AbstractThe progressive deterioration of the forest cover of the Dhaya Mountains is considered à principal environmental problem in Algeria. The forest management which is based on conventional methods seems unable to follow the cadence of the degradation of forests, especially, in arid and semi-arid zones subjected for many years to hard climatic and anthropogenic pressures. At present, the public policy aims to develop approaches that capitalize on information and data, involving the local populations. Hence, geomatics (G.I.S. And digital geographic information) imposes itself in a privileged place, its inputs allowing better management and processing of local information and its contribution to the management of natural environments.The aim of this study is to illustrate the importance of geomatics in forest management and to provide forest managers with a decisive support tool in the Dhaya Mountains.
