Analyzing the Sablettes Promenade's User Satisfaction in Algiers to Improve the Quality of Coastal Promenades in Algeria

Abstract

One of the most interesting achievements of Algiers Bay nowadays is the Sablettes Promenade, which was developed
according to a strategic plan for 2031-2035. It has a lot of features and amenities that have drawn a wide range of
people, but there are many negative factors influencing the experience of its users. The aim of this study was to explore
users'perceptions by analyzing their satisfaction using a post-occupancy evaluation survey, executed with a sample of
271 users, and the results were processed with SPSS Statistics version 26. The results clearly showed the level of users’
satisfaction with the following criteria: economy of use, management, attractiveness, safety and security, mobility,
accessibility, urban ambience, urban composition, arrangements, and environmental quality, while detecting factors
that could improve user satisfaction in each criterion. This enabled us to extract characteristics for the design and
development of future urban coastal promenades in Algeria.
