Authors : Korti Rafika . Sassi Boudemagh Rafika .

Abstract

Since 2013 and as part of my PhD preparation, I have been engaged in a series of research on the influence of individual characteristics of citizens in their participation. This series of studies aims to effectively involve citizens in conservation projects and to enhance the value of built heritage, thus building a basis for a participatory approach between citizens and public actors. This research is the third after the studies on "community spirit" and then "individual competency". The aim of this work is to examine one of the psychological variables "locus of control" that could influence citizen participation level, in the context of permanent safeguard plans projects elaboration. The data was collected from citizens of two old districts "Messaaba and L'Aacheche" in the city of El Oued, located in south-eastern Algeria, who were interviewed by questionnaire.
