The study gives a report on the places of the disorder induced by the exercise of the trade on the public domain of the District of Abidjan. It is based on scientific articles, reports of experts and accounts of daily newspapers. The review is supplemented by the investigation into the operation of the marketing activities, the birth of the space disorder and the space way of managing near the municipal services and of the users. The results show that contiguous public spaces at the markets are the prolongations of these markets for lack of sufficient places to accommodate the overflow of unsatisfied request. Thus these public spaces are degraded or colonized by other abstract activities in spite of the public efforts of management.
