Abstract

Laghouat is one of the prestigious Saharan cities of Algeria who inherits an architectural and urban heritage (habitat) of national importance. Zguegue El Hadjaj is one of the oldest quarters reflecting the historical and cultural value of the city. He is now in a very advanced state of degradation threatening the health, comfort and safety of its occupants. As part of the rehabilitation of old buildings and to preserve the historical heritage, this study is to identify the different forms of damage in this neighborhood and try to implement an approach to diagnosis and intervention suggestion on some pathologies. Our goal is not to solve all the problems, by cons we present the state of play in this neighborhood and the outlines of a rehabilitation technique through our acquired knowledge, which will serve as a reference tool and encourage the various actors to safeguard this heritage.
