Bafing Region

Bafing Region is an administrative territory in western Côte d'Ivoire composed of three departments with Touba serving as the main administrative center. The landscape and settlement patterns shape how communities are distributed across the land.

This region was established in the early 2000s through administrative reorganization of existing territories. It later became incorporated into a larger district structure as part of ongoing administrative changes.

The communities scattered throughout this territory maintain their own local traditions and ways of life that remain visible in daily activities. Visitors can observe how people in towns like Touba and smaller settlements continue these practices as part of their everyday existence.

Touba serves as the central point for administrative services and general orientation within the territory. Visitors should be aware that settlements are spread across considerable distances with infrastructure suited to the region's characteristics.

The territory has a notably sparse population distribution, with communities separated by significant open areas that characterize the landscape. This dispersed pattern creates a sense of space between settlements that differs markedly from more densely occupied regions.
