Morplogical change
The site is found in the Mayleham weredaand contains one
Kebelle which is Kebelle 09.
The site contains both rural and urban region. The people living in
the rural region have been living for the minimum of 50 years and
maximum of from the Atse Menelik period to today.
Most of them are private and Labor workers and are socially
interacted very well.
Building analysis
All of the buildings around the rural site of Mayleham have a
height of G+0 and most of the urban areas are covered with G+0
and some of the site covered with one story, two story, three story
to five story buildings.
The planned site could easily show as building height and street
proportion. But we cannot see because of the roads are not well
built but we can state that the height of the buildings are
proportional to the street and the surrounding buildings and
blocks.
The block has a proportional size with respect to the width and
depth. It has many local streets which makes it walk able.
Most of the houses are built by stones, cement, aggregate;
water and sand but there are some houses which are built by
hollow block, cement, aggregate, water and sand. The rural area
houses are built by Chicka, wood, chide and water .
Housing Ownership
Most of the People living around Myleham site are native
Tigraes. The houses they live in are mostly the property of their
own. There are no Kebelle homes and every house doesn’t have
its own house no and block no especially it is difficult to know
which house belongs to whom. There are a number of rental
homes which are private rental but because of the site is near to
the city many people find it suitable for rent.

Block
There are many people living in one block. There are around 45
blocks in Maylem. But they all have no specified block no block code
no. There exist different kinds of shapes around the site
The block has a proportional size with respect to the width and
depth. It has many local streets which makes it walkable. The blocks
are proportional to each other in the case of height, length and
width .
Street pattern
Their are different type pattern the pattern that the site has is linear
and different irregular patterns like Mekelle .different radial streets
they radiate from the grid collector street the radial types are
almost local street the normal gird are found in the urban area of
site are planned with the newly designed residential buildings they
have almost the characteristics which were seen before except they
are not organized some of the layouts we distracted by the owner
when they are building the sometimes they come to the street out
of their land. The other layout that the site has is the gird radial this
pattern are a found in the old village they are gird but when the
people needed new shortcuts they create new street that make
them radial grids.
Hierarchy
In this site the hierarchy of the street is clear and are divided in to
three this are
• the arterial with width of 25m
• collectors 10-15m
• local 5m
they have a width problems especially the arterial has a lot of traffic
movement as well as pedestrian movement but the width does not go
with the movement it and the other thing is that the collector streets
are not accusable to the local streets meaning the collector streets
are very far from the local once.
In this site high amount of traffic movement occur because there is
a linkage street that link Mekelle and the city to different part of the
region the vehicle movement are mainly the transport from Mekelle to
the site and the other high movement is that the heavy tracks that
transport goods and bus.
accessibility in the site is very low the spacing of the hierarchy is
at a very long distance the local streets are very far from the local
street.
the site does not have junction they have the small junction which
are found at the collector and the main road which is the y juncton.
The perceptual dimension
When we see perceptual dimension we don’t find any historical monument or defining
space it have history but it didn’t symbolize by anything .but when we go to upper where
hills found we can see a beautiful view .near the main road there is a car noise which is
annoying for the people which their house is near to the main road.
The social dimension
This place is used for both commercial and residential purpose .it is easy to access but
the road is un pavement so it is not comfortable for the people specially for disable
people and for old people so people preferred the road is was built by coble stone.
The visual dimension
When we see its aesthetic value it doesn’t have specially near the main road but when
we go to the hill side we can see the beautiful city view and also we can find soft land
scape and when we go down we can find residential and commercial buildings.
