| dc.description.abstract | This study set out to examine the factors that
have constrained the growth of Magadi. These have been
found to be,the history of the township, the ownership
of land on which the township has developed, the
location of the township visa vis other urban centers,
the population of the township and that of its hinterland,
the weak commercial, and industrial base of the township,
the weak linkages with the hinterland, and a hinterland
with untapped potential.
The thrust of the recommendations set out in
this study are to remove the constraints indicated above,
and to guide the growth of the township in order that
it benefits the hinterland.The specific recommendations
are legal changes in land ownership, strengthening of
the commercial and industrial base of the township
and the strengthening of linkage between the center and its hinterland.
This study is by no means exhaustive further
research especially in the hinterland areas of Magadi.
is necessary especially in areas where semi nomadic
pastoral is practiced. | |
