Abstract

The Community education is the primary basis for a country’s socio-political and economic development. For this reason, the present study aimed to analyze the influence of community education on the dynamics of urban occupation for the coast/coastal area of the city of Quelimane in Mozambique. Specifically, it was proposed to identify the influence of human education on the dynamics of urban occupation for the coast; present the causes of urban occupation dynamics and, finally, reflectively analyze the implications of urban occupation dynamics. As this is qualitative research, it involved 355 participants. For data collection, an interview survey was used. After sorting and discussing the data, it was concluded that community education is of paramount importance because it greatly influences the management and preservation of the environment, respecting the most sensitive and risky areas for public health and resources constant natural. However, the problems of the urban occupation dynamics for the coast of the city of Quelimane arise, mainly due to the weak management of Organs competent bodies in the intervention/ interaction of the burning problems for the monitoring and evaluation of the risk areas. Faced with this, impacts and dilemmas arise such as pollution of the coastal and marine environment, lack of sanitation and the emergence of diseases, loss of homes because the occupied area is low, marshy and susceptible to tide, and also, due to devastation of mangrove forest causes shoreline degradation.
