Análise da expressão espacial dos sistemas de abastecimento de água no Bairro 25 de Junho B Cidade de Maputo

Abstract

The aim of this study is to characterize or analyze the spatial expression of the water supply systems in the 25 de Junho “B” district. The object of study of this investigation is represented by the spatial expression of water supply systems. Having defined the object and objective of the study, we defined the following assumptions as: the water supply systems in Bairro 25 de Junho “B” are heterogeneously distributed throughout the space, with the formal part of the neighborhood being the most benefited; and the current pattern of water supply systems at the neighborhood level obeys the territorial distribution of the housing, the structuring elements (road network) and the relief. For this purpose, bibliographical review, direct observation, cartographic, statistical and comparative methods were taken as study methodologies. The present work is divided into 6 chapters, represented in ascending order by the following topics: the first chapter contains the introduction and problem statement, objectives, justification, assumptions and methodology; the second is related to literature review; the third is reserved for the characterization of the study area; the fourth deals with the analysis of the spatial distribution of water supply systems; the fifth analyzes the conclusions and the sixth contains the bibliography. The results of the study indicated that the neighborhood as a whole presents heterogeneity in terms of the spatial distribution of water supply systems, with the formal or urbanized area of ​​the neighborhood being the most benefited. It counts on the representation of all the systems existing in the neighborhood, namely the public water supply network; the holes and wells. While the informal part of the neighborhood, devoid of planning and topographically high, the least benefited has a great weight, first, the wells, and then the holes. The current pattern of water supply systems at the neighborhood level obeys the territorial distribution of the housing, the structural elements (road network) and the relief.(TRADUÇÂO NOSSA)
