| dc.description.abstract | Sanitation is the hygienic means of promoting health through prevention of human contact with the hazards of wastes (physical, microbiological, biological or chemical agents of diseases).The Sanitation problems are very obvious and harsh in slum areas as they are characterized by dilapidated and poor housing structures, poor ventilation, high density, and imperfect alignment of streets, and scarcity of safe drinking water, absence of toilet facilities and non-availability of basic physical and social services which can accelerate the transmission of various air and water borne diseases. These sanitation problems are the case for almost all the Slum neighborhoods of Addis Ababa as the slums of the city are sharing the character of the slums. Sanitation Provision in the city is grossly deficient: Most do not have access to hygienic toilets; large amount of fecal waste is discharged to the environment without proper treatment. These improper waste discharging is affecting the public health and quality of life as fecal sludge contain high concentration of pathogen pollutants. This thesis paper is the pioneer research clearly show the sanitation issues of a Slum Neighborhood in Addis Ababa; Lideta Sub-city of Woreda 05 (pervious Kebele 43) and Woreda 09 (pervious Kebele 47) locally known as ‘Kochi Sefer’ specifically focusing on Jamare River. Both descriptive and explanatory research methods where used and also mixed types of quantitative and qualitative data were collected from primary data sources through in-depth site investigation, household survey and contact methods; and from secondary data sources through reading and note-taking; scanning and photocopying; browsing and extracting trusted websites. Beside other softwares, Arc GIS, SPSS Softwares were mainly used to analyze the data and the Realtime Landscaping Architect 2012, 3D Home Architect, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Adobe Illustrator CS5, Google Sketch up 8, ArchiCAD 12 and AutoCAD 2007 were among the softwares used in working with maps and illustrating Photos. With the aid of the described methodologies, poor sanitation facilities such as deteriorated and unimproved toilets, nose aching drainage lines and improper solid and liquid waste disposal were the main sanitation problems identified with their root causes. Finally, possible on-site strategies based on environmental and landscape design with appropriate recommendation were proposed. Keyword: - strategies, poor Sanitation, Slum Neighborhood | en_US |
