The population of Babati town increased from 44,000 in 2002 to93,108 inhabitants in 2012. It was projected the population would have reached 105,610 inhabitants by 2022.This study is an attempt to assess the implications of rapid population and spatial growth of Babati Town on Lake Babati and water resources. The study involved random sampling in the four villages of Hangoni, Himiti, BagaraZiwani, and GendiKuu. The data were collected through direct observations, questionnaires, and interviews with individual households around the Lake. TheGIS technology was applied in analysing the collected data including trends of the implication of population and spatial growth on Lake.

This paper reports the findings of a study undertaken to assess the processes of land development and the associated impacts in Msasani Bonde la Mpunga, a, flood prone area in the City of Dar es Salaam. Based on official and household survey, non-participant observation and documentary review, the study identified that the processes of changing the use of the land and developing the area were in contrary to the existing regulations including the Urban Planning Act, 2007 as well as the National Environmental Act of 2004. This has resulted into multitude of impacts including formation of temporary ponds surround the houses, physical inaccessibility of the area, prevalence of water borne diseases as impact on properties and local businesses. Marked improvements can be a...

Many governments use strict regulations to deny informal settlements from infrastructure services but in Tanzania informal settlements are provided with such services. This paper presents the findings on how land use transformation is taking place and publicly used spaces disappear overtime in the informal settlements, the context behind and their outcomes. Based on field observation and mapping process, the study analyzed the process and different types of land use transformation which were horizontal, vertical and horizontal-vertical. Also through interviews, observation and documentary review, the study identified context and outcomes of the transformation process. Factors contributed to land use transformation in the study area were socio-economic and spatial factors and outcomes were s...
