| Résumé |
The Canal Zone and its geographical consequences for the Republic of Panama. On October, 1st, 1979 disappeared one of the most singular creation of the colonial system : the Canal Zone. During 75 years, the Zone was a juridical, economical and human enclosed territory, only used for Panama Canal operation and training of the U.S. army. This territory divided the Republic of Panama between two parts and hindered an efficient use of its main natural resources : its geographical situation. The Canal Zone also caused important regional inequalities (strong concentration in the main city), economical (service-orientated economy), geographical distortion in the urban growth of the two main cities and important ecological impact. Now, in spite of the numerous restrictions which still remains on the use of returned lands, Panama can use for its own necesities an important infrastructure (ports, railroad) and the lands located on the Canal side for industrial and commercial purpose .
