Given, the geographical position, the climatic constraints and the difficulties of the access; the intervention of the territories developers will be thus essential. In this regard, our study arises; it is to seek the possibility of inserting the territories in the development of public policies from a socio-economic study of the environment, which aims to set up a project called eco-green, this project is the establishment of an ecological leisure park.
