Abstract
Upper Casamance is a Sudanese region of West Africa, moderatly populated as a result of the immigration of Sahelian and Guinean people. As far as it never belonged to any strong kingdom able to allow population growth, it was still a sparesely populated area at the end of precolonial period. Now, with heterogeneous and scattered populations and a high diversity of soils and extensive agro-pastoral systems, the populating is mainly based on settlements in low density areas. The politics of intensive farming, mainly the one's of SODEFITEX, are facing important social, geographical and land property constraints. The main settlements usually come from political or economic factors like, for example, marabout influence or border neighbouring.
