The conclusions of these two surveys, which made it possible to draw up an update radioscopy of Moroccan society, concerned both the social sphere (how do Moroccans represent the spaces of private life?) As well as the civic sphere (how do Moroccans represent the spaces of public life?).

As regards the social sphere, it relates to the family bond, the bond of friendship, the bond of neighborhood and the professional bond. As for the civic sphere, it concerns the foundations and obstacles to living together, the political bond, interpersonal and institutional trust, corruption, civic engagement and organized activism, the impact of the new Constitution on the living conditions of citizens, identity attachment, the linguistic issue, solidarity, the feeling of security and the media and social networks.
