Abstract
In some ways we can describe decision making as the most common human activity.
Almost every thing that we do involves decision. Viewed in other way, this indeed
implies that we have developed many innate mechanisms for effective intuitive decision
making in our best interest. However, some decision making are difficult and give rise
to the need to think through the process of decision making. With this understanding,
the study has investigated the effectiveness of Sebeta municipality's residential and
investment land allocation decision and the extent to which power of the officials are
being used equally and transparently in the allocation of town's land. To this end, the
result of the study shows that the municipality has official criteria in residential and
investment land allocation decision. However, the finding indicated that there are other
factors affecting land allocation other than the criteria set by the municipality such as
political participation, informal relationships, ethnicity and economic recognition.
