Abstract

Towards the consolidation of peace and national development, the Ivorian society must overcome the lack of cohesion reported by several cooperation agents. In this sense, the present work provides insights on the regional interactions, so efforts may be planned and deployed with more intelligence. We characterize the communication patterns from a social perspective, in order to understand the factors that influence its emergence. We found that in a subregional scale, the ethnical identity plays an important role in the communication patterns, while at the interregional scale, other factors arise like economical interests and available infrastructure.
