CHAPTER ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background
Urban planning is one of the most important tools of urban management. It guides the socio-
economic and spatial/physical development of a given urban center. Hence, urban development
effort without the guidance of urban planning is like walking blindfolded.
Ethiopia is not only least urbanized but also most urban centers in the country are predominantly
unplanned. A naked eye observation on current urban morphologies suffices to retrace the
minimal role of planning in the Ethiopian urbanization process. This predominance of unplanned
development in Ethiopian urbanization poses a substantial need for re-planning in all urban
centers of the country. The re-planning involves an extensive land-use readjustment,
fundamental reorganization of infrastructure networks as well as revitalizing run down urban
fabrics. In this respect, NDPs play key roles, since wholesale interventions are both unfeasible
and unadvisable in built up urban areas.
NDP is a lower level urban plan, which is prepared within the framework of a structure and
strategic plan. It is detailed and focuses on specific locality of an urban center for immediate
implementation. It is, therefore, an important tool for implementation of structure plan proposals.
Also NDP is a planning instrument that facilitates implementation of the structural and strategic
plan by focusing on selected areas.
NDP-2 (Pate1 & 2) site of Soddober kebele Pate ketena in Boditi town one of the strategic social
and economic investment areas identified and prioritized under the strategic plan of the town.
For social, economic, and cultural development of the town; any action or decision towards
urban development should be guided by rationally stated and clearly stipulated plans to make
2
that development sustainable. The need for the preparation of neighborhood development plan
(NDP) of NDP emanated from these perspectives.

1.3. Statement of the Problem
Currently the federal government of Ethiopia intended to bring overall development in national
as well as local urban government. Due to these, cities are the main target to achieve the national
development. That means the urban economy is undoubtedly an important factor influencing the
overall economic development. Therefore, urban land is one of the most important elements to
be considered in the concept of urban development. The shortage, inaccessibility and poor
management of urban land, inadequate infrastructure provision, prevalence of informal
settlement, lack of open spaces, greeneries and playground and in appropriate allocation and
misuse with incompatible activities can therefore have very negative impact on the development
of the action area. Moreover, social and economic improvements are seriously affected and also
have influence on environmental quality. Unless these problems are solved, the role of the NDP
site in the economic development of itself as well as in the City as a whole will be in danger.
Therefore, the NDP team believes that, these problems will be addressed through implementation
of this planning intervention by participating all stakeholders in order to realize the significant
role of the site in the overall economic development of the City and for wellbeing of the society.
1.4. Vision
To see the NDP area of Boditi town is accessible, livable, and active mixed use center in 2021
EC.
1.5. Goal
To achieve attractive residential and commercially active area by creating permeable and mixed
use neighborhood. Appling planning principles.

To promote efficient land provision and land management system
1.7. Methodology
The approach of the working team to prepare the final document was passed through
reconnaissance /observation, house to house survey of the whole households and field surveying
data collection methods. During the preparation of the NDP of the Town, has adopted a
participatory approach in all its processes, from assessment to proposals. The concerned
stakeholders have been involved and their opinions accordingly considered.
5
questionnaire prepared for households was designed to capture information regarding
demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the study area, key informant interview to
acquire information about the historical background/naming of the site and reconnaissance/direct
observations was used to collect data about physical features of the area. The inputs of the
discussions forum and consultative meetings were also included in the socio economic analysis.
Scope of the project: Spatial scope of the project refers to 59 hectares of land that falls within
the NDP action area, as well as the surrounding planning areas that have strong influence on
development of the action area. Sectorally, the plan covers social, economic,
physical/environmental development aspects of the area as well as the institutional, financial and
legal frameworks which implementation of the forthcoming NDP calls for.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA
2.1. Location of the study area
Wolayita Zone is one of the Zones found in Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Regional
State and which holds 16 weredas & 6 town administrations. Astronomically Wolayita zone lies
between 6.51oN----7.35oN North latitude and 37.23o E---38.44o East longitudes. The relative
geographical location Wolayita Zone is located in one of the most central part from the southern
region and is divided into 16 woredas and is located about 330 km south west from Addis Ababa
via Hossana and 295 km via Butajira Halaba. From regional capital Hawassa the City is locted
south west at a distance of 186 km.
In the west Dawuro Zone and also bordered by Bilate River and Lake Abaya in the east and
southeast respectively.
From the southern region, wolayita Zone is one of the most central and accessible by roads, thus
it is a transport center and in turn it has benefitted the zone as well as the town as economic
center of the region. It has good connectivity by roads with:Hadiya (Hossana-Addis Abeba),
Gamogofa (Arbaminch), Halaba, Shashemene, Hawassa to Addis Abeba, Goffa-Sawella,
Kambata Tembaroa and Dawero,Waka-Jima.

2.2 Topography Bodity Town
Bodity town has different relief features mainly mountains, undulating plain, gorges etc. these is
due to the result of geological process (tectonic activities) that occurred during tertiary periods.
The very purpose of the physiographic study of the region during urban planning is to analyze
the impacts of topography on different economic activities & infrastructure development which
play essential role in linking the region with the planning urban center. The lower ground in
Bodity town is found in the gorge around north eastern parts which is 1840 meters above mean
sea level. The altitude of Bodity town is between 2900 &1840 meters above sea level.
2.3Climate
2.3.1 Agro-ecology
Agro-ecology is categorized in to tow. These are mid high land climate (moist woynaDega) and
Temperate (Dega).
2.3.2 Temperature of Bodity Town
Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness of an air/object. Temperature influences every
human activity negatively or positively. According to the information obtained from the Town
Agricultural Development Office, average annual temperature range from 150c---240c.
2.3.3 Rainfall of Bodity Town
Rainfall is one of the elements of climate that influence human activities. The formation and
distribution rainfall at a place largely depends on the nature of topography, prevailing wind
direction; the amount of temperature occurs in the area, etc. The study region varies in all these
aspects so that it characterizes differently in the amount and formation of rain, thus, the study
town receives different amounts of rainfall during different seasons. The main rainy season of
the influence area is summer (June, July & August) & the second important rainy season is
spring (March, April & May).Summer is major rain season and having between 800-1600 mm
per year which is sufficient rainfall for different activities.
2.4Rivers and Drainage
Surface water resource is among the basic necessities for both rural and urban society since it is
the main source for potable water supply and irrigation etc. The study area is drained by two
major drainage basins namely, Omo river drainage and, Rift valley drainage basins.
12
The main rivers of the study area include Walacha, Chorake etc. There are also several
intermittent rivers in the study area that dry-up during dry months.
Rivers Chorake, Walachaand Bilate discharge in to Lake Abaya. Most of the rivers originate
from mount Damota and flow in different directions. Due to rugged topography most of streams
and rivers of the influence area have less importance for irrigation.
2.5 Vegetation
There are different vegetation types in regional study which have different economic and
environmental values. They grow in different altitudinal ranges. The dominant high land forests
are covered by Wanza, Zigba, Koso, Dokema and Bisana trees. The density of trees are
diminishing from year to year due to factors like increasing demand of agricultural lands,
grazing, forest fire, increasing of the urban population, cutting of trees for different purposes and
absence of alternative energy sources. The decreasing of these forests caused observed
environmental changes like increasing in temperature, drying away of springs; rain fall
distribution /reliability/ is not preserved, decreasing in the volume of rivers and soil erosion. In
order to preserve the environment hazards, various activities are undertaken by different
stakeholders. Accordingly, water shade development programs, giving awareness creation
orientation to the community, preventing illegal deforestation and marketing and reforestation
programs are carried on.
The Soil description for the study area is adapted from soil map of the southern region and from
concerned zonal and woreda Agricultural office.
The types of soil distribution of the study area are:-
i. Nitosols / Red Basaltic soil/ -
The Soil has: -
Stable structure and mature soil formation
High moisture storage capacity.
13
Potentially good for agricultural activities and are soft, loose and easy to work.
The soil is best for coffee, inset and cereals growing.
ii. Vertisols / Black Basaltic Soil/ - The soil has following characteristics:-
Clay content
Sticky and has poor drainage and water logging nature.
Difficult for farming but used for grazing. If the water drained from the soil, since it
has high nutrient value the agricultural potential is high.
This Neighborhood Development Plan is studied for NDP2 (Pate1 & 2) of Boditi town a part
included in the town strategic plan. The area is located in western direction along two sides of
the Boditi soddo road about 2 km away from the center of the town. NDP2 area includes Fate,
and Chocha sefers. It covers the total area of 158.5 hectares including the planning boundary.
The town NDP2 area has almost irregular shape with elongated feature following the Wolayta
Soddo-Boditi road.
This area is also bounded in northeast by Gomeju Oil, in southwest by end of diversion road, in
east high-tension from Shashimane to Wolayta Soddo and in west by diversion road. Its area
covers about 158.5ha. The total population of Boditi town NDP2 incorporated with in the
planning area accounts for 3,114 people, of which 1708(54.9%) are males and 1406(45.1%) are
females. The driving force for the preparation of Neighborhood Development Plan for this site is
the need of a planning for the provision of infrastructures like water, telephone and drainage, to
formalize informal settlers and to improve land and property tax collected from the site. Not only
this but also, improving the living conditions of the residents near and around the study area are
also the other major considerations.

primary school), 1 health post and 4 religious institution found on the site which are 1 Orthodox,
1 Full Gospel, 1 Catholic and 1 Hiwotkal churchs located on the site. Hence, this NDP was
prepared by considering both spatial and non-spatial linkage of both the action and planning
area.

The Demographic analysis above reveals how the dependent and independent structure of the
project town NDP2 area is categorized in terms of age. It also shows the dependent and
independent ratio or it states productive and non-productive people in the NDP2 area. This
means, it agrees with the general discussion that the old age population of the town NDP2 area is
lesser than the population at later ages. Young age is an age group that are found between 0-
16
14years (young dependent) is calculated to be 585(18.8 %) of the total population. The
productive age group (15-64) is calculated to be 2444 (78.5%) of the total population and the old
aged population is 65 + or old aged dependents is calculated to be 85(2.7%) of the total
population. So dependent ratio is calculated to be 27.5 such kinds of dependent and independent
ratio is categories are supported by productive age groups.

4.1. Planning principle
Boditi town connecting one asphalt roads and three gravel roads and hence facilitates the
linkages of federal and regional urban areas to zonal and woreda Citys and also there are
significant through pass roads being exist. This linkage inevitably tends the town to be
commercial center. Because of this the selected site more convenient if it is proposed to
residencies dominated area of the town.
Therefore, the planning principles mainly focused in this regards: permeability, legibility,
robustness, safety and security, sustainable city and diversity.
Having these principles as the leading elements the plan proposal is prepared in such a way that
the site will accommodate good building images to enhance the profile of the town as a future
business center, entertainment and tourism destination.

Implementation Strategy
5.1. General Direction
Implementation of this NDP proposal should be followed by the approval of SNNPR urban
development bureau. The approved development proposal is expected to be implemented directly
with little modification if needed with regarded to detail design of projects at parcel level. And
again in road network design curves and ditch alignments may be modified without compromise
in dimension of the roads. In implementation of NDP proposal, conversional the first step is
preparatory works such as: identification of various actors and their roles, detail action plan
preparation and awareness creation, promotion, co-ordination and fund raising. Secondly,
implementing the physical infrastructure as per the development proposal follows. Monitoring
and evaluation should be done periodically as per needed.
41
Inspect and stop any development activities if they are against the neighborhood
developmental plan.
Dispossess urban land holdings against paining compensation.
Coordinate to the extent necessary for the implementation of the plan, the activities of
government offices, development enterprises service rendering institutions, private under
takings and other stakeholders operating within the area (Federal NegaritGazeta No 29.
