In order to requalify the “image of the city”, amulticriteria analysis of the landscape units ofthe “El Medfoun” forest and the Sebkha “Halk El Menjel” has been developed to detect symbol indices of change for a new “territorial landscaping”. These natural areas were identified as new iconic objects. Indeed, the Sebkha and the forest, carrying ecological, patrimonial, social and economic values, may be integrated into a territorial project, through of landscape geomediation practices.
