Willingness to pay for marine-based tourism within the Ponto do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve, MozambiqueDaly, Clare Amelie Keating January 2014 (has links)
Marine and coastal ecosystems face widespread degradation largely because market failure hides the economic value of the goods and services provided by them. Marine protected areas (MPAs) can serve as a structure that ensures the continuing function of marine and coastal ecosystem goods and services. Yet, to be effective and sustainable, MPAs must be able to prove their economic worth and generate revenue. User-fees are a common system used to partially finance multi-use MPAs. This study applies contingent valuation as a method of economic valuation within an MPA in southern Mozambique. The objectives of this study are to determine the willingness to pay of combined user groups and of individual user groups for use of the Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve and to investigate the potential for the reserve to increase revenues for conservation through the implementation of a user-fee for marine based activities. The payment card contingent valuation method was employed to determine willingness to pay of dolphin swim tourists, scuba divers and fishermen. Data was collected by face-to-face interviews of 120 respondents within two popular tourist locations in the PPMR. Results show that visitors within the PPMR are mainly South Africans, loyal to the area. Probit and OLS regressions were used to determine the effects of various independent variables on willingness to pay. Results from the Probit model indicate that African residency, activity and environmental awareness were significant factors that influenced visitors being WTP more than R20 per person per day as a user fee within the PPMR. The OLS model examined independent variables that influenced visitors being willing to pay as well as the impact of the variables on the amount visitors were willing to pay. The OLS model found income, African residency and environmental awareness to be significant factors influencing visitors being willing to pay. The mean WTP was R43.75 per person per day. Using data supplied by the PPMR, conservative estimated annual revenues based on the implementation of this fee amount would range between R1.46m – R 3.3m.

Conservation history, hunting policies and practices in the South Western Mozambique borderland in the 20th centuryJose, Paulo Lopes January 2017 (has links)
A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Humanities of the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, August 2017 / This study uses both primary and secondary sources to investigate the history of the communities living in the southern Mozambique hinterland in the 20th century. It specifically examines the evolution of the colonial hunting laws and the establishment of hunting reserves in southern Mozambique. In this thesis, I argue that the Portuguese colonial administration put little effort into the protection of fauna and ecosystems in the south western Mozambique hinterland. Portuguese hunting laws were issued to provide the colonial system with revenue – through a system of fees imposed on licensed hunters when entering Mozambican forests and hunting reserves – rather than to improve fauna management. Colonial laws (particularly fees for the hunting permits) made it difficult for the majority of local African peasants to access game resources, on which during periods of drought and lack of foodstuffs they depended for subsistence. The study explores the extent to which postcolonial development projects affected conservation and the livelihoods of communities living in conservation areas. It shows how the period following independence was also characterised by mass killing of wildlife. In 1978, as part of the construction of the Massingir dam, Frelimo government officials relocated families living along the Elephants valley to areas having poor soils in Coutada 16, thus reducing the ability of the cultivators to produce enough food to sustain their families. Lack of food supplies increased the dependence of local families on bush meat for food. The armed conflict, which broke out immediately after independence in 1975 and lasted until 1992, contributed to the mass killing of wildlife, as both government soldiers and RENAMO fighters exploited bush for food. The end of the armed conflict allowed the Government of Mozambique (GoM) to implement projects aimed at rehabilitating the ecosystems destroyed by war and the transformation of Coutada 16 into the Limpopo National Park (LNP) in 2001. In 2002, the integration of the LNP into the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP) turned into reality Hertzog´s 1927 desire to create a transnational conservation area across the South Africa – Mozambique border. / XL2018

Urban place making in Maputo: an investigation towards a contextually appropriate urban design approach / Place making in Sub-Saharan Africa: an investigation towards a contextually appropriate urban design approachOlivier, Anja January 2017 (has links)
Thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Urban Design to the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, School of Architecture and Planning at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 2017 / African cities are rapidly developing, and current planning approaches are often based on theory derived from the global North as opposed to research on the developing cities of the South. These approaches are often limited in relevance when planning and policy-making decisions have to be made in a much more diverse and dynamic urban environment of the developing South. The research on particular cities of the South, in this case Maputo, produced new layers of creative planning ideas with new shared theories as contribution to global planning. The research investigates place making through contextually appropriate urban design approaches within the context of Sub-Saharan Africa. Alternative approaches towards planning for (designing in) an African city were compared and reviewed to determine how contextually appropriate theory can be applied to develop a precinct plan for the upgrading and future development of the Bullring site in Maputo. The conclusion is a desk based urban design project for the selected site / XL2018

Transitioning from civil war to government: leadership in post-conflict reconstruction in South Sudan and MozambiqueGatehouse, Clare Annabel January 2017 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts, June 2017 / This study examines leadership and statebuilding in the very specific context of the transition of a rebel group to a governing entity of a post-conflict state by comparing the cases of Mozambique and South Sudan. Drawing on theories of political leadership, statebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction, and recent studies on political legitimacy, this study provides insight into the processes by which leaders interact with and build the institutions of state that both enable their governance and that may ultimately constrain their authority, and the impact of external actors on these processes. This study focuses particularly on the critical interaction between political leaders and the institution of the rebel group turned political party that they lead in the fragile post-conflict period. This study traces how FRELIMO in Mozambique and the SPLM in South Sudan built sufficient political legitimacy in order to be considered the natural party of governance upon independence in each country. It also compares how RENAMO in Mozambique sought to make the transition from rebels to politicians. It then closely examines how leaders’ and parties’ political legitimacy was built or lost in subsequent years and the impact of this on building the critical institutions of state and ultimately on the stability of that state.
Both cases highlight, for different reasons, that leaders matter particularly when institutions are weak. This report contends that a critical causal mechanism in a successful transition from fighting a war to governing a country is establishing and maintaining legitimacy – both internally with the governed population and externally with key international partners. How leaders balance internally derived and externally derived legitimacy often proves to be important. External actors are often fundamental in bestowing legitimacy on armed groups, even when there are other groups claiming to represent the interests of the population. While externally derived legitimacy is important in getting these parties into power, sources of internal legitimacy, derived from their own populations by parties and leaders, are critical in shaping their ability to offer stable government. Each case demonstrates that legitimacy must be maintained in order to maintain stability. / XL2018

A Content Analysis of Mozambican Newspapers' Coverage of the 2004 Presidential ElectionNamburete, Eliana Munguambe 08 1900 (has links)
This study focuses on the amount of coverage given by four major tabloid newspapers-Demos, Zambeze, Savana and Domingo-to the candidates of the major political parties Renamo and Frelimo, during the 2004 presidential race. The number of stories of both parties in those newspapers were counted and calculated by chi-square to determine how much one party was covered than the other identifying signs of balance or bias. The research showed that there was a significant result of 42 percent of likelihood that stories in the four newspapers would either be about Frelimo or Renamo. However, the study also revealed that Frelimo was the party covered most often by Demos, Zambeze and Savana while Renamo was covered most often by Domingo.

Determining the contribution of tourism to poverty alleviation in Mozambique : case studies of Praia Bilene and Macanetta / Berni ValentinValentin, Berni January 2014 (has links)
Understanding the role that tourism play in poverty alleviation globally has been a research focus of many studies in different countries. For an extended period the trickle down method of wealth distribution, where it was believed that riches find its way down the value chain to the poor in terms of taxes spent on welfare, infrastructure, grants etc., was globally accepted. In recent years though, focus on tourism as tool for increasing economic growth and poverty alleviation has been placed at the centre. It is true that in many cases tourism made a difference in the lives of the poor but it is also true that in many instances this is not the case. This dissertation analysed the perceived contribution made by tourism to poverty alleviation in Mozambique in general, and Praia de Bilene and Macanetta peninsula in particular. These are pre-eminently tourist destinations and ideally suited for a study of this nature.
The primary goal of this dissertation was to determine the contribution of tourism to poverty alleviation in Mozambique by assessing Praia Bilene and Macanetta peninsula. The first objective was to describe and understand the link between tourism and poverty. It was found that the traditional definition of poverty no longer applies to most situations. That it is better to view poverty as a lack of access instead of money, access to natural resources, bureaucratic processes, capital markets and entrepreneurship. The review analysed different research methods, looking in depth at the livelihood analysis, ST~EP and MPI. The three pathways namely direct, indirect and induced levels on how tourism affects the poor were also explored. The most challenging area has to be the quantifying of tourism impacts on communities and local livelihoods. Concluding that the measurement of tourism impacts on poverty alleviation is an intricate debate and not easily accomplished.
The second objective was to analyse the current status of the tourism industry in Mozambique. With 48% of sub-Sahara living in poverty, the picture in Mozambique is even drearier, with 54% living under the poverty line and 81% living under the $2 poverty line in the country (OPHI, 2013:1), confirming that it is one of the world’s
poorest countries. Mozambique’s profile was analysed on its poverty status, tourism development, growth and the tourism impacts on the local communities of Bilene and Macanetta. It was found that several tourism opportunities are scooped up by foreigners and that this causes a major leakage of resources from regions where poverty alleviation by tourism is attempted. At a 7% GDP growth rate Mozambique is making very good progress, but due to being so poor and behind it is not reducing the poverty fast enough.
The third objective was to determine the perceptions of two Mozambique communities on tourism impacts and the impact of tourism on their poverty status by incorporating the multi-dimensional poverty index. A perception analysis was done by means of a structured questionnaire presented to random residents from all walks of life at the two specific locations mentioned. The correlation between MPI and perceptions of the impacts of tourism shown that resident’s perceptions of tourism do not influence their deprivation scores negative or positive. It was however determined in an open question that an overwhelming 4 out of 5 people felt that tourism did contribute to poverty alleviation. The perceptions and reality therefore differ.
The last objective was to draw conclusions and make recommendations with regard to the contribution of tourism to poverty alleviation in selected Mozambican communities. Conclusions were drawn as to the effectiveness of tourism as a strategic method in the onslaught against poverty in the selected communities. Amongst these conclusions was the fact that poverty seems to be an increasingly complex phenomenon. Due to the difficulty in defining poverty, a wide variety of research methods need to be used to assess the situation. No single approach to impact valuation of tourism on poverty can present all the answers.
Concluding in this analysis into poverty and tourism’s relationship it was determined that not only did the factual data show that tourism did not alleviate poverty at these locations but that the population, in stark contrast to empirical proof, determined in their own mind that they perceived a definite improvement due to tourism. Thus residents do
not necessarily receive personal benefits from tourism but they are positive towards the tourism industry. This should be utilised by creating opportunities for higher levels of participation in the industry as well as generating more tangible, positive affects for the local population in Mozambique. / MA (Tourism Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

A comparative analysis of quality of life and stigma experienced by people living with HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy in a home-based care project in Malema an Ribaue districts, MozambiqueMassicotte, Alexandre Claude Raynald January 2011 (has links)
Stigma is broadly considered as an important obstacle in HIV prevention and
treatment. In Mozambique, more PLWHIV have access to treatment than ever.
ART increased their QoL and created a new context for stigma production.
This cross-sectional study conducted in Northern Mozambique explored a
possible association between stigma and QoL. The Berger Stigma Scale and
WHOQOL-BREF were used to measure levels of HIV-related stigma and
perceived QoL in two groups of PLWHIV receiving ARV, with participation in a
HBC programme as the independent variable.
The study uncovered a weak to moderate negative correlation between stigma
and QoL scores. Statistically significant differences were discovered between the
groups’ scores on the Berger Stigma Scale and a higher perceived QoL for
PLWHIV in the HBC group on three WHOQOL-BREF subscales and on the
overall score. The scores on the social relationships subscale indicated lower
perceived QoL for PLWHIV in the HBC group. / Sociology / M.A. (Social Behaviour Studies in HIV/AIDS)

An analysis of population structure using microsatellite DNA in twelve Southern African populations of the Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus (Peters)Hall, Edward G. 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScAgric)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: DNA micro satellite loci express extensive allelic variation making them convenient markers for
research in many fields employing population genetic tools, including aquaculture and conservation
genetics. Twelve Oreochromis mossambicus populations from wild, captive and introduced sources
in Southern Africa were screened for genetic variation at ten CA repeat micro satellite loci. Three of
the loci - UNHI04, UNHlll, and UNH123 - were sufficiently well resolved to screen extensively
and were interpreted according to a model of Mendelian inheritance. Data was analyzed in terms of
genetic structure and levels of genetic variation, the effect of management regime in captivity
through successive generations on genetic diversity, and the nature of phylogenetic relationships
present between populations.
Exact tests, carried out using Monte Carlo type multiple resampling techniques, and F-Statistics
were used to detect and quantify genetic structure among the twelve populations. The Exact test X2
(P < 0.001), a FST of 0.27 (P < 0.001), eST of 0.26, RsT of 0.28, and a <l>ST of 0.17 all indicated
significant structuring among the populations. The evident genetic structuring endorsed the practice
of maintaining the populations as separate genetic stocks, in separate tanks, in order to preserve
unique genetic material for aquaculture strain development.
Populations also exhibited some significant deviations from Hardy Weinberg equilibrium
characterised by an overall reduced heterozygosity across the loci. In microsatellite studies, null
alleles are often suggested as major contributors to heterozygote deficits. To test for null alleles,
two controlled crosses of 0. mossambicus were made. The progeny from each cross were examined
for expected parental allelic ratios at the UNHI04, UNHlll and UNH123 loci. All three loci
presented evidence of possible null alleles.
Accelerated inbreeding and genetic drift through successive generations in captivity can reduce
heterozygosity and gene diversity. To investigate loss of diversity a sample taken from the
Bushmans population in 1999 (N = 25) was compared with a Bushmans 2000 sample (N = 36). The
comparison highlighted altered allele frequencies, a significant increase in average observed
heterozygosity and a non-significant change in average expected heterozygosity using the UNHI04
and UNH123 loci.
Calculation of genetic distances and phylogenetic comparisons between the populations provided
insight into the degree of management required in conserving genetic diversity in natural
populations of Mozambique tilapia. UPGMA and Neighbour-Joining techniques were used to
construct phylogenetic trees using Dm and ({)~)2 distance matrices. Clustering of populations
appeared to reflect geographic locality of the source populations, however certain populations were
not congruent with geography. Mantel tests were used to expose a possible association between
genetic distance matrices generated from each individual locus. An association would support a geographic background to population genetic structure. The Mantel tests did not provide conclusive
evidence. Mantel tests for association between the combined locus Dm and (81l)2 genetic distance
matrices and a geographic distance matrix were similarly non-significant.
Multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) plots of Euclidean distance values for Dm and (81l)2 matrices
presented a two-dimensional view of the genetic distance data. The degree of similarity with the
UPGMA and Neighbour-Joining tree-clustering pattern was higher for the (81l)2 than for the Dm
MDS plots. Scatter plots indicated a reliable non-linear correlation between Euclidean distance and
genetic distance for the two-dimensional MDS.
The micro satellite markers employed in this research provided molecular information needed for
complimenting a co-study on quantitative genetic evaluation of the twelve populations. The
quantitative co-study provided measures of average length and weight gain indices for the
populations based on progeny growth trials. No significant correlation of average heterozygosity
(gene diversity) with either average weight or length gain was found.
The significant genetic diversity and structure present between the twelve populations provided
rationale for implementing strategies to conserve natural 0. mossambicus populations as genetic
resources, and manage captive populations for long term maintenance of genetic diversity. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die verstaffing van groot alleliese variasie deur DNA mikrosateliete maak van hulle gerieflike
merkers vir navorsing in 'n verskeidenheid van velde wat gebruik maak van populasie genetiese
gereedskap, ingesluit akwakultuur en bewarings genetika. Twaalf 0. mossambicus populasies wat
verkry was vanuit die natuur, in gevangeneskap en ingevoerdes, van Suidelike Afrika was getoets
vir genetiese variasie by tien verskillende CA-herhalende mikrosateliet loci. Drie van die loci -
UNHI04, UNHlll en UNH123 - is op grootskaal getoets en volgens In model van Mendeliese
oorerwing geinterpreteer. Die data was ontleed volgens genetiese struktuur en vlakke van genetiese
variasie, die effek wat bestuur strategie in gevangeneskap op genetiese diversiteit in opeenvolgende
generasies uitgeoefen het, so wel as die aard van die filogenetiese verhoudings wat teenwoordig is
tussen die populasies.
"Exact" toetse is uitgevoer deur gebruik te maak van Monte Carlo tipe veelvuldige
hermonsterinsamelings tegnieke en F-statistieke is gebruik vir die deteksie en kwantifisering van
die genetiese struktuur tussen die twaalfpopulasies. Die Exact toets X2 (P < 0.001), 'n FST van 0.27
(P < 0.001), SST van 0.26, RsT van 0.28, en 'n <DST van 0.17 gee almal 'n indikasie van
betekenisvolle strukturering tussen die populasies. Die genetiese struktuur bevestig die beleid dat
die populasies behou moet word as aparte genetiese voorraad, in aparte tenke, om te verseker dat
die unieke genetiese materiaal behoue bly om akwakultuur variante te ontwikkel.
Populasies het ook betekenisvolle verskuiwings van die Hardy Weinberg ekwilibrium getoon, wat
gekarakteriseer word deur 'n algemene verlaging van heterosigositeit oor die loci. Nul allele word
dikwels aanbeveel om in mikrosateliet studies groot bydraes te maak tot hetersigotiese defekte. Om
vir nul allele te toets was twee gekontroleerde kruisings van 0. mossambicus gemaak. Die nageslag
van elke kruising was getoets vir verwagte ouer alleliese verhoudings by die UNHI04, UNHlll en
UNH123 loci. Al drie loci het getoon dat dit moontlike nul allele kan wees.
Versnelde inteling en genetiese drywing deur opeenvolgende generasies in gevangeneskap kan die
heterosigositeit en diversiteit verminder. Om die vermindering van diversiteit te toets was 'n
monster van die Busmans 1999 (N=25) populasie vergelyk met 'n monster van die Bushmans 2000
(N=36) populasie. Die vergelyking het veranderde alleel frekwensies, 'n betekenisvolle vermeerding
in gemiddelde waargeneemde heterosigositeit en 'n onbetekenisvolle verandering in gemiddelde
verwagte heterosigositeit getoon deur gebruik te maak van die UNHI04 en UNH123 loci.
Berekening van genetiese afstande en filogenetiese vergelykings tussen die populasies het nuwe
insig gegee oor die graad van bestuur wat nodig is om genetiese diversiteit in die natuurlike
populasies van 0. mossambicus tilapia te behou.UPGMA en Neighbour-Joining tegnieke was
gebruik om filogenetiese bome op te stel deur gebruik te maak van Dm en (OIl)2 afstand matrikse.
Populasie bondeling het geblyk om geografiese lokaliteit van die bron populasies te toon, alhoewel van die populasies nie met die geografiese lokaliteit ooreengestem het nie. Mantel toetse is gebruik
om 'n moontlike assosiasie tussen genetiese afstand matrikse wat verkry is van elke loci bloot te
stel. 'n Assosiasie sou 'n geografiese agtergrond tot populasie genetiese struktuur steun. Oortuigende
bewys is nie deur die Mantel toetse verskaf nie. Mantel toetse vir assosiasie tussen die
gekombineerde loci Dm en (OJ..l)2 genetiese afstand matrikse en In geografiese afstand matriks was
ook onbetekenisvol.
'n Tweedimensionele beskouing van die genetiese afstand data is voorgestel deur multidimensionele
skaal (MDS) grafieke van Euclidean afstand waardes van die Dm en (OJ..l)2 matrikse te
teken. Die graad van ooreenstemming met die UPGMA en Neighbour-Joining boom samevoeging
patroon was hoër vir die (OJ..l)2 as vir die DmMDS grafieke. Verspreiding grafieke het 'n vertroubare
nie-liniêre korrelasie tussen Euclidean afstande en genetiese afstande vir die twee-dimensionele
MDS grafieke getoon.
Die mikrosateliet merkers wat in die studie gebruik was het molekulêre informasie verskaf wat
nodig is vir 'n komplimentêre studie oor die kwantitatiewe genetiese evalueering van dié twaalf
populasies. Die kwantitatiewe studie het afmetings van gemiddelde lengte en gewig vermeerdering
van die populasies verskaf gebaseer op nageslag proewe. Geen betekenisvolle korrelasie van
gemiddelde hetersigositeit (geen diversiteit) was getoon met óf gemiddelde gewig óf lengte
vermeerdering.
Die betekenisvolle genetiese diversiteit en struktuur teenwoordig tussen die twaalf populasies het
rede gegee om strategieë te implimenteer om natuurlike 0. mossambicus populasies te konserveer
as genetiese bronne en om populasies in gevangeneskap te bestuur vir langtermyn instandhouding
van genetiese diversiteit.

China’s economic involvement in Mozambique and prospects for development : an analysis of the processes and impacts of major recent investmentsAlvarenga Rodrigues, Daniel Guilherme 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Political Science. International Studies))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / The great intensification of China’s engagement with Africa in the beginning of the 21st
century has brought about an equally vast body of literature concerning the general
motives and features of the engagement. The broad nature of such literature begs for
more focused and localised analysis that are able to complement and inform the ongoing
debate. This thesis aims to better understand how China’s policy towards Mozambique
affects the latter’s economic development. With this objective in mind each of the four
empirical chapters provides a fresh view over some of the most salient dimensions and
recent processes related to China’s involvement with Mozambique. The following is
analysed: China’s trade and investment with Mozambique; the Asian power’s economic
involvement in Mozambique’ agriculture sector; the participation of the China-Exim
Bank in the Mphanda Nkuwa dam negotiation process; and finally the participation of
Mozambique in the China-sponsored multilateral organisation of the Macau Forum. The
methodology used is primarily reliant on the analysis of secondary material
supplemented by a small number of informal interviews. The core secondary material
includes government investment agencies statistics, analysis of official documents,
policies and analysis of material such as NGO reports, studies and media reports. The
analysis corroborates the view that it mostly depends upon Mozambique’s governance
actors to make China’s engagement work towards its economic development and that
there is not a static set of monolithic neo-colonial tendencies overriding China’s
commitments towards the African country.
