Country Partition and Vegetations Dynamics During the Period of Conflict in Côte d'Ivoire. The political-military crisis in Ivory Coast started in September 2002 led to a partition of the country into two distinct military and administrative entities. The South remained under governmental control when the north of the country was under the management of an armed rebellion; these two entities being separated by the so-called buffer zone. Apart from the repercussions on the population, this crisis has led to disturbances in the landscape. The present study consisted of highlighting the spatio-temporal dynamics of the national parks and classified forests located in each of the three cutting zones of the country between 2002 and 2013. The land use maps were made at the beginning and at the end of conflicts. An anthropogenic disturbance index quantified the disturbances in the different settings. The results showed that the impact of the crisis was more pronounced in the formations belonging to the forest areas than in the savannah zones. According to the territorial division resulting from the crisis, it was the so-called buffer zone which was the most disturbed. Moreover, the formations located in the centre-west, zone of high cocoa production, have suffered the most severe disturbances.
