2.4. Limitation of the Study
❑ In the way of conduction of this project I have come across many problems. Some of these
problems include:-
• Lack of reliable information from respondents and organizations.
• Shortage of time and finance
• Lack of organized and adequate data

10. 2.5. Data Source
A. Primary Data Source: The primary data gathered from residents, private and
governmental institutions of site through interview also questioner collected data
door to door (senses) from the households and Field observation on physical
conditions of housing, utilities, and road.
B. The secondary data sources: were also gathered from books, magazines, various
hand outs and electronic Medias.
2.5.1. Data Analysis Techniques
✓ Geo-Referencing the total station and GPS points.
✓ Digitizing, manipulating different spatial and non-spatial data analysis method of the
software.
✓ Analyzing slope, terrain mode through GIS analysis.
✓ Major tools used were: GIS software and AutoCAD software.

11. 2.6. Definition of terms and concepts in relation to Neighborhood
Development Plan (NDP)
❑ Neighborhood Development Planning: - It is a planning instrument through which the
implementations of a provision of the strategic/structural plan are realized.
1) Urban Upgrading: Intervention in slum areas by the introduction of economic, social, and physical
services and infrastructure and the improvement of the housing physical conditions thereby creating
better environment.
2) Urban Renewal: The process of demolishing and reconstructing central urban slums for economic
and urban image aims thereby creating better environment. It implies demolishing and relocating the
previous settlers to a different area outside their neighborhoods.
3) Gentrification: - The systematic development of lows income urbanities by higher income
households other from other parties of the inner city or by sub urbanities returning to the central city.
4) Slums: Urban Residential areas environmentally unfit for human living owing to the poor quality
and/or absence of basic physical, economic, and social amenities. Although generally understood as
living neighborhoods for the urban poor in the Ethiopian urban context, slums neighborhoods are
strongly mixed where the poor, the average and the well-to-do live together.

12. Cont.………..
5) Central Urban Decay:-Central urban slum areas created due to the deterioration of
physical, social and economic amenities as a result of old age.
6) Squatter Settlements:-Unplanned informal settlements on the urban periphery.
7) Informal Settlements:-Settlements who have been there for years and therefore have
developed a certain level of acceptable claims and rights, but still without full legal
rights to the land and the housing units.
8) Relocation:- The process of transferring the living and working area of citizens from
their established neighborhoods to new areas.
9) Re-settlement: The process of re-housing urban citizens that have been relocated either
on-site or off-site.
10) Urban Levels:-For the sake of this exercise, Ethiopian urban centers have been
classified into five levels: Small Towns (2,000-20,000 Population), Medium towns
(20,001-50,000 Population), Large Towns (50,001- 100,000 Population), Cities
(100,001-1,000,000 Population and Metropolis (Over a Million Population).

13. Cont.………..
11) Over-Crowdedness:- The state of residential neighborhoods where the net Population
density exceeds.
➢ 700P/ha for Metropolis.
➢ 500P /ha for cities.
➢ 300P /ha for Large towns.
➢ 200 p/ha for medium and small towns.
12) Slumization:- The process of the creation of slums of as a result of neglect of
settlements socially, economically and administratively.
13) Transitional Settlement:- A temporary settlement built for transitional period
(depending upon the local context) to shelter displaced slum dwellers until a formally
registered accommodation is arranged.
14) Urban Regeneration:- The process of reactivating and bringing back into life a
stagnated and declining socio-economic condition of an urban area. The process could
take a form of renewal or upgrading.

14. 2.8. Physical Analysis of Action Area

15. 2.9. Location of Action Area
➢ The study area was located in hadiya zone, Jamaya town. The study area is
geographically bounded by sheyambe village in the north, wanchikota village in the south
bonosha 01 in the east and wanchikota kebele in the west direction. It has different
location advantages like: main roads along the site: TVET and health center in the site,
stadium, secondary school and hospital are near to sites

10 - 15 7000 0.7 0.3%
>15 - - -
Total 250 100%

17. ❑ The following analysis can be made from the above Slope Map and table data.
i. The slope class of 0-2% It is the flat and hence subjected to flooding in
undulation(wavy) and requires high investment for realization for drainage system to
minimize or avert the negative impacts related to it during development. Its importance is:-
✓ Favorable for urban setting elements
✓ For construction of low cost houses, big industries big ware house.
✓ Very suitable for play fields
ii. The slope class 2-4% It is favorable for different urban setting and does not require
much cost of drainage system. Its importance is:-
✓ Favorable for urban setting
✓ For construction of low cost house
✓ For any kind of construction
iii. Slope class >4% This is the most dominant class of all. It is suitable for urban
settlement and has no difficulty to realize different infrastructure like road, drainage
system; Pipe line and building orientation etc. to different direction. It is acceptable for
urban system /setting.

21. 2.13. Existing Road Network
❑ Road is important for the development of economy as well as making safety
and security of social life.
❑ Good road network is a basic requirement for the overall development of the
area.
❑ Due to this in this site there are one types of street with their hierarchy and
surface finish.
❑ However most local roads the quality is poor. And the separation of carriage
way and pedestrian walk way are not separated properly in main asphalt.
❑ Unfortunately, poor road network is hampering the full-fledged development
of the action area and its surrounding. Different local road pattern and
hierarchy of roads are observed in the site.

22. Existing Road Pavement

❖ Road by Hierarchy Map

23. Major Findings about the Road:-
➢ The Road width in this site is below the standard.
➢ There is poor road network and majority of the roads are foot path
➢ In this site most of the road is died end.
➢ The main arterial road in this site does not consider disable person
and pedestrian.

24. 2.14. Existing Building Height
❑ Almost all of the buildings
are constructed in the
study area are G+0; So
that a small number of
people are using large plot
of land or the land in this
site are not used
intensively and this
implies high cost for
infrastructure provision.
