    <subfield code="a">&lt;p&gt;The rapid population growth through immigration and natural growth in Adama creates huge demand and pressure on urban land use. Lack of access to land in the formal system for housing forced the poor to access land through the informal system .This was due to a lack of knowledge about the impacts of lacking formal access to land and tenure security on the part of the city government. To fill this gap, this study has assessed the causes and impacts of informality and the city government action on informal settlements. The study employed a descriptive&amp;nbsp;survey method focused on four purposively selected kebeles. Convenient sampling is implemented to select 80 informal settlement residents from each kebele and respondents from the Adama city land administration and environmental protection office and revenues offices. Analysis of collected data revealed that there were mismatch between demand for land and amount supplied by the city administration, the unfair compensation payment fo land expropriated from periphery farmers and the informal settlement that established before 1974. Farmers&amp;#39; villages developed through peasant resettlement were the major factor that contribute to the expansions of informal settlement, in addition to exclusion of the urban&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;poor from the formal public urban land markets as a result of longer bureaucratic procedures and unaffordable payment to acquire land. Even though informal settlements provide shelter for a population expected to reach about 61,000&amp;ndash;74,000, they have brought a negative impact on the social,&amp;nbsp;economic, and environmental settings of the city. Informal settlements cover about 27% of the existing housing units. To improve the environmental and socioeconomic situation, city government action transformed from demolishing to formalization and access to housing through an integrated housing development program. To make land and tenure security&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;accessible to all income groups, the city government must take full account of the need for economic development, social development and environmental protection; adequate shelter for all; and the basic needs for human development and health, in addition to Periodically revising and adjusting legal, financial and regulatory frameworks, including land use,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;building codes and standards&lt;/p&gt;</subfield>
