Monografia do Distrito de Boane

Abstract

In the district of Boane, as in many areas of the country, it is necessary to research the natural and economic conditions, because although there is information about the district, it is very localized and not systematized, because it appears in books, reports and brochures of institutions that are interested in the exploitation of a particular resource, or researchers who focus on the analysis of a given phenomenon. The present dissertation is a more systematized form of analysis. The work is divided into six chapters as follows: 1. Introduction, where the theme presentation is highlighted, the main objectives of the work, the formulated assumptions, the main methods used in the elaboration of the work as well as the geographic localization of the area and a brief approach to the historical evolution of the district's appearance. 2. 3. the study of the main socio-demographic characteristics of the population, where its growth was analyzed, having concluded that this is processed in a very rapid way, due to the fact that the area is considered of strong immigration and that this population growth is not accompanied by the creation of new jobs, capable of absorbing the growing labor force. 4. The next part is dedicated to the analysis of the use and exploitation of the land, which shows the agricultural and cattle raising potentialities of the area, as well as the existing basic infrastructures. It was possible to observe that Boane is an area with conditions for the development of agriculture and cattle ranching. 5. The impact of the practice of agricultural, industrial and mineral activities upstream and downstream of the Umbeluzi River, the main source of water for human consumption in the study area and in the capital of the country, is analyzed.
