Internet access in Africa: empirical evidence from Kenya and Nigeria
(Institute for New Technologies, United Nations University, Keizer Karelplein 19, 6211 TC Maastricht, The Netherlands, 2004)Using empirical and new field data, this exploratory study investigates the pattern of adoption and constraints to the use of the Internet in Africa. A cross-country examination using regression shows that Internet use is ... -
Environmetnal impact assessment process (legal and institutional aspects, procedures and methodologies)
(Department of Architecture and Building Science, University of Nairobi, 2003)The EIA process is carried out in relatively well known and documented procedures but the approach to and emphasis on these procedures tend to vary from country to country and amongst development agencies. The most ... -
Evolution of urban housing strategies and dweller-initiated transformations in Nairobi
(Department of Architecture and Building Science, University of Nairobi, 2011)In her century of existence, Nairobi has served as a laboratory of various housing strategies targeting the indigenous Africans and the poor. Discriminated based on racial segregation during colonisation, the poor have ... -
Root tensile strength of 3 typical plant species and their contribution to soil shear strength; a case study: Sasumua Backslope, Nyandarua District, Kenya
(Univesity of NairobiDepartment of Civil and Construction Engineering, 2011-04)The effect of root reinforcement depends on the morphological characteristics of the root system, the tensile strength of individual roots, the soil-root cohesive st rength, and the distribution of the root system in ... -
Design strategy and informal transformations in urban housing
(Univesity of NairobiSchool of Architecture and Building Science, 2012)Dweller-initiated transformations are mostly chided for their apparent locational spontaneity that is often at variance with functional and aesthetic objectives in formal housing design. This presumes speculator-driven ... -
