Abstract

Mozambican cities are characterized by the prevalence and indiscriminate increase of land occupations, as a result dwellings are demolished for being built in areas that are considered ‘inappropriate’.
Looking at the context of Lichinga City (Mozambique) it is assumed that the control
and orientation of access to land, in a collaborative way, involving the Municipality
and the community authorities, can alleviate the problems related to the indiscriminate occupation of the land. Therefore, this article aims to bring elements that promote reflections
on the role of the Municipality-Community authorities’ articulation in land management
and their influence on the way the territory is occupied. A collaborative diagnosis
methodology for land occupation is proposed, involving the main agents with interference
in access to land, that is, the Municipality and the Community Authorities, whose
purpose is to identify the inappropriate areas of land, the ways inappropriate lands are
accessed and set action strategies.
