Its aim is to work with the local landowning communities to develop appropriate plans and approaches to long term management which integrate their objectives for social and economic development with the conservation of the environment and its biodiversity. It is based on community recognition of the biodiversity of the KCCA as the critical resouce base for future generations. The area's biodiversity has long been recognised as a national priority for conservation. It has also been seen as having 6a imFortant potential for a new commtmity based approach to conservation. The Environment and Conservation Division (ECD) of the Ministry of Forests, Environment and Conservation (MFEC) is the lead agency for the project. It has liaised closely with the South Pacific Biodiversity Conservation Programme (SPBCP) - a regional programme of assistance managed by the South Pacific Regional Environment Prograrrnre (SPREP) and funded via the United Nations Development Programme ([JNDP) by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and AUSAid, in developing the project as one of the SPBCP regional projects. The project was initially designed in conjunction with lhe proposed Komarindi Hydroelectric Power Project. While this project is still anticipated, its planning has been subject to a complex series of delays and defermeils, and the KCCAP has progressed independently, although with the potential for the future integration of the hydroelectric scheme. In essence the KCCAP is a "process oriented" project. Its fundamental premise is that community understanding of, commitment to, and central involvement in the project is essential for its long term sustainability. The emphasis is firstly on facilitating the establishment of an appropriate community based management structure, and secondly the development of participatory planning and management of the KCCAP. The project seeks to ensure the maximum level of corununity involvement in both its design and implementation as possible. As the project progresses, and in particular, as levels of training and experience grow within the communities, the overall responsibility for project management will progressively pass to the communities themselves. The Existing Situation The Komarindi Catchment Conservation Area (KCCA) covers an approximate area of 19,300ha located in the central highlands of the western end of Guadalcanal Island, the largest island in the Solomons Soup (Figure l). The project area is within 8-l0km of the south-west coast and approximately 4-6km from Honiara on the north-east coast. The area centres on the Komarindi River catchment, but also includes the catchments of the Charahi Rivern the Ohe Stream and White River (Figure 2). Together with other tributaries, the Komarindi flows into the Lungga River which flows northwards across the Guadalcanal plain. It has been proposed that the KCCA also include part of the Honiara karst area west and south west of the White River village (Konggulai). The final boundary of the KCCA will depend on on-going consultation with landowners, and ecological surveyo however the boundaries currently reflect the original focus on catchment protection, and, apart from the access corridor from White River Village, constitute catchment boundaries. The Solomon Islands are recognised as having biodiversity unique on a global scale, and as being regionally most significant. The island group as a whole has been identified as a sepirate biogeographic province within the South Pacific area. Both the flora and fauna of the tropical rainforests of the Solomon Islands are acknowledged to be highly diverse and abundant. It is believed that for bird species, not even in the Galapagos Islands is the phenomenon of speciation and population variation between islands as cornmon. The level of endemism is high compared to other Pacific island countries: . 44o/o of land bird species and 38% of avian sub'species are considered to be endemic. approxfunately 30% of reptile species are endemic . 38o/o of amphibian species are endemic . it is likely that around 50% of mammal species are endemic. the limited biological information available on the Komarindi catchment and adjoining Lungga Plateau indicates that this area is representative of the diversity which characterises the rainforest environment of the Solomon Islands and that it provides habitat for some of the Solomon Islands'rare and endangered species. The significance of the KCCA is underlined by the threats to its resources and overall biodiversity that are treginning to be faced, such as an increasing presstre for loggmg. The potential of the project itself is, however. noteworthy for the interest that the landowning communities have in sustainable conservation menagement of the resources of the area over the long term" The communities have recopnised the importance of the KCCA to them. and their long term dependence on its resources. At the same time they are aware of their own pressing development needs. They have indicated their considerable interest in the project's assistance with their own long term sustainable management of their resources. The Project Within the overall scope of the SPBCP aims and objectives, the specific aim of the KCCAP is: To consertte the KCCA in perpetaity as a basis for sustainable development and the maintenance of biodivenity in the catchment with the participation of landowner communities. To achieve this airq the specific objectives of the project are: 1. To protect and conserve the native fauna and flora, habitats and the essential ecological proce,sses that maintain them. 2. To protect and conserve the cultural, historical and archaeological values of the KCCA. 3. To provide an effective and participatory process for establishing acceptable and appropiate managernent planning for the KCCA which meets the needs of both landovwters and the consentation of biodiversitv. 4. To establish effective and appropriate project management aftangements (including both guideltnes and structures) vthich will ultimately operate at the local community level. 5. To provide opportunities for appropriate sustainable traditional uses of the resources of the KCCA. 6. To provide appropriate opportunities for sensitive ecotouism development. 7. To provide oppottunities for sensitive, compatible and sustainable development activtties. 8. To maintain the catchment in a suitable condition to sustain a potable water supply for Honiara. The project is designed around activities that are targeted at achieving these

Any omission and error or otherwise is my own and the main content of this thesis has not previously submitted for any degree in any other University. ………………… Lincy Pende Date: A Statement by Supervisor I hereby confirm that the work contained in this thesis is of Lincy Pende unless otherwise acknowledged. ………………………. Dr. Manoranjan Mohanty Date: ii ABSTRACT Urbanisation is an inevitable process of development in developing countries. It presents both challenges and opportunities. In most of the developing countries however, the rate of urban growth outstretches the abilities of cities to cope. The urban growth put pressure on civic authorities, making them under-resourced in providing basic urban services at adequate levels. Consequently, cities and towns have become centers of more problems rather than opportunities for progress. The present study aims to investigate the impact of urban growth on the provision of water-supply and sanitation services in Honiara City. The study is underpinned by the key proposition that rapid urban growth has adverse impact on water and sanitation services.
