28FUTURE DEVELOPMENTPriorities & PhasingPriorities, Phasing, & Management SuggestionsThe possible future land use plan on the preceding page was created to illustratesome of the many ways Kisawasawa can proceed with its growth and development.Though not an official planning document, it does suggest areas and ways for thevillage to start thinking about its development. The following priorities should be thefirst issues addressed.Establish Woodlots and Popularize Alternative FuelWIth access to the major source of fuel ending on 30 June, Kisawasawa needs tobegin implementing woodlots to harvest as fuel. The limited area of the village willnot be able to provide wood for a growing population, however. The use ofalternative fuels should be popularized.Improve & Establish InfrastructureIf population continues to grow and land is further developed, existinginfrastructure will need to be enhanced. By focusing on a few primary roads,water sources, and considering electric lines, this infrastructure can beimplemented in stages gradually over time.Increase Food Production and StorageIf agricultural land in the east is converted into residential land or woodlots,additional areas will need to be converted into agricultural use to support thegrowing population. Maximizing crop outputs will also increase food production.Management SuggestionsThe successful growth and expansion of Kisawasawa will require management andorganization on a variety of levels. On the individual level, villagers will have to beinformed about their land. On the community level, village leaders will have to drivenew ideas and methods. And on a wider scale, if funds become available forparticular services, they need to be managed appropriately.Community WIde ApproachesImplementing land use changes requires a variety of scales. Community wideapproaches are needed to establish infrastructures, permanent woodlots, andagricultural production areas.Individual ApproachesIndividual approaches for residents to implement are also needed. Theseapproaches allow villagers to improve their own quality of life, while contributingto the larger goal of food, fuel, and water security.Create RecordsBy recording the locations of utilities such as wells, pipes, and latrines, andmapping new plots, woodlots, and fields, a permanent record can bestarted, so future residents leaders will have access to it.PRIORITIZING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH:ADDRESSING FOOD, FUEL, WATER AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN KISAWASAWA, TANZANIA
29PROJECT IMPLICATIONSConclusionsThis development project hopes to contribute to the enhanced security of Kisawasawa’snecessities - food, fuel, and water. It has attempted to outline ways to ensure the village’s vitalneeds are accounted for in years to come by providing design recommendations,development ideas, and individual options for community members.Believing that Kisawasawa’s residents are in control of their own future, this project attemptedto guide residents on choices about food production, energy sources, and water accessibilityand quality, while not making strict plans that must be followed. The results are many optionsand opportunities for Kisawasawa’s growth. By prioritizing and combining Kisawasawa’simmediate needs, conceptual ideas for the future growth of the village are realized and amodel for the future development of the village is formed.As populations in this agriculture-dominated valley continue to increase, land will be at apremium and plans for responsible development will be of indispensable value to villages.This development model hopes to not only benefit Kisawasawa but also serve as inspirationfor other communities in the Kilombero Valley that face similar resource challenges.PRIORITIZING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH:ADDRESSING FOOD, FUEL, WATER AND INFRASTRUCTURE IN KISAWASAWA, TANZANIA
