Abstract FR:
La perception est une maniere de comprendre l'espace, miroir de ceux qui le vivent et de ceux qui l'observent. La region etudiee, l'adrar de mauritanie, est un massif saharien de culture arabo-berbere, caracterise par une occupation quasi-permanente. Coeur historique du pays des maures dit "pays de chinguetti", l'adrar est aujourd'hui une entite administrative. L'ouvrage s'articule autour de quatre grands axes : les visions de la region selon les sources, la perception de l'espace naturels, la memoire collective et le sens des reperes spatio-temporels. La confrontation avec l'analyse des documents geographiques fait apparaitre la structure concrete, naturelle et objective de la region, des hommes qui y vivent, de ceux qui y ont vecu et de ceux qui l'etudient a travers le filtre de leur perception. La prise en compte de ces visions multiples, collectives et ou individuelles sont les prealables necessaires aux choix de developpement.
