| dc.description.abstract | Emerging urban transition processes like that of Ethiopia are likely to have not only development and knowledge problems but also problems of research or the process with which solutions to the first two problems are searched. This research belongs to a thematic research group consisting of 14 researches concerned with the three problems. One of the researches was dedicated to study of the third problem while the remaining were planned, on the one hand, to deal with the first two problems and, on the other, to test the recommendations of the research on the research process. Accordingly, the objectives of this research will be, on the one hand, to investigate the development and knowledge problems pertaining to outdoor signage and the Publicly Accessible Domain (PAD) of the city, which is considered as its soul and an important input for improvement of quality of life particularly for the majority whose access to high quantity and quality private domain is limited in developing country cities like Addis Ababa, and, on the other, to test the said recommendations. A qualitative research methodology including interview, document review, analysis of implemented signage designs, and discussion were used for the research. The research indicates that there is significant gap in the literature on outdoor signage management system for contexts like Ethiopia where low level and slow industrialization but rapid rate urban transition is likely to lower management capacity, create public and private domain space quantity constraints, and introduce the unmanaged/informal signage containers like buildings and open spaces. | |
