Jönköping June 2, 2009 Jenny Mattsson Abstract in Swedish Abstract in Swedish Som ett av de fattigaste länderna i världen står Tanzania inför en ekonomisk problematik som inte minst påverkar bostadssituationen i landet. Bostäderna är undermåliga i hela landet, särskilt på landsbygden, där den största delen av befolkningen bor i lerhus. Rapporten är inriktad på moderna hus och syftar till att hitta hållbara billiga lösningar som ska kunna användas som alternativ till befintliga konstruktionsmetoder och utformningslösningar. Studien baseras på en fältstudie i Mambadistriktet Kilimanjaro i Tanzania under 8 veckor under 2009. De traditionella lerhusen är mycket dåliga och lever inte upp till en god levnadsstandard. Levnadsvillkoren är mycket primitiva i dessa hus och utgör en hälsorisk för de boende. Moderna hus ger en bättre levnadsstandard och är en bra investering för framtida generationer. Utformning och teknik kan effektiviseras och förbättras och byggkostnaderna kan minskas genom alternativa byggnadsmetoder. Byggkostnader kan minskas på flera sätt. Fokus bör ligga på att använda lokala material för att minimera dyra transportkostnader. Betong är det enskilt dyraste byggnadsmaterialet och bör i största möjliga mån ersättas med andra material. Det är dock viktigt att hållbarheten i konstruktionen inte försämras. På lång sikt lönar det sig att investera i hållbara konstruktioner, även om byggkostnaderna blir högre. Denna studie har resulterat i flera hållbara lågkostnadsalternativ, till den nuvarande byggnadstekniken, som lokala husbyggare med fördel kan använda i byggnationer. Traditionen är stark i Tanzania och förändringar kan ta lång tid att genomföra, men de förändringar som föreslås och diskuteras i denna rapport kan ses som en god grund för att inleda en utveckling av den nuvarande byggnadsutformningen och byggnadstekniken i Mambadistriktet. 1 Abstract Abstract As one of the poorest countries in the world, Tanzania faces various kinds of problems. The housing situation is poor in the whole country, especially in rural areas where the main part of the population lives in mud houses. The report is focused on modern houses and is aimed at finding sustainable low cost solutions to be used as alternatives for existing techniques. The report is based on a field study in the Mamba district, Tanzania during 8 weeks in 2009. The traditional mud houses are poor and do not live up to a decent standard of living. The living conditions are extremely primitive in these houses and pose a health risk to the occupants. Modern houses provide a better standard of living and are good investments for future generations. The building design and technology can be rationalised and improved and building costs can be reduced through alternative methods. There are several ways in which building costs can be reduced. Focus should be on using local materials to minimise expensive transport costs. Cement is the single most expensive building material and should be replaced by other materials where possible. However, it is important that sustainability of the construction is not impaired. In the long term, it is better to invest in proper sustainable building structures even if the costs will increase. This study has resulted in sustainable low cost alternatives to the current building technology that the local builders can benefit from. Tradition is strong in Tanzania and changes may take long to implement. The alterations suggested and discussed in this report can be considered as a good basis for development of the current building design and technology in the Mamba district. Key Words Building Design, Building Material, Building Technology, Low Cost Solutions, The Mamba district, Modern Housing, Sustainable Solutions, Tanzania, Traditional Housing. 2 Table of Contents Table of Contents 1 Introduction ............................................................................ 5 1.1 BACKGROUND........................................................................................................................5 1.2 AIM OF THE REPORT...............................................................................................................5 1.3 LIMITATIONS..........................................................................................................................6 1.4 OUTLINE ................................................................................................................................6 1.5 METHODS...............................................................................................................................6 1.5.1 Observations and Interviews ............................................................................................6 1.5.2 Literature and Other Sources of Information ...................................................................7 2 An Overview of Tanzania ...................................................... 8 2.1 GEOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE....................................................................................................8 2.2 PEOPLE AND SOCIAL CONDITIONS..........................................................................................9 2.3 POLITICS AND ECONOMICS.....................................................................................................9 3 Mamba District and the Chagga People .......................... 11 4 Today's Architecture and Technology............................... 12 4.1 HOUSING SITUATION IN TANZANIA ......................................................................................12 4.1.1 Urban and Rural Areas ..................................................................................................12 4.1.2 Geographical Variations ................................................................................................13 4.1.3 Legislation ......................................................................................................................13 4.1.4 Building Institutions........................................................................................................13 4.2 TRADITIONAL MUD HOUSES IN THE MAMBA DISTRICT........................................................14 4.2.1 Introduction ....................................................................................................................14 4.2.2 The Beehive Formed House............................................................................................14 4.2.3 Mud Houses of Today .....................................................................................................15 4.2.4 A Poor Way of Living .....................................................................................................16 4.3 MODERN HOUSES IN THE MAMBA DISTRICT ........................................................................17 4.3.1 Introduction ....................................................................................................................17 4.3.2 Settlements......................................................................................................................17 4.3.3 Comparison to Traditional Houses.................................................................................17 4.3.4 Main Building.................................................................................................................18 4.3.5 Additional Buildings .......................................................................................................22 4.3.6 Economical Aspects........................................................................................................23 5 Houses for the Future ........................................................... 24 5.1 THE IMPACT OF TRADITIONS ................................................................................................24 5.2 ALTERNATIVE BUILDING SOLUTIONS...................................................................................24 5.2.1 Plan Arrangements .........................................................................................................25 5.2.2 Local Materials...............................................................................................................25

In my business, for example, statistics help me know where I can get raw materials, get to know the number of my customers and help me prepare products accordingly. Indeed, the numbers show the trend of my business which allows me to predict the future. My customers are both locals and foreigners who yearly visit the region. In June every year, I gather information from various institutions which receive foreign visitors here in Dodoma. With estimated number of visitors in hand, it gives me ample time to prepare products for my clients’ satisfaction.

This was the fifth Census after the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Other censuses were carried out in 1967, 1978, 1988 and 2002. The 2012 PHC, like previous censuses, will contribute to the improvement of quality of life of Tanzanians through the provision of current and reliable data for policy formulation, development planning and service delivery as well as for monitoring and evaluating national and international development frameworks. The 2012 PHC is unique as the collected information will be used in monitoring and evaluating the Development Vision 2025 for Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar Development Vision 2020, Five Year Development Plan 2011/12–2015/16, National Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (NSGRP) commonly known as MKUKUTA and Zanzibar Strategy for Growth and Reduction of Poverty (ZSGRP) commonly known as MKUZA. The Census will also provide information for the evaluation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. The Poverty Monitoring Master Plan, which is the monitoring tool for NSGRP and ZSGRP, mapped out core indicators for poverty monitoring against the sequence of surveys, with the 2012 PHC being one of them. Several of these core indicators for poverty monitoring are measured directly from the 2012 PHC.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Climate change has a large effect on agriculture sector and, consequently, on the food available for residents of Hai District and other regions of Tanzania. Based on four decades of climate data, this study assessed the impacts of climate change and its potential vulnerability on food availability in Hai District, Kilimanjaro region. The results from this study suggest an association between food crop production and variation in climate (temperature and rainfall) in Hai District. Considering the aspect of rainfall and temperature, we demonstrate that rainfall and temperature have signi- ficant relationship with maize and bean outputs. The rainfall had a strong positive association with maize and beans production and whereas temperature had inverse relationship with maize and beans yields. With the annual loss $0.04 million and $0.01 million per year from cattle and goats/sheep respectively and the additional annual loss of $29 million and $10.8 million from ma- ize and bean crops respectively in Hai District during years of severe and prolonged droughts, our study highlighted how severe droughts can dramatically affect agriculture production and food security in the area.

DSM, Tz. 1 - 79 pp. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Pare Mountains lie at the northern-most end of the Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania, just 30 kilometres east of Mount Kilimanjaro. Relative to other Eastern Arc Mountains, the North Pare Mountains are considered to be a low conservation priority due to the paucity of endemic species (Burgess et al. 2007; Burgess et al. 1998). The North Pare Mountains have also been subject to far less biodiversity research than some other Eastern Arc Mountain blocks such as the Udzungwas and East Usambaras. The correlation between research effort and documented biodiversity values has been demonstrated in other parts of the Eastern Arc such as the Rubehos (Doggart et al. 2006) and Ngurus (Doggart and Loserian 2007).

This paper examines two farming systems: the traditional farming of the Chagga people on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and the modern paddy farming introduced by Japanese foreign aid. The Chagga practice intensive land use by intercropping coffee and banana. They also combine farming. forestry and livestock in a sophisticated homestead farm, the "kihamba," which I call an "agrosilvipastoral complex" system. Japanese style modern paddy farming started from 1985 in the semi-arid lower zone. Its economic performance varies greatly among farmers. It is thus important to grasp the significance of, and limits to, both traditional and modern farming in this area. Key Words: farming systems research; the Chagga; Agrosilvipastoral complex; Paddy farming; Kilimanjaro Project in Tanzania. INTRODUCTION There are several farming systems in the Kilimanjaro Region. In this paper I will focus on the traditional"agrosilvipastoral complex" practiced by the Chagga peo­ ple on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, to assess the potential and limitation for the modern paddy irrigation farming in Lower tvloshi.
