| dc.description.abstract | This study is conducted to analyze the assessment of spatial impacts of the Eastern Industry zone on the development pattern of the surrounding settlement of Dukem, Ethiopia. Dukem town is becoming an industrial hub in the Oromia region of Ethiopia due to its proximity to the capital city, Ethio-Djibouti Railway, Bole international airport, and Expressways. Those facts impact the physical settlements of the town. The east industry zone is one of the major industry spots in town. The study included both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, including spatial analysis using GIS techniques and survey methods. According to research findings, industrial park expansion has both beneficial and negative effects on the spatial settlements surrounding the industrial parks. Specifically, the factors that positively the pattern of spatial settlements around industrial parks include the area of land acquired due to the construction of industrial parks) Establishments of EIZ, investment of other industries & manufacturing, housing preference, informal access to land, and the number of neighborhoods established after the industrial park is built. Accordingly, the trend analysis of spatial settlement impacts has shown that the built-up area increased dramatically following the establishment of EIZ from 13.91 hectares (1.31%) in 2012 to 173.14 hectares (16%) in 2012, from 316.01 hectares (30 %) in 2016 to 578.23 hectares (55%) in 2018. Built-up areas consumed a significant number of other types, increasing from 13.91 hectares (1.31 percent) in 2012 to 964.16 hectares (91 percent) in 2023, while agricultural land decreased dramatically in all years, from 1,046.77 ha (65.12 percent) in 2009 to 92.38 ha (8.71 percent) in 2023, indicating its highest contribution to built-up areas. The forecast for future growth also indicated that the surrounding settlement will be covered by additional industries and dwellings. The location is already landlocked in the north and south with Bishoftu. As a result, while developing Industrial Parks, the government's anticipated future expansion should be factored into all policy and planning decisions.
