| dc.description.abstract | This study has assessed the neighborhood indicators of Addis Ababa condominium housing program to encourage the use of physical proximity and disparity for sustainable urban development. Neighborhood indicators are quantitative measures of neighborhood quality, including measures of attributes such as crime, noise, proximity to parks, transit services, social capital, and student performance. However, condominium housing neighborhood is very complex and it has multi-dimensional impact, there is an opportunity of physical proximity and a potential of disparity hidden in the society. Thus, the research design used was a mixed approach; which incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Questionnaires have been distributed for condominium house inhabitants on a random basis by using proportionate sampling method in Jammo, Gofa Mabirat, Gotera, Summit, Bole Arabisa and Yeka Abado sites. Personal Interview and discussion was conducted with housing officials from AAHCP office, AAHA, and MUDH. Percentage, mean, tables, and graphs were generated using SPSS to analyze and examine the quantitative data. Furthermore, group discussions were made with the residents and LDP document analyzed and elaborated qualitatively. Although the program has introduced new way of housing for the society that has never imagined, the result of this survey shows that the low level of neighborhood quality is affecting the day to day life of the residents. According to the survey results, there is very weak social cohesiveness that results in different social costs; poor safety and security level that exposed inhabitants to different crimes, disturbance, drugs and immoral practice. On other hand, there is poorly developed neighborhood with respect to open space and recreational centers like children playground and youth center and also shortage of social service centers in nearby like health centers and schools that affect the future human capital development. In addition, there is low level of infrastructure investments, poor linkage with employment centers and industries that affecting the wellbeing of the inhabitants. In general the idea of condominium houses is noble but the implementation has many problems. Therefore, this study can be used as a reference on future condominium projects to improve the neighborhood quality for sustainable urban development. | en_US |
