3.1.2 Trends Freehold – Land adjudication is on going i.e. change from trust land to freehold. The process is slow due to and of reasons including human resources, conflicts resolution takes time because of objections and complaints etc. The government may acquire compulsory land under freehold for public use. In Chogoria compulsory acquisition on a small scale to create space for offices has been effected. Compulsory acquisition for Thuchi/Nkubu road was affected in the 1980s. Land use types – These land use types include urban, rural/urban areas:- 1. Chuka 2. Chogoria 3. Marima 4. Kibugua 5. Kaanwa Land use types in urban areas include: - Commercial - Public utilities - Education - Transport - Recreation - Agricultural Land use types in rural areas include: - Agricultural - Livestock – pastoralism, apiary - Industry - Mining/quarrying/ sand harvesting 3.1.3 Regional and district physical development plans - There is a regional development plan for eastern province. - Chuka is under physical Development 1988 which is soon to be revised. Heavily abused in implementation. - Chogoria – physical Development plan which had been developed in 1994 was never implemented but another plan is being prepared. - Kaanwa – physical Development plan done in 1992 is under proper implementation. - Other markets are being run by the council using lay out plans. Marima is developing on freehold land and is not planned after the town shifted. The same case applies to Mitheru. - Lay out plans are also in use in Itugururu, Kibugua, Ikuu and Kathwana 18
All these areas lack public utility facilities. The open air market in Ikuu was converted from open air to market stalls and this need to be corrected. 3.1.4 Rural settlement schemes There are no rural settlement schemes found within the District. Squatter settlement – Around 30 families have settled on private land on an area close to a riparian reserve land in Chuka municipality. No developments are allowed on plots falling on riparian reserves though the municipal council has given leases for stalls. Land adjudication is ongoing in the lower parts of the district including the whole of Igamba Ng’ombe division and parts of Magumoni, Mwimbi, Muthambi and Chuka. Impacts of displaced persons – These have been experienced in Mwimbi arising from a land-slide threat. Factors influencing shelter and settlement patterns include: i) Terrain ii) Building materials available iii) Availability of services Areas needing urgent planning services due to rapid growth are: - Chogoria - Marima - Kibugua Environmental concerns in settlements include: - Roof drainage run-off - Waste water - Solid waste - Burial sites for dead bodies , human/animals - Conservation of fragile environment sites Table 6: Land tenure system and area (ha) in the district Tenure type Area (ha) 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2005 Leasehold 0.5 Freehold 44.5 Trust land Others Total 55 Source; District physical planner. 19 Remarks Table 7: Planned urban areas City/Municipality Local plans Regional plans 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2005 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2005 Meru South N/A N/A N/A 6 6 6 N/A N/A N/A 1 1 1
