Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2020 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: Excellent, University of Douala, language: English, abstract: This study poses the problem of the insufficient contribution of the urban community health system on the emergence of Douala, coupled with the urban deviations from the Sustainable Development Goals. The study is anchored on the main question, which reads: Does the urban community health system contribute to the emergence of Douala, Cameroon? From this, four specific questions, objectives, and hypotheses are established in line with the main objective which is to assess the contribution of community health to the emergence of Douala. The main hypothesis stipulates that the present state of Community Health is a limiting factor to the emergence of Douala. The main theory exploited has been the demand and supply theory developed by Augustin Cournot in 1838, the possibilism and behaviorism theories were equally used. Concerning the methods, the geographical method of scientific research was used as well as the hypothetical - deductive and the approaches were structuralism, functionalism, and rationalism. The ten Health Districts of Douala were sampled using the quinary model, which permitted the collection of quantitative and qualitative data from institutional and non-institutional stakeholders. The primary and secondary data were analyzed with SPSS 21.0, Excel 2007, Adobe Illustrator 11 .0 and QGIS 22.0 software.
