However, the allocation process left out some residents who have resorted to designated social spaces, paths and the riparian reserves. The settlement occupies 30 acres of govern- ment land registered as Plot No. LR 16667 and extends into the riparian reserve of Nairobi Riv- er. The population is estimated at about 6000. There are 702 households with an average occu- pancy of 8 persons per household, with children making 75% of the population. There are a total of 702 residential structures, with about 3600 rooms measuring 10 square feet in size and mostly constructed using iron sheets.

  • Exploring the Spatial Distribution of PLWA in Nairobi City
    Exploring the Spatial Distribution of PLWA in Nairobi City Moses Murimi NGIGI ナイロビにおける PLWA の空間的分布 ギギ、モセス・ムリミ Abstract 発展途上国においては，都市の急激な成長によりインフラ整備や人口増加率，貧困層の分布， 環境の悪化など，様々な社会的格差が発生しており，HIV/AIDS の流行が空間的に極めて不均 一となることが懸念されている．本研究は，エイズと共存する人々（PLWA）に対する調査により， ナイロビにおけるエイズの流行の空間的な特性を示すものである．PLWA の分布とナイロビ住民 の人口密度や社会・経済的属性との関係を，GIS を用いて分析した．その結果，ナイロビの複雑 な都市構造が明示された．また，人口密度の高い地域では，PLWA が多くなる傾向にあることが 明らかとなった．ただし，GIS を援用した分析だけではエイズの空間的分布の特性とナイロビ住民 の社会・経済的属性との関係を明確にできず，さらなる調査方法の検討が必要である． Keywords: HIV/AIDS (エイズ), PLWA (HIV/AIDS 感染者), spatial distribution characteristics （空間的分布の特性), Nairobi city (ナイロビ） 1. Introduction whose objective was to identify the spatial characteristic of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the city of Nairobi. Using Emphasis on regional and national differentials in the visualization strength of geographic information prevalence of HIV often conceals substantial systems (GIS), the residential distribution pattern of the within-country variation in the burden of the AIDS PLWA is analysed against the density and epidemic (Zulu, E.M et al. 2004). Surveillance data socio-economic profile of the city’s population. from variety of sources has shown that urban areas have higher HIV prevalence rates than rural areas. HIV sentinel surveillance in Kenya has also shown the prevalence to be higher in the urban areas as compared to the rural (see Figure 1). In 2004, HIV surveillance results for Nairobi city, also an administrative province, were second after Nyanza, among the eight administrative provinces of Kenya. It was also estimated that about 40% of the urban adult population infected with HIV/AIDS in Kenya resided in Nairobi. Nairobi, similar in characteristic to other African cities; high population growth rate, high unemployment levels, urban poverty, high population densities, and heterogeneous population from different cultural backgrounds present a scenario where the HIV/AIDS pandemic can vary in many ways.

    145 “Cities can achieve more sustainable land use if municipalities combine urban planning and development with environmental management” -Ann Tibaijuki Executive Director UN-HABITAT Director General UNON 2007 (Tibaijuki 2007) Chapter 5: Nairobi and its Environment airobi’s name comes from the Maasai phrase “enkare nairobi” which means “a place of cool waters”. It originated as the headquarters of the Kenya Uganda Railway, established when the Nrailhead reached Nairobi in June 1899. The city grew into British East Africa’s commercial and business hub and by 1907 became the capital of Kenya (Mitullah 2003, Rakodi 1997). Nairobi, A Burgeoning City Nairobi occupies an area of about 700 km2 at the south-eastern end of Kenya’s agricultural heartland. At 1 600 to 1 850 m above sea level, it enjoys tolerable temperatures year round (CBS 2001, Mitullah 2003). The western part of the city is the highest, with a rugged topography, while the eastern side is lower and generally fl at. The Nairobi, Ngong, and Mathare rivers traverse numerous neighbourhoods and the indigenous Karura forest still spreads over parts of northern Nairobi. The Ngong hills are close by in the west, Mount Kenya rises further away in the north, and Mount Kilimanjaro emerges from the plains in Tanzania to the south-east. Minor earthquakes and tremors occasionally shake the city since Nairobi sits next to the Rift Valley, which is still being created as tectonic plates move apart. ¯ ,JBNCV 5IJLB /BJSPCJ3JWFS .BUIBSF3JWFS /BJSPCJ3JWFS /BJSPCJ /HPOH3JWFS .PUPJOF3JWFS %BN /BJSPCJ%JTUSJDUT /BJSPCJ8FTU Kenyatta International /BJSPCJ/BUJPOBM /BJSPCJ/PSUI 1BSL Conference Centre /BJSPCJ&BTU The Kenyatta International /BJSPCJ%JWJTJPOT Conference Centre, located in the ,BTBSBOJ 1VNXBOJ ,BKJBEP .BDIBLPT &NCBLBTJ .BLBEBSB heart of Nairobi's Central Business 8FTUMBOET %BHPSFUUJ 0510 District, has a 33-story tower and KNBS 2008 $FOUSBM/BJSPCJ ,JCFSB Kilometres a large amphitheater built in the Figure 1: Nairobi’s three districts and eight divisions shape of a traditional African hut.

  • TERRORISM THREAT in the COUNTRY A) Security Survey
    TERRORISM THREAT IN THE COUNTRY a) Security Survey In 2011, the threat of terrorism in the country rose up drastically largely from the threat we recorded and the attacks we began experiencing. Consequently, the service initiated a security survey on key installations and shopping malls. The objective was to assess their vulnerability to terrorist attacks and make recommendations on areas to improve on. The survey was conducted and the report submitted to the Police, Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Tourism. Relevant institutions and malls were also handed over the report. Subsequent security surveys have continued to be conducted. As with regard to the Westgate Mall which was also surveyed, the following observations and recommendations were made as per the attached matrix. Situation Report for 21.09.12 - Serial No.184/2012 Two suspected Al Shabaab terrorists of Somali origin entered South Sudan through Djibouti, Eritrea and Sudan and are suspected to be currently in Uganda waiting to cross into Kenya through either Busia or Malaba border points. They are being assisted by Teskalem Teklemaryan, an Eritrean Engineer with residences in Uganda and South Sudan. The duo have purchased 1 GPMG; 4 hand grenades; 1 bullet belt; 5 AK 47 Assault Rifles; unknown number of bullet proof jackets from Joseph Lomoro, an SPLA Officer, and some maps of Nairobi city, indicating that their destination is Nairobi. Maalim Khalid, aka Maalim Kenya, a Kenyan explosives and martial arts expert, has been identified as the architect of current terrorist attacks in the country. He is associated with attacks at Machakos Country Bus, Assanands House in Nairobi and Bellavista Club in Mombasa.

  • Farming in the City of Nairobi
    African Studies Centre Leiden The Netherlands FARMING IN THE CITY OF NAIROBI Dick Foeken and Alice Mboganie Mwangi ASC Working Paper 30 / 1998 2 Contents Introduction 5 Land use policies: historical overview 6 The magnitude of urban farming in Nairobi since the 1980s 8 Who are the urban farmers in Nairobi? 11 Farming practices 15 The importance of urban farming for the people involved 19 Constraints faced by the urban farmers 22 Prospects for urban farming in Nairobi 27 Conclusion 32 References 35 Appendices 37 3 4 Farming in the City of Nairobi Dick Foeken and Alice Mboganie Mwangi* INTRODUCTION As any visitor to Kenya's capital can see, farming activities are everywhere, not only in the outskirts but also in the heart of the city. Along roadsides, in the middle of roundabouts, along railway lines, in parks, along rivers, under powerlines, in short in all kinds of open, public spaces, crops are cultivated and animals like cattle, goats and sheep are roaming around. What most visitors do not see is that there is even more farming, notably in the backyards of the houses in the residential areas. People of all socio-economic classes grow food whenever and wherever possible. Farming in Nairobi — as well as in cities all over the world — is not a new or recent pheno- menon. Urban agriculture is as old as the towns and cities themselves. However, particularly in the less-developed countries, urban farming has grown enormously since the 1980s, especially among the urban poor. This has most of all to do with growing unemployment rates in combination with increased food prices.
