| dc.description.abstract | Addis Ababa has been subjected to different kinds of urban developments which are undertaken at different times: past and present. The city is now witnessing the product of these two kinds of urban developments. The places created by these two urban development activities vary significantly; some places in the past developments arguably, to a certain level, have good place attributes which can be prototypes. They have good physical setting, activities and impart strong meanings. On the other hand the present developments lack strong place attributes. They have problems in the physical setting, in the activities that take place in these areas and in the meanings they impart. This requires proper investigation in to which places do people prefer, to what extent the past urban development areas are having the place attributes and recent urban development areas are lacking them. The investigation was made by studying two places selected from the rapidly growing urban areas in Addis Ababa and the other from the past developments. That is, Captain H/G/Sellassie Street (CHAGS) and Lagar Railway Station-Beherawi Theatre (LRS-BT) areas respectively. The study was made by measuring the two places with place preference (attachment) indicators and place attributes or urban design qualities which are collected from different sources. These were further refined in to two pillars of evaluation. The first was questionnaires for users of place in each location and the second was the expert evaluation format with which an expert evaluation was made in the two places. The target of questionnaires was to find out important components of places as answered by respondents in the two case study areas: the place preference of respondents and their opinions on place attributes (urban design qualities). The place preference component targeted to find out place preference, reason for place preference and the level of attachment. On the other hand the place attributes component of the questionnaire dealt with the level of place attributes as indicated by respondents. As to investigation on place attachment, questions were that deal with place preference, reason of preference, level and kind of place attachment were added to the questionnaires | en_US |
