“…For the accuracy of the data, we used two stages: The first stage referred to the search for documents and a consistent bibliography regarding urban studies in Mozambique, which helped in the identification of social conditions that literature in the field of Geography presents as consolidated socio-spatial realities no urban territory in the city. Thus, among a series of works, the study by Muacuveia [5], which evaluated the residential segregation of the city, as well as the work of Maloa [6], in the analysis of exclusion in the urban area, is worth mentioning. Literature on urban dispersion was also observed, with authors such as Maloa and Nascimento [7].…”

The aim of this article is to analyze African urbanization, looking specifically at the transformations of Mozambican urban peripheries. To do so, conduct a qualitative research of an exploratory nature, using bibliographic, documentary and photographic survey. The most interesting discoveries of this study started in the 1990s, a period marked by the end of “socialism”, civil war, centrally planned economy, which verified the opening of parents in the current Western capitalist world in the growth of foreign investments and financial transactions. Under the effect of market liberalization. At this moment, everything that is traded and the exchange value overlaps the use value and appropriation of space in exchange for money. In this context, as the peripheral urban cities are transformed into multiplying duplexes, elegant houses those call houses, true “Mozambican palaces” and closed condoms. The establishment of these houses will transform these spaces and gradually expel the low-income population that has existed for a long time, to places very far from the central area, this phenomenon is called gentrification. He concluded that the transformation of Mozambican urban peripheries is influenced by the increase in real estate capital, increase in individual income, ease of acquisition of space and construction material (provided by the expansion of the installation for the exhibition that makes it possible or cheaper). This research is important because it makes an important contribution to the empirical studies on the new neoliberal urbanism that is taking place in Mozambican cities. The limits of this research are due to the lack of funding to carry out a systematic survey of new ventures that will emerge in cities and places far from the center of large cities, such as: Maputo, Beira, Nampula and Matola. It is intended in the future study to demonstrate how to change the socioeconomic structure of the residents of the Mozambican peripheries, characterizing gentrification.

“…Defining a suitable night time period was challenging because no household survey data were found about the study area. However, according to Maloa [40], Maputo (capital of Mozambique) and Beira (study area) have similarities in terms of physic-geographic characteristics and mobility activities. Therefore, in this study, night time is considered to be from 08:00 p.m. to 06:00 a.m. because this time was found to be when most of the people in Great Maputo are at home according to the JICA Household Survey [41].…”

Under normal circumstances, people’s homes and work locations are given by their addresses, and this information is used to create a disaster management plan in which there are instructions to individuals on how to evacuate. However, when a disaster strikes, some shelters are destroyed, or in some cases, distance from affected areas to the closest shelter is not reasonable, or people have no possibility to act rationally as a natural response to physical danger, and hence, the evacuation plan is not followed. In each of these situations, people tend to find alternative places to stay, and the evacuees in shelters do not represent the total number of the displaced population. Knowing the spatial distribution of total displaced people (including people in shelters and other places) is very important for the success of the response activities which, among other measures, aims to provide for the basic humanitarian needs of affected people. Traditional methods of people displacement estimation are based on population surveys in the shelters. However, conducting a survey is infeasible to perform at scale and provides low coverage, i.e., can only cover the numbers for the population that are at the shelters, and the information cannot be delivered in a timely fashion. Therefore, in this research, anonymized mobile Call Detail Records (CDRs) are proposed as a source of information to infer the spatial distribution of the displaced population by analyzing the variation of home cell-tower for each anonymized mobile phone subscriber before and after a disaster. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using remote-sensing-based building damage assessment data and Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) from an individual’s questionnaire survey conducted after a severe cyclone in Beira city, central Mozambique, in March 2019. The results show an encouraging correlation coefficient (over 70%) between the number of arrivals in each neighborhood estimated using CDRs and from DTM. In addition to this, CDRs derive spatial distribution of displaced populations with high coverage of people, i.e., including not only people in the shelter but everyone who used a mobile phone before and after the disaster. Moreover, results suggest that if CDRs data are available right after a disaster, population displacement can be estimated, and this information can be used for response activities and hence contribute to reducing waterborne diseases (e.g., diarrheal disease) and diseases associated with crowding (e.g., acute respiratory infections) in shelters and host communities.

“…Apesar de o crescimento demográfico das cidades dever-se maioritariamente ao crescimento natural (diferença entre natalidade e mortalidade), as migrações forçadas,calamidades naturais, a reclassificação urbana e o clima económico actual criaram um aumento significativo e não programado da população urbana, motivaram a expansão administrativa urbana onde, milhares de famílias adormeceram como rurais e acordaram como urbanas, sem que tivessem sido processadas quaisquer alterações de organização espacial, económica, social ou cultural o que permitiu a expansão das periferias sem infraestruturas e serviços urbanos (Maloa, 2019;Araújo, 2003). Dada a importância que as migrações têm na construção de espaços, torna-se relavante realiar este estudo baseando-se na revisão bibliográfica e análise dos dados dos Censos (1980,1997,2007 prática da agricultura e pecuária (Gomes, 2014;Morais, 1989), que continua sendo a principal actividade de subsistência e ser praticada por 73.6% da população economicamente activa de acordo com os dados do IOF 4 (2019/20).…”

“…A urbanização no entanto, é sempre associada a um processo dinâmico e complexo de concentração de população num determinado espaço a partir do seu "situ" original, assumindoa ideia de que, originalmente, a distribuição da população no território era de carácter disperso e rural (Araújo, 2003) Jul Posteriormente a periferia foi também ocupada por migrantes de baixa renda, que olhavam para as cidades como a solução para a sua condição de vida, e se deslocaram dos espaços rurais para os urbanos por forma a responder aos desequilíbrios regionais de desenvolvimento (Araújo, 2002;Maloa, 2019).…”

A formação dos assentamentos humanos em Moçambique está intimamente ligada às migrações principalmente nas zonas urbanas, onde o processo de crescimento actual obedeceu 3 períodos, nomeadamente, pós independência, o período da Guerra de desestabilização e o período pós Acordo Geral de Paz. A partir da pesquisa bibliográfica realizou-se este trabalho com objectivo de analisar a complexidade da construção do espaço urbano em virtude de fenómenos não programados como, as migrações. Tendo em conta as condições de precariedade que ainda se vive nas zonas rurais moçambicanas, os movimentos migratórios constituem um dos mecanismos que proporcionam melhores rendimentos, acesso aos serviços sociais básicos, assim como melhores perspectivas de vida para os agregados familiares. Contudo, a urbanização no contexto da globalização, e a necessidade de criação de novos espaços urbanos, favoreceu a extensão das fronteiras das cidades, para áreas com características rurais e provavelmente sem valores a agregar as cidades assim como mudanças na urbanização moçambicana, resultando em alteração da paisagem urbana. Esta forma de produção dos espaços, propiciou a continuidade da dualidade existente no período colonial mas desta feita, o centro da cidade passou a ser ocupado por cidadãos moçambicanos e a grande diferença residia na densidade populacional que os espaços urbanos passaram a ter.
