| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the research is to analyze, interpret, discuss, and emanate policy and planning implications from the different aspects of deprivation. The different aspects of deprivations include deprivations of sustainable livelihood capital assets, monetary and non-monetary aspects of the multiple deprivations, and urban morphology aspects of deprivations. The research conducted for the interrelationship of deprivations of sustainable livelihood capital assets was an informal settlement area survey, key informant interviews, and an individual case study based on the informal settlement areas of Addis Ketema and Kolfe Keranyo sub-cities. The research reviewed the theoretical and empirical frameworks of poverty and informal settlement interventions. Then, the research analyzed and discussed the pattern of interrelationships between deprivations of sustainable livelihood capital assets, capability, and institutional aspects by triangulating with the deductive frameworks. This part of the research culminated with the proposal of an asset-based social policy for strategic issues from the analysis to be executed based on stages of asset accession, valorization, and transformation. The research also justified the rationales of area-based policy for multiple deprivations by analyzing, discussing, and interpreting the overlaps and coexistence of a multitude of problems in space through multivariate analysis, the spatial pattern of inequality through tools of local indicators of spatial association, and the disproportional deprivation of large populations from spatial and statistical analysis of deprivation versus population size and density. The overall spatial pattern of deprivation indicators from monetary and non-monetary aspects revealed a pattern of a divided city, the polarization of poverty, and a large and vulnerable population that was multiply deprived. The research also developed a Multiple Deprivation Index (MDI) based on MDI 2007 and MDI 2016 for city-wide Addis Ababa that reflects the multiple deprivations faced by the urban poor and is used for resource allocation for compensatory policy and urban regeneration interventions. The research also suggested the integrated achievement of SDGs 1, 4, 8, and 11 for tackling multiple deprivations. The research also demonstrated the relevance of urban morphology for analyzing and interpreting deprivations considering the conceptual level of slum ontology and the local context's definition of informal or formal settlement areas and housing based on very high-resolution imagery (VHR) for 2010 and 2022. As a result, the research indicated the magnitude of the effect of environmental factors on deprived areas using logistic regression analysis, delineated deprived (informal) and less deprived (formal) settlements based on settlement-level interpretation elements, and interpreted informal and formal buildings based on object-based random tree classification and quantification. As a result, the study quantified the extent and trends of deprived and less deprived areas for 2010 and 2022 from VHR. The study also interpreted and quantified deprived and less deprived buildings based on 2011 aerial photographs, using object-based classification. The study also computed the proportion of the population living in informal and formal settlements for 2010 and 2020. The aforementioned morphology-based deprivation is useful for monitoring SDG 11, prioritizing upgrading areas for curbing the challenges of urbanization, and computing the cost of deprived and less deprived buildings for neighborhood planning interventions. | |
