| dc.description.abstract | The first dilemma that millions of poor in urban areas of the developing world face and which is likely to persist for a long period was the question of adequate housing. In this regard, 70 percent of the urban population of Ethiopia is living in slums and squatter settlements. This research study was focus on the trend of squatter settlements in Burayu city in Oromiya National Regional State, Ethiopia. The research tries to identify the practices of squatting and assess the local government responses in Burayu city. By the combination of random and purposive sampling method, 300 squatter households were selected from different parts of the city and quantitative data and qualitative information were collected from primary as well as secondary sources to analyze. The result shows that squatter settlements growth rate is alarming and long run practice in its nature with an average growth rate of 18.6% per year in the past five years. Currently there is also a residential area development without legal claims to the land and/or permission from the concerned authorities to build; the overwhelming proportion 85% of respondents claimed that construction of illegal houses has continued. The main actors behind such illegal settlement were networked government bureaucrats and brokers, and the root cause for development and expansion of squatter settlements in Burayu city is not only economic scarceness of the squatter households; awkward procedures and very poor performance of LDMA to deliver the land to the aspirants was also a reason to the expansion. Since Government of Ethiopia is becoming incapable to provide funds for the provision of these essential facilities in the face of other competing needs of the citizenry, government should be innovative in their financing. In this wise, Public – Private - Initiative should be explored. Since private investors were going to be involved, they need adequate return to make their involvement remain on a sustainable level, consequently; the urban poor need to be economically empowered in order to be able to afford the payment for some of these facilities which would be provided under this arrangement. Management of squatting activities and squatter settlements was crucial. Effort should be geared towards checking the development of new squatter settlements. Secondly, early occupation and adequate policing of acquired land would prevent encroachment. Erection of signposts informing and warning unsuspecting buyers and developers that the land was committed will help a lot in this regard. Due to the sensitive nature of this thesis the study participant’s willingness to freely fill research questions was less. It was very significant to note that not much conclusive research had been done in the title. In some situations the quote theory might be more applicable than in other situations, however this should not be regarded as the fact before more decisive research was done. | en_US |
