  • FOREWORD Statistical Data That Reflect the Socio-Economic And
    FOREWORD Statistical data that reflect the socio-economic and demographic conditions of the residents of a country are useful for designing and preparation of development plans as well as for monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the implementation of the development plans. These statistical data include population size, age, sex, literacy and education, marital status, housing stocks and conditions …etc. In order to fill the gap for these socio-economic and demographic data need, Ethiopia has conducted its third Population and Housing Census in the months of May and November 2007. The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia was conducted under the auspices of the Population Census Commission that was established by a proclamation No. 449/1997. The Commission is chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and the members of the commission were drawn from various relevant Ministries, Regional state representatives, House of Federation, National Electoral Board and the Central Statistical Agency, serving as the Office of the Census Commission (Secretariat). According to the proclamation, the processing, evaluation and analyses of the data collected in this census as well as its dissemination are the major responsibilities of this office. Thus, the Office of the Population Census Commission is pleased to present the census report entitled “The 2007 Population and Housing Census of Ethiopia: Statistical Report for Addis Ababa City Administration” for the users. Subsequently, another report which deals with detailed analysis of the result of the 2007 Population and Housing Census data is in the process of being prepared and will also be prepared and printed soon. Before the conduct of a census enumeration, numbers of preparatory activities were also carried-out.

  • Exporting Zionism
    Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Ayala Levin All rights reserved ABSTRACT Exporting Zionism: Architectural Modernism in Israeli-African Technical Cooperation, 1958-1973 Ayala Levin This dissertation explores Israeli architectural and construction aid in the 1960s – “the African decade” – when the majority of sub-Saharan African states gained independence from colonial rule. In the Cold War competition over development, Israel distinguished its aid by alleging a postcolonial status, similar geography, and a shared history of racial oppression to alleviate fears of neocolonial infiltration. I critically examine how Israel presented itself as a model for rapid development more applicable to African states than the West, and how the architects negotiated their professional practice in relation to the Israeli Foreign Ministry agendas, the African commissioners' expectations, and the international disciplinary discourse on modern architecture. I argue that while architectural modernism was promoted in the West as the International Style, Israeli architects translated it to the African context by imbuing it with nation-building qualities such as national cohesion, labor mobilization, skill acquisition and population dispersal. Based on their labor-Zionism settler-colonial experience,

  • IDENTIFYING MAJOR URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOTS (Rtabss): a SUB-CITY BASED ANALYSIS of EVIDENCES from the CITY of ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 15, No.2, 2013) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania IDENTIFYING MAJOR URBAN ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BLACK-SPOTS (RTABSs): A SUB-CITY BASED ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCES FROM THE CITY OF ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA Guyu Ferede Daie Addis Ababa University (AAU), Ethiopia ABSTRACT Despite its adverse socio-economic impact, a study on identification of road traffic accident black-spots (RTABSs) in Addis Ababa is either negligible or only a general attempt made for the city as a whole (National Road Safety Coordination Office, [NRSCO], 2005) without considering the specific experiences of each sub-city. The main aim of this study was, therefore, to identify the major accident black spots in each sub-city of Addis Ababa separately. For this purpose, secondary data obtained from Addis Ababa traffic police office was employed. The findings of the study revealed that there were 125 major accident black-spots in Addis Ababa as a whole. The distribution by sub-city shows10, 11, 24, 10, 21, 10, 20, 6, 4 and 9 RTABSs in Kirkos, Bole, Arada , Yeka, Lideta, Nifas-Silk/Lafto, Addis-Ketema, Akaki, Kolfe and Gullele sub-cities respectively. This has implication on the need for sustainable transport development planning. The RTABSs identified in each sub-city need to be focused while planning. Therefore, concerned bodies should encourage further investigation of specific causes for designing and implementing appropriate road safety control strategies in order to significantly reduce the incidence of road crashes in the city. This can be done by planning sustainable ways of designing transport system such as road networks that should accommodate the ever increasing number of vehicles followed by frequent inspection of vehicles themselves.

All views and opinions expressed therein remain the sole responsibility of the author, and do not necessarily represent those of the institute. Dedicated to my late mother Tekea Gebru and my late sister Zufan Sereke Abstract Urban quality of life (QoL) is becoming the subject of urban research mainly in western and Asian countries. Such attention is due to an increasing awareness of the contribution of QoL studies in identifying problem areas and in monitoring urban planning policies. However, most studies are carried out at city or country level that commonly average out details at small scales. The result is that the variability of QoL at small scales is not well known. In addition, the relationship between subjective and objective QoL is not well known.

The way they were designed, the way the people used them and the general image they give to the cities attracted my attention.

  • Commuter Exposure to Particulate Matters and Total Volatile Organic Compounds at Roadsides in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
    International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology https://doi.org/10.1007/s13762-018-2116-x ORIGINAL PAPER Commuter exposure to particulate matters and total volatile organic compounds at roadsides in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia A. Embiale1 · F. Zewge1 · B. S. Chandravanshi1 · E. Sahle‑Demessie2 Received: 17 May 2018 / Revised: 28 September 2018 / Accepted: 12 November 2018 © Islamic Azad University (IAU) 2018 Abstract People living in urban areas face diferent air-pollution-related health problems. Commuting is one of the high-exposure periods among various daily activities, especially in high-vehicle-congestion metropolitan areas. The aim of this work was to investigate the commuter exposure assessment to particulate matters with diferent aerodynamic diameter (< 1 µm to total suspended particles) and total volatile organic compounds using sensors called AROCET531S and AEROQUAL series 500, respectively. A total of 10 sub-cities at main roadsides of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, were selected, and the sampling period was during commuting time. The geometric mean of particulate matters with diferent aerodynamic diameters and total volatile organic compounds regardless of sampling time were ranged 6.79–496 and 220–439 µg m−3, respectively. The highest and the lowest concentrations for particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 1, 2.5, and 4 µm pollutants were seen at Kolfe Keranio and Nefas Silk-Lafto sub-cities, respectively. And, highest and the lowest values for particulate matter with aerody- namic diameter 7 and 10 µm and total suspended particles were noticed at Addis Ketema and Gulelle sub-cities, respectively. Besides, the highest and the lowest values for total volatile organic compounds pollutants were noticed at Addis Ketema and Nefas Silk-Lafto sub-cities, respectively.

Box 518, EiABC-Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia b Center for Development Research (ZEF), University of Bonn, Germany ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Handling Editor: Raffaele Lafortezza Cities in sub-Saharan Africa are rapidly growing and transforming. This leads to increased demand for accessible urban green spaces (UGSs). Various efforts have been made in order to address these issues. However, despite the Keywords: abundant scientificliterature available on the accessibility of UGSs in many parts of the world, only a few studies Addis Ababa have been conducted in sub-Saharan Africa and particularly in Ethiopia. The aim of this study is to fill this Ethiopia research gap with an empirical investigation of the accessibility of 23 existing public recreational parks (clas­ Network analysis sifiedhierarchically in City, Sub-city and Woreda Parks) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, by using a GIS based network Public recreational parks Sub-Saharan Africa analysis method at the sub-city level. The study is particularly relevant and urgent as the Addis Ababa City Urban green spaces Council is currently planning to establish 2730 ha of new recreational park area until 2027. The results show that the public recreational parks in Addis Ababa are relatively few in numbers, small in size and cover large service areas.
