Abstract
This article highlights the determinants of the choice of strategies of adaptation of users in a context of discontinuity of the water distribution of the public service network in Yopougon military camp. Data collection focused on administering a questionnaire to 384 selected water-connected households. The neighbourhood was reconfigured into three homogeneous areas for sample construction. Thus, 128 heads of households were surveyed by sector. The study reveals that domestic users of the public water service practice the storage of water, the water vigil, the purchase of water at retail and the use of the suppressor as compensatory strategies to the discontinuity of the service. Statistical analyses of bi-variate by Pearson and Fisher Chi-2 tests have concluded that the level of vertical housing positioning, income and household size socio-determinants economic and environmental factors influencing the choice of alternative practices.

Abstract: (french)
Cet article met en relief les déterminants du choix des stratégies d’adaptation des usagers dans un contexte de discontinuité de la distribution de l’eau du réseau du service public à Yopougon Camp Militaire. La collecte des données repose sur des observations et l’administration d’un questionnaire à 384 ménages raccordés au réseau d’eau. Ces pratiques compensatoires ont été étudiées avec des variables socio-économiques par des analyses statistiques de bi-variée avec le test de khi-deux de Pearson et de Fischer. L’étude révèle que les usagers domestiques du service public d’eau adoptent le stockage d’eau, la vigile hydrique, la collecte d’eau hors du logement et le recours aux suppresseurs associé aux robinets secours comme stratégies compensatoires à la discontinuité du service. Le type d’habitation, l’étage d’habitation, le revenu et la taille du ménage sont les déterminants conditionnant le choix des pratiques alternatives.
