This research was conducted in Maputo City, the capital city of Mozambique, as one of developing cities which in the needs to support its urban physical features. It aimed to (1) identify environmental problems in the coastal zone of Maputo, (2) identify the existing Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) in the coastal zone of Maputo, and (3) formulate a plan of ICZM in Maputo. It was conducted by field observation on several points following the literature study. Points were chosen according to difference in physical coastal appearance such as the presence of berms, frontal dunes, artificial barriers, and coastal structures. Results showed that the coastal area in Maputo City experiences three environmental problems i.e. coastal abrasion, improper land use to its conservation concept, and poor waste management. There is already structural mitigation in the area which is in the form of jetties and seawalls. However, it only attempts to solve problems technically. ICZM which bases on coastal zone’s potential risk, then, becomes handy in solving the problems related to people awareness in improving the effectiveness of waste management as well as the properness of land utilization in the study area. |
