Neighbourhoods that were once considered unsuitable for construction and very humid are now areas with a high human concentration. We chose to assess the phenomenon in the area of Awae V located in Yaoundé IV district. We therefore came up with the following question: "Does uncontrolled occupation of swampy areas have an impact on the spread of diseases? To answer this question, we have formulated the following general hypothesis: "Uncontrolled occupation of swampy areas has an impact on the spread of diseases".After exploitation of our instrument of data collection what be questionnaire in view of the conclusions of these results, we can say that the uncontrolled occupation of swampy areas impacts the spread of diseases at Awae V in the Yaoundé town in Cameroon and we have suggested the solution vanguardto permit to the govemment to accomplish his objectifs.
