| dc.description.abstract | Green infrastructures are defined as parts of urban area with a mix of street side and median trees, neighbourhood parks, sport fields, cultivated land, porous and pervious surfaces, wetlands, lakes, and streams etc that are interconnected. Thus this paper is aimed at assessing green infrastructures and their planning processes of Condominium housing projects in Addis Ababa formulating objectives to answer questions of green infrastructure typologies, land cover proportion, implementation and management strategies. The study used both qualitative and quantitative methods by administering questionnaire, interview and field observation as data collection tools using purposive and random sampling techniques. In purposive sampling; twelve professionals, six officials and six condominium associations who directly involved in the plan preparation, implementation and/or management of green infrastructures were selected while forty seven households who are living in the three selected sites such as Gerji(1), Gellan(1) and Lideta sites were selected randomly . Based on the findings and discussion it is understood that the green infrastructures which were proposed in the neighbourhood design did not define typologies but simply give general terms like green and open spaces. However, the open spaces proposed in the neighbourhood design have already existed in the sites though the management and development of such spaces are poor. Therefore, to solve the problems which has been found in the discussion; the green infrastructure typologies and their land cover proportion, implementation and management strategies should be clarified during the proposal phase and there must be coordination among stake holders taking their mandate and responsibility to implement, develop and manage green infrastructures to make the neighbourhood suitable and safe for living and working. | en_US |
