Análise do papel do Conselho Municipal Da Cidade de Maputo na Construção da cidadania ambiental urbana

Abstract

This work analyzes the role of CMCM in the construction of a CAU. This citizenship is linked to the idea of training for urban life, of enabling people to live fully in the city. Having as basic principles solidarity, sociability, cooperation, respect for public space, the environment, democracy, responsibility and a sense of collectiveness, due to the fact that it is not nature that directly created it. The urban environment is considered an artificial ecosystem, a place where interpersonal relationships and relationships between people and other objects are motivated and created to enable coexistence between them. This is a qualitative and exploratory research, based on a bibliographic review and semi- structured interviews. The research results showed that CMCM has developed several actions that are linked to CAU, as this citizenship is seen as the path to reducing the socio-environmental problems that occur within this municipality. Furthermore, the CMCM has a set of legal instruments (Resolution no. 86/AM/2008, of May 22) that support the area studied. However, CMCM has worked hard to disseminate CAU, using various methods such as lectures in schools, neighborhoods, churches, among others. Despite so much effort, there is still a lack of participation and assimilation of the knowledge transmitted by the municipality to its residents, thus making it difficult to fully implement the CAU
