Assessing Urban Land Utilization Using Geographical Information SystemBy Vanum Govindu, Haftay Hailu G/Yohannes, Yechale Kebede Bizuneh
Abstract: In all urban centers of the Tigray region, Ethiopia in general, there is inefficient urban land utilization. Inefficient buildable urban land development and management is manifested in the form of vacant, partially utilized and underutilized lands. Most of these lands are exposed to urban sprawl, squatting and land speculation. Moreover, there is inadequate infrastructure provision, under regulation, and shortage of buildable lands; speculation and tenure insecurity are the problems of …

Evaluating Building Density Analysis Using Geographical Information SystemBy Vanum Govindu, Haftay Hailu G/Yohannes, Yechale Kebede Bizuneh
Abstract: In Mekelle city, urban sprawl is continuously expanding to the surrounding hinterland at an alarming rate without considering the inner infill area of the city. Moreover, several numbers of developers and land speculator hold large tract of vacant land. This has resulted because land speculators buy large aggregation lands and develop small part of their plot and keep the land until the price rises up. And this creates low density …

The Impact of Linear Infrastructure on Land Utilization using GISBy Haftay Hailu G/Yohannes, Vanum Govindu, Amare Gebremedhin Nigusse
Abstract: In all urban centers of the Tigray region and the nation as whole, there is inefficient urban land utilization and development. The bottlenecks in the supply of serviced land are caused by inadequate provision of infrastructure and services. Moreover, the government often provides arterial infrastructure, leaving the provision of secondary and tertiary infrastructure to individuals or private sector developers. As a result private sectors or individuals assembled raw land only. …
