Ocupação da terra urbana na Cidade da Matola e sua implicação no planeamento urbano, alguma referência a bairros: Mussumbuluco e Liberdade

Abstract

The present work of a degree in Geography, presents a study of the evolution of the forms of occupation of urban land in the City of Matola. The objective is to distinguish the forms of occupation of urban land that affect the planning of the use and exploitation of urban land in Matola, based on the observation and interpretation of some references of occupation of the neighborhoods of Mussumbuluco and Liberdade, supported by the bibliographical review and in the fieldwork. The analysis of indicators such as density, type of inhabitants and service provision was based on the use of the different phases of the methodology presented in chapter D, with greater emphasis on urban management instruments, direct observation and literature review. The analysis of the evolution of land occupation in the City of Matola (Chapter IV) and the comparisons between the different forms of occupation, referring to the neighborhoods of Mussumbuluco and Liberdade constitute important moments in this work. Thus, it allowed us to observe the similarities or divergences in the spatial behavior of the areas of study. The main conclusion that can be drawn from this work is that the City of Matola is distinguished by four forms of occupation: Zones ordered for industrial occupation, Zones ordered for housing occupation, Zones ordered for agricultural occupation and Zones of spontaneous occupation (spots ). All these zones have a common characteristic that is discontinuity, and a mixed characteristic of suburbanization, with reference to the neighborhoods of Mussumbuluco and Liberdade. This situation of the characteristics presented creates several constraints with regard to the organization of municipal urban services, ranging from environmental sanitation to security.(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
