  abstract = {{T}he need of useful information for decision-makers to fight against desertification in {T}unisian dry zones leads to conceive assessing and monitoring systems that can supply synthetic indicators. {T}hese latter should integrate socioeconomic and environmental dimensions with their spatial and temporal diversity at the local scale. {T}his paper proposes an example of information system entitled {SIELO} (information system for operational desertification monitoring at the local scale). {T}his system attempts to create the link between i) spatialized indicators of desertification risks, built in connection with the systematic complexity of desertification and ii) observed {L}and {U}se/ {L}and {C}over ({LU}/{LC}) {C}hange. {T}he first type of data arises from pre-existing environmental model: {LEIS} model ({L}ocal {E}nvironmental {I}nformation {S}ystem). {T}he second type of data is extracted from satellite images acquired according to regular time steps. {T}he proposed approach is based also on the spatializing of knowledge, via the "landscape" tool in particular. {W}e illustrate the feasibility and the operational effectiveness of a developed software prototype ({SIELO} v1.0) with an initial application in a {T}unisian dry zone. {T}his system showed that it has the capacity to feed an operational monitoring of desertification according to the state of {LU}/{LC} directly observed or measured in several dates. {T}hen, it can be useful for the decision-makers in their programs of fighting against desertification, but also to manage uncertainties in southeastern {T}unisia, especially climate variability and climate change.},
