dc.description.abstractThis paper tries to analyze the Urban Land Laws to urban good governance in the case of Adama city administration. Though the proclamation enacted to resolve some problems and challenging urban land governance matters and ensure the property rights of the beneficiaries, it lacks not considering some essential elements. Thus, the urban land laws has no transparency, accountability and unable to protect property rights of the beneficiaries. Moreover, there is no uniformity in the payment of compensation in all places plus by ignoring value, grade and location of urban lands during compensation. During the substitute land, it is open for negotiation and thus exposed to corruption. Moreover, the concept public purpose is not clearly defined and as a result susceptible to wide range of interpretation and abuse of power by an appropriate body and government officials. The role of courts is also limited and gives ultimate power to an administrative tribunal and this in turn brings abuse of power by this organ. The non-inclusive of these essential elements in the proclamations i.e. urban land laws and lack of clarity of some provisions of the lease proclamation created bad governance on the beneficiaries in that, the administrative tribunal and other government officials use their power as they wish due to such gaps in the law. Both primary and secondary data collection systems are applied, however, majority of them collected through conducting interview of the beneficiaries, government officials and employees of land sector and judges of the city high court. The other data collected through physical observation and analyzing different laws. Therefore, it is recommended that the urban land lease law incorporates provisions that empower the judiciary in the implementation of the law so that individuals get fair compensation and minimize abuse of power by government officials. Particularly it advises those concerned government organs responsible with the urban land administration to give due care during the implementation of expropriation procedure and take proper measures to reduce the impact of expropriationen_US
