| dc.description.abstract | This study was aimed at assessing the socioeconomic implications of residential relocation, i.e., changes in the socioeconomic and cultural situations of residents up on moving to the condominium housing, with particular emphasis on households living in the condominium houses of Jemo area in Addis Ababa. A cross sectional survey design was used to see the changes that these households experienced. A total of 209 condominium residents and officials of the housing agency were selected using a snowball sampling procedure of non-probability technique. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through small scale survey, in-depth interview and observation and analyzed both thematically and using SPSS version 20. The Human security Model was contextualized by the researcher to specifically fit to the main research purpose and was used to help the analysis of the data. It has been found that moving to the condominiums has improved the main housing facilities of relocatees compared to their previous area of residence. Moreover, the quality of the house and the sanitary situations of it and the surrounding environment have been found to be improved, among other things. However, moving to the condominiums, in sharp contrast to expectations, has also caused losses to the relocatees in many aspects in terms of dismantling the social fabrics of communities, reducing the income and employment opportunities of HHs, lack of access to social services such as public schools and health care facilities, and weakening neighborhood relationships | en_US |
