Mobilidade espacial da população no distrito de Mandimba

Abstract

This degree work in Geography presents the theme of the Spatial Mobility of Population in its different meanings. The structure of the work follows an approach at the global, national and finally, analyzing the same phenomenon at the level of the district of Mandimba, particularly with regard to migrations, movements and/or movement of people. It seeks to analyze the context in which the migratory phenomenon occurs, its motivations and consequences at the spatial or geographic and demographic level. The universe of analysis falls on a period of great importance for the country in general and, particularly, in the life of the population of the district of Mandimba, given that between 1980 and 1997 there were several social, political and economic changes that affect the daily lives of people. Linking to the theory of forgotten places, it can be said that the cause of emigration is related to poverty, lack of local initiatives or development incentives. The population travels long distances to access basic health and education services. It is concluded that the dominant migratory current, from the 1980s to the 1990s, is linked to the armed conflict that is the repulsive factor, that is, the main reason for moving to Malawi. The socio-political stability achieved with the AGP is the attractive factor causing the inverse movement of returnees and/or demobilized, a fact that raised the masculinity index. And the great obstacle to migratory exchange (the movement of people and goods) is the precarious state of transport infrastructure.(TRADUÇÁO NOSSA)
