خلاصة:
This paper is a part of study about the impact of the microclimate on the space use and the user’s behaviours. The purpose of our study is to get an in-depth understanding of how people use out door public spaces in different climatic conditions, how their behaviour and perception of the space change with the climatic variations. We have employed a multi-method approach which combines a "qualitative" and "quantitative" analysis. Three squares were chosen as a setting for either a video observations, climatic measurement and interviews with the users. The whole investigations were conducted one day in winter 2009 and one day in summer 2010. The result of the qualitative and the quantitative analysis revealed that the climate variables played very different roles in predicting the use mode and density of the three squares in the two seasonal periods.

The result of the qualitative and the quantitative analysis revealed that the climate variables played very different roles in predicting the use mode and density of the three squares in the two seasonal periods.
In this paper, we are presenting some results of the application of these three complementary techniques in three squares (Liberté, L’Indépendance, and 1er Mai) located in the town of Biskra (South-East of Algiers) Data recording techniques Microclimate variations In these selected squares, we have measured climatic variables: the dry and wet temperature, moisture, air velocity, average dry radiant temperature in two various climatic conditions during the year (winter and summer).

These two softwares allows to do several types of treatments by selecting information about various criteria, such as temporal and seasonal periods , personal characteristic of the users , the user’s crossing duration in the space and the duration of his staying .
Space use and climatic variations from the video observations Our first objective was to differentiate the occupation modes of the three squares.
