The environment is a key factor in the quality of life. If it is precarious, it will undermine it. The uncontrolled construction in the city of Bukavu and particularly in the area Cimpunda has negative consequences on the environment and on humans. The first (environment) suffers upheavals, sometimes irreversible, followed by the imbalance of ecosystems related to uncontrolled building on unsuitable sites the second (man) suffers from deterioration of quality of life due to the lack of sewerage and other infrastructure, the water supply insufficient or garbage collection services. The Cimpunda district, with an average altitude of 1569m, experienced and still been growing, unprecedented, its population through time from 35000habitants in 2010 to 45000 in 2015; a situation following a high birth rate, death rate declining and the rural exodus. This population growth without spatial growth, has led to negative consequences, among other anarchic constructions which do not leave intact the environment in the suburban areas of the city of Bukavu: overextension of the population, floods unhealthy, the loss of green areas and other ecosystems. Diagnostic realized in this work thus sets in parallel the induced effects of uncontrolled construction and destruction of the environment in this popular area of the city of Bukavu.

Abstract
The environment is a key factor in the quality of life. If it is precarious, it will undermine it. The uncontrolled construction in the city of Bukavu and particularly in the area Cimpunda has negative consequences on the environment and on humans. The first (environment) suffers upheavals, sometimes irreversible, followed by the imbalance of ecosystems related to uncontrolled building on unsuitable sites the second (man) suffers from deterioration of quality of life due to the lack of sewerage and other infrastructure, the water supply insufficient or garbage collection services. The Cimpunda district, with an average altitude of 1569m, experienced and still been growing, unprecedented, its population through time from 35000habitants in 2010 to 45000 in 2015; a situation following a high birth rate, death rate declining and the rural exodus.

Abstract: (french)
L'environnement est un des facteurs essentiels de la qualité de la vie. S'il est précaire, il compromettra cette dernière. Les constructions anarchiques dans la ville de Bukavu et particulièrement dans le quartier Cimpunda ont des conséquences néfastes sur l’environnement et sur l’homme. Le premier (environnement) souffre des bouleversements, parfois irréversibles, suivis par le déséquilibre des écosystèmes liés à des constructions anarchiques sur des sites impropres ; le second (l’homme) pâtit de la détérioration de sa qualité de vie due à l’absence de réseau d’assainissement et d’infrastructures diverses, à l’insuffisance de l’alimentation en eau ou des services de ramassage des ordures. Le quartier de Cimpunda, avec une altitude moyenne de 1569m, a connu et connait encore une croissance, sans précédent, de sa population à travers le temps passant de 35000habitants en 2010 à 45000 habitants en 2015 ; une situation consécutive à un taux de natalité élevé, un taux de mortalité en baisse et à l’exode rural. Cette croissance démographique, sans croissance spatiale, a entrainé des conséquences négatives, entre autre des constructions anarchiques qui ne laissent pas intacte l’environnement dans ce milieu périurbain de la ville de Bukavu : extension démesurée de la population, les inondations l’insalubrité, la disparition des espaces verts et d’autres écosystèmes. Le diagnostique réalisé dans ce travail établit donc en parallèle les effets induits des constructions anarchiques et la destruction de l’environnement dans ce quartier populaire de la ville de Bukavu.
