| dc.description.abstract | Planned urban development is a phenomenon recently getting a wide acceptance throughout the country in genera and in the study town in particular. Following this fact, Dilla town had been prepared plan for two distinct times (1967 by Italian consultant and 1998 by NUPI). However, when we examine its implementation and management rigorously in the real ground the situation is bounded with a number of problems. When superimposing this to Dilla's current situation in which the town stayed for a half decade by implementing dated out development plan (envisaged to serve only ten years 1998-2008); it could not be exaggeration to one to say urban developments are held without proper or fully consideration of plan. Furthermore, none of the time the implementation, performance and management of the stated plans has been evaluated and monitored. The ultimate goal of urban plans and designs lies in its successful implementation. Urban development without pre-planned activities causes a mess of urban problems, and laissez-faire development having long term repercussions. This research is attempted to exploited the real problems pertained in Dilla town plan/design implementation and management, and then pin points the better means that can potentially foster the socio-economic development of the town. The research work approached with explaining the identified gaps while planning periods. Then after brief descriptions both qualitatively as well as quantitatively employed to describe and provide magnitude of the problems. These are performed through direct on spots observation of the implementation trends, interviewing the direct beneficiaries those believed to have exposure to the issues under study. Spatial physical plan documents like land use, road network, local development plans, etc and reported documents like text summery while plans prepared, municipal reports related with plans and designs implementation and administration have been engaged as a main methodologies for the development of the entire study. Even though, there exists fragmented efforts to guide the socio-economic development of Dilla town in various periods and persons it is found out that the overall performances of plan and design implementation and management is held with bundles of problems. The majors among many are: Institutional capacity of implementing bodies mainly connected with poor documentation of the plan resources, shortage of plan/design making and implementing professionals, skill gaps of available human/personnel resource, shortage of equipments and facilities required for planning and implementation process, shortage of financial capacity and proper utilization of it. Gaps during planning process, absence of means for facilitating implementation, absence of plan monitoring, evaluation and updating trends, absence or lack of stakeholder participation and interference, presence of areas where the boundary till not well delineated, presence of 6 rooms for illegal/informal settlements, are real and major upfront problems among many in the context of Dilla town. Finally, all stake holders at various levels to be equipped with full information about these problems mention here above and had to give especial attention and the clients critically establish unique means and strategies to follow-up and ascertain: Use of up-to-date and recent map information and aerial photo for the acquisition of accurate topographic maps and existing realities; Conduct and properly forecasted socio-economic linkages study from all possible influential areas; Consistency of Graphic/spatial representations with implementation strategies, planning goals, objectives and text report; Ways how public participated and reverse/rectify the immediate mistakes of implementation; Production of all relevant documents of planning processes in hard copies and in soft copies during planning as well as implementation period. Particularly, zonal administers/city governors/Dilla municipality critically examines and ascertain periodically: Weather the city had had and under-go in accordance with development plan; Monitor professional, managerial, financial, technical, equipments, etc capacity and situation and then adapt oneself in accordance to expected output and potential of the city | en_US |
