Community Perception on Land Dispossession and Compensation Practices: Evidence from Gondar City, Northwest Ethiopia
Abstract: Land expropriation for urban expansion in the Gondar area significantly reduced farming households from 95%–74%, displacing 29% of affected farmers. While some acknowledged the public benefits, most respondents criticized the process for a lack of transparency, limited community involvement, and inadequate rehabilitation support. Farmers reported receiving compensation that was low, unfairly calculated, and subject to prolonged delays. Key systemic issues included a lack of awareness among affected communities, inconsistent knowledge …
