| dc.description.abstract | Developing countries particularly in Sub Saharan Africa have been challenged with various
urban challenges and up country effective land use management and development. With the
anticipated high levels of urbanization expected to double by 2050 globally, developing
countries are expected to suffer most with these paradigm changes. In an attempt to curb the
associated evils that come with these already developing trends, the use of various control tools
and mechanisms.
In specificity, nations like Uganda, that this research focusses on have made tremendous moves
towards achieving physical planning within their urban and rural areas through repealing,
reviewing and amending the archaic and obsolete colonial laws and regulation concerning
physical planning to better legislations. Despite the goodness and comprehensiveness of these
legislations that have been enacted, their operationalization has met various challenges that have
been evidenced by continuity in unregulated developments at all levels of planning.
This research basically studies the operationalization of physical planning legislations in Uganda
with emphasis on the local authorities where implementation of physical planning is deeply
rooted and in this case, Bombo Town Council. The research seeks to identify how physical
planning legislations are being used at these local levels, obstacles met in using them and the
impact that their use has left concerning physical planning. The recommendations suggested by
this research could be fundamental in countering the already occurring and foreseen challenges
of urban and rural development changes in Uganda. | en_US |
