Mercado de terras nas áreas urbanas e sua implicação na ocupação e uso de terra : estudo do caso da área periurbana da cidade da Matola

Abstract

The developed urban land market in the large cities of Mozambique has been characterized by the purchase, sale and advance speculation of parcels. This dynamic has evolved over the past 10 years, involving the resident population and those interested in expanding areas. The transformation of space, the nature of buying and selling plots as well as the market's implication on the low-income population has been one of society's current concerns, particularly for urban planners. Thus, this work intends to analyze the dynamics of the urban land market and its relationship with the occupation and use of land in the periurban area of the city of Matola. To answer the objective, a literature review and field work were used, based on the cartographic method, on direct observation and with the aid of semi-structured interviews in a sample of 171 heads of households. The results of the study show that the population residing in the neighborhoods of Matola Gare, Mualaze, Km 15, Intaca, Cobe and 1° de Maio with more than three plots sells their farms to interested parties who come from the urban and suburban areas of cities of Maputo and Matola, About 23% of the heads of households surveyed bought the parcels they occupy from former residents and the most applied types of land use are the construction of single-family houses, farms or weekend houses and speculation .(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
