Análise da distribuição espacial da população do distrito de Búzi

Abstract

The distribution of population in a given territory follows a certain logic and is determined by a variety of factors. A study of this kind presupposes the collection of information about the distribution of the population, its analysis and the relationships with aspects of the environment and all the changes that take place over time. As with any country's population distribution, Mozambique's was and is determined by physical and human factors. An analysis of the distribution of the population in Mozambique, for example, indicates that it is found along the coast, on the banks of the main rivers, along the transport corridors and in the main urban centers. An analysis of the distribution of population in Mozambique, for example, indicates that it is concentrated along the coast, on the banks of major rivers, along transport corridors and in urban centers. In the study area, according to 1997 census data, about 60.8% of the population of the district of Buzi is concentrated in the administrative post of Búzi-sede, which shows an unequal distribution of the population at the district level. . Finally, the work analyzes the distribution of the population at the district level in the 1980-1997 intercensal period, which concludes that it is not homogeneous. The unequal distribution of the population at the district level was probably caused by the reclassification of the areas that previously belonged to the district, economic and conjunctural factors such as forced migrations due to the armed conflict that ended in October 1992.( Tradução nossa )
