The population explosion coupled with the socio-political crisis accentuates the difficulties of the district authorities in Abidjan to set up infrastructure and efficient services for the management of domestic, hospital and industrial waste. The majority of this waste is directly found on sidewalks district or the Akouédo landfill which remains the unique legal tank. As a result, our study intends to analyze and assess the effectiveness and impact of the Akouedo landfill on the riparian population. To this end, we conducted an hybrid investigation with direct observation of the study area followed of a field survey with a population of 876 people living in the village of Akouedo. This work showed from the Akouédo landfill is saturated with the presence of heavy metals. On the other hand, it has environmental and health impacts on local communities and the nearby Ébrié lagoon.

Currently, the urban spreading out is the core issue of all the territory management policy. In Côte d'Ivoire, it is particularly the main cause of over-mobility at the level of the displacements of proximity. This situation leads us to find out the real reasons for this generalized mobility among the concerned populations. Based on an inquiry strip, this study sets a broad map of the mobility and the spatial practices of the moving populations of four urban outskirts of Daloa: Bribouo, Sapia, Zaguiguia and Wandaguhé. The inquiry confirms the complexity and diversity that characterize the mobility practices by the so-called new-urban populations. On the one hand, the mobility of the urban outskirts populations are based on an unlimited number of factors such as: working life, social life, everyday life and depend on a large number of factors like: sex, residing duration, social status, community charges and finally differ from one individual to another. On the other hand, these populations are mainly in keeping with their movements on the scale of their villages and the whole city of Daloa.
