O processo de reassentamento resultante de desastres naturais: caso de Estevel, municipio de Boane no ano 2023

Abstract

This monograph aims to analyse the resettlement process resulting from natural disasters in the municipal area of Boane by conducting a critical analysis of the application of the Regulation on the Resettlement Process Resulting from Economic Activities (Decree No. 31/2012 of August 8) mutatis mutandis in Estevel, Municipality of Boane. The first regulatory instrument is the corollary of the need to standardize the resettlement process through the establishment of basic rules and principles for the resettlement process resulting from economic activities initiated by public or private entities, under Article 30 of Law No. 19/2007, of July 18, which approves the Land Use Law. This work identified, as its general objective, the analysis of the applicable legislation in the resettlement process resulting from natural disasters, with a specific focus on the urban land of the Municipality of Boane, particularly in the neighbourhood of Estevel. To achieve this, the specific objectives are: to describe the resettlement conditions in the neighbourhood of Estevel in the Municipality of Boane, to analyse the legal framework of resettlement resulting from economic activities, and to present proposals for the creation of a specific framework that effectively addresses the resettlement process resulting from natural disasters in urban land planning, with the aim of providing legal protection to victims of natural disasters, specifically in cases of flooding. The Municipality of Boane is located in the south western part of Maputo City, bordered to the north by the Matola-Rio Administrative Post, through the villages of Estevele and Macombe, to the south by the Movene and Umbeluzi rivers, to the east by the Umbeluzi River and the village of Beluluane, and to the west by the Movene River. The Municipality comprises 33 neighbourhoods and 2 administrative posts and is the largest municipality in the country in terms of territorial extension.
