ABSTRACT

This study explores connections between urban planning, sprawl, and social vulnerability factors in the Sub-Saharan context with the aim to investigate the influence of broader planning and land use aspects in quantitative urban social vulnerability assessment. Dar es Salaam, Tanzania serves as the study area because of its substantial informal development, sprawling, and availability of reliable datasets for recent years. Two main research questions are proposed: does urban planning reduce social vulnerability (measured by quality of life and mobility) and does urban sprawl contribute to social vulnerability in this city? Results indicate formally planned urban areas are associated with higher levels of quality of life and mobility. Further results indicate no significant impact of sprawl on social vulnerability factors of residents in the general urban areas of Dar es Salaam, however, informal sprawl is linked to higher social vulnerability.

摘要

这项研究探讨了撒哈拉以南背景下城市规划，蔓延和社会脆弱性因素之间的联系，旨在调查更广泛的规划和土地使用方面在定量城市社会脆弱性评估中​​的影响。坦桑尼亚的达累斯萨拉姆（Dar es Salaam）是研究区域，因为近年来它的非正式发展，庞大的范围以及可靠数据集的可用性。提出了两个主要的研究问题：城市规划是否降低了社会脆弱性（通过生活质量和出行能力来衡量），城市扩张是否对该城市的社会脆弱性有所贡献？结果表明，正式规划的城市地区与更高水平的生活质量和出行相关。
