著者：Rwampungu Ivan題名：Basic Study for Multifamily Housing Development Impact on Urban Sprawl Reduction. Case Study of Kigali, Rwanda発表情報：5th International Conference on Civil and Urban Engineering (ICCUE 2018), Barcelona, Spainキーワード：Urban Sprawl; Multifamily Housing; Housing Development概要：Urban Sprawl is a concept with miscellaneous parts including spreading outward of a city and its suburbs to its peripheries with scattered development of various types of land use resulting in an unpleasant environment on the urban fringe while affecting both the inner city as well as the rural areas.
Urban Sprawl is becoming an increasingly important problem in many cities especially in developing countries. Researches also proved the sprawl itself is inevitable but also many methods, which may be applied to each city depending mostly on the main causes, have been studied through those researches to mitigate the sprawling. Causes are numerous including rapid urban population growth, lack of urban planning and/or its follow-up, consumer preferences, etc... (Bhatta, B., 2010). Many solutions referring to the causes have been suggested by researchers.
This study will provide the overview impact of Multi-Family Housing development on the reduction of Urban Sprawl in Kigali, Rwanda. It will also generate key points on which the author will deepen the analysis to optimize the impact of Multi-family housing in reduction of Urban Sprawl.
The City population is increasing day by day and more residential housing units are needed. It is in this regard that the City Council has recently started on thinking solutions to the above-mentioned issue. One of the solutions is the adoption of Multi-family housing development. Within the city, this type of housing is apparently not existing for the moment.
This study will use a scorecard derived from “Smart Growth scorecards” to analyze the impact of Multifamily-family housing development on each cause of Urban Sprawl in Kigali city.
Smart Growth scorecards are basic assessment tools, that have been used in many cities mainly in USA, helping researchers and communities to achieve many things. Smart growth is defined by 10 principles and one of them is the compactness design of buildings in which Multi-family housing belongs.
The used scorecard was adapted firstly by determining the main causes and consequences of the sprawl in Kigali. Next was to find what kind of advantages provided by Multi-family housing development that are contributing to the mitigation of the causes.
Finally, a score relating the level of impact was given to each provided advantage of Multi-family housing. Key points conducting to the optimization of the impact of Multi-family housing on reduction of Urban Sprawl were delivered from this scorecard and were proposed for future researches.抄録：英語フィールド
