Goma is a millionaire city in eastern DRC facing natural and technological disasters. There is reason to say that its inhabitants live with fear in their stomachs despite their conservative spirit. Yet a strategic city since its creation, located between the Nyiragongo volcano in the north and Lake Kivu in the south with real constraints to its growth, the city also knows an urban anarchy because the rules of the art would be violated by a certain category of city-dwellers in certain places, such as on the shore of Lake Kivu, which moreover constitutes a zone of servitude. After confronting the reality on the ground with the regulations in terms of construction or town planning, it turned out that the urban habitat erected along the lake results from an urban anarchy legalized by the technical service in complicity with the other land actors on a high-risk area of tectonic origin capable of causing enormous damage such as the loss of human lives and material in the event of a tsunami. In view of this situation, the green belt, that is to say, revegetation was chosen as a new strategy for anticipating the danger of natural disaster.

Abstract
Goma is a millionaire city in eastern DRC facing natural and technological disasters. There is reason to say that its inhabitants live with fear in their stomachs despite their conservative spirit. Yet a strategic city since its creation, located between the Nyiragongo volcano in the north and Lake Kivu in the south with real constraints to its growth, the city also knows an urban anarchy because the rules of the art would be violated by a certain category of city-dwellers in certain places, such as on the shore of Lake Kivu, which moreover constitutes a zone of servitude. After confronting the reality on the ground with the regulations in terms of construction or town planning, it turned out that the urban habitat erected along the lake results from an urban anarchy legalized by the technical service in complicity with the other land actors on a high-risk area of tectonic origin capable of causing enormous damage such as the loss of human lives and material in the event of a tsunami. In view of this situation, the green belt, that is to say, revegetation was chosen as a new strategy for anticipating the danger of natural disaster.

Abstract: (french)
Goma est une ville millionnaire à l’Est de la RDC confrontée aux catastrophes naturelles et technologiques. Il y a lieu de dire que ses habitants vivent avec la peur au ventre malgré leur esprit conservateur. Pourtant une ville stratégique depuis sa création, située entre le volcan Nyiragongo au Nord et le lac Kivu au sud avec des vraies contraintes à sa croissance, la ville connait aussi une anarchie urbaine car les règles de l’art seraient violées par une certaine catégorie de citadins à certains endroits comme sur le littoral du lac Kivu qui constitue d’ailleurs une zone de servitude. Après avoir confronté la réalité du terrain à la règlementation en matière de construction ou d’urbanisme, il s’est avéré que l’habitat urbain érigé le long du lac résulte d’une anarchie urbaine légalisée par le service technique en complicité avec les autres acteurs fonciers sur un espace à haut risque d’origine tectonique capable de causer d’énormes dégâts comme la perte des vies humaines et matériels en de tsunami. Au regard de cette situation, la ceinture verte, c’est-à-dire, la végétalisation a été choisi comme une nouvelle stratégie d’anticipation au danger de catastrophe naturel.
