CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

The master plan for the Kabul metropolitan area (KMA) was prepared by the technical cooperation of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) with the counterpart agencies of the then Ministry of Urban Development, Kabul municipality and the Dehsabz City Development Authority (DCDA). To promote the implementation of the KMA master plan, JICA initiated in June 2010 a new project titled the “Promotion of KMA Development” with the same counterpart agencies, consisting of several sub-projects. The two sub-projects that started early are the capacity development (CD) project and the revision of the Kabul city master plan.

As part of the CD project, a survey on the 22 districts of the Kabul municipality was conducted as well as other works to examine the existing conditions of the Kabul city. The latter include workshops to analyze the existing problems of urbanization of the Kabul city, and an organizational analysis on the Kabul municipality. Preliminary results of these works were reported in the Inception Report of the CD project submitted in December 2010.

The final results of the survey on the 22 districts are presented in this report. Specifically, the existing administrative structure of the Kabul municipality and the existing conditions of the districts are presented, updating the data and information contained in the Final Report of the previous KMA master plan study by JICA. Based on these and other works reported earlier, the strategy for urban development of the Kabul city is proposed together with possible scope of subsequent technical cooperation for capacity development of the Kabul municipality.

An important component of the subsequent technical cooperation as proposed is participatory approach to community development in informal housing areas. A preliminary analysis on the 22 districts with respect to informal housing has been conducted based on the data and information collected by the survey and other works, and candidate districts for pilot implementation of the participatory approach have been selected.

The procedure outlined above follows largely the one proposed in the Inception Report of the CD project (Figure 1.1).

1.2 Structure of the Report

The remaining part of the Report is structured in the following way. In Chapter 2, an overview of the administrative structure of the Kabul municipality is presented. This is an updated version of the corresponding section in the Final Report of the previous JICA study (Sector Report 1: Demography and Social Development). In Chapter 3, district profiles are presented describing the existing conditions of the 22 districts of the Kabul municipality. This is an updated and expanded version of the corresponding section of the same report as mentioned above.

In Chapter 4, the strategy for urban development of the Kabul city is proposed based on the district profiles that are the results of organizational analysis and other related works as well as the KMA master plan. Possible scope of the subsequent technical cooperation for capacity development of the Kabul municipality is presented. In Chapter 5, the results of the preliminary analysis on the 22 districts are presented, and candidate districts for pilot application of the participatory approach to community development in informal housing areas are suggested.

CHAPTER 2 ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE FOR KABUL URBAN

DEVELOPMENT

2.1 Overall Administrative Structure for Kabul Urban Development and Management

2.1.1 Administrative structure of Kabul municipality

The administrative structure of the Kabul municipality consists of 17 departments and other units under the Mayor and three Deputy Mayors after the restructuring by the new Mayor (Figure 2.1). The re-structuring established the Human Resources Department directly under the Mayor. Of the three Deputy Mayors, those in charge of Technical Matters and Construction and City Services are directly under the Mayor.

The departments of the Kabul municipality more directly related to urban planning and development are 1) Policy and Coordination Department, 2) City Planning and Implementation Department, 3) Construction Control Department, 4) Acquisition Department, and 5) Tendering and Maintenance Department, and Land and Property Department.

departments for donor-assisted projects. Considering the large number of donor-assisted projects, the department may be under-staffed, and workloads tend to concentrate on the director.

(2) City Planning and Implementation Department

This department undertakes works related to urban development projects such as preparation of topographic maps, development plans, design documents, quantity taking and cost estimate, approval of design documents, and approval of facilities in architectural buildings. At present, a new residential development project is going on in District 19 based on the structure plan and detailed plan prepared as part of the 1978 master plan. Its implementation, however, has been delayed due to difficulty in negotiation with landowners.

(3) Construction Control Department

This department is operated by teams each consisting of five civil and architectural experts. There exist seven teams, each taking charge of a few districts for inspection of construction works. Those works assessed inadequate, constituting some 10% of all the works, are reported to the Administrative section of the department, which in turn reports to the National Security Department. Then, the works are suspended by the police.

The Private section of the department assesses and determines the land value based on conditions of road construction and other location specific conditions. The land prices thus determined are put to public announcement for land acquisition and distribution related to development projects. No adjustment is made to land prices at the time of transactions.

(4) Acquisition Department

This department undertakes land acquisition based on cadastre maps and detailed plans. It holds land ownership documents and sales records for period as old as 60 years ago. In acquiring land, land prices determined by the Construction Control Department are used for land sales or equivalent land transfers. The land prices are not changed in the course of transactions, and disputes are settled by the mediation of community leaders and others. The procedure of land acquisition has been prescribed by a Presidential decree.

(5) Land and Property Department

This department allocates government land to the Kabul city, related organizations and the private sector according to the city master plan. Individuals may apply for land and each obtains a plot of land. Land prices are determined by the procedure prescribed by a Presidential Decree. In reality, the land allocation and coordination works seem to be undertaken by the Director, who reports directly to the Mayor.

2.1.2 District administration

(1) Organization

For administration of each district in the Kabul municipality, the district head is appointed by the Mayor. The district office consists of six major departments: 1) Administration, 2) Engineering for control of all the construction activities, 3) Revenue for tax collection, 4) Planning for planning and management of activities and reporting them to the office, 5) Market Regulation for quality, quantity and prices surveillance and control of goods, and 6) Cultural Affairs for organizing various events.

In addition, another major component of the district office activities is conducted by a cleaning team formed and dispatched by the Cleaning Department of the Municipality for street and public space cleaning, and solid waste collection. Only District 14 is not working under the coordination with the municipality, and it has its own cleaning department and team.

In 2010, the deputy district head has been established in the district administrative structure. No personnel have yet to be appointed for the position.


5

(2) Functions

Permissions and certificates issued by the district office include 1) business permit for shops, 2) construction permit for any kind of building structure based on the Municipality’s land use permit, which include a temporary permit for a structure to be built in unplanned area, 3) property trade permit, and 4) marriage registration and certificate. These functions are associated with respective eviction, eradication and fines.

The revenue management by the district covers collection of cleaning tax, land rent, permit fee, parking fee and fines. All the revenues are transferred to the Municipality. The district receives salaries of district officials, minimum stationeries, and occasional office rent.

The district office facilitates implementation of projects of public nature and distribution of aid goods and projects. It acts also as a conduit for dissemination of public information to the residents. To perform these functions effectively, the district utilizes the community structure based on Gozar (sub-district).

(3) Staffing

The number of staff in each district office is summarized in Table 2.1 by function. Most engineering staff hold either bachelor's or master's degrees. Others are high school graduates.

(5) Finance

The local budget of district administration is supported by local revenue, block grants from the Ministry of Finance and the Kabul municipality, and others including donors’ contribution. The total local revenues by district are summarized in Table 2.3 for 2006-09. After the land tax (rent) is prohibited by the Ministry of Finance, the local revenue has decreased significantly, especially in District 10. Up to 2006, the district administration collected 12% of the rent for rented houses from owners, but it was banned in 2007. The increase in local revenue for District 3 is due to construction of multi-story buildings and increasing number of shops. Increasing construction activities and licenses issued, flourishing economic activities, and changes in people’s attitude to pay taxes have contributed to increasing local revenues in many districts. Also, cleaning fees started to be collected.

2.2 Issues of district administration

2.2.1 Irregular administrative situations of newly established districts

Districts 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22, newly joined the Kabul Municipality, are still under the process of establishing Gozar based administrative structure. As the municipality cannot provide standard services to village areas where main economic activity is agriculture, the residents in these districts tend to rely on the respective provincial district offices.

The similar situations may occur in other districts where a mass of agricultural areas are mixed with urbanized areas. The community system in village areas headed by Malik has not been integrated into the district system of Gozar/Wakil (sub-district head), and thus no data on these village areas are collected by the district office. For instance, the office of District 12 tends to concern mainly for planned urban area, and only one Malik out of seven major villages has joined the Gozar/Wakil system. Lack of regular contact with community representatives by the district office may result in ineffective facilitation by the office for future implementation of municipal projects.

2.2.2 Community structure

A Gozar is represented by the Wakil who is elected by the residents, screened by the Police Department and endorsed by the Kabul municipality. The unit of Gozar has been recently standardized to represent 500 houses or more. In a transition period, the size of some Gozars is smaller than 500. In exceptional cases, a Gozar may contain even 3,000 houses. The division of Gozar with more than 1,000 houses is left to voluntary act of the residents.

In most districts, committee meetings are organized by Wakil regularly, twice a month or every other week, and additional meetings may be convened on demand. The meetings serve as the two-way conduit of information regarding problems and requests to be reported by residents and public announcements and actions to be delivered.


8

2.2.3 District passport

The Wakil reports the Gozar population at least annually. The basic data of the district are registered in the "district passport", including the population and the numbers of Gozars, health care facilities, schools, mosques, commercial and manufacturing establishments, and other facilities. However, those numbers registered in the passport are not necessarily accurate or mutually consistent. For instance, the numbers of households and houses are mixed up, sometimes deliberately. On the other hand, data on the number of Gozars and Wakils are reliable, and according to the data, there are usually 500-1,000 houses in a Gozar.

As part of the survey on the 22 districts of the Kabul municipality, the latest district passports have been collected from all the districts. The data contained in each passport are quite comprehensive in coverage, and potentially useful for urban planning and management albeit their quality is not totally warranted varying from district to district. Data are partially missing in some district passports. These make any cross-sectional, comparative analyses across the districts difficult. Also, even the population data reported in the district passports are questionable.

2.3 Characterization of Districts by Historical Evolution

2.3.1 Classification of residential areas

The residential areas in the Kabul municipality are categorized into the following seven types according to their settings:

A) Residential areas in the designated residential area within the planned urban area under development

B) Residential areas in the designated non-residential area within the planned urban area

C) Residential areas in unplanned urban area that are original urban area within the current Kabul city

D) Residential areas in unplanned urban area that have developed virtually into urban residential area from former rural community

E) Residential areas in unplanned newer urban area that have farmland mixed with residential areas

F) Residential areas in unplanned rural setting

G) Residential areas in inappropriate land for residential use

These residential types are classified also into legal, informal, and illegal. Only Type A falls in the legal class. Type G including part of Type B is classified as illegal, while the others are classified as informal. The urbanization patterns in the Kabul city are schematically shown in Figure 2.2.

(1) City center and urbanized areas

As shown in Figure 2.2, the city center covers District 1 and parts of Districts 2, 3 and 4, encompassing central commercial areas, old and unplanned residential areas (Type C), and public spaces with buildings. Most residential areas in District 1 developed decades ago, well before the 1978 master plan was prepared. These are thus unplanned residential areas.

The city center is surrounded by the various types of urbanized areas basically of residential natures except the strips along major roads that are commercial and/ or public use areas in general. There is a detached planned urban residential area (Type A) in District 12.

The distribution of residential areas of different types as defined above is illustrated in Figure 2.3. The surrounding areas within the old Kabul city boundaries have been urbanized by conversion of former farmland to residential areas. These areas are both planned and unplanned. The unplanned areas cover outer urbanized areas of Districts 10, 9, 7, 6, and 5, most of urbanized area in District 13, both side of the Airport in District 15, and middle zone to inner part of District 16 and 8 (Type E


9

except Type D areas in District 6 and 16).

Figure 2.3 Distribution of Residential Areas of Different Types


10

The areas surrounding the western to northwestern part of the city center are planned urban area based on the 1978 master plan or earlier plans (Type A). They cover parts of Districts 2, 3, 5, 10 and 15, and most parts of Districts 4 and 11. Small portions of Districts 8 and 16 also fall in this category.

The areas surrounding the southern and western part of the city center are called Char-de-Hi or four villages, which cover parts of Districts 7, 6, 3, 5 and 13 (Type E). The area in District 6 was urbanized before the 1978 master plan preparation (Type D). The original residents were mostly Tajik farmers who lived and cultivated the areas. Many of their descendants still live there.

The farmlands in Districts 9 and 10 have been converted to residential areas. Usually, construction works are undertaken without permission for owners’ residential and/or sales purposes (Type E). The same cases are observed in Districts 7 and 13. Some farmlands still remain in these areas, and home garden type cultivation is practiced in Districts 7 and 10. Ownership of land and structures is clear in these areas as well. These areas are considered to stay unplanned due to inability of the Municipality to provide basic infrastructure and services. The offices of Districts 1, 7 and 9 encourage landowners to obtain temporary permits to build or rehabilitate houses even on their farmlands.

The residential areas on the lower skirt of hills in District 10 are original farming settlements for farmers who used to own large farmland in the middle of the district (Type D).

(2) New urban developments

In District 17, new residential and commercial developments have been taking place along the national highway (Type A). They include spontaneous residential developments (Type E), which are occupied largely by middle to high-class houses and planned relocation of commercial facilities from the central part of the city.

In District 16, a large-scale urban development for 8,000 housing plots is proceeding based on the 1978 master plan. The development of multi-story buildings along with a new north-south road is going on in the adjacent vacant land as well.

There are new planned urban residential area developments (Type A) in the mid-western part of District 6, in the middle of the northwest border of District 20, and in the middle of the western border of District 19.

In District 18, there were some farmlands. However, they have been abandoned due to the recent drought and turned to brickyards.

(3) Rural settings for development

Urbanization has not been much realized in Districts 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 newly joined the municipality, and also in agricultural land with farming settlements in District 8, 12, 14 and 16 (Type F).

(4) Informal/illegal settlements

Informal or illegal settlements are found in all over the districts in the Kabul municipality. They have been developed in different conditions and during different periods of time. In District 2, most of the land has been grabbed by high-rank officials and most residents are Panjshiri (people from Panjshir) or Shamori. Rapid population increase reinforces the expansion of unplanned residential area in several districts.

Illegal settlements are found in both the city center and its surroundings, especially on the hill slopes and low land along the river (Type G). They occupy public property, and the population is increasing with inflow of people. In District 16, residential areas are located in hilly areas designated by the 1978 master plan as the greenery.

People have settled in some vacant land in District 13. The areas adjacent to the planned urban area in District 11 on lower hill skirts have also been occupied recently and the same phenomenon is observed on southern hill skirts in District 18. The many of recent influx of people have apparently been absorbed in this type of illegal areas. Ownership of land is ambiguous in these areas.

2.3.2 Categorization of informal/illegal settlements

As seen above, informal and illegal residential areas are different in historical development and other conditions. An attempt is made to categorize them into the following eight classes:

A) Repatriation from other countries after establishment of Karzai interim government in 2001

B) Settlement of immigrant population from other provinces or areas because of deterioration in the security situation and job seeking

C) Expansion of planned housing area

D) Development by land grabbing

E) Development approved by other parties but not by the Kabul municipality

F) Housing not complying with KM building regulations

G) Conversion of farmland to residence because of the rapid population increase

H) Local inhabitants who have been living there for over 20 years and the places left behind as an unplanned area

The distribution of different types of illegal settlements by district is summarized in Table 2.4.

Table 2.4 Distribution of Informal/Illegal Settlements by Type in Each District

District Types Note 1 B 2 D Most residents from Panjshir and Shamori 3 B, C Most immigrants came from around provinces especially Logar 4 C, D 5 C 6 A, H Inhabitants Kabul origin (Chahr Deh), Returnees from Iran and Pakistan 7 D, H Inhabitants Kabul origin 8 A, B, G Immigrants are mostly from Logar, Khost, etc. In recent 5years returnees from

Iran and Pakistan have been increased. 9 A, B, G After interim government established, returnees from Iran and Pakistan, and

immigrant from other provinces have been increased. 10 B, D Especially 2009-2010, the population has been increased 11 B, D Land was grabbed by violation during the war 12 G, H Inhabitants are the area origin 13 A, D Most immigrants came back from Iran after the interim government established. 14 D, G, H Most of informal housing development has started after the interim government

established. 15 B, D, E, F There are 4 types of areas have been developed in each way 16 D, H Inhabitants are the area origin in north east area (Ghale Ali Khail) 17 D 18 E, H 19 H Most habitants are the area origin 20 H Most habitants are the area origin 21 D, H Land issue with Kuchi (nomad) 22 H Most habitants are the area origin

This classification is based on the interviews with each district office. To be precise, all types of categories may apply to all districts more or less, but the classification presented in Table 2.3 is an attempt to show the characteristics of different districts. More detailed and specific information will be presented in Chapter 3.

CHAPTER 3 DISTRICT PROFILES

3.1 Survey on 22 Districts

3.1.1 Purpose of the survey

The CD project for the Promotion of KMA Development seeks to refine the procedure for planned urban development in the Kabul city. This will involve both the improvement of conventional urban planning with structure and detailed plans and the introduction of a new urban planning and management system with zoning ordinance and building codes. The latter will be undertaken based on the revised Kabul city master plan prepared by another sub-project: the revision of the Kabul city master plan.

In the subsequent stage of the technical cooperation, pilot areas or districts will be selected to implement the refined procedure. To apply the refined procedure to pilot areas or districts, basic data and other information are necessary from each district. Therefore, a questionnaire survey of the 22 districts was designed to collect basic data and information useful for applying the refined procedure of urban planning and development.

3.1.2 Conduct of the survey

(1) Survey team

In order to conduct the survey effectively and efficiently, a joint survey team was formed by the CD team in cooperation with the Kabul municipality. Specifically, the survey team consisted of two counterparts from Planning and Implementation Department of the municipality and two members from the JICA CD project team.

(2) Survey schedule

The survey team visited all the 22 district offices starting on August 1st and ending on September 27th, 2010. Table 3.1 shows the implementation schedule of the survey.

3.1.3 Collected data and limitations

(1) Collected data

The survey team collected answers to the questionnaire sheet, district passport data, organizational chart and district map from each district. All the materials collected from districts were translated from original Dari to English. The data and information were analyzed to clarify characteristics of each district, and additional interviews were conducted as necessary. Also, the latest district passport data have been compared with those collected during the previous JICA study.

In addition, as supplement information to the district passport, other data souses were used for some items such as the land, education facilities and health facilities. Those other data souses were the survey report of Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd. (ICT) and Education Management Information System (EMIS) by Ministry of Education.

(2) Limitation of data collected

Regarding the district passport as data source, many of them contain dubious data in terms of accuracy and lack data entries with many blanks. Some units of measure are misused and/or confused such as kilometers and hectare, square meters and tons. Consequently, calculations of numbers for certain entries are impossible. In addition, the number of items in the district passport for 2010 was increased to 254 from 240 in that of year 2008. Therefore, the comparison of data between the two years is difficult.

To confirm data accuracy of the district passport, the CD team members visited district offices several times during October and November 2010. Also, the Mayor of the Kabul municipality urged all the district offices to revise their passport data as necessary at the presentation of early results of the 22-district survey by the CD team in January 2011. Consequently, Districts 3, 5, 8, 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, and 21 submitted their revised passport data in March 2011.

3.2 District Profiles

3.2.1 District 1

(1) Location

District 1 is located centrally as it represents the old city that established its basic structure during the 1940’s and 50’s with its main street of Jada-i-Maiwand. It occupies a small area in the south of the Kabul River. It is surrounded by Districts 3, 6 and 7 constituting part of Chahar-dehi or the four old villages in the west and the southwest, and the extension of the city center in District 2 to the northwest and parts of Districts 9, 16 and 8 to the northeast, east and southeast, respectively.

(2) Land use

District 1 has a land area of 4.67km2, the smallest of all the districts in the city. Vacant or bare land due to the southwestern hills accounts for 18.9% of the district land, and miscellaneous land covers 45.7ha. Other than a small water body and swamp area, the district land is all urbanized. Urban area accounts for 65.3% of the district land, of which 46.6% is of high density.

In the southeast corner of the district there are a large cemetery and military facilities. The northwest corner is a public space continued from the national stadium area. The western half of the northern side of the main road of is a major market place of the Kabul city supplying goods not only throughout the city but also to other provinces. There exist also the former king’s graveyard, hospital complex and a female school. The eastern half is mostly residential.

The area between the Jada-i-Maiwand road and the lower main road is a residential oriented mixed-use area with commercial activities. The middle part of the district adjacent to the hill skirt is also a residential oriented mixed-use area.


14

(3) Settlements and people

The residential areas in the district develop on both sides of Jada-i-Maiwand Street, especially in the eastern part. Approximately 25 apartment buildings are located there. Many buildings are used also for commercial purposes such as shops and storage. The area between the upper and the lower main roads and the area along the foot of the hills are residential mixed-use areas.

The residential areas except the hill skirt area are the oldest residential areas of the Kabul city also associated with some areas in District 2. The residents in these areas are generally poor. Tajik and Hazara have almost the equal shares as dominant peoples.

The percentages of district workers engaged in manufacturing and services are 10% and 90%, respectively. Food production (sweets, nan, dried fruits, etc.) in small-scale is very active. Construction works are not active, for the area is considered as a historical city and people still rely on traditional construction materials and methods even for rebuilding and repair of old buildings. As a governmental project, several old buildings are going to be reconstructed such as Baghe Ghazi Road, Khaja Safa Mosque, House of Mother of Amanollah Khan, Baghe Ali Mardan, and Achak Zaiha Road.

(4) Community participation

There are five kinds of councils: Vokalay district council, Sarasari Kabul council, Kateb Novin council, local council, and community council. The district office has a weekly meeting with Wakil council.

The district chief has experience as a Wakil, and the coordination with communities is good under his leadership. The communities cooperate with the district office both physically and financially. For example, they provided 50% of finance for a road project recently to have the roadside drains widened from 30cm to 70cm in cooperation with the district office.

(5) Informal/illegal housing areas

Most people have been settled in the area over the past 20 years because of the unstable security conditions in other provinces. More than 40% of residents who live around the hill slope areas are facing poor living conditions, and particularly problems with water supply, solid waste disposal and sanitary conditions are serious.

(6) Infrastructure

All the residential areas are covered by the city water supply system either by house connections or street taps. Fewer people are covered by the city water supply system with house connections. The residents in the hill area bring water from street taps at the foot of hills. The planned areas have septic tanks but human wastes are disposed of locally. Two underground drainage lines exist as well as roadside drains.

All-day power supply is available only 50% of the residents although electricity extends to all the residential areas. The supply to the rest is limited to 12 hours during the day and 5-7PM in the evening. Many residents still use fuel wood for cooking and heating while the use of gas is becoming popular.

The conditions of sanitation and wastewater discharge are poor. Cleaning by the Department of Cleaning of the Kabul municipality is not conducted properly according to the district office.

Road coverage, particularly by major roads, is among the highest in District 1 of all the districts. The district is favorably served by social facilities, including five hospitals, two public clinics, 10 primary/secondary schools and three high schools.

(7) Development issues

Most parts of the district are not planned as they developed many decades ago. Consequently, their residents have no legal ownership rights to their land and houses though their "resident rights" are publicly recognized. As a practical measure to alleviate the improper legal status, the district office issues temporary permits to allow major repair works on the condition that local materials are used for


15

the works.

Restoration of urban and architectural heritage has been undertaken supported by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) in the old city area in cooperation with the Ministry of Urban Development Affairs (MUDA, formerly MoUD). The planned extension of the lower east-west main road may undermine the old residential area in the southern part of the district. Increasing informal housing on the hill slopes is a threat to the restoration works.

The district office expresses wish to construct a road between Ibn-Sina and Shwhadah-e-Sahkehine. Two new hospitals are going to be constructed.

The district office identifies low income, limited employment opportunities and widespread poverty as serious problems in the district. Population increase is a factor for the high unemployment rate, and poverty tends to lead to drug addiction among the youth according to the district office. They consider tourism development to be highly promising in the district due to the historical sites if they are restored.

The local revenue has increased even though the land and housing tax was banned by the Ministry of Finance. This is because the rent for government land has increased, and the prices for houses and shops have risen.

3.2.2 District 2

(1) Location

District 2 is also centrally located, occupying the opposite side of the Kabul River to District 1, and extending to the northwest. The main road extends to the northwest in the northern part of the district. The district is separated by hills from District 3 to the southwest and bordered on District 4 to the north. The northeastern corner of the district borders on District 9 and District 10.

(2) Land use

District 2 has a land area of 6.76km2, the second smallest next to District 1. Its urban area occupies 72.6%, of which 33.6% is of low density. No agricultural land exists. Vacant or bare land covers 7.3% of the district land due to the hills on the southwestern border with District 3, and additional 4.3% is rock outcropped area. Parks and greenery cover 46.3ha.

District 2 constitutes part of the city center, and public, commercial and residential areas have developed since decades ago. The district is known as a high-end business and commercial area of the city, accommodating many government offices, public and diplomatic facilities, hotels and a variety of shops, and the municipality office. Some historical buildings are found in the area around the Kabul River.


The planned residential area stretches in the northern side of the district west. The residents in this area are generally rich. Informal housing areas have developed on the hill slopes since 60-70 years ago. They have been expanding to higher land in recent years. Many houses in this area were built by landowners almost overnight often by force and sold to poor people. The majority of the residents are descendents of the original Kabul residents, consisting mainly of Tajik and Hazara in equal proportion.

Of the district workers, 60% are engaged in self-employed (e.g., shopkeepers), 20% in governmental services, and 20% in private services. Medium-scale lumber dealers, construction materials dealers and food markets exist. There are some carpet sellers in the district. The employment situation is reasonably good though approximately 20 % of the population is jobless and poor.


The district office has a regular meeting with the Wakil council every 15 days. The participants in


16

the meetings are 20 Wakil Gozars in the district, the district police chief, the district national security chief, the chief of the water distribution department, and the chief of the electrical power distribution department. Generally, the residents maintain good communications among themselves and resolve their problems through local meetings.

KURP is a one of the community development projects implemented in the district. The district officer, however, is not informed of the project (e.g., subject communities, activity plan, results, etc.).


Most of the district land has been grabbed by high-rank officials from Panjshir and Shamori. The settlement in the west (Area 1) developed earlier, 10-20 years ago, and the population in two settlements in the center (Area 2) and the east (Area 3) has been increasing rapidly after the first presidential election.

About 20% of the district population lives in the hill slope areas, and the living conditions vary widely between the 20% of the residents who live in the informal housing areas and the remaining 80%. The residents in the hill slope areas use wells or street taps and have no access to power supply. They have no cultural center or social facilities.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water is available throughout the district but the water is supplied every other day. Most households in the planned areas have their own wells with pumps. Most residents in informal areas rely on nearest street taps. Totally 80% of population has access to piped water and 20% relies on wells around hill slope areas. Human wastes are disposed of locally, causing hygienic problems. Drainage is not functioning properly, and sewage gets stacked often, causing foul smell in areas such as in Dhan-e-baghe.

Power supply is available in the entire district including informal areas but only for 12 hours and from 5-7PM in the evening. Fuel wood is still used for heating by the majority; for rich people, the use of gas is becoming popular.

District 2 is adequately covered by road network. The density of main roads is the highest of all the districts. The main roads are 80% paved including Karte Parwan Road and Karte Ariana Road. The road of Koh-e-marcaz is 40m wide, and Karte Ariana is 60m wide, and therefore pedestrian crossings are needed.

Seven hospitals and 11 public clinics are all located in the planned areas. The district has one primary, six secondary and 11 high schools (nine for boys and two for girls). Higher-grade schools also operate lower-grade classes. Two private colleges exist: the Karawan University and the Afghan College.

The district has four parks. The district office has 118 cleaning staff members and a sanitary vehicle. Yet, some residents tend to dispose of garbage in cemeteries.


The eastern parts of the district are not planned as they developed many decades ago. Consequently, the local residents have no legal ownership rights to their land and houses although their rights are publicly recognized. Increasing informal houses on the hill slopes pose health threats to the city residents since sanitation facilities are inadequate.

Restoration of urban and architectural heritage has been undertaken supported by an NGO (Turquoise Mountain). It should be linked to the heritage areas in District 1 through a bridge and pedestrian way.

Roadside drains are provided in the planned areas but not connected to the main drainage canal, causing frequent overflows of wastewater and damages to roads. Dumping of solid wastes into the Kabul River is a matter of concern.


17

The district office considers tourism development is promising in the district due to some historical places such as the grave of Abdorahman Khan and some parks such as Zarnegar Park, one of the oldest parks in Kabul. They consider commercial activities can further develop especially in the Quowae Marcaz area.

3.2.3 District 3

(1) Location

District 3 constitutes the western peripheries of Chahar-dehi or the four old villages. Hills occupy the border area in the northeast separating the district from District 2. The urbanization has proceeded from the district to the west into District 5, and to the south into District 6. The district shares a short border with District 7 in the southeast, where informal urbanization proceeded.

(2) Land use

Of the total land area of 9.22km2 in District 3, 82.0% is urban area, of which 34.3% is of low density. There exists small agricultural land of 5.7ha or only 0.6% of the district land used for rainfed agriculture and orchards. Vacant or bare land covers 8.8% due to the hills on the northeastern border with District 2.

The Kabul University campus occupies a sizeable land lot in the central part of the district with two southern annexes for graduate or teachers’ schools. The Kabul Zoo is located in the southeast corner close to the borders with District 1 and District 2. Commercial areas stretch mainly along the easy-west main road of Jada-i-Sehi Aqrab and its southward principle road in the west and the road constituting the western border with District 5.


The urban area in District 3 is 70-80% formal and the rest informal. The informal residential area on the hill slopes developed 60 to 70 years ago, earlier than planned areas. People living there are among the poorest in the district. Other residential areas are planned and inhabited mainly by middle-income people mixed with some poor and rich people. Some residential areas were planned and developed before the 1978 master plan. Original residents of Chahar-dehi are mainly Tajik.

District 3 is one of the oldest districts in the Kabul municipality, and it is kind of mixed area with residences, several academic institutions and active markets including shopping centers. Some manufacturing works such as furniture production and construction materials industry are also observed. The commercial areas have developed well by the implementation of the governmental plan. There are some carpet dealers. Room for further commercial development is very limited.


There are district council and Wakil council, and the district office has a regular meeting every 15 days to discuss various community issues. For one of development projects supported by the Pamlarana Institute, the councils have created a supervising team and implemented the project.


The population in the informal housing areas has been increasing rapidly for the past five years. The informal settlement along the northern border of the district (Area 1) has expanded from planned housing areas, and the one at the northeastern corner (Area 2) has been developing with immigrant population from other provinces, specifically from Logar.

Particularly, water supply and solid waste disposal are serious problems around hill slope areas. The communities have a solid cohesion and try to tackle their issues by themselves.

(6) Infrastructure

District 3 was a key battle area during the civil wars, and its infrastructure in all aspects was destroyed


18

especially roads and drainage. The city water supply is available throughout the district. Most households in the planned areas have their own wells with pumps. Most residents in the informal areas rely on nearest street taps. Septic tanks are used in the planned areas though sludge tends to be disposed of locally due to shortages of de-sludging vehicles.

Power supply is available in the entire district including the informal areas but only for 12 hours and from 5-7PM in the evening. Many people still use fuel wood for heating, but an increasing number of rich people now use gas.

Road coverage in the district is adequate. The road density is slightly lower in District 3 as compared to neighboring districts as the Kabul University campus occupies a large area. Several hospitals and public clinics are all located in the planned areas. The district has 20 primary/secondary schools and 14 high schools (nine for boys and five for girls). The district is generally well served by social facilities.

The district has four parks and a zoo: Dibri Park (being improved by USAID), Nawruzy Park, Chamcha Mast Park, and Karte Mamrin Park.

Sewerage discharge and solid waste disposal are serious problems. The district population has been increasing rapidly and support of government is not catching up at all.


The residents in the unplanned area in the north do not have legal ownership rights to their land and houses. Still, their resident rights are publicly recognized. Increasing informal houses on the hill slopes pose health threats to the city residents as sanitation facilities are inadequate.

The district office intends to develop many roads such as Bazar Karte Char-Kotesangi-Saraye Ghazni road, Karte Char-Rabia Balkhi Road, Jamal Mina-Kotesangi Road and the road of Fabrike Hajaj Boton. USAID is supporting the drainage improvement in the district.

The district office clarifies that the local revenue decreased as the Ministry of Finance banned the land tax; it has increased in recent years due to the increase in multi-story buildings and shops in the district.

3.2.4 District 4

(1) Location

District 4 constitutes the main extension area of the city center. The suburbanization has been proceeding northwestward along Salang Watt Street from District 2 and further into District 17. The district is bordered on the planned residential areas of District 11 and District 15 to the north, and District 10 to the east.

(2) Land use

District 4 has a land area of 11.63km2, of which 83.1% is urban area. Moreover, 54.2% of the urban area is of high density. District 4 is in fact the most densely developed and populated of all the districts in the city. The district has small agricultural land covering 11.5ha or 1.0% of the district land for rainfed agriculture and orchards. Vacant land occupies only 6.0% due to hills along the southwestern border. The Macrorayon housing complex occupies 6.6ha. Lively formal and informal markets are found in the suburbanized area along the main street.


The district is almost completely filled with residential and commercial areas. Souvenir shops are found along Chicken Street and Flower Street, and vegetable shops and meat shops flourish along the Bucher Street. There are some carpet dealers. The district constitutes active market place extending from District 1.

Of the urban area, 70% has been developed formally according to the 1978 master plan, and planned


19

residential development is still continuing with associated commercial areas. There exist several high to medium-rise buildings in the district, including one of the tallest buildings in the Kabul city. High and middle-income people are mixed in the formal housing areas; low and middle-income people live in informal housing areas.

A large number of hotels and wedding halls exist in the district, contributing to government tax revenue. Two major private universities (Kardan University and Ssalam University), banks, and ministries (Ministry of Women Affairs and Ministry of Foreign Affairs) are located. Thus, the residents mostly engage in service occupations such as shopkeepers, waiters in hotels and also in governmental services.


There are district council and Wakil council, and the district office has a regular meeting with Wakil council every 15 days. The district office makes a development plan and they discuss about it in the meetings as necessary.


The areas along Salang Watt Street closer to the boundaries with District 2 have developed as an expansion of the planned housing area. Especially, people in the area next to District 2 (Area 4) started to settle in the area over 20 years ago. The extension of the area to the northwest (Area 1) started to expand 5-10 years ago. The areas further to the northwest (Area 2) and informal settlements have been developed by land grabbing. The informal settlements within the areas in the southeast (Areas 3 and 5) developed earlier started to develop after the interim government was established, but the informal area in the northwestern part started to develop earlier, during the war, 10-20 years ago.

Although the problems belonging to the informal areas are all serious, main issues are summarized by numbered Area as shown in Table 3.2

Table 3.2 Problems Identified by Area in District 4

Very serious Serious Water supply 3, 5 1,2,4 Solid wastes 1,2,3 4 Sanitation 5 Access to employment 1,2,5 Lack of parks and greenery 2,3,4,5

(6) Infrastructure

Though the city water supply is available throughout the district, its reliability is low especially during the summer. Most households have their own wells installed with pumps. The residents in Shahre-naw, Karte Parwan, Taimani use the piped water, and people in Shahar Ara and Kolola Pushta rely on wells. As a whole, of the planned area residents, 85% use piped water and 15% rely on shallow wells. Drainage covers about 50% of the district land.

Electricity is available for 12 hours a day and between 5 and 7PM in the evening. Most people use fuel wood for heating while the rich use gas. Septic tanks are used most widely but they have resulted in waste discharge problems.

The road density in District 4 is the highest of all the districts. Of the main roads, 90% are asphalt paved, and 85 to 90% of secondary roads are unpaved.

Being dominantly planned, the district is well covered by social facilities. Several hospitals and five public clinics are located in the district. The district has eight primary/secondary schools and eight high schools (four each for boys and girls) to accommodate 80% of the residents in the district.

There are two parks in the district. The municipality dispatches cleaning personnel and a sanitary vehicle to collect garbage, but due to labor shortages, residents are not satisfied with the municipality

services.


An urban drainage system has been planned by the municipality covering District 4 according to the 1978 master plan, but road side drains are not connected to the main drainage canal. The district is covered by an extensive road network, but most of them except some in the planned areas are unpaved. The district office suffers from weak revenue base for its budget.

3.2.5 District 5

(1) Location

District 5 constitutes western peripheries of the old Kabul city called Chahar-dehi meaning four villages. It is separated by hills in the north from District 17, and the Cham Chamest River flowing from Pagman to join the Kabul River forms the southern boundaries with District 13. Urban areas in the east continue from District 3, and rural areas in the west continue into District 14.

(2) Land use

Of the total land area of 29.2km2, urban areas occupy 49.6%, agricultural land 14.0%, and vacant or bare land 30.9%. Of the agricultural land, orchards account for 14.0% and rainfed agricultural land 10.0%. The agricultural land in the west is owned by MAIL, but occupied by informal settlements.

Agricultural land remains in the north of the Social Science Center along the northern artery road. There exist other public and semi-public facilities along this artery road such as the Kabul Polytechnic University, Afghanistan-Korea Vocational Center and Red Cross. The Ministry of Defense facilities are located in front of the Korean Vocational Center.

Near the junction between the road from Pagman and Kandahsr Road is located a large automobile market. The Kote Sangi bus terminal is located nearby. The district earns substantial rent revenue from the land and cleaning taxes.


The central area between the northern and the southern artery roads is planned. Unplanned residential areas locate on the northern hillside, and also in the western side of the Kabul Polytechnic University. The southern side of the southern artery road is mostly unplanned residential area, including informal residents occupying agricultural land. The district land is 30% formal and 70% informal.

The old Kabul people are mainly Tajik. Other residents have come from the city center and southern provinces. The ethnic majority is Hazara.

The percentages of district workers engaged in construction and services are 30% and 70%, respectively. Most residents engage in governmental services, shopkeepers and daily wage labor. Construction works are quite active as the municipality has been undertaking several projects. The Kote-sangi road will be undertaken soon, the road in periphery will be completed soon funded by UAE, and the Ghargha Karte Mamuring road has been started to work.


There are Wakil council and Chahar-dehi council, and the district office has a weekly meeting with them. Main roles of these organizations are coordination of activities in the district.


The people who live in the south to the south of the east-west artery road (Area 1) and in the west to the north of the same road (Area 2) are the original residents of the district. They settled in the area over 20 years ago. The residents in the northeastern areas (Areas 3 and 4) are immigrants and


21

returnees from other provinces or other countries. Especially, the area at the northeastern corner (Area 4) started to develop after the civil war, 5-10 years ago. The residents in the northern area (Areas 5 and 6) who live in the hill slope areas started to settle five years ago. The land in the northwestern corner (Area 6) has been grabbed by people. In recent years, many farmlands have been converted to residential areas because of the increasing population.

The main problem is lack of water especially in the hill slope areas. Although private companies supply water, the price is high for the residents, and most people carry the water from wells or public taps along the road up by themselves. Sewage water discharge is also a serious problem.

(6) Infrastructure

The planned residential areas are served by the city water supply either with house connections or street taps. The residents in the unplanned areas use either common wells or individual wells. In the planned areas, some use flash type toilets but most people dump wastes into traditional ditches of drying up system. In the unplanned areas, human wastes are disposed of locally without considering the locations of common wells. Septic tanks are used by 80% of the residents. Power supply covers most parts of the district.

Road densities in District 5 are lower than those in central districts, for its western part is sparsely covered by a road network. Because the district was a battle area during the wars, roads were damaged severely.

District 5 has six hospitals, nine clinics, and a major hospital is going to be constructed. There are three primary/secondary schools and 20 high schools (16 for boys and four for girls) in the district. The municipality dispatches cleaning staff and a sanitary vehicle in working order.


The urbanization in the district has been extended from Chahar-dehi to the western part along Kandahar Road with unplanned residential areas. The remaining agricultural land is under threat of extinction. Informal settlements are developing on the northern hills.

Conflicts with Kuchis are noted as a problem by the district office, as they damage green area for livestock. Conflicts with immigrants living in tents are also noted.

The local revenue of District 6 is increasing rapidly despite the ban on land and housing tax. It consists of Safayee and license fee.

3.2.6 District 6

(1) Location

District 6 used to include District 13 to the west, and the two districts together constitute the southwestern peripheries of the old Kabul city called Chahar-dehi or four villages. Urban areas extend from District 3 to the north. District 6 is separated from District 7 to the east by Darulaman Road and small roads extending to the south. The southern part is mostly mountainous.

(2) Land use

District has a land area of 49.1km2, of which vacant or bare land occupies 50.8% mostly in the mountainous area in the south. The urban area occupies 32.5% and agricultural land 13.5%. Of the total agricultural land of 660.5ha, irrigated crop cultivation accounts for 452.6ha or 68.5%. Orchards occupy 180.1ha.

The agricultural land owned by MAIL is located in the middle of the district and still used by farmers in small areas undertaking urban or suburban agriculture. Informal commercial areas are developed along the main road in the west, extending from the road separating District 3 and District 5. Automobile shops and related industries are located along the east-west road in the north.


22


The formal area occupies 10% of the urban area in the northeastern corner of the district, and the rest is informal. Land for housing is generally small typically ranging in 100-200m2. In the west central part, a new town is developed by MUDA. The area like Karte-seh was a battleground of the civil war, and thus its roads are totally damaged.

Of the district residents, 60 to 70% are old Kabul people in Chahar-dehi. The residents are a mixture of Tajik, Pashtun and Hazara peoples. Many refugees have returned from Pakistan, Iran and other countries to resettle in the district.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and services are 50%, 25%, 5%, and 15%, respectively.


There are 11 kinds of councils including Wakil council and Afshar Silu council. The district office has weekly meetings with the Wakil council to discuss community issues.


The residents in the eastern central part (Area 1) of the district neighboring on District 7 are immigrants mainly from Iran and Pakistan after the interim government was established. The people in the northern part (Area 2) of the district, Chahr Deh, are the original Kabul inhabitants, who started to settle there over 20 years ago.

The most serious problems in the informal areas mentioned by the district office were the lack of access to safe water and no sewerage system. Also most people there do not own vehicles, and public transportation is available but not sufficient. Community cohesion is strong and the people help each other to solve their common problems.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water supply covers only planned areas, Karte-she and Omid Sabz town. The residents in the unplanned areas use common wells provided by NGO’s or individual wells and maintain the wells by themselves. Only a few houses in Karte-seh have standard septic tanks, and most people dispose of human wastes locally. UNHABITAT and Care International are active in public health activities. Floods occur during spring in the north along the river.

About 90% of the district residents receive power supply. The road density is the lowest of all the original Chahar-dehi districts and much lower than that in the city center.

District has six hospitals, and six public and private clinics are also available but beyond the reach of ordinary people. District 6 has 14 primary/secondary schools and their facilities are generally in poor conditions. There are 15 high schools in the district.

The residents are educated on solid waste disposal; they prepare black plastic bags for trash by themselves. The district has a 20,000m2 green area including parks damaged during the wars.


As the district land is largely informal, many temporary building permits had been issued but were lost during the civil war. Informal settlements have been developing rapidly beyond control. The remaining agricultural land is under the threat of extinction.

A new Parliament complex is planned to locate in the south of the Darulaman Palace. The National Museum, hospitals and other social facilities are found to the north of the palace surrounded by a generally low-density residential area. This area may be developed into a socio-cultural area of the city.

The main problems facing the district, identified by the district office, are limited access to safe water, lack of public transportation, delay in restoration of damaged roads, poor sewerage system, and poor


23

law and order. The employment situation is relatively good though income, especially that of government staff, is low.

3.2.7 District 7

(1) Location

District 7 constitutes the southern peripheries of the old Kabul city called Chahar-dehi or four villages. It occupies largely the eastern and the western banks of the Kabul River. The eastern and southern parts are mountainous, separating the district from District 1 to the northeast, District 8 to the east and District 20 to the south. The main access to the district extends from District 3 in the northwest. The district is separated from District 6 to the west by Darulaman Road and small roads extending to the south.

(2) Land use

The land area of District 7 is 32.5km2, of which 46.8% is urbanized. The agricultural land occupies 17.0%, and vacant or bare land 31.6%, which is largely mountainous. Of the agricultural land, 68.7% is used for irrigated crop production, and orchards occupy 20.8% producing mainly grapes. Mulberries are also produced for sericulture toward the southern end of the main road.

MAIL owns agricultural land in the south, 50% of which is occupied by houses without building permits. The public land in the southeast corner of the district is vacant. The sand deposited at the regulation dam in the middle of the river is used for construction purposes. A military area extends to the south between District 7 and District 20.

The American University of Afghanistan is in the process of establishing a new campus next to the Kabul University veterinary science faculty along Darulaman Road. The Babur’s Garden has been restored by an AKTC project.


The urbanized areas of the district are more than 95% informal. Of the residential areas, 55% is old habitat. Several villages in the northern part were urbanized 50-60 years ago. The unplanned areas in the middle of the district are also 50-60 years old. The development of a small parliament town is underway in the south.

Commercial and residential developments have been taking place along the main parliament road, including land readjustment. In the residential area, original inhabitants are compensated with the value of original building types, and have the right to return after the land readjustment by purchasing land at market prices evaluated by the municipality.

There are old factories that used to produce mechanical materials, dishes and wooden furniture. They are damaged during the wars and abandoned at present.

Of the district residents, 60-70% are old Kabul people in Chahar-dehi, mainly of Tajik. Pashtun and Hazara people are mixed in the district population.

The largest dairy company is located in Chehelstun, which produces about 20% of the dairy products distributed in Kabul and mostly to the army and the police in the Kabul area. A number of residents engage in governmental services for living, whose salary is quite low.


There are two kinds of councils: district council and Chahar-dehi residents’ coordination council. A tree planting project and cleaning project have been implemented by the district initiative.


The people in areas along the western border (Area 1) are the original Kabul inhabitants, who settled there over 20 years ago. There are several areas belonging to the government, which have been


24

grabbed by people around 10-20 years ago. These areas are mainly in the eastern part (Area 2) of the district but some areas belong to the western half: Brishna Kut, Tape Mollah Gozar, Gozar Gah, Yakhdane, Wassel Abad, Chehelstun, and Qalai Fatuh.

District 7 is totally an unplanned area and the entire area is residential, and their living conditions are fairly bad. The main problems for the residents mentioned by the district office are lack of public transportation, poor road conditions, limited power supply, and poor sanitation with traditional toilets.

Formerly, human wastes were reused for agriculture, but as the population has grown rapidly and people have converted their farmlands to their residences, their wastes can no longer be handled naturally. Consequently, the wastes have polluted water causing foul smells. This problem is found even in Darulaman where there is a waste dumping site. The water pollution from human wastes constitutes a serious problem in both the natural and the human living environment.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water supply is not available in District 7. People use local groundwater by either common or individual wells. A very few houses have septic tanks, and human wastes are disposed of locally. In the past, human wastes used to be applied to agriculture, but they are now dumped in a place in Darulaman. Floods occur during the spring season.

District 7 is not served by grid power either. Some areas such as Rishkhor have no power supply. The road density is relatively high, comparable to the average conditions in the old Chahar-dehi area. Coverage by major roads is very limited, and road conditions are generally poor.

The district has two hospitals and six clinics (five public and one private). There are many informal clinics as well. The district has 20 primary and secondary schools and 11 high schools consisting of four boys and seven girls high schools. It is planned to turn one secondary school into a high school.

Babur Park is a famous park in the district, which is the only active park, and two other parks were destroyed during the war and have been abandoned since then. There is a public swimming pool near Babur Park, and it is popular for Kabul residents especially for men in summer time.

The municipality's capacity to collect solid wastes is insufficient. District 7 produces about 150m3 garbage per day but the municipality disposes only around 60m3 per day and the rest just remains on the streets causing foul smells.


As the district is almost all informal, many temporary building permits were issued, but many of them were lost during the civil war. Informal housing has been developing rapidly. The land readjustment project is going on to improve the living environment of informal housing areas, but its effectiveness is unknown. The road network is poor in terms of both coverage and surface conditions.

The district chief conceives Deh Dana, Chehelstun and Chahar-deh as locations retaining traditional atmosphere. Several historical places exist in the district such as Babur Park and Ghaleh Fatuh. If the security condition permits, tourism development is promising in the district.

The local revenue of District 7 has been increasing despite the ban on land and housing tax collection. This is due to the increasing construction activities and license fee collection, change in people’s attitude for tax payment, and economic development.

3.2.8 District 8

(1) Location

District 8 is located in the southeast of the city center. It is separated by hills in the north from District 16 and in the west from District 7. The Logar River constitutes the east to southeast borders of the district separating it from District 22 on the other side of the river. Large flat land extends along the river used for agriculture.


25

(2) Land use

Of the district land of 48.4km2, 33.7% is urbanized, 33.9% agricultural, and 25.1% vacant or bare land. Of the agricultural land, irrigated crop production occupies 61.3% and orchards 37.0%. The vacant or bare land is mostly hill area.

The southeastern part of the district was originally agricultural land irrigated by water from the Logar River, but urbanization started 50 to 60 years ago. Some agricultural areas exist in the south of residential area around Binihesar, where mainly grains and vegetables are produced. To the southwest of Shohadaysallehin Street, there is a large lake of Koli Hashmat Khan created centuries ago for hunting.


Planned commercial and residential areas have developed as an extension of the city center along Bagrami Road since 40-45 years ago. In the western side of the main planned area, a high-class residential area called "the Golden City” is under construction by the private sector with a permit from the municipality.

In the northern hillside of the main planned area, unplanned residential area extends, started some 20 years ago. In the southern side, urbanization started 50-60 years ago from semi-planned area into the agricultural area in the form of unplanned residential area. Some parts have been developed by the private sector as commercial and residential areas, but regarded as unplanned developments.

The original village people in District 8 are 50% Pashtun mixed with others. As the district is close to the city center, many people have immigrated to live in newly developed residential areas developed by the private sector.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, construction, and services are 30%, 20-30%, and 30-35%, respectively. Of the service employment, 10-15% is in the private sector and some 20%in governmental services.


The district office has a regular meeting with the Wakil council every 15 days. They discuss their issues and the council recommends a development plan, and they will implement it if it is manageable in the district; if not, the district chief sends it to the municipality.

A garbage collection project, and sanitation and basic health care education program have been implemented under the cooperation with Mullah (religious leader), and an endemic diseases report project and other projects have been implemented.


Other than Shah Shahid, Masjide Ettefagh, Sayeed Mohammad Shah Mina, and Rahman Mena, all areas are unplanned. As the population has increased rapidly, farmlands have been converted to residential areas, and in 5-10 years, illegal housing around hill slope areas has developed.

Immigrants are mostly from Logar, Khost, Paktiya, Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunar, and Panjshir provinces. Moreover, many returnees from Iran and Pakistan have been reported in recent five years. Residents in hill slope areas carry water up. While a water tank truck comes, the cost of water is high for the residents. Sewerage is also a serious issue as polluted water is discharged down the hill.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water supply is available only for planned areas covering 15-20% of people. People in unplanned areas use local groundwater by either common or individual wells. The quality of water is very low, which tastes salty. Only about 5% of households have septic tanks. Human wastes are disposed of locally often in ditches, causing foul smells. Sewage flows into the Logar River through 9.5km canal.


26

The Golden City housing complex has its own water supply, 24 hours electrical supply, drainage system and septic tank systems. Some sludge is applied to the livestock farm in the middle south of the district.

Only 30 to 50% of the district residents are supplied with electricity from the grid. The road density in the district is comparable to the average level in the old Chahar-dehi districts.

District 8 has 10 hospitals and 15 public clinics. The district has seven primary/secondary schools, of which one school is to be turned into a high school, and eight high schools (five for boys and three for girls). They follow a four-shift operation.

Solid wastes pose a serious problem as 95% of garbage is not collected and remains by the roadside.


For the district has good access to the city center, the urbanization pressure is mounting. The urbanization has been proceeding further to the south into the agricultural land. The protection of the existing agricultural land and groundwater recharging areas along the Logar River is an important development issue. The informal settlements on the northern hills have developed relatively recently, and living conditions are comparatively better. Formalization of these informal settlements is another issue.

The district office considers agriculture still promising in the district. It also expects small factories to be established in the district creating jobs for 1,000-1,200 local residents.

3.2.9 District 9

(1) Location

District 9 extends from the city center in the southwest to the northeast and eastern directions along Jalalabad Road. The southwestern part is extension of the city center, and the northwestern part is bordered on the Kabul international airport. The eastern part constitutes the main gateway to the Dehsabz area with borders shared by District 18 and District 19. The Kabul River flows along the southern borders with District 16 extending to District 12 in the further east.

(2) Land use

Close to a half (48.4%) of the district land of 24.5km2 is urbanized. Still, agricultural land occupies 29.7% with orchards and rainfed crop production having the similar share in agricultural land use. Of the urban area, the Macrorayon housing complexes occupy 102ha. Vacant or bare land is limited to 13.7% of the district land.

District 9 was originally all farmland except the western end developed into the Macrorayon housing complexes. In the west central part, farmland still remains mixed with informal housing. The eastern part along Jalalabad Road has been developed largely into an industrial park and sold to private companies mixed with patches of farmland and informal housing particularly in the southern part of the road.


The western part of District 9 is divided into two areas. One is the northern area where farmland and informal housing are mixed. The other is the Macrorayon housing complexes at the southwestern end of the district. Informal housing areas have developed in former farmland by landowners. Therefore, about a half of residents in informal housing areas are farmers, while others are mainly salaried workers including government officials, teachers and security personnel who commute to the city center and nearby.

Tajik is the majority in informal settlements stretching from the center to the west. In the eastern part of the district, Pashtun are the majority.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and services


27

are 50%, 40%, 5% and 5%, respectively. There are industrial parks, furniture manufacturing, construction materials, and food and beverages industries in the district.


There are two kinds of councils: Wakil council and Odkhil’s youth council. The district office has a regular meeting with Wakil council every 15 days. As there is no compensation system to Wakils, some Wakils are unmotivated.

Drainage works in the Odkhil area was created under the cooperation with the Odkhil’s youth council. Security cooperation was done with the police department, and garbage by the roadside was collected also by this council’s initiative.


Since the interim government was established, population in the area has been visibly increased with immigrants from other provinces and returnees from other countries such as Iran and Pakistan. The district chief mentioned that the security in provinces has been getting worse and people seeking jobs were determined to settle in Kabul.

Many farmlands in the district have been converted to residential areas since 5-10 years ago. Other than residents in Macrorayan blocks, there is no sewerage system and no piped water although the quality of water from wells is also good.

(6) Infrastructure

Macrorayon has its own water supply and septic tank systems. Only 20% of residents have access to piped water. Other areas are served by individual house wells or common wells. UNHABITAT has provided 61 wells with pumps. Common wells are managed by residents organized according to street system. Some human wastes are applied to farmlands nearby. Drainage is not functioning properly, and sewage water gets often stacked up in front of the Ministry of Public Health.

Grid power supply covers the entire district, but limited to 12 hours a day and between 5 and 7 PM in the evening. People use fuel wood and gas for heating.

Main roads are asphalt paved such as the Kabul airport road and the Abdol Hagh junction, but secondary roads are much damaged.

District 9 has one military hospital with 200-bed capacity and five public clinics. All the facilities are in planned areas. There are two primary/secondary schools and 12 high schools in the district. Higher-level schools operate also lower level classes.

A new park was built in 2009, and there is one green park. In the municipality, 140 cleaning staff and six sanitary vehicles are operating, and 90% of garbage is transported to Gazak.


As the district is in the easy commuting distance from the city center, many farmlands have been sold and converted into housing areas without permission. Although the district office encourages landowners to obtain temporary building permits, many informal houses are developed almost overnight or during weekends without permits.

The road conditions in the district are generally poor. Even the main roads are not equipped with proper drains, and they often become impassable during rains and snows.

The main problem facing the district is the lack of sufficient jobs according to the district office. The district officials consider industrial parks to be desirable for generating employment in various manufacturing activities.

Security is an increasing concern in the district as it is located along the main east-west artery of Jalalabad Road with heavy traffic carrying cargoes and army vehicles.


28

3.2.10 District 10

(1) Location

District 10 is located to the north of the city center, neighboring on District 2 in the southwest, District 4 in the west and the southwest, and the southwestern end of District 9 in the southeast. The northern part is bordered on the Kabul international airport in District 15.

(2) Land use

Of the total district land of 13.0km2, over three quarters (75.3%) are urban areas. Agricultural land is limited to 10.8% of the district land with rainfed crop production and orchards having similar shares. Vacant or bare land accounts for 5.6% of the district land due to hills.

The central and the northern areas used to be agricultural areas, but now are occupied mostly by informal housing. Wheat and vegetables are cultivated in the remaining agricultural land. The southern end is an old planned area occupied by public buildings.

Three ministries are located in the district: the Ministries of Public Health, Haj, and Women’s Affairs.


District 10 has been developed with 30-35 formal housing areas as the extension of the city center. These areas stretch along the southern and western peripheries of the district with housing mainly for rich people. In these areas such as Wazir Akbar Khan and Shehrpoor, large supermarkets and restaurants exist, attracting many foreigners. Sherpoor is a place dominated by high-rank officers and high authorities who have grabbed land lots and built luxurious houses and let houses to foreigners or offices at high prices. A new “Olior residential project” is under development in the vacant land in the northeast peripheries.

Old informal residential areas exist in the southeastern and the eastern parts of the district. The residents in the areas own the former agricultural land in the central and the northern areas and have spilled over into the central and the northern areas to live as informal residents. They are old residents or their relatives who have lived there for 70-80 years. Of the urban areas, 65-70% is informal.


The district office has a monthly meeting with the Wakil council including security personnel. The community is not so much active to plan and implement projects; rather people express their problems individually and wait for the reactions of the district office.


For the past five years, especially during 2009-2010, the district population has rapidly increased. The district chief mentioned that because of poor security conditions in other provinces, people moved to Kabul. As they cannot afford housing in planned area, they look for informal/illegal housing. Due to the increasing population, people have converted farmlands to residences. Lack of sufficient jobs is a serious problem in these areas.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water supply is available only in planned areas, but not very drinkable. Most households have their own wells installed with pumps. Human wastes used to be applied to farmland by the farmers previously, but due to both increasing population and reducing farmlands this practice has become less popular.

Power supply from the grid is available in the entire district including informal areas, but the infrastructure facilities are very old and need to be renewed. Many people use fuel wood for heating, but rich people use gas. The road density in District 10 is the highest of all the districts, although the


29

coverage by major roads is lower than in the central districts.

Planned areas have five hospitals and three public clinics in the district. One or two public clinics exist in informal areas. The district has the Indira Gandhi Children’s Hospital and another hospital near the airport. The district has 10 primary/secondary schools and five high schools, and they operate on a three-shift basis due to the shortage of schools.

The district has two large parks with greenery. Cleaning works are undertaken by the municipality, but their services are not satisfactory according to the district office. Medical wastes from the hospitals are also a matter of their concern.


District 10 has developed formally as the extension of the city center, but informal residential development has overwhelmed the district development particularly into former agricultural land. Further encroachment of the farmland is likely as the land is owned by old residents and the urbanization pressure is mounting. The remaining farmland may be used effectively to create better living environment for old and new residents.

As the agricultural land is converted to urban areas, on-site disposal of wastewater has become difficult. Septic tanks of some high-rise apartments are not properly functioning. Roadside drains are not connected to the main drainage canal, causing frequent flooding during winter. Existing many hospitals create another issue of medical waste disposal.

A few development projects have been undertaken in the district including Ghale Fatollah Road, road and drainage improvement in Shar-e-naw and a road project in unplanned area.

The main problem facing the district is unemployment according to the district office, which causes insecurity and corruption as well. The district office considers commercial activities are highly promising in the district.

3.2.11 District 11

(1) Location

District 11 constitutes part of the suburban area extending from the city center toward the northwest. Its urban areas continue from District 15 in the east and District 4 in the south. The northern boundaries are hills separating the city from the Dehsabz district. The district is separated by hills from District 17 in the west with the national highway providing the only access between these two districts. The district is a gateway to the north with the bus terminal at Serai Shomali.

(2) Land use

Of the district land of 17.4km2, three quarters (75.4%) are urban areas. There is no agricultural land. Due to hills in the north and the west, vacant or bare land accounts for 21.0% of the district land. Practically, the entire district land has already been used for residential and commercial purposes.


There exist six planned residential areas in District 11: four planned by the 1978 master plan, and two newly planned. The first planned area developed already in 1975 in the southern central part. Carpet shops are located in this area for carpets imported from Iran through the northern trade route. Also domestic carpet industry is popular in the district.

The second planned area developed in 1981 in the eastern side of the first area. The third planned area developed in the further east. In these areas, commercial areas stretch along the east-west road for textile and clothing as well as other products. The forth-planned area developed in 1986 to the north of the second and the third planned areas. The fifth and sixth newly planned areas developed adjacent to the old planned areas. Unplanned areas developed in the west in 1979 and in the north in 1995. The military police occupies the western part of the district.


30

During the civil war, as District 11 was relatively calm, markets moved to the district and made a large market, called “Licee Maryam”. Also, a number of hotels and wedding halls exist, contributing to the government tax revenues.

Most residents engage in private sector works such as shopkeepers and clerks. Carpet manufacturing and sales are important activities in the district. Some residents commute to the city center. Bus transport services are provided for commuters. The majority of district residents are Tajik with some 80% share. Pashtun have a 10% share, and the rest are mixed.

The percentages of district workers engaged in construction and services are 65% and 35%, respectively. Of the service employment, 30% is in the private sector and 5% is due to government staff. Many residents work as daily wage laborers.


There are Wakil council, Rohaniyun council, and local council. The district office meets with the Wakil council every 15 days. They make an activity report paper. Recent activities include the following. In the first quarter, more than 4,000 seedlings were planted in the district. Around the Hazrati Ali Mosque, trees have been planted and surrounded by fences. A tower has been built by national trader in the Qala-e-Najara. Twelve streets have been asphalted under the cooperation of the residents.

The councils submit their development plans, and the district office supports to implement them. If it is necessary, they invite private entities to the meetings and negotiate for construction of junctions or squares.

The road from Khair Khana to Shamori has been constructed by the community. A number of residents came from Shamori, and they hold land in Shamori and live in Khair Khana.


The land at the northeastern corner (Area 1) and in the northwestern portion (Area 2) of the district was grabbed by the main force during the civil wars.

Most residents use generators for electricity, and the lack of sewerage system is a serious problem. Wastewater flows in vacant land or ditches, causing foul smells and environment pollution.

The residents are poor, who are mostly day workers, but their communities are mature and the local council is active. There is mutual help system among them to solve common issues. Law and order are well secured by the police.

The city water supply is available in planned areas. Some households have their own wells and small pumps or water tanks. Approximately 30% of the residents use piped water and 70% rely on shallow groundwater. Although people use piped water, the water availability is limited to only once a week, and its infrastructure facilities are old and they need to be renewed. Some households have septic tanks but others dispose of human wastes in ditches to dry up, causing foul smells in residential areas.

The main roads in the district are asphalt-paved but in need of repair, and secondary roads are unpaved. The road density in District 11 is the highest of all the districts, and the density of major roads is also higher than any district other than those in the city center.

Electricity is available for 6-7 hours in the evening and supplied to 90% of the residents in the planned area. On the other hand, 10-20% of the residents in the unplanned areas do not have access to power supply. Some residents own generators.

District 11 is very well served by health facilities with four hospitals and seven public clinics. There are five primary and secondary schools and 13 high schools (seven for boys and six for girls) in the district.

The municipality is cooperative regarding cleaning with 100 cleaning staff and six sanitary vehicles,


31

but because the vehicles are always out of order, garbage often remains uncollected by the roadside. The district chief assumed that the residents would need to be educated regarding waste disposal.


Informal settlements are developing in the northern and western hill areas. Their relocation and re-settlement in the district would be difficult since the district has already been fully developed with high density.

The main problem in the district is the lack of sufficient employment opportunities. As the district was the safest place during the civil war and many shops moved there, there is no space for markets to develop further.

3.2.12 District 12

(1) Location

District 12 is located further east of District 16. Two outer districts newly added to the city border the district: District 21 to the east and District 22 to the south. The Logar River constitutes the western boundary separating the district from District 16, and the Kabul River makes the northern boundary with District 19. The district land is relatively flat occupying the fluvial plains of the Logar River and the Kabul River.

(2) Land use

District 12 has a land area of 34.8km2. Despite the dominance of flat land, only 33.2% of the district land is urbanized. Agricultural land occupies 42.8%, where irrigated and rainfed crop production areas have similar shares of 48.6% and 45.3%, respectively. The main crops are wheat and vegetables that are sold well in the city center because of their good quality. Vacant or bare land accounts for 21.7% of the district land due to patches of unproductive land and small hill area.


A planned development area exists in the central part of the district with 17 blocks and 15,363 plots developed 25 years ago for government officials. The Per-char-hi village is located in the east of the planned area. The village head has become the Wakil under new urban administration. The Per-char-hi national prison is located to the north of the village, and small private markets exist nearby.

There remain six more villages: Shena, Kamari, Bagrami, Kola Shanan, But Khak, and Hussein Khel. The agricultural land is owned by both the Government and private entities. The original villagers are of mixed ethnicities but the majority is Pashtun.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and services are 30%, 5%, 15%, and 40%, respectively. Most residents were farmers and live in agricultural land. Many of them now have small shops in the area or are street sellers.


There are four kinds of councils: Wakil council, olam and rohanuyun council, disables council, and youth council. The district office regularly meets with the Wakil council every 15 days.

Due to unfavorable economical conditions in the district, the district office is not expected to have financial cooperation from the residents. Yet, they are willing to implement projects such as a tree-planting project. Recently 57,000 seedlings have been planted in different areas.


People in the district are mostly original residents, and they have their own lands. Their lands used to be for farming, but due to the city expansion and increase in population, residents started to build houses and shops in their farmlands.


32

There are not sufficient infrastructure facilities for the residents in informal housing areas such as roads, transportation system, drainage, drinking water resources and power supply, and the district office has no capacity to implement community services in these areas.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water supply covers only planned areas. People in unplanned and rural areas use local groundwater by common or individual wells. The quality of water is low in some area, which is salty and bitter. Human wastes are disposed of locally either at housing compounds or in ditches and also applied to agricultural fields. Septic tanks are used by 10% of the residents.

Grid electricity is supplied to only 5% of the residents. Some residents have their own generators, and the use of kerosene is common.

The district has relatively low road density due to its limited planned area. Recently, 11.2km road length has been constructed. Secondary roads of 124km are not asphalt paved. A good quality bridge has been constructed on the Kabul River.

The district has no hospital, and three public clinics and six small private clinics. The district has five primary/secondary schools and 23 high schools (17 for boys and six for girls), 10 of which are private schools.

The municipality has 63 cleaning personnel and one sanitary vehicle, and 60-70% of garbage is collected. A large park is under construction with an area of 49,000m2


One major issue in District 12 is the mixture of urban and rural administrations. There are 14 Wakils and six Maliks in the district.

There are a few informal housing areas as the district is located away from the city center. There remain many vacant land lots that are easy to obtain since no law or regulation applies to them. As transport links are improved with the city center, these land lots may be grabbed and used for informal development.

3.2.13 District 13

(1) Location

District 13 contains the western peripheries of the old Kabul city called Char-dehi or four villages. Its western side constitutes the city boundary. Its territory extends southward to the mountain area that also marks the city border. The urbanized areas of the district extend from District 5 in the north and District 6 in the east.

(2) Land use

District has the large land area of 46.6km2 but 40.2% is vacant or bare land as the southern part is occupied by mountains. The urban areas account for 32.0% of the district land. Agricultural land extends in 23.5% of the district land, which is used mostly (86.9%) for rainfed agriculture. The agricultural land in the east is occupied by informal houses. Several farmlands owned by MAIL are left unused only with some trees.


Most residential areas in the district are unplanned except the area along the artery road newly constructed. In the southeast, an unplanned town of Omed Sabz exists.

Of the district residents, 90% are from other districts and provinces and Iran. They are mostly (90%) Hazara.

Religious and racial issues are serious in the district and they often develop into disputes.


33

Particularly, the residents fight over land tenure and such disputes sometimes turn into murder cases.

Of the district workers, 80% engage in daily wage works and 20% in marketing. Domestic carpet industry is very active but not profitable for the workers. There exist a small beverages factory, carpet making and sales, poultry raising, and other economic activities. There is a brick production area in the outskirts of the district.


There are three kinds of councils: Wakil council, women council, and local council. The district office has good communications especially with the women council, and every 15 days they have a meeting.

Several projects have been planned and implemented through the coordination between the district office and the councils. The main road was constructed under the cooperation with local communities. For the tree-planting project, residents planted seedlings along the main roads. Residents have just started voluntary garbage collection every 15 days.


The entire district land is unplanned. Of all the districts, this district has the most returnees from Iran. Especially, they started to build their residences in the areas along the main road and in the central eastern part after the establishment of the interim government. Several areas have been grabbed by high-rank government officials.

(6) Infrastructure

No city water is supplied to District 13. People extract shallow groundwater by common or individual wells. Two NGOs have provided common wells together with the residents organizing for the management and maintenance of wells. The quality of water is very low, tasting salty and bitter. The residents sterilize water by themselves. Human wastes are disposed of locally often in ditches, and 10% of the population uses septic tanks.

Electricity is supplied to 10% of the population who live along the main street. Some residents have their own generators, and the use of kerosene is common.

Whenever a flood occurs, serious damages are caused in the Chamcha Mast area. A bridge is necessary in the area.

District 13 has three hospitals and three public clinics, and most patients go to hospitals in the city center. There are 10 primary/secondary schools and eight high schools (four each for boys and girls). Still the number of schools is not sufficient for increasing population, and sometimes 70-80 students are studying in one classroom. Many cases of tuberculosis are observed, affecting the economic condition of the residents.

Although the municipality has 80 cleaning staff and four sanitary vehicles, two vehicles are always out of order and only 10% of garbage is collected. The rest is left by the roadside.


Despite its peripheral location, the district has relatively good access from the city center. Also, the district is the gateway from/to the southern provinces. Therefore, many people come to live or stay in the district, including returned refugees. A new artery road has facilitated the inflow of people from the city center.

Informal settlements are developing into agricultural land, while there remains unused agricultural land. As the urbanization pressure increases and the new artery road extended to link to Kandahar Road, the remaining agricultural land would be prone to conversion into urban uses.

The district office considers low income, limited employment opportunities and widespread poverty to be all very serious. There are many cases of tuberculosis and they are considered to be due to


34

poverty. Traditional industries such as carpet making, metal works and carpentry have some potentials for improvement. Old construction materials factories need improvement by investment.

3.2.14 District 14

(1) Location

District 14 is located in the western-most part of the city. It constitutes the center of the Pagman district. The district is separated from the rest of the city by distance and by hills separating it from District 17 and District 5 in the immediate east. The western part of the district is mountainous.

(2) Land use

The district land is dominantly hilly and mountainous, covering 60% of the district land more or less, with some agricultural and recreational areas. The district land has not been completely mapped at this time. Of the mapped area of 47.3km2 or 37.1% of the district territory, urban areas occupy 8.6%, agricultural land 47.0% and vacant or bare land 24.6%. Bush or shrub land, and grassland and pastures occupy 16.9%. The agricultural land in the district is used to produce various fruits such as apples, cherries and apricots as well as wheat and vegetables. The Kharga Lake area is a popular weekend resort for city residents for golf, picnic and others.

Many parks and green areas exist in the district, including the Kharga Lake area popular as weekend resort for city residents, and some recreational facilities can be found that belong to ministries, banks, and other governmental entities.


The urban population of the district concentrates in the Pagman town. Otherwise, only small rural settlements exist in the district. The residential area accounts only for 5% of the district land. The people in District 14 are mostly Pashtun with a small Tajik population.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture (including livestock), manufacturing, construction, and services are 45%, 10%, 40%, and 5%, respectively. There are two mineral water companies and one sand-producing company. Wheat and various fruits are produced in agricultural land. About one quarter of residents keep livestock in backyards. Some recreational and entertainment facilities exist for additional employment.


The district office and communities meet regularly. They work on issues and implement projects together as necessary. In the past, they had a tree-planting project in which the district office provided the communities with the seedlings for planting. They have cooperated to take care of trees and on a cleaning project.


The entire area of District 14 is unplanned, and its inhabitants have constructed their own houses in their private land lots. Land grabbing has been occurring around hill slope and mountainous areas since about 5-10 years ago, and in some areas, land lots have been grabbed illegally by people of power. Conversion from farmlands to residential land lots has been progressing for the past 5-10 years.

The most serious problem is the lack of employment opportunities, and many residents have lost their property during the civil war and they remain poor.

(6) Infrastructure

The district area is only partly supplied with piped water and grid electricity. Some 60% of the residents have access to electricity. Human wastes are disposed of locally as in rural areas.


35

The road density is low typical of rural areas, and the density of major roads is the lowest of all the districts except three outer districts newly annexed to the city. All the main and secondary roads need repair as they were damaged during the civil war.

District 14 has no hospital and 10 public clinics. There are 19 primary/secondary schools and 14 high schools (13 for boys but only one for girls) in the district.

Most residents use wells and the quality of water is very good. District 14 has its own cleaning team consisting of one sanitary vehicle and 11 staff members, and they collect solid wastes and dispose them in the outskirts of Paghman. The drainage system is relatively good in Paghman, and the district uses the water in drains for cleaning streets.

The district has a large park and greenery area. There are some green areas that belong to former kings of Afghanistan.


No urban development is planned in District 14 by the Kabul municipality. As the district is part of watershed area of the Maidan river, a major tributary of the Kabul River, a conservation plan would need to be prepared as part of the KMA master plan. Development may be limited to agriculture and limited recreational activities.

3.2.15 District 15

(1) Location

District 15 is located in the north central part of the city bordered to the north by hills separating the city from the Dehsabz district. The urban area continues from District 11 in the western part and from District 4 in the southwest. The eastern part is occupied by the Kabul international airport. The district borders District 10 to the south, District 9 to the southeast and District 18 to the east beyond the airport.

(2) Land use

Of the total land area of 32.1km2, the airport occupies 678ha or 21.1%. Urban areas account for 33.2%, agricultural land 7.5%, and vacant or bare land 33.0%. Rainfed agriculture and grape production are practiced in the agricultural land. The large vacant or bare land is due to the hills in the north and the land owned by the Government such as the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Defense. A commercial area for automobile sales is found in the north next to vacant land.


Planned residential quarters are located in the west, continued from Districts 4 and 11. In the northern and the eastern neighbors of the planned areas, unplanned residential areas have developed. In the further east, a private housing development exists. A bus terminal is located in the south of this area.

Some 10 unplanned residential communities developed their own deep wells (60-80m deep) that provide water to about 100 houses per well by a 1km-long pipeline. These communities share the water with fees.

An informal settlement of some 1,500 houses occupies the eastern area of the runway in the airport compound, where some army facilities also exist. The east of the airport is agricultural land for grapevines, which continue into District 18. Another unplanned residential area exists in the north next to an unused construction plant. The total number of housing units in unplanned areas is estimated to be 30,000. Next to this area are houses for the disabled established by the support of Arabic fund. The development of vacant government land in this area for housing is planned by MUDA with financial support from UAE.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, construction, and services are 10-15%,


36

20-30%, and 50%, respectively. The services employment consists of government employees, shopkeepers and other private employment.


The district office has a meeting with 29 Wakils every 15 days to discuss communities’ problems. Moreover, the communities are willing to support projects implemented by the district office. There are two kinds of councils: Wakil council and Tawhid residents’ council.

Communities have been involved in several projects, including a school project for which land has been donated by a resident and the district office and the Ministry of Education have constructed the school building, a road project in which streets have been asphalted by labor support from the residents, and tree planting projects.


The area on the northwestern corner (Area 1) of the district is a hill slope and mountainous area, and most residents in the area have come from other provinces after the interim government was established. A new city was developed at the central part in the north (Area 2), named Global City by a private developer, but the municipality has not recognized it as an official development and the dispute remains unsettled.

The housing units in the easternmost area (Area 3) and toward the southwestern end (Area 4) of the district were built on private lands over 20 years ago, but not following the Kabul municipal building code. The land in the immediate neighbor (Area 5) of the latter and the two adjacent areas in the north (Area 6) were grabbed by governmental authorities after the establishment of interim government.

Community cohesion has been observed, and cooperation among the residents is very strong. However, for most immigrant residents are day wage laborers, the main problem in the district is low income.

(6) Infrastructure

The city water supply is available only in 80% of planned areas and 20% of unplanned areas. Most houses have water tanks that are filled typically twice a week. People in unplanned areas use deep groundwater by either common or individual wells. In several communities in low land areas suffering from soil salinity, water is supplied from unplanned communities on hillside with fees. Human wastes are disposed of locally often in ditches. Few people use septic tanks.

Electricity from the grid is supplied to planned areas and some unplanned areas in lowland. No grid electricity is available in unplanned areas on hills. Some people have their own generators. Use of kerosene is common.

The road density in District 15 is among the lowest in all the districts except outer districts newly established as the airport occupies a large area. The density of major roads, however, is on the average level of these districts.

The district has no hospital but four medical clinics. One clinic is specialized in pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology. There are seven primary/secondary schools and six high schools (five for boys and one for girls) in the district. There exists no park in the district.


Planned and unplanned residential areas are mixed in the marginal land in and around the airport. The land owned by the Government is underutilized.

A major issue in the district is groundwater of poor quality. The water quality is low because the area used to be a low-lying lake that dried up leaving saline soil and groundwater. This water problem, however, has led unplanned communities to cooperate in sharing the limited water.


37

The district office considers low income as the main problem. The district still has land of good quality for further development according to the district office.

3.2.16 District 16

(1) Location

District 16 extends from the city center in the west toward the agricultural areas in the east. The Kabul River makes the boundaries with District 9 in the north. In the southwest, hills separate the district from District 8, while the agricultural land continues from District 8 along the Logar River constituting the eastern boundaries with District 12.

(2) Land use

District 16 has a land area of 25.2km2, of which 37.1% is urbanized. The Macrorayon housing complex occupies 40.9ha at the west end of the district. Agricultural land occupies 33.2%, consisting of irrigated crop production area (73.1% of the agricultural land) and orchards (26.6%). Vacant or bare land accounts for 24.1% of the district land due mainly to hills in the southwest.

Agricultural land still remains mainly in the eastern part of the district. Some vacant land is flat land that is left unused due to water shortages. A new east-west artery road, 60km in length, is constructed through the center of the district, and the land use along the road has been changing. There are two ministries in the district: the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Labor.


In the east of the Macrorayon housing complex, an unplanned residential area extends on the right bank of the Kabul River. The northern part of the unplanned area is mostly for housing, while the southern part is mixed with commercial uses having multi-story buildings. The new artery road under construction will serve the Qala Taranjan suburban development project. In the eastern part, the Qulilai-za-Markhan housing project is planned by a Turkish company with 8,000 plots.

In the agricultural areas of the district, Pashtun people lived originally in villages such as Alo Kel. As informal urbanization has proceeded from the west to the east, other people have mixed with the Pashtun people.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and services are 50%, 5%, 20%, and 25%, respectively. There are a beverage manufacturing factory, furniture producer and an industrial city in the district. Farming is very active, producing wheat, onion and other vegetables.


There are four kinds of councils: Wakil council, Dehkhodad residents council, Nawabad Dehkhodad council, and Ghale residents council. These councils always participate in the public cleaning activity arranged by the district office. Moreover, they encourage community members to attend the activity. The roles of councils include: to cooperate each other to solve problems for the residents, to coordinate with governmental entities if necessary, and to distribute food for poor residents in the district.


The area near the northeastern corner (Area 1) of the district, Ghale Ali Khail, has been inhabited since 20 years ago. The land in the area near the southeastern border (Area 2) has been allocated by the Prime Minister to immigrants from Bamiyan, Soltan Ali Keshtmand since over 20 years ago. However, the municipality considers the lands as illegally grabbed. A large area near the western end (Area 3) of the district has been developed by land grabbers since the interim government was established.

The residents in these areas have difficulty in finding jobs in the district. The level of community


38

cooperation is fairly high in the areas.

(6) Infrastructure

No city water is supplied to District 16. People use shallow groundwater by either common or individual wells. The Macrorayon housing complex has its own water supply and septic tank systems. In other areas, human wastes are disposed of locally, some being collected for fees and applied to agricultural fields.

The grid electricity is supplied to 60 to 70% of the area. Kerosene lamps are commonly used. Gas is used for heating. The road density is on the average level of districts just outside the city center. Main roads have been damaged and not asphalt paved.

No public hospital or clinic exists, and two private clinics are available in the district. There are 12 primary/secondary schools and five high schools in the district.

The municipality dispatches 118 cleaning staff and three sanitary vehicles. Approximately 70% of garbage is collected and is transported to Gazak, but 30% of it is remaining on the streets.

Some old parks have been rehabilitated: one in Ghale Zaman Khan and two in Macrorayon.


Urbanization pressure from the west is mounting on the agricultural areas in the east. As the access from the city center is improved by the new artery road, the remaining agricultural land becomes subject to informal urbanization. The area along the Logar River should be protected from urbanization as it is a recharging area for the Logar aquifer.

The Kabul municipality has started to develop Ghale Zaman Khan as a new city, and another major construction project by the name of Alborz is also in progress

3.2.17 District 17

(1) Location

District 17 is located in the northwestern part of the city along the national highway no.2 leading to Mazari-sharif. Its territory is largely outside the upper Kabul basin but in the Shakar Dara district located in the upstream of the Panjshir basin. It is separated by hills from District 11 in the east and District 14 in the west. Only the national highway links the district with the rest of the city, but the suburbanization from the city toward the northwest is proceeding along the highway.

(2) Land use

The district has the large area of 56.0km2, but 72.0% of the territory is vacant or bare land due to hills and mountains. Urban areas account only for 16.7% and agricultural land 9.5% of the district land. The agricultural land, located mainly in the north, is used almost exclusively (91.6%) for rainfed crop production. The Agricultural Institution of MAIL is located at the southern end. Other public facilities such as graveyards and power sub-station are also located in the southern area.

Commercial areas have been developing rapidly along the national highway with many informal shops partly relocating from the city center. Also, automobile markets have developed along the highway with the permission by the Municipality. A new bus terminal locates at the beginning of the national highway.


A small planned residential area exists at the southern end of the district. In the north of the area, there are old informal houses developed 80-100 years ago. An unplanned residential area in the middle of the district is about 20 years old. Also in the middle of the district, another residential area is developed formally by MUDA. A farmers’ town is developing in the north.


39

The majority of people in the district are Tajik from northern provinces. Many people have moved from the city center recently, and more city people are interested in lands and houses in the district.

Of the district workers, 20% engage in manufacturing such as liquid gas production and oil reserves processing, and 40% is governmental staff or daily wageworkers. Many car dealers exist in the district.

One of the city gates is located in the district, where taxes are imposed on the materials and products transported from other countries, and they constitute the main revenue of the district.


There are four kinds of councils: Wakils council, mostazafin council, Kotal residents council, and disables union. The residents had a plan to implement a tree-planting project that has yet to be implemented.


The area along National Highway 2 started to develop about 5-10 years ago and it has been expanding further in the neighborhood (Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4). The increasing population and the lack of area plan by the municipality have resulted in land grabbing in the area. After the establishment of the interim government, many returnees from Iran and Pakistan have settled in the area toward the northwestern corner (Area 5) of the district.

The access to employment opportunities is limited in these areas, and many residents are governmental staff earning low income. Another serious problem observed these days is an issue related to land ownership documents.

(6) Infrastructure

No city water is supplied in District 17. People use groundwater by either common or individual wells, or purchase water in tanks. Human wastes are disposed of locally into small ditches to dry up.

Grid electricity is available for 70% of the residents. Rich people have their own generators, of which some supply electricity to respective neighbors. Some others organize themselves for the purchase and maintenance of common generators. Gas and fuel wood are used for heating and cooking.

The densities of all the roads and major roads are the second lowest in District 17 next only to District 14 among all the districts except outer districts. The southern entrance of the national highway going to the north is the only major road serving the district.

There is no hospital but two public clinics in the district, except illegal private clinics with pharmacies. Most patients go to hospitals in the city center. There are seven primary/secondary schools and five high schools (three for boys and two for girls) in the district. About a half of the schools have some problems such as three-shift operation.

The municipality dispatches 90 cleaning staff and two sanitary vehicles to work in the district, and 50% of garbage is collected.


The district has been experiencing most disorderly urbanization in recent years along the national highway because of good access from the city center. There is only one small planned residential area at the southern end of the district. The district office is having difficulty in controlling illegal building construction and street shops.

Once the new city is developed in Dehsabz, the land value will increase in the district and the structure of the district will change.


40

3.2.18 District 18

(1) Location

District 18 is located in the Dehsabz district on the western side of Bagram Road. Together with District 19 on the other side of the road, it constitutes the expansion area of the Kabul city urbanization proceeding from District 9 in the south. The district encompasses most rural settlements developed earlier with agriculture, including the old capital of the Dehsabz district, Tara Khel.

(2) Land use

District 18 has a land area of 33.9km2, of which 19.4% is classified as urban area or non-agricultural development area. Of the total area under this class, 93.7% or 6.2km2 is of low density. It is in fact a semi-urban area. Agricultural land occupies 1,362ha or 40.2% of the district land. Orchards, mostly grapevines, account for 58.2% of the agricultural land, and the rest is used for rainfed agriculture due to insufficiency of water conveyed from the Kabul city center by drainage canal. Vacant or bare land accounts for 29.2% of the district land due to hills, and additional 7.9% is gullied area.

The district land is generally flat and clay desert. Clay is used for brick kilns located along Bagram Road. Limited grassland or pasture exists to support nomads.


Three Pashtun villages exist close to Bagram Road: Zarrin Kala, Mir Alam and Tara Khel. A Tajik village of Bakhtiaran is located in the middle east of the district. A new Hazara town locates near the Shazara hill in the southeast of the district. The Paymonar new town project is planned with 6,000 lots on 380ha at the southeastern corner of the district.

Most villagers are original inhabitants in respective settlements. Pashtun people are dominant, but Tajik and Hazara are also mixed. There are few nomads as grassland or pasture is limited. While agriculture is the traditional activities, many people now commute to the city center.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and services are 80%, 10%, 5%, and 5%, respectively. A raisin producing company is located in the Dehsabz area and exports raisin to neighboring countries.


The district office was newly established in 2005, and most administrative issues are handled by the provincial administration in Dehsabz. The Wakil council and communities have no communication with the district office. Moreover, the police department is not cooperative, and the Dehsabz district office tends to ignore the district office of the Kabul municipality.


Four informal housing areas extend along the district borders (Areas 1, 2, 3 and 4). They belong to the original residents who have been there for over 20 years. A new city has developed in the northern central portion (Area 5) of the district, which has been approved by the MoUD but not by the municipality that considers it as a case of land grabbing. Another informal housing area along the eastern border (Area 6) is mostly farmlands, and land grabbing has been happening for over 20 years. Those land grabbers have claimed land ownership producing fake documents. Some residents in this area use their land for agricultural purposes and pay the tax. In addition, there are two residential construction projects in progress albeit unofficial.

(6) Infrastructure

District 18 is rural with some semi-urban communities. Water supply relies on local groundwater for drinking and drainage water conveyed from the Kabul city by a canal for irrigation. The residents suffer from chronicle water shortages, and in some areas, the quality of water is very low.


41

Approximately 20 % of the groundwater sources produce salty water. The district has no electricity supply from the grid. Most residents rely on generators.

The densities of all the roads and major roads are lower than the averages in the city. The main roads are asphalt paved but secondary roads are mostly rural and unpaved.

There are three primary/secondary schools and three high schools (two for boys and one for girls) in this district. Two public clinics are found in the district. The municipality has transferred all the cleaning personnel and a vehicle to the district.


District 18 was annexed to the Kabul municipality in 2006, but there still exist administrative disputes between the Dehsabz district and the municipality. The settlements in the district are only semi-urban, and the urban administration may not be appropriate to serve the residents. Traditional communities of old settlements are undergoing changes as more people have moved in and the urbanization pressure from the city center increases.

Water shortages are becoming increasingly serious at most settlements. This is due to both the increasing demand for water and the decreasing availability of water conveyed by the drainage canal from the city center.

The district office considers an industrial park promising for creating employment opportunities. They also believe that the new city development in Dehsabz will change the district from a periphery area to a city area. Moreover, grape gardens may be developed along the raisin factories in the district.

3.2.19 District 19

(1) Location

District 19 is located in the northeastern corner of the Kabul city on the eastern side of Bagram Road. It constitutes an expansion area for Kabul urbanization proceeding from the south along Bagram Road. The district borders on District 18 in the west beyond Bagram Road and District 9 in the southwest. The Kabul River flows in the south making boundaries with District 12 and District 21 in the south. Jalalabad Road extends along the Kabul River as the main east-west artery road for the Kabul city.

(2) Land use

District 19 has a land area of 141.4km2, the second largest of all the districts in the Kabul city next only to District 20. Urban area or non-agricultural development area covers 8.1% of the district land, but 97.0% of it is low-density area. This in fact represents area of rural settlements. Agricultural land is identified in 716ha, consisting of 541 rainfed crop production area, 175ha orchards and the rest. Most rainfed agricultural area is actually not cultivated due to limited water availability. Most orchards are irrigated by spring water to produce a variety of fruits. Vacant or bare land covers 77.4% of the district land, consisting of clay desert, hills in the south and mountains in the east.

A large area in the south is used by the Afghan Army. There is a gas factory base also in the south. Many small brick kilns exist. The large brick factory in the south is not operational at present. Some factories are located in the southern part, spilled over from the industrial area in District 9. A bus terminal is planned in the east along Jalalabad Road but the plan is facing land disputes.


Many villages exist at the foot of the mountains in the east where water is more available due to springs. The residents in these villages produce a variety of fruits for self-consumption, sales at markets in Kabul and export to Pakistan. Though they also produce wheat and other crops under rainfed conditions, those crops’ production is constrained by limited rainfalls. Other than these settlements and agricultural areas, the land in District 19 is idle. Many residential developments are planned along Bagram Road but suspended due to the new city development.


42

The people in the district are 70% Pashtun and 30% Tajik who are the original residents in the area. There exist some informal settlements along Jalalabad Road. Nomads used to stay in the northern part, some of who have settled in the district.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture, manufacturing and services are 50%, 20%, and 30%, respectively. There are six large liquid gas production companies, one thermal electrical power station and brick production companies.


There are two kinds of councils: ‘Kabul residents council’ and labor union. The district office was newly established in 2005, and most administrative issues are handled by the provincial administration. Wakils and communities are working under the coordination of the provincial administration of Dehsabz. There is no regular meeting between the district office and communities.


The area in the south of the district along the border (Area 1) with the Afghan Army drill ground and the area near the southeastern border (Area 2) belong to the original inhabitants. The inhabitants in the latter area settled in over 20 years ago, and the inhabitants in the former area started to settle 10-20 years ago. The informal housing areas lack grid electricity, public transportation, mosque and college. Most residents are farmers.

(6) Infrastructure

District 19 is rural and no piped water is supplied, and most residents use wells. Villagers obtain water from snowmelt and springs. There is no electricity supply from the grid except for some 1,000 houses in the Pole-Charkhi area along Jalalabad Road. Human wastes are disposed of locally. Side ditches are in good conditions. Some villages have generators.

Paved or improved gravel roads extend from Bagram Road into the interior to serve villages, but the road density is the third lowest of all the districts. Kabul-Jalalabad and Kabul-Bagram road segments are in good conditions. Bridges in Pole- Charkhi need repair.

The district has only one public clinic without a doctor. There is a primary/secondary school in every few villages for a total of eight schools. One high school of Army Academy also exists.

In the district, there are 23 cleaning personnel with two sanitary vehicles, and they collect solid wastes and transport to Gazak.


District 19 was annexed to the Kabul municipality in 2006, but there still exist administrative disputes between the Dehsabz district and the municipality. DCDA plans to establish a greenbelt at the foot of the mountains in the east by effectively utilizing the existing villages there. It is expected to improve water availability by rehabilitating karez systems and installing small reservoirs. Increased greenery is expected to help moderate flush floods and gully erosion that may otherwise affect the new city.

The district office considers that agriculture may become the main income source of the residents if investments are made to enhance its productivity.

3.2.20 District 20

(1) Location

District 20 is the southern-most district of the Kabul city. It occupies largely the area between the upper Kabul and the middle Logar Rivers in the eastern part of the Char Asiab district. It is separated by hills from District 6 and District 7 in the northwest. It also shares short segments of the borders with District 8 in the north and District 22 in the northeast, respectively.


43

(2) Land use

District 20 has the largest land area of all the districts in the Kabul city with 143.6km2. Its urban area accounts only for 4.1% of the district land, of which 85.4% is of low density.

Agricultural land covers 17.7%, of which 77.6% is under irrigated crop production, 20.8% is for orchards and the rest for rainfed agriculture. Irrigated agriculture is practiced in the flat land between hills where water availability and soil conditions are better to produce vegetables and fruits.

Vacant or bare land covers 71.1% of the district land, which include hills surrounding the district and large flat and unproductive clay desert in the south. A new market with a truck depot is developed around the Char Asiab village. An airport was once planned in the flat land in the south and studied by CIDA.


The district is still dominantly rural with many small villages even in the southern clay desert. More organized settlements are found in the north between hills, including the district capital of Qaleh-ye Na’im and the Chahr Asiab village. A new town is developed by the private sector near the northern border next to the Chahr Asiab village. Another satellite town of Chehel Dukhtaran is developed in the middle along Logar Road for 10,000 housing units. There is also an informal refugee camp with some 3,000 tents nearby.

The residents in the original villages are 80% Pashtun and 20% Tajik. Nomad people stay in the flat clay desert in the south.

Agriculture is very active in the district and approximately 70,000 farming households are located. The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture and services are 70% and 30%, respectively. The service employment consists of 25% governmental services and 5% other private services.


The district office was newly established in 2004, and most administrative issues are handled by the provincial administration for Chahr Asiab. Wakils and communities are more familiar with the provincial administration. Thus a small number of Wakils or people cooperate with the district office, and others are not cooperative.


The entire district land is unplanned except Chehel Dukhtaran. Most housing areas have been established a long time ago, and the original inhabitants own the houses. Many returnees have come back from Pakistan after the establishment of the interim government, and the district population started to increase rapidly.

(6) Infrastructure

No city water supply is available in District 20. People use groundwater by either common or individual wells. Some common wells are provided by an NGO and a donor. As those wells are always uncovered, the water is easily contaminated. Human wastes are disposed of locally including application to agricultural fields.

Power supply used to be available before the civil war, but now no electricity is supplied from the grid. Most residents use private generators. Some generators are installed by wealthy residents and shared by the respective neighbors for fees. Roadside drains have been provided by the support of Care International. Though the district is served by Logar Road, the improved road network covers only the northeastern part and the overall road density is low.

The district has one hospital and one public clinic only. Most residents go to the city center or even to the Logar province for health services. There are eight primary/secondary schools and two high schools, of which one is for girls.


44

The municipality dispatches 20 cleaning personnel and one sanitary vehicle every 15 days. The amount of solid wastes is small, but some residents also dispose of garbage into dried wells.


District 20 was recently established and its administration started to operate in 2004. Of the five outer districts newly established, the progress of structuring Gozar/Wakil system from the Malik (village head) system is the slowest in District 20. Villagers tend to rely on the provincial administration rather than the city administration. This situation would make it difficult to effect urban administration and conserve agriculture in the district.

The district office considers agriculture to be promising for further development in the district, but agricultural land is lacking and sub-divided.

The Chehel Dukhtaran project was approved and designed approximately 25 years ago. According to its detailed plan, the project will provide 1,200 multi-storey housing units, markets, universities, cemeteries, and other public facilities. The plan was prepared to accommodate the increasing Kabul population in a new city. The project faced serious land acquisition problems. Some land has been acquired but due to budgetary deficits, the project has been stopped. For land acquisition, the government purchased 2,000m2 at US$8,900 and sold the plots to people at US$260,000. The project consists of 85,000 land plots, and 5,500 land plots have been distributed to the disabled by the Presidential decree, and 15,000 plots of land have been distributed to government employees.

3.2.21 District 21

(1) Location

District 21 is located in the eastern most part of the Kabul city. The western half of the district is mountainous. The Kabul River separates the district from District 19 in the north. A small tributary of the Kabul River constitutes the western border of the district from District 12. Bagrami Road marks the southern border of the district and the city.

(2) Land use

The district has a land area of 63.9km2, of which 88.1% is classified as vacant or bare land. This consists of the mountainous area in the east and unproductive flat land in most of the remaining land. Additional 7.2% is rock outcropped land. Low density developed land occupies only 1.5% of the district land. Agricultural land is identified only in 2.7% of the land, which is practically all rainfed agricultural land.


No sizable villages exist in the district, and nomadic people (Kuchis) stay in small numbers. Most residents commute to the city by bus. The original villagers are Pashtun and Tajik.

Recently, the number of Kuchis has been increasing in the district, and some of them have farmlands to produce crops for their immediate needs.


Wakil Shura cooperates with the district office for solving problems in the district. For instance, the Shura supports to collect garbage from the Kuchis area and transport to Gazag. Also the district office maintains good communication with Kuchis to resolve their issues.


The original inhabitants live in the areas along the western border (Area 1) and the southern border (Area 2) of the district, and they started to expand in the grabbed land about 10-20 years ago. The issue of nomads is serious in the district. For example, a group of nomads led by Haji Jannat Gol grabbed land in the district in recent five years, and the President issued an order to permit them to


45

claim ownership to their land. The municipality, however, has not approved their land ownership yet. Some nomads have sold their land illegally to other people for their benefits.

(6) Infrastructure

The residents and nomads in District 21 rely on local groundwater for drinking. Care International supported to dig 110 wells, and the residents rely on the NGO for further support. No electricity is available. The road density is the lowest of all the districts. There is only one improved road serving the western interior of the district.

Human wastes are disposed of locally. However, due to the sparse population, the problem has not been brought to attention.

The district has only one clinic and no hospital. There are 10 high schools with dormitories that provide the students with three meals a day.


The district land is 100% owned by the Government, but illegal housing is already increasing. Cooperation with other administrative units has yet to be established for effective planning and implementation of development.

3.2.22 District 22

(1) Location

District 22 is located in the southeastern peripheries of the Kabul city. It occupies the right bank of the Logar River that marks the border with District 8. The mountains in the southeast separate the district from the neighboring districts of Mosahi and Khaki Jabar. The district constitutes part of the Bagrami district together with the neighboring city districts. Bagrami Road passes through the northern border with District 12 to the north.

(2) Land use

Of the district land of 79.0km2, only 6.5% is urban area or non-agricultural developed area. Of the urban area, 82.8% is of low density. Agricultural land occupies 24.6% of the district land, consisting of 59.3% irrigated agriculture, 13.2% rainfed agriculture and 27.4% orchards. Vacant or bare land accounts for 62.2% largely due to mountainous areas. Additionally, 6.3% is rock outcropped area. The district is almost entirely rural with many small villages mostly along the Logar River.


There exist several villages in the irrigated agricultural fields along the Logar River. In the village of Kaleii Mohamad Mohsen, 500-600 houses are estimated to exist. In the Hosei Khel/Kowtah-ye area, there may be some 700 houses. At the foot of the mountains, a few smaller villages are found.

A new residential area for 1,592 houses extends from the Qala Taranjan project area in District 12, planned by the municipality in the eastern side along Bagrami Road. Another extension of residential area development is ongoing in the western side along Bagrami Road, also from District 12. Pashtun and Tajik are the dominant peoples.

The percentages of district workers engaged in agriculture and other private or governmental jobs are about 30% and 70%, respectively.


There are two kinds of councils in the district: Wakil council and local council. The district office does not meet with them regularly but has support from these councils depending on their needs. For example, the communities cooperate in collecting garbage from the streets.


46


Most original inhabitants live in the area from the northeastern end to the northwestern end (Area 1) of the district. They started to settle there 10-20 years ago. The small area further inland in the north (Area 2) has been developed for the past five years by the Bagrami project. This is a governmental project and its housing construction work is underway. The district office does not note any residents’ problem. Law and order are well maintained in the district.

(6) Infrastructure

No city water is supplied in District 22. People use local groundwater by either common or individual wells. Water quality is good. Human wastes are disposed of locally in house compounds and ditches or applied to agricultural fields.

No electricity is supplied from the grid. Though the road density is relatively high for a rural district, practically no improved road serves the district.

The district has three medical clinics, including one public clinic with a medical assistant but no doctor. Seven primary/secondary schools and 12 high schools (11 for boys and one for girls) exist in the district. The number of schools has increased significantly in recent years to accommodate the increasing population. The municipality has transferred cleaning personnel to other districts, but at present, no cleaning personnel are available for the district.


The district was newly established and its administration started in 2006. The progress of structuring of Gozar/Wakir is very slow since the area is still rural and the population is small. There are some informal settlements along the Logar River.

The irrigated agricultural area along the Logar River serves to recharge lower Logar aquifers. Urbanization into this area may undermine the groundwater quality and quantity. The planned outer ring road of the Kabul city, which may pass through the mountainside of the district, is expected to change the habitation patterns of the district as a whole. It is better that new residential developments be guided to areas along the road while the irrigated agricultural land be protected.

CHAPTER 4 DIRECTIONS FOR URBAN LIVING ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT

IN KABUL CITY

4.1 Strategy for Urban Living Environment Improvement in the Kabul City

4.1.1 KMA master plan – the point of departure

The master plan for urban development of the Kabul metropolitan area (KMA) has proposed the following.

(1) The KMA urban development will be pursued under the four planning concepts: 1) diversified socio-economic activities, 2) complementary relationships between urban and rural areas, 3) recycle-oriented eco-city, and 4) cultural city.

(2) Diversified socio-economic activities are reflected in urban spaces for mixed uses and allocation of various socio-economic functions between the Kabul city and the new city and between enclave type urban areas separated by hills and the Kabul River. These urban areas will be linked by the Kabul city outer ring road (KCORR) and other transport links between the Kabul city and the new city for mutually complementary development.

(3) Complementary relationships between urban and rural areas are reflected in planning for water and related land development and uses based on water balance. In the Kabul city, existing agricultural land will be protected in principle to ensure urban greenery, water infiltration to recharge groundwater, and disaster management. In the new city, existing villages will be improved for water retention capacity to slow the water discharge during snow melt and mitigate gully erosion so that the newly urbanized areas will be better protected. Semi-rural land use within the respective urban areas is positively evaluated.

(4) Recycle-oriented eco-city is reflected in various measures proposed particularly in the new city to realize resource-recycling urban areas. Specific measures include on-site treatment of sewage and human wastes, re-use of treated sewage, water retention and infiltration areas, and low density urbanization with plenty of greenery. Use of renewable energy such as solar, wind and mini-hydro is also encouraged.

(5) Cultural city is reflected in various measures to realize open urban societies for international trade and tourism as well as cultural diversity. Specific measures include restoration and use of urban and architectural heritages, provision of facilities for cultural communications and international tourism, and establishment of high-grade social services for residents and visitors such as advanced research and education and specialized health care.

(6) To go against the 20th century urbanization that caused various social and environmental problems in both mega cities and secondary cities, Kabul urbanization will pursue a model of 21st century urbanization substantiating these four concepts.

4.1.2 Basic strategy for Kabul city urban development according to the KMA master plan

The basic strategy for urban development of the Kabul city is to realize the urban structure prescribed by the KMA master plan. It consists of the following:

1) Formulating in each enclave type urban space mixed use residential areas self-sufficient in daily urban functions respectively

2) Linking these enclave type urban spaces in the Kabul city and the new city by effective transport network to realize their complementary development and provide higher-order urban functions collectively

3) Identifying those informal housing areas in the Kabul city to be relocated and incorporating their relocation into social and affordable housing in the new city

4) Formalizing in steps other informal housing areas by participatory approach


48

4.1.3 Specific strategies for Kabul urban development under the basic strategy

Under the basic strategy established above, specific strategies will be taken as follows.

(1) Creation of high-grade urban spaces in the Kabul city center by: - Improvement of roads and drainage, - Establishment of sufficient greenery and open spaces, - Relocation of some public facilities to the new city and re-development of the land made

available by the relocation, and - Restoration and use of urban and architectural heritages.

(2) Growth areas development in suburbs by: - Construction of facilities for urban functions designated for each growth area such as

logistic and commercial facilities, industrial estates, recreational and other facilities, and - Realization of mixed-use urban areas by residential development of surrounding areas

respectively.

(3) Transport infrastructure development including: - Construction of KCORR, - Construction of other roads and bridges to improve links between enclave type urban spaces,

and - Strengthening of artery roads linked with the new city and introduction of new public

transport system.

(4) Identification of informal housing areas to be relocated to the new city based on: - Vulnerability to disasters, - Serious health effects in and around the areas, - Excessive costs to provide social services, and - Adverse effects on urban landscape.

(5) Formalization of informal housing areas through: - Planning for community development by participatory approach, - Establishment of implementing arrangements both in the Kabul municipality and at the

community level, and - Step-wise improvement of living environment.

4.1.4 Revised Kabul city master plan

(1) Revised Kabul city master plan as a tool for urban land use control

The revised Kabul city master plan is at the final stage of preparation, supported by the JICA technical cooperation. It will provide an important tool to introduce the new urban land use control system to guide the urban living environment improvement by citizens and private developers rather than the direct provision of developed land by the government as conventionally done. To effect the control, the revised Kabul city master plan provides a new type of master plan and a zoning plan.

The master plan provides the future vision of the city with an indicative land use plan showing the urban structure in terms of urban nodes, transport infrastructure and distribution of various land uses including urban parks and greenery. Citizens and other entities practicing urban development and urban use activities are expected to share the vision embodied in the master plan. The master plan should also indicate the distribution of both daytime and nighttime population and the main urban facilities in different areas of the city to be realized within the time frame to guide the development of various infrastructure facilities.

The zoning plan provides information on regulations applicable to different parts of the Kabul city with respect to types of land development and use, physical restrictions such as building height and volume, and other social and environmental regulations. The zoning plan is legally binding and restricts the right of landowners so that any changes by developments and uses will contribute to the realization of the future vision indicated by the master plan.


49

(2) Planned urban development with the revised Kabul city master plan

Planned urban living environment improvement in the Kabul city should be promoted by utilizing the revised Kabul city master plan, while the urban development by the conventional system will continue to be used in parallel with some improvements. For the former, more detailed zoning maps should be prepared for specific areas within the framework of the zoning plan. The zoning plan will allow the immediate control of vast unplanned areas, where a neighborhood plan should be prepared as the first step. As part of the neighborhood planning, the land for public purposes should be secured. The planning naturally calls for participation and agreement of respective local communities.

The conventional system of urban land development by the government should remain to be utilized in more effective and efficient manner. The system should be applied to some strategic areas indicated by the revised Kabul city master plan such as key urban nodes or growth areas. This will facilitate the realization of improved urban structure as depicted by the master plan.

(3) Recommendation for new urban planning and management system

Through the preparation of the revised Kabul city master plan, the following are recommended for the establishment of the new urban planning and management system in the Kabul city. The details are presented in the Supplementary Report of the revised Kabul city master plan.

1) Completion of zoning maps in 1:5,000 scale defining the right-of-ways of new roads, and boundaries of key facilities and areas indicated by the master plan

2) Establishment of building/development control system for assessment of applications by citizens and private developers for buildings and developments, depending on building/development types

3) Establishment of neighborhood improvement planning system for informal housing areas based on participatory approach and by neighborhood unit defined by the artery road network

4) Establishment of strategic core development system for provision of public facilities such as government offices, hospitals and other prime social facilities, major parks and greenery by the public sector possibly in cooperation with the private sector through the application of modern financial and management techniques such as PFI, PPP and land readjustment

4.2 Capacity Development for the Kabul Municipality to Improve Urban Living Environment

4.2.1 Possible scope of works for capacity development

The improved urban living environment in the Kabul city under the specific strategies presented above will be realized more effectively by combining the new urban planning and development system and the conventional approach. For both of them, capacity development is necessary for the Kabul municipality. Corresponding to the specific strategies presented above and in line with the recommendation through the revised Kabul city master plan, the capacity development is necessary for the Kabul municipality in the following three aspects:

1) Planning and implementation of urban renewal and growth areas development by conventional approach

2) Guidance and control of private residential development planning and implementation by applying a new urban planning and management system on a trial base

3) Planning and implementation of community development by participatory approach

For each aspect, capacity development will be effected through on-the job training by pilot project planning and implementation combined with training workshops and other training schemes. The scope of works for each aspect is outlined.


50

(1) Urban renewal and growth areas development: 1) Examination of legal requirements related to structure and detailed plans 2) Analysis on departments and sections of the Kabul municipality related to planning 3) Selection of pilot areas in the light of the strategies for Kabul city urban living environment

improvement 4) Preparation of structure plans through collaborative works between the municipal staff and

external experts 5) Preparation of detailed plans and their implementation through the collaborative works

(2) Trial application of new urban planning and management system: 1) Examination of land use zoning by the revised Kabul city master plan and preparation of

specific zoning regulations by neighborhood unit 2) Selection of pilot neighborhood unit for trial application of new zoning regulation 3) Preparation of operating rules for the zoning regulations 4) Evaluation and permit granting for development plans prepared by private developers 5) Monitoring and evaluation of development plan implementation by the private developers

(3) Participatory community development: 1) Selection of pilot informal housing area for participatory community development in the

light of the strategies for Kabul city urban living environment improvement 2) Detailed socio-economic survey on the pilot area 3) Preparation of community development plan through participatory workshops 4) Selection of initial development area based on the development plan 5) Preparation of detailed plan for the initial development area and implementation

The effectiveness of these works depends on the available data on existing conditions that are used to identify needs in different areas and social segments of the Kabul city. At present, detailed and comprehensive data by district are collected regularly and compiled into district passport data, but the quality of the data is rather poor and dubious. Items covered by the district passport data and methods of data collection and compilation should be reviewed as part of the forthcoming technical cooperation for capacity development. It is also important to link the socio-economic data and the spatial data in order to plan for the development. Therefore, the establishment of socio-economic and spatial database should be important part of the forthcoming technical cooperation.

4.2.2 Issues for organizational structure and staff distribution to be addressed for CD

To effect the capacity development through the process outlined above, the following issues related to organizational structure and staff distribution of the Kabul municipality need to be addressed.

(1) Enhancement of planning capacity

The technical staff of the Kabul municipality is capable of design, but the sense and capacity of planning are largely lacking. It is vitally important to strengthen the planning capacity to ensure continual and sustainable development in accordance with the revised Kabul city master plan.

(2) Expansion of development guidance and regulation and architectural control capacity

The capacity of development and construction control needs to be strengthened to support the ever-increasing construction works. This should be complemented with institutional improvement related to procurement and construction procedures.

(3) Improvement of coordination between related sections and with other organizations

Efficient operation of urban services by the Kabul municipality depends on better coordination between related departments and sections within the municipal structure. For instance, the Departments of Construction Control, Procurement, Acquisition, and Land and Property need to coordinate closely for land related works including determination of land prices, land acquisition and land allocation to private developers. Also, the Kabul municipality should have more technical staff specialized in infrastructure development to ensure better


51

coordination with implementing agencies such as AUWSSC.

(4) Improvement of work division and staff distribution

Given the limited overall capacity, the distribution of works and human resources affect the operational efficiency. At present, excessive works tend to concentrate on directors in some departments and sections. Also, the age structure of the municipal staff appears to be biased to senior staff members. Recruitment and training through daily works of young staff members are vitally important for the Kabul municipality to continue serving its citizens.

(5) Improvement of work division and information sharing between the municipal authority and district offices

As part of improving distribution of limited staff members, the work division and staff distribution between the municipal authority and its district offices need to be improved. In addition to regular weekly meetings, opportunities for information sharing between them should be increased.

(6) Strengthening of information functions at district offices

As part of revision of work division, the functions of district offices should be strengthened for planning and implementation of participatory community development. In particular, each district office should have the capacity to collect and manage basic data necessary for the community development planning. Also, a mechanism to ensure coordinated implementation of the participatory development with the revised Kabul city master plan needs to be institutionalized.

(7) Coordination of donors assisted projects

The Departments of Policy and Coordination, and Planning and Implementation should institutionalize a mechanism and venue for coordinating donor assisted projects.


52

CHAPTER 5 PRELIMINARY DISTRICT ASSESSMENT TO SELECT PILOT

DISTRICTS

5.1 Data and Criteria for Assessment

5.1.1 District passports and additional information

As part of the survey on the 22 districts of the Kabul municipality, district passports were collected from all the districts and compiled. Each district passport contains comprehensive data on all the different aspects of respective district, including infrastructure, economic activities and social services. All the district passports adopt the same format and contents, but some data entries are missing in any passport to make the cross sectional comparison difficult. Since the focus of the pilot approach to community development is on informal housing areas, some related data are extracted from the district passport data.

Additional information has been obtained from different districts through a questionnaire survey and follow-up interviews at district offices. Such information, including evolution of informal housing area and community activities, is also used to make qualitative judgments on conditions in districts related to the planned urban development.

5.1.2 Criteria for assessment

The criteria selected for district assessment are as follows:

1) Magnitude of informal housing, 2) Share of informal housing units in total housing units 3) Extent or magnitude of recent development of informal housing 4) Degree of cooperation with communities 5) Overall infrastructure development 6) Overall economic viability 7) Overall level of social services provision 8) Annual local revenue per capita

For the criteria 1), 2) and 8), the district passport data are used. For the criteria 3) and 4), judgments are made based on the hearings from district offices. For the criteria 5), 6) and 7), several indices are selected from the district passports, and composite criteria are defined to assess the overall situations of infrastructure, economy and social services as described below.

(1) Infrastructure

The data on various infrastructure facilities are taken from the district passports. Specific indices selected are the length of roads improved by the Kabul municipality, total road length, number of deep wells, number of water supply points, number of power supply points and amount of garbage collected per month as shown in Table 5.1. Based on these data, the following indices are defined:

1) Road length improved by the Kabul municipality 2) Road length per capita 3) Population per water supply point 4) Population per power supply point 5) Amount of garbage collected per capita

For each criterion, all the districts are classified into three classes as shown in Table 5.2. Then, assessment is made for overall infrastructure availability by judgment as shown also in Table 5.1.

(2) Economy

Data of various economic activities are taken from the district passports including the numbers of private companies, retail shops and of markets as well as individual economic activities. The latter


53

consist of bakeries (representing daily needs of residents), car dealers and auto repair shops (representing primarily suburban activities), and bricks and ceramics dealers (representing semi-rural construction activities). To reflect the agglomeration economy in the assessment, the total numbers are used as indices.

The data and assessment are presented in Table 5.3. For each criterion, all the districts are classified into three classes as shown in Table 5.4. Based on the assessment by each criterion, judgment is made on the overall economic viability of districts as shown also in Table 5.3.

(3) Social services

The data on various social facilities are taken from the district passports as shown in Table 5.5. They are the numbers of kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, high schools for male and female, medical clinics, hospitals and public baths. For each criterion, all the districts are classified into three classes as shown in Table 5.6. Based on the assessment by each criterion, judgment is made on the overall social services provision as shown also in Table 5.5.

5.2 Results of Assessment

All the data and information used for the comparative district assessment are summarized in Table 5.7. The criteria used for the assessment are the number of unplanned housing units, share of unplanned housing units, extent of recent expansion of informal housing, degree of cooperation with local communities, overall infrastructure availability, overall economic viability, overall social services provision, and local annual budget per capita.

Based on the data and information presented in Table 5.7, the 22 districts are rated into three classes by each aspect or criterion. The classification is summarized in Table 5.8 for the eight criteria. For each criterion, rate 1 represents most relevant and rate 3 least as candidates for pilot districts.

A district having the largest number of informal housing units, largest share of informal housing units, rapid expansion of informal housing in recent years, good cooperation with communities, poorest infrastructure, highest economic viability, poorest social services provision, and smallest per capita local budget is most relevant as a candidate pilot district. For the economic viability, the priority is given to districts having highest viability unlike other criteria. This is to reflect the concern to guide the planned urban development to such areas that have higher potentials for cost-effectiveness of public intervention.

Rating of the 22 districts by the eight criteria is summarized in Table 5.9. From the table, the following districts are preliminarily selected for further consideration as candidate districts for pilot participatory community development.

Priority 1: District 5 (score 12) and District 13 (score 12) Priority 2: District 17 (score 13), District 6 (score 14) and District 22 (score 14)

APPENDIX 1: DISTRICT LAND USE MAPS

This appendix presents a current land use map of each district. These maps were prepared by Intercontinental Consultants and Technocrats Pvt. Ltd. (ICT) as part of the work for the Preparation of Development Plan for Kabul City, 2022-23, conducted during 2007-09 under the Kabul Urban Reconstruction Project (KURP) of the Ministry of Urban Development for the Kabul municipality. Areas of informal housing were identified for most districts through the survey undertaken at this time, and delineated on respective district maps.

Appendix 2: District Passport Data

APPENDIX 2: DISTRICT PASSPORT DATA

This appendix presents the district passport data for 2010 of all the 22 districts obtained by the present survey and those for 2008 compiled in the KMA master plan report by the previous JICA study. The data are compiled by category following the compiled 2008 data. The original passport data for 2010 arranged in a Dari alphabetical order have been re-arranged accordingly. The number of items covered by the passport data changed from 240 in 2008 to 254 in 2010 together with adjustment of definitions of some data items. These changes have made it difficult to compare the data for 2008 and 2010.

The district passport data have many problems. Some data are inaccurate and many anomalies are found. Units are misused by some districts and inconsistent between districts such as km2 vs. ha or m3 vs. ton. Categories of housing are not clear and confusing. Changes in the number of education and health facilities appear to be inconsistent, reflecting possibly changes in definition as well as miscounting.

Efforts were made by the CD team to correct the data as much as possible by visiting some districts. Also, the Kabul mayor urged district officers to revise the district data during the presentation of early results of the survey in January 2011. Consequently, nine districts submitted revised passport data in March. Still, all the data have not been made accurate and consistent.

Care should be taken in using the data as reported in this appendix. While the data contained in this appendix are likely to represent the best available data at the district level for most items, additional data sources should be referred to for some items. Compilation of more accurate and consistent data at the district level is a prerequisite for detailed planning for community development in each district to meet various needs in different districts.
