Abstract

The land is required for the development of basic public infrastructure. Compensation for current rights holders of such land must be negotiated. Also, the resulting subdivisions will thus be smaller than the original portions of land, and the parcellation exercise will mean that households do not hold the same portion of land they was having before planning. All these aspects can lead to conflicts over land if not properly managed. To reduce conflicts, a detailed topographic survey of the area has undertaken. Secondary data have obtained from the Rwanda Land Management Authority. The Kigali City master plan provides useful information while the Google Earth Pro platform proved beneficial. The study determined a contribution coefficient factor for each household land parcel/portion before readjustment. The new design has ameliorated the issues in the area as much as possible compare to the former layout. The development of basic infrastructure in this area is positive for all residents and improves land tenure security. All parcels are 2168 Plots including residential extension with 1873 plots for Single Family Residential, 295 Plots remained as Existing Residential and 14 plots having a total area of 4.2 ha will be affected by public utilities, Roads with 28.9Km of length, Ravine having 1.2km of the length, Green Space with 0.4ha, Sport and Leisure with the area of 2.5ha, forest with 3.2ha and Water tank occupied 0.1ha, a contribution coefficient factor on each parcel to achieve the people’s welfare and equitable reallocation of land is 27% and 470,278Frw is predicted the most suitable financial factors for new plots and 317,456Frw for the plots previously permitted and construction projects within Kabeza Site all calculated using the formula developed during this research. However, there are still some serious concerns evident in the newly readjusted area. These should be viewed as recommendations to be considered by future research implementers and partners, particularly the local government units overseeing the research sites. The most important emerging issues are the growing income disparity with the exclusion of the poorest from the development process. Thus, developers and state entities should work together to identify measures to minimize the negative impacts of interventions on the poor and women and also to minimize negative impacts on the environment.
