Abstract
Ground movements represent a major threat to human life. They are recognized by the political authorities and the scientific community as natural events with a catastrophic socio-economic impact and represent a major danger for most of the stakes (population, habitats, basic infrastructures natural environment). In this context, the Kef region in Tunisia is an example of a territory heavily affected by landslides whose geological and cartographic thematic study enabled us to develop a slippage risk map.
