la solidarité sociale dans leurs réussites et leurs échecs

New ksour developments in the M’Zab Valley (1995–2016) reveal both continuity and transformation in Mozabite social solidarity, a cornerstone of their survival. Unlike traditional ksour, these modern extensions prioritize material comfort and lifestyle changes while relying on enduring institutions for financing, beneficiary selection, construction, and post-occupation management. A monographic study of six new ksour—combining architectural expertise with anthropological fieldwork (2014–2016)—highlights how evolving societal needs both sustain and challenge the adaptive resilience of Mozabite solidarity systems.
