Abstract

The present study analyzes the Environmental Education developed by the Municipal Council of Maputo to minimize the socio-environmental impacts arising from the occupation of urban land in the Aeroporto “A” neighbourhood . The study sought todescribe the socio-environmental impacts arising from the occupation of urban land as well as to present environmental education strategies carried out by the Municipal Council to minimize these impacts. To carry out the research, a qualitative approach was used, and the sampling was non-probabilistic for convenience. Data collection was done through semi-structured interview, documentary research and bibliographical research. In this process, 10 people were interviewed, of which nine (9) are residents of the neighborhood where the research takes place and one (1) is a technician from the Municipal Council. Data were analyzed using a procedure consisting of four distinct phases: data management, data classification and grouping, data categorization and final report production. As a result, it was found that some strategies carried out by the Municipal Council, such as solid waste management, civic education and other strategies mentioned in the Master Plan, it can be said that the impact felt by the residents of the Aeroporto neighborhood, in the aforementioned activities is relatively weak. The survey recommends other environmental education actions such as the creation of projects that encourage conservation of the environment by public institutions, NGOs, etc. It is also recommended that residents adhere to initiatives on environmental conservation. In addition, it is recommended that the CMCM has an Environmental Education plan where all the activity plans that will be carried out will be evident and subsequently that a half- yearly report of the activities be produced.
