Dataset on demographic and Socio-economic triggers of informal settlements: a case study from the peri-urban areas of Woldia.

ABSTRACT: The data collection strategy involved the use of multiple methods. While Primary source of data were collected through the use of structured and semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and a questionnaire household survey; secondary data were gathered from published and unpublished materials and land related legal and policy documents. Primary data were gathered through house to house survey directly administered to a random sample of 244 household heads. Besides to the household survey, primary data were collected via in-depth interviews, and focus group discussion. Interviews were conducted with land brokers, land speculators, key informants and governmental officials. Focus group discussion was executed in two different sessions: one from kebele 04 and the other from the municipality. A total of 87 people from government officials, land brokers and speculators and key informants were interviewed. Secondary data were collected from available documents and land-related legal and policy documents. The data collection process is followed by a detailed qualitative and quantitative data analysis. The qualitative analysis part includes analysis of data obtained from interviews and focus group discussions. However, statistical analysis includes descriptive statistics such as cross tabulation, percentage and correlation were employed using IBM SPSS 20. Informal settlement continues to be a challenge in the contemporary urbanization in Ethiopia. Thus, these dataset have important implications for urban land policy both at local, national and wider audience beyond Ethiopia to reconsider urban informality. The data of this manuscript is associated with the publication [10.1016/j.landusepol.2020.104573].

Project description:IntroductionEmpowerment is considered pivotal for how women access and use health care services and experience their sexual and reproductive rights. In Mozambique, women's empowerment requires a better understanding and contextualization, including looking at factors that could drive empowerment in that context. This study aims to identify socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioural determinants of different domains of women's empowerment in Mozambique.MethodsUsing the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) conducted in 2015 for Mozambique, a sample of 2072 women aged between 15 and 49 years old were included in this study. The DHS's indicators of women's empowerment were used in a principal component analysis and the obtained components were identified as the domains of empowerment. Logistic regressions were run to estimate the association of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioural characteristics with each domain of empowerment. Crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated.ResultsThree domains of women's empowerment were identified, namely (1) Beliefs about violence against women, (2) Decision-making, and (3) Control over sexuality and safe sex. Region, rurality, the experience of intimate partner violence (IPV) and partner's controlling behaviours were associated with Beliefs about violence against women, while Decision-making and Control over sexuality and safe sex were also associated with education, age and wealth. Employment, polygamous marriage and religion was positively associated with Decision-making, and access to media increased the odds of Control over sexuality and safe sex.ConclusionWomen's empowerment seems to be determined by different socio-economic, demographic, and behavioural factors and this seems to be closely related to different domains of empowerment identified. This finding affirms the multi-dimensionality of empowerment as well as the importance of considering the context- and community-specific characteristics.
