Abstract
This master thesis motive was to investigate the impact of urban redevelopment schemes on
relocated households in Addis Ababa city, and to identify determinant factors of satisfaction
level of relocates. The researcher used a mixed research approach and the research is both
descriptive and inferential/analytical in type. Both primary and secondary data were gathered
for this study. The primary data were collected from relocated site households and secondary
data were collected from different journals, books, papers, and other recorded documents. The
sample of displaces was selected through stratified random sampling and simple random
sampling methods. Data were gathered through questionnaires and in-depth interviews through
open-ended and close-ended questions. Primary and secondary data were analyzed based on
qualitative, descriptive, and inferential analysis methods depending on the type of data to be
collected. From this study, the researcher concludes that due to urban renewal projects,
relocates lost their social and informal interactions, jobs and locational advantages, and
sufficient compensation for their loss. The researcher also concludes that 69% of relocates
satisfaction level is determined by variables age, educational status, employment status,
transport access, and access to basic infrastructures. To alleviate these problems, the researcher
recommended for the concerned body to change the socio-economic conditions of relocates, to
participate the community, to work on determinant factors of satisfaction level to satisfy the
relocates.
