The evolution of the problems led the Laboratory "Geographical Space and Territorial Development" to define three (3) main axes of research :
- Axe 1 : Physical and environmental dynamics of natural environments.
- Axe 2 : Regional Organization and Sustainable Development.
- Axe 3 : Urban-peri-urban transformations and city problems.
Les équipes de recherche du laboratoire sont réparties à travers les axes de recherche de la manière suivante :
Axe 1 : Physical and environmental dynamics of natural environments
- Team 1 : Dynamics and Desertification of Arid and Semi-Arid Environments.
- Team 7 : Water and the environment in arid environment.
- Team 6 : Dynamics of Steppe and Saharan Spaces.
Axe 2 : Regional Organization and Sustainable Development
- Team 2 : Space and Population.
- Team 4 : Regional Dynamics and Natural Resource Management.
- Team 8 : Territories and Societies.
Axe 3 : Urban-peri-urban transformations and city problems
- Team 3 : Urban Dynamics, Image and Experience.
- Team 5 : Mobility and Urban Dynamics.
- Team 9 : Cities and Urban Structures.
