SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF SPRAWL ON THE CO...

This book addresses the socioeconomic and environmental implications of urban sprawl on the
coastline of Douala-Cameroon by making use of qualitative and quantitative research
methodology. The findings of the work portray that sprawl in Cameroon is orchestrated by
inadequate policy implementation  archaic master plan  inadequate information dissemination to
the public  inequality in the distribution of resources among the different regions of the
State and above all  the gaps elucidated by the traditional form of management. The work
upholds that livelihood strategies and environmental protection are intricately linked  and
therefore  there is a need for ICM as the management approach blends the two adequately. Based
on the experience drawn from Xiamen ICM  the study concludes that Douala needs an autonomous
coastal interagency to address the gaps punctuated by sectoral management  and thus  enhance
the sustainable management of its coastal milieu.
