  "description": "<p>Land is central to housing and livelihoods, and its demand has risen sharply with rapid urban growth in Ethiopia. This study was conducted to assess urban land management practices in Shire Endaslassie, identify challenges, and propose improvement strategies. A mixed-methods approach was applied, drawing on both primary and secondary data. A household survey of 275 randomly selected respondents (100% response rate) was complemented by key informant interviews with municipal and cadastral officials, focus group discussions, and field observations. Descriptive analysis was used to interpret the data. Findings revealed strong dissatisfaction with existing land management practices. On average, land-related services took 32 months, with delays extending up to 120 months. Corruption, lack of transparency, weak institutional capacity, and limited land supply were the main causes. Assessment across dimensions such as fairness, transparency, responsiveness, digitization, and community participation showed consistently low ratings. About 76% of respondents expressed disapproval of current policies, while 26% of focus group participants specifically identified corruption as a major barrier. Structural challenges included informal settlements, unlawful land acquisition, political interference, poor enforcement, and limited technical skills.Despite these issues, residents supported reform. More than 80% favored adopting modern technologies, legal reforms, staff training, and stronger community participation to improve services. The study concludes that Shire Endaslassie&rsquo;s urban land management system suffers from inefficiency, corruption, and weak institutional performance. It recommends anti-corruption measures, gender-sensitive allocation, digitization of land services, stronger institutions, and mixed-use zoning. Future research should explore land tenure security, digitization impacts, housing subsidies, and gender equity in land access.</p>",
