Present in traditional African societies and essentially focused on satisfying family needs, pottery is experiencing a craze at the pace of the evolution of contemporary societies. In Côte d’Ivoire, the center and north of the country are experiencing a dynamism in the pottery sector, closely linked to the dynamism of human interactions and the growth of tourism. In Tanou-Sakassou, a village located in the commune of Bouaké, in the center of Côte d’Ivoire, pottery occupies an important place in the socio-economic activities of the said village. As an integral part of its identity, pottery stimulates the tourist attractiveness of the village of Tanou-Sakassou, while de facto guaranteeing the sustainability of the practice of pottery activity within this village. However, the dynamism of this activity, thanks in particular to the adhesion of a new generation inclined towards modernism, has negative impacts on the natural environment. Based on this, this article aims to analyze the changes in the practice of pottery activity due to tourism as well as its impacts on the natural environment in the village of Tanou-Sakassou. To achieve this, we opted for a methodological approach composed of a bibliographical research and a field survey.
