Résumé
This article analyzes the model of the production of peri-urban space in Fouchana, located in the south of Greater Tunis, by exploring the complexity of the land production system, which integrates various mechanisms of land access and use. To understand this complexity, a systemic approach was adopted, making it possible to take into account the interdependencies between the physical, political, social and economic dimensions of peri-urban land production. In this context, the method of structural equations, in particular the PLS (Partial Least Squares) method, proves to be an appropriate statistical tool. The aim of this method is to examine the existence of causal links between different variables, and to verify the relevance and coherence of a theoretical model. In our case, the latter examines the relationships between the various factors involved in the transformation of land resources dedicated to housing, in particular with regard to the organization of formal and informal land practices. The results of the study reveal how the processes of land transformation, both formal and informal, influence the social and spatial dynamics of Fouchana. Moreover, they disclose the essential role played by land production in mediating between land mechanisms and urban dynamics, thus revealing the challenges associated with rapid urbanization and growing demographic pressure.
