Abstract

This study examines determinant factors for the expansion of informal settlements in Gondar, a historical city in Ethiopia. In order to address this study objective, quantitative data were employed from 196 randomly selected households in four sites. The study indicated that a single factor is not determinant for the expansion of informal settlements in the city. The results of the study revealed that socio-economic, political and legislative, administrative, and demographic factors are statistically significant. These four dimensions together accounts 61.4 percent of all factors that facilitate the formation of informal settlement in Gondar city of Ethiopia. More specifically, socio-economic dimension is the first influential factor with 30.9%; political and legislative dimension is the second dominant factor with 15.7% followed by administrative dimension (10.2%); and demographic factors are contributed the least(4.6%) for the expansion of informal settlements. The study emphasized the need to implement appropriate urban planning, land and housing policy aimed at improving the efficient use of urban land. Improving the efficient use of urban land is imperative to address land prices and housing shortages, protecting farmland and ecosystems, and mainly to tackle land hoarding, urban sprawl and informal settlements.

埃塞俄比亚西北部贡达尔市非正规住区扩张的决定因素
本研究考察了埃塞俄比亚历史名城贡达尔非正式定居点扩张的决定因素。为了实现这一研究目标,从四个地点随机选择的196个家庭中采用了定量数据。研究表明,单一因素并不是城市非正规住区扩大的决定因素。研究结果显示,社会经济、政治和立法、行政和人口因素在统计上具有显著意义。这四个方面加起来占促成埃塞俄比亚贡达尔市非正式住区形成的所有因素的61.4%。更具体地说,社会经济因素是第一个影响因素,占30.9%;其次是政治和立法维度,占15.7%,其次是行政维度(10.2%);人口因素对非正规住区扩张的贡献最小(4.6%)。这项研究强调必须执行适当的城市规划、土地和住房政策,以改善城市土地的有效利用。提高城市土地的有效利用,是解决地价和住房短缺问题、保护农田和生态系统,主要是解决土地囤积、城市蔓延和非正规住区问题的关键。
