Abstract

The Cavally region, located in the west of Côte d’Ivoire, is a space strongly marked by the migratory phenomenon. Since the 1980s to the present day, this region has received migrants from neighboring countries of Côte d'Ivoire and foreigners in search of arable and available lands for the development of agricultural activity. In the area of Bloléquin, one of the departments of this region, the migrants are almost made up of autochthonous Dan people and Burkinabés. The strong presence of these foreigners is not without consequences on social organization and environmental evolution. This article therefore plans to question History on the process of installation of Dans and Burkinabe migrants in the department of Bloléquin and the impact of their presence on society and the environment. Examination of the existing literature as well as oral surveys made it possible to obtain the required information. It emerges from the analysis that the labor migrations of the Dan and Burkinabé peoples in the department of Bloléquin not only led to the proliferation and emergence of strong agricultural colonies, have also changed the local economy and impacted the social environment.
