Abstract:
The right to adequate housing is one among the social rights in which everyone is entitled to.
Nowadays the demand for housing and sheltering is ever increasing. Especially the high
population movement from rural to urban areas is aggravating the demand for houses. The
construction of the so called “Yechreka Bets” is becoming a bone of contention between the
Ethiopian government, Federal and states, and the constructers. The Gondar city is not an
exception in this regard.
The study gathers qualitative data from the participants such as local residents, government
officials and quantitative data from government offices as to number of households and
population. I used interview, questionnaire, observation and different analysis of data collection
tools. At final, the research winds up with possible solutions and recommendations which are
vital for alleviating the problem at hand.
