Abstract: (french)
Cette recherche menée dans la ville de Bukavu à l’est de la République Démocratique du Congo (RDC) essaie de comprendre les motivations du choix des sites à haut risque par les ménages et analyse les problèmes sociaux, environnementaux et sanitaires des ménages vivant sur les sites à haut risque à Bukavu ainsi que les solutions envisagées par ces derniers. Pour récolter les données, des enquêtes par questionnaire auprès de 390 ménages ont été réalisées. Le logiciel SPSS version 18.0 et l’analyse de contenu ont été utilisés pour analyser les données. Les résultats montrent que le choix des sites à haut risque par les ménages sur les sites à haut risque s’explique par la crise de logement dans la ville de Bukavu, liée à la carence d’espace face à une explosion démographique, aux prix fonciers exorbitant, à la croissance l’exode rural et à la permissivité de l’administration. Les populations habitant sur les sites à haut risque à Bukavu éprouvent de sérieux problèmes dont le risque de glissement des terrains, le risque des éboulements des terres, le risque des inondations, le risque des accidents domestiques, le risque des chutes, le risque de l’affaissement des terrains, le risque des chocs. Il s’observe aussi sur les sites à haut risque à Bukavu, une fréquence élevée des pathologies dont le paludisme, la grippe, la fièvre typhoïde, les maladies diarrhéiques et les maladies respiratoires. Ces problèmes sont dus à l'expansion d'établissements humains illégaux où presque toutes les conditions sociales, environnementales et sanitaires ne sont pas réunies. Il apparait clairement que la plupart des solutions envisagées par les ménages vivant sur les sites à haut risque à Bukavu ne sont pas efficaces.
