5.1 Conclusion

This conclusion can be made on the impact of unplanned settlements in Kinondoni district
specifically in Hanna Nassif ward. The major factor associated with high level of unplanned
settlement in Hanna Nassif ward is lack of education to the citizens about the impact of
unplanned settlement as well as presence of un-surveyed plots and high cost of surveying
plots which cost Tsh 370,000/=, according to WEO (Ward Executive Officer) from Hanna
Nassif ward. So these are the main drives even if there are other causes like delaying the
urban planning program, low income, corruption as well as poverty.

The existence of these drivers especially in Hanna Nassif ward accelerate a lot of efforts
economically, socially as well as politically including; the problem of transportation, theft and
robbery, the problem of sewage system, the inaccessibility of social services, flood absence of
safety and security, land conflict, eruption of disease, absence of business centers and lack of
open space for community meeting.

Despite this these effects or impacts or the whole problem of unplanned settlements have
been put in place by the local authority and the community in attempt to solve this problem
but full success has not been realized. So, in order to mitigate this problem needs the full
cooperation between the government and the community together.
