ABSTRACT Kenya is one of the coastal states that lie in the eastern part of Africa. For a long time now Kenyan valuation practice has been concentrated on land-based resources.

And because the full economic potential of the resources of the Kenyan coast is not known with certainty it is logical to carry out studies of their estimation. Unlike land-based resources, waterfront properties along the coastline possess somewhat peculiar characteristics which imply that a free market or a purely price competitive mechanism will not allocate these resources properly. It is even worse for the methods of valuation which can be employed in such cases.

This study contends that extremities m values have arisen from th* use of Improper methods for valuing waterfront properties. And the method being used currently in tho valuation disregards a number of important factors, most ..>! which are difficult to quantify using the market comparison method. This study aims, therefore, :c pte^u.i* iifitte’ ways of valuing waterfront lands.

Evidence from the valuation practices in the study area suggests t lint only sito-oriented characteristics of property are considered during valuations and this loads to either under valuation ox overvaluation of these properties. Although some factors ar9 not directly on the property being valued, they are actually significant influences of value, and l i i : M J * U *i'i altogo her is not reasonable*. vi ' n*tho<! proposed m i this study con u *. s >oth •i*:? non sit*1 o»-en*:**d ! nctorn 1 > 'A • ■ ■ j' i1:n ■ 1 muitii •: • ’ irca ^ion AriaiysJir (CMRA) at • !• •. • t .vfn hr»•« r !•.•»*• t - t ~noiro of value- inf lucncing • * v>’a i »'••?! » cciontiric, mote reasonable and lets • ;*>.-* • •• than in r he * m n a r y Comparison Method, i f influencing virt’bits for valuation purposes iv 9 "oroRoary stop if props* values have to be estimated.

Conventional Multiple Regression Analysis (CMRA) and Rank Transformation Regression (RTR) were found to be tho best of the lot, accounting for 49t and 511 of the variation in property values in the area respectively. However, RTR seems to have the methodological problem of how to rank factors affecting value beforo using them in the procedure. While it is appealing and quite rational to rank factors, the criteria to be use! to; the ranking is contentious. CMRA was therefore, found to bo a 'better* method, it vii produced better ronults in tho various tests the models underwent and can easily be understood and applied. Using the same methods, it was found that SIZE of property is the most important factor affecting value in the study area. The larger the size, the higher the value, although other factors such as width of the beach area (AREA), VIEW of the ocean waters, availability of water SPORTS on the beach etc, have also to be considered. Furthermore, no single factor alone can be used as the only basis for estimating values of waterfront lands. Despite the study advocating for tho uso of CMRA m waterfront valuations, there are very few instances where th»» valuer will not use some form of comparison in the valuation process. Whether it is in tho choice of independent variables or in the measurement of these variables, the punciples of comparison have to be utilised to arrive at objective values. Aftet il . valuation is all about the market, and if the value? disregards the market trends then his valuation will be somewhat incomplete.

  • Coastal Livelihoods in the Republic of Kenya General
    COASTAL LIVELIHOODS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA GENERAL INTRODUCTION The Agulhas and Somali Current Large Marine Ecosystems (ASCLME) project is focused on the two large marine ecosystems of the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region, covering nine countries that are directly influenced by these current systems. It is estimated that at least fifty-six million people are reliant either directly or indirectly on the goods and services provided by these two current systems. The ASCLME project aims to support these countries in their efforts to collectively manage the marine resources on which their people and economies depend. Fisheries and other key coastal activities, including various forms of tourism, aquaculture, shipping and coastal transport, the energy sector, agriculture and forestry, are very important contributors to the economies of the countries of the WIO. In recognition of the complexity and importance of these activities, a Coastal Livelihoods Assessment (CLA) component was developed for the ASCLME project. The CLA component had three main objectives: • to collect as much existing information as possible about the main coastal activities in the nine participating countries as a contribution to the national Marine Ecosystem Diagnostic Analyses (MEDAs); • to make input into ensuring that this information is stored and organised in a manner that will allow easy access and maximum utility to multiple stakeholders, both during and after the lifetime of the ASCLME Project; • to review and sythesise the information collected in order to provide useful inputs to the TDA and SAP processes. In order to achieve these objectives, the CLA component was separated into three distinct phases, with the first phase kicking off in May 2009.

  • February 2021
    Project Update: February 2021 Introduction This report is an accomplishment of the project’s Work Package 100, which was conducted between December 2020 and February 2021. It involved mobilisation of local communities, i.e., the Turtle Conservation Groups (TCGs), learning institutions and other relevant management stakeholders including the private sectors. First and foremost, we want to acknowledge changes that have occurred in the project management during the implementation process, with the two co-PIs being replaced upon their request due to transfer to different town with the project not capable to cover their travel costs to conduct the project activities. Hassan relocated to Lamu and his role has been taken over by Neville Agesa from Diani Turtle Watch while Josephine transferred to Nairobi and has been replaced by Mr. Said Shee Mohamed, a Sergeant from Kenya Wildlife Service (Kisite Mpunguti Marine National Reserve and Park) based in the South Coast of Kenya. The mobilisation process took about 21/2 months (end of December 2020 – February 2021) and involved visitation and consultation with different stakeholder groups and official invitation to the project through physical visits to the TCG offices and sites and meeting with the officials, emails and phone calls. Some of the groups visited include Kisite Marine Park - Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Conservation Education Society, Diani Turtle Watch, Msambweni TCG and Shimoni TCG. Due to the new COVID-19 rules, the Ministry of Education banned all visits to schools and therefore the project team resolved to working with Conservation Education Society, which have an open centre, to conduct outdoor activities and mentor selected students (ambassadors) in different schools around at the centre.

NAIROBI, 1992. f ^ GEDhEOMORPHDLDGY AND SEDIMENTOLDGY OF THE MOMBASA-DIANI AREA: IMPLICATIONS TO COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT 1 / BY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Science in the University of Nairobi. r This thesis is my original work and has not been presented -for a degree in any other University. P. A. W. ABUODHA This thesis has been submitted -for exami nat i orK, wi th my knowledge as University Supervisor. DR. E. 0. ODADA 1 ABSTRACT The overall objective of this thesis was to identify coastal zone management problems within Mombasa— Diani area. The study of sedimentological processes and geomorphic features have been used to solve these problems. Other objectives included evaluating the effectiveness of the existing control measures and identifying response strategies for the affected areas. The methods used were divided into field and laboratory methods. Sediments were investigated using grain size distribution analysis, carbonate content determination and microscopic study. Beach profiling, beach gradients and beach y width measurements together with wave and current measurements and aerial photo interpretation facilitated the interpretation of geomorphic results. The results of sedimentological wort showed erosional beaches to occur at Kikambala, Kanamai, Mtwapa, Shanzu, Bamburi, Kenyatta and Black Cliff Point. Nyali , Tiwi, Galu and Kinondo were found to be stable beaches while Likoni, Diani and Gazi were considered depositional beaches given no induced erosion. Geomorphological 1y, coastal dunes and beach f ridges, cliffed coasts and backshore areas could be developed but with proper set back lines so as not to induce erosion.

Verhagen Jochem Ballot│ Claartje Hoyng │ Inge Kateman │Michiel Smits│Renske de Winter General notice to the reader: In the academic programme for Hydraulic Engineering we have in the 4th year (i.e. in the first year of the Master Programme) the requirement that students should do in a group of four to six persons a so-called "groupwork". It is also called "Master Project". During this groupwork they should make a full design of something. The work should be integral, starting with terms of reference, and ending with the real design. This can be a structure, but also it can be a harbour lay-out, a policy plan design, etc. The total time available for the project is in the order of two months and will provide 10 European Credits. It has to be practical and applied. It is certainly not an M.Sc. thesis assignment (the thesis work is individual, 6 months and more focussed on research or advanced design work on details). But it is also not an appren- ticeship, internship or traineeship where the student has to work together with a group of experienced people. For this groupwork they have to solve the problem on their own (of course with guidance). This report is the result of such a Master Project. This report has been assessed by staff of TU Delft. It has been provided with a passing mark (i.e.
