Ottens Utrecht University Faculty of Geosciences Urban and Regional Research Centre Utrecht Co-promotor Prof. Dr. V. Kreibich University of Dortmund Faculty of Spatial Planning Acknowledgements Inevitably numerous persons and organizations have contributed to this research since it began in 1998. Each contribution has in some way enriched the process and facilitated my ability to bring the research to a successful conclusion. I gratefully acknowledge the support of all those who have assisted me in this endeavour but I will also make specific mention of those persons whose contributions have been especially significant to my work. I am particularly grateful for the guidance and encouragement provided by my supervisors, Prof. Dr. Henk Ottens and Prof. Dr. Volker Kreibich. Their expertise in the fields of GIS, urban geography, urban planning, and Prof. Kreibich’s specific knowledge and expertise on urban issues in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Tanzania in particular, has enriched my work from the outset and enabled me to develop and apply GIT methods that are geared to the realities of urban management in many Sub-Saharan African cities. They have stimulated my thinking and academic development in innumerable ways, establishing the foundation for future research work on GIT applications in this region. My link with Dar es Salaam was established in 1987, when I conducted a course at what is now known as the University College of Lands and Architectural Studies (UCLAS). This was the first of many trips that enabled me to learn about the urbanization process in Dar es Salaam and the challenges of managing fast growing cities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Since then I have been fortunate to develop personal and professional ties with many Tanzanian professionals, some of whom have been instrumental in this research. I owe much to my Tanzanian friends and colleagues from UCLAS. Special mention must be made of Dr. A.G. Kyessi, Dr. S. Sheuya, Dr. E. G. Mtalo, Prof. W.J. Kombe, Dr. T.J. Nnkya, Dr. A. Lupalla, and my assistants in Keko Mwanga, Anthony Kibadu and Merina Gamuya. Their contributions and encouragement have been invaluable. Mr. Z.Y. Masele, Mr. J. Mayunga and other staff of the Survey and Mapping Division facilitated the supply of spatial data, aerial photographs and permission to conduct the flights that led to the production of the Small Format Aerial Photo (SFAP) mosaics. Much credit is due to the staff of the municipalities and the residents of the case study settlements: Hanna Nassif, Keko Mwanga and Tabata. Were it not for their willingness to attend meetings and facilitate in data collection much of my work would have been impossible. Their willingness to share their knowledge and experience with various groups of researchers was outstanding and a practical demonstration of the benefits of participatory planning processes. The fianancial support of the ITC and the numerous contributions from my colleagues are all highly appreciated. In the period 1998-1999 it was a particular pleasure to work with Dr. Ben Gorte (now at the Technical University of Delft), i Ir. Mark Brussel (ITC) and Rob Dekker (TNO-FEL) and Dr. E.G. Mtalo (UCLAS) with additional funding provided by BCRS for research on Urbanization in Dar es Salaam. The data derived from this project was an indispensable component of this research. Tom Loran support as leader of the EISCAP project provided additional resources when required for data collection. Further, technical support was received from Gerard Reinink, Benno Masselink, Job Duim, Andries Menning and Loes Colenbrander as and when required. My sincere thanks are also extended to Marga Koelen, Carla Gerritsen and Petry Maas-Prijs for their friendly and efficient services at the library. A special mention is made of the cooperation with Drs. Sherif Amer. In addition to sharing spatial data and supporting each other in the writing process I value highly the time spent in discussing our individual but inter-related research projects. From the evening talks on the balcony of the Motel Afrique in Dar es Salaam through to the most recent exchanges on population modelling a strong personal and professional bond has been formed. Many others at ITC have contributed to different aspects of data collection and analysis over the research period. Numerous assistants and ITC students have added to my work in some way including: Hedwig Thorborg, Monika Kuffer, Marian Visser, Timothy Hakuyu, Steve Ramroop, Siti Atikah and Joseph Binala. Special mention is accorded to students of the Professional Master course in Urban Planning and Land Administration (UPLA) who I had the pleasure to supervise during fieldwork in Keko Mwanga in 2001: Simon Yanuar Putra, Kerry Chambers, Liu Guangzhen, Wenli Feng, Jimmy Ringo, Michael Mwalukasa, Experancia Tibasana, Casty Njoroge, Kirk Freckleton, Itai Dhliwayo, Sukanya Prommanart and Farid Ahmed. On three occasions I recieved timely support from unexpected quarters. First, in December 1999 my colleague Ton Mank kindly leant me his Nikon 35 mm camera, replacing my damaged Minolta and enabling me to complete the SFAP missions of Keko Mwanga and Hanna Nassif just one day before I was due to leave Dar es Salaam. Second, in May 2002, Dr. Brent Hall of University of Waterloo, Canada offered to read the text that I had produced by that time. His critical reading and extensive comments came at a crucial time and helped me to refocus and regain the momentum necessary to complete this research. Finally, Alphonce Tiba, kindly translated the summary into Kiswahili. Thanks are also due to the members of the committee: Prof. Dr. O.Verkoren, Prof. Dr. D. Webster, Prof Dr. Ian Masser, Dr. S. Geertman, Dr. P van Lindert and Dr. L. Boerboom for reading what was a rather rough manuscript. Finally, my love and thanks to Anita, Rosanne and Tymen who, more than others, have borne the burden of my preoccupation with this research. If I have one regret it is the lost opportunities for sharing with them that can never be replaced. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgements ................................................................................................i Table of Contents ................................................................................................ iii List of Figures .................................................................................................... vii List of Tables........................................................................................................ix List of Appendices................................................................................................xi List of Acronyms................................................................................................ xii Chapter 1 Introducing the research problem .........................................................1 1.1 The three main research themes ......................................................................1 1.1.1 The changing nature and role of urban planning and management..............2 1.1.2 Access to urban land and informal housing in Sub-Saharan Africa.............3 1.1.3 The adoption of information technology in urban planning and management .................................................................................................5 1.2 Research objectives and questions ..................................................................7 1.3 Scope of the research.......................................................................................7 1.4 Research design and outline of the thesis contents..........................................8 Chapter 2 Urban planning, planning support and informal urban development .13 2.1 The evolution of urban planning in theory and practice................................13 2.1.1 Evolution and diffusion of urban planning approaches..............................13

Analysis of the impact of groundwater contamination by pit latrines in Dar-es—salaam (Manzese squatter area) was carried out (chapter 5). Fluid and pollutant transport (chapter 2), microhial movement and survival in groundwater (chapter 3) as well as nutrient (nitrates) dynamics (chapter 4) were considered. Available data on the phenomenon were supplemented by the MFLOP model to obtain an insight into the nature of the problein.

  • Dar Es Salaam-Ch1.P65

    Dar Es Salaam-Ch1.P65

    Chapter One The Emerging Metropolis: A history of Dar es Salaam, circa 1862-2000 James R. Brennan and Andrew Burton This chapter offers an overview history of Dar es Salaam. It proceeds chronologically from the town’s inception in the 1860s to its present-day status as one of the largest cities in Africa. Within this sequential structure are themes that resurface in later chapters. Dar es Salaam is above all a site of juxtaposition between the local, the national, and the cosmopolitan. Local struggles for authority between Shomvi and Zaramo, as well as Shomvi and Zaramo indigenes against upcountry immigrants, stand alongside racialized struggles between Africans and Indians for urban space, global struggles between Germany and Britain for military control, and national struggles between European colonial officials and African nationalists for political control. Not only do local, national, and cosmopolitan contexts reveal the layers of the town’s social cleavages, they also reveal the means and institutions of social and cultural belonging. Culturally Dar es Salaam represents a modern reformulation of the Swahili city. Indeed it might be argued that, partly due to the lack of dominant founding fathers and an established urban society pre- dating its rapid twentieth century growth, this late arrival on the East African coast is the contemporary exemplar of Swahili virtues of cosmopolitanism and cultural exchange. Older coastal cities of Mombasa and Zanzibar struggle to match Dar es Salaam in its diversity and, paradoxically, its high degree of social integration. Linguistically speaking, it is without doubt a Swahili city; one in which this language of nineteenth-century economic incorporation has flourished as a twentieth-century vehicle of social and cultural incorporation for migrants from the African interior as well as from the shores of the western Indian Ocean.

    Livestock Keepers (Men and Women)

    Responses from the Focus Group Discussions Location: Tabata Segerea Ward Interviewees: Livestock keepers (men and women) Five women and three men aged between 28–59 years were interviewed in Tabata Segerea ward. All of them have been living in Segerea for more than three years and they are owner of the land. Their income comes from poultry and pigs farming together with other business. The mode of farming is mainly intensive and commercial because they are farmed for commercial purposes and the area involved is small enough to practise extensive. All respondents have been involved in farming of short cycled animals for more than two years except one who has farmed for more than six months. The number of poultry kept ranged from 300 – 3000 and for the pigs were 10 – 70 animals. The challenge with large animal farming is that the municipal by-laws insist on keeping not more than 4 animals so they are forced to confine and manage them in strictly intensive mode of production. This farming system is good for protecting pigs from the community member that do not want to hear about pigs and pig products. According to the group, the use of antimicrobial agents in pigs and poultry is high especially in poultry farming. The birds are frequently attacked by diseases such as coryza, typhoid, coccidiosis, respiratory diseases and diarrhoea. The use antimicrobial is to avoid economic loss arising from animal death. In pigs the frequently occurring diseases are worms, respiratory diseases, skin diseases, mastitis, iron deficiency and diarrhoea. The farmers themselves are experienced enough to do diagnosis through clinical signs and symptoms.

Investigating the Intra-urban Inequality and Environmental injustices on Urban deprivation in Dar es salaam city - Tanzania Abstract Spatial indicators of inequality, rather than simply poverty, and environmental injustices are two essential tools for today’s urban policy makers and planners (UNHSP, 2004 pp. 86). Most research on urban deprivation in Sub-Saharan Africa has been based on monetary indicators (income and consumption).
