Introduction This technical user guide is designed as a supplementary document to the Background Information document, providing the technical information and instructions of how to run and edit the model. The model calculates a transformability index based on specific influencing factors (input by user) and determines the cells that should be transformed in three iterations (2015, 2020, 2025). The number of cells being changed at each iteration and the excluded cells are defined by the user. A raster file is produced, indicating settlement area development during the temporal scope. Figure 1 demonstrates a graphical representation of the conceptual model Figure 1 Conceptual model of Addis Ababa Urban dynamics 3. Employed Software: The software that was used in this model is ArcGIS The model is built in the Model builder environment of the software. Some operations in the model require the spatial analyst extension. To run and edit a model, you use the Model builder in ArcMap.

Model Structure The model was built in ARCGIS model builder environment. A general overview of the whole model with its three iterations is shown in Appendix A1. The model consists of the following sections: 1. A Weighted sum operation with input of five different raster files whose values are the influencing factor scores that were calculated based on specific spatial indicators (check background information document). This step produces a raster file that has the transformability index values for the first iteration (2015). The equation used in calculating the transformability is shown in figure 2 Transformability index = Sf+Rp+Cy+Tf+Nh Where SF is the slope influencing factor RP is the road proximity influencing factor Cy is the Centrality Score TF is the land use dynamic score NH is the neighborhood score Figure 2: Weighted overlay equation Figure 3 shows a graphical representation of the first stage model operations where the 5 files are input to the weighted sum operation and <<wtsum1>> output file is produced.

Figure 4 shows a graphical representation of the second stage model operations where wtsum1 is multiplied by excluded areas file to exclude the areas from being processed by the model and producing <<wtsumpot1>> Figure 4 Exclusion of specific Cells (ArcGIS Modelbuilder) 3. Identifying the highest ranking cells with the highest Transformability index: In this step the raster data is converted to vector data (point) with the grid-value added as an attribute to be then sorted descendingly. Figure 5 shows a graphical representation of the third stage model operations where <<wtsumpot1>> is first converted to points producing <<wtsumpt1>> and then sorted descendingly producing <<sumptsort1>>. A field is added to the <<sumptsort>> and calculated with the ranking of each feature. Technical User Guide: Urban spatial scenario design modelling for Addis Ababa 6

7 Figure 5 Ranking the Transformability Index (ArcGIS Modelbuilder) 4. Changing the highest ranking non settlement non excluded cells to settlement cells based on population demand: The population demand is input by the user as the number of settlement cells required in each iteration based on the different scenarios being modeled. The model selects the highest ranking cells that are needed to meet the population demand and changes their state to settlement cells. The vector data is now converted back to raster data producing a raster file with value 1 for settlement cells and value 0 for non-settlement cells. Figure 6 shows a graphical representation of the fourth stage model operations where a field is added to <<sumptsort1>> and expression of 2015 and is input by the user which is the number of required settlement cells in the first iteration. Two parallel select operations are performed to <<sumptsort1>> one for the cells that should not be transformed to settlements producing <<nonresselect1>> and another for the cells that should be transformed to settlements producing <<resselect1>>. A field is added then to both files and calculated with the value of 0 for non settlement cells and 1 for the settlement cells. <<nonresselect1>> and <<resselect1>> are then merge producing <<mergres1>> which will be then converted to raster using the feature to raster operation producing <<mergrast1>>.

Update excluded cells for next iteration: the excluded cells raster file is updated by adding the new settlement areas that were transformed in the iteration to the excluded cells. Figure 7 shows a graphical representation of the fifth stage model operations where <<mergrast1>> is added to the <<excluded_area>> file using a raster calculator operation producing <<exclud22>>. Figure 7 Update exclusion areas (ArcGIS Modelbuilder) 6. Generate new neighborhood influencing factor raster file based on new settlements for next iteration (2020): Neighborhood influencing factor is influenced by the number of settlement cells around each cell. Therefore it is important to update neighborhood raster file after each iteration since there are new settlement areas. Figure 8 shows a graphical representation of the sixth stage model operations where <<mergrast1>> is added to the <<residvalue1>> file using 2 raster calculator operations producing <<residv12>> and <<residv02>> and using a focal statistics operation, the neighborhood values are calculated producing <<focsts2>> whose values are Technical User Guide: Urban spatial scenario design modelling for Addis Ababa 8

Repeat step 1-4 for iteration 2 (2020) and 5-6 for iteration 3 (2025) 8. Repeat steps 1-4 for iteration 3 (2025) 9. Calculate a raster file that includes settlement cells in iterations 1, 2, 3: at the end the model creates a raster file that has the value 0 for non-settlement cells, 1 for the settlement cells in 2011, 2 for the settlements transformed in the first iteration ( ), 3 for the settlements transformed in the second iteration ( ), and 4 for the settlements transformed in the third iteration ( ). This is regarded as the final output of the model. Figure 9 shows a graphical representation of the final stage model operations where <<mergrast1>> and <<mergrast2>> are added to <<residvalue1>> with a factor of 2 and 3 respectively producing <<step2>> which is then added to <<mergrast3>> with a factor of 4 producing the final output of the model <<step3>> Figure 9 Creating future settlement output (ArcGIS Modelbuilder) Technical User Guide: Urban spatial scenario design modelling for Addis Ababa 9

14 Appendix A2 The input file geodatabase on the local drive should contain all impact factors which are represented by the following input files*: Slope A raster file that has the values of slope. Reclassification or normalization is recommended to standardize the weighting sum operation. Name: <<slope>> Road proximity A raster file that has the values of distance to the nearest road infrastructure. Reclassification or normalization is recommended to standardize the weighting sum operation. Name: <<roadprox2>> Centrality A raster file that has the values of distance to the nearest subcenter. Reclassification or normalization is recommended to standardize the weighting sum operation. Name: <<centrality>> Transformability A raster file that has the values of an index that differentiates the probability of a certain UMT/ Landcover to transform to settlements. The UMT/landcover that has higher probability to transform to settlements has a higher transformability value. This factor could be based on the multi temporal analysis or local experts opinion. Normalization or Reclassification is recommended to standardize the weighting sum operation. Name: <<transform>> Neighborhood A raster file that has the values representing the existence of settlement cells in the surrounding of the cell and the magnitude of this existence (surrounded by 100% settlements or 10% settlements). This factor could be created using focal statistics process. Normalization or Reclassification is recommended to standardize the weighting sum operation. This value should be updated after each iteration. Name: <<neighborhood>> Excluded Areas A raster file that has the value of 0 for the cells that are excluded (will not be transformed to settlements) while the cells that could be transformed have value of 1. Exclusion criterion should be based on the scope and objective of the scenario. <<excluded_area>> residvalue1 A raster file that has the value of 0 for the cells that are non settlements and settlements cells have the value of 1. <<residvalue1>>

15 The <<Output geodatabase>>: a file geodatabase (*.gdb) where the intermediate output of the model will be stored. The <<Final geodatabase>>: a file geodatabase (*.gdb) where the final output of the model will be stored. The Population Demand The model is population growth driven and the projected population growth should be input to the model in terms of required settlement cells. The required settlement cells should be input by the user in the model parameters 2015, 2020, These three values change based on the objective of the scenario modeling and depends on several factors (natural population growth, migration rate, relocation of settlements, population density etc) Background information: Urban growth scenario modelling for Addis Ababa 2

16 Appendix A3 1.1 Data preparation Transformability Urban Morphology Types (UMTs) maps are used as input data for these factors. The UMTs were selected when compared to land cover or land use maps as they combine both urban form and function (CLUVA D2.7). UMT maps give detailed information that could be under represented in other administrative or other maps. This is particularly useful in having a robust model that consider different activities done by people in a land cover as UMTs integrate spatial units linking human activities and natural processes (Gill et al., 2008: 211). Urban Morphology Maps for the years 2006 and 2011 were provided by Ethiopian institute of architecture and building construction. The UMT maps were prepared as part of the task 2.7 in CLUVA project. The transformability impact factor represents the geospatial change detection analysis of Addis Ababa s development in the period along with the local experts input through an experts questionnaire that was conducted during a CLUVA workshop. The impact factor is calibrated from the 2006 to 2011 dataset where the UMTs that were transformed to residential UMTs in the period from are considered. The area statistics are used to identify the transformation pattern of particular UMT s to settlements. The pattern is then represented in a transformability score that is attributed to the different UMT s. Figure 1A shows the cell count of 2006 urban morphology types that were transformed to settlements in Background information: Urban growth scenario modelling for Addis Ababa 3

17 Figure 1A 2006 UMT'S transformed to settlements (Source: UMT Maps (CLUVA2.7) The highest cell count that was changed to settlement areas in this period was found to be the field crops followed by the bare land. Other UMT s field has a high cell count score. When investigated, it turned out to be mainly due to the change of UMT 5.1 major roads, offices, education and religious facilities. The reason behind this is believed to be due to the shortcoming g in the preparation of 2006 map and also due to the interaction in between the different urban UMT s that happened in this period. The grassland UMT area is found to be low (rank 6) although it is regarded as highly dynamic UMT based on experts opinion. More investigation on the grassland UMT has shown that the total area of grass land is relatively small (around 500 ha) as compared with Field Crops (14500 ha). Comparing UMT area transformed in 2011 to the total area of this particular UMT in 2006, Grassland came in the third position with around 11 % of its total area transformed to settlements as shown in figure 4. Background information: Urban growth scenario modelling for Addis Ababa 4

18 Figure 2A Transformed UMT cells in 2011 / Total UMT Area Source: UMT Maps (CLUVA2.7) It was planned to have a separate dynamicity impact factor to be added to the model which represent the dynamicity of UMTs and the probability of them being transformed to residential UMTs based on the local experts opinions. However to avoid redundancy and since the opinion of experts matched with the transformability impact factor results, the transformability impact factor was merged with the dynamicity factor which includes both the calibration from and the expert s questionnaire results. The values are then normalized where maximum value is 100 (Bare land) and the minimum value is 0 (other UMTs). Table 1A shows the final Transformability impact factor values.

The road network was classified based on importance into three classes. The classes are the ring road which was recently constructed as an orbital road around the periphery of the central business district, major roads which have varying widths ranging from 30m to 60mand minor streets and roads which include all streets and roads that have lower hierarchy than the other two classes. The road network of Addis Ababa is shown in figure 4A Background information: Urban growth scenario modelling for Addis Ababa 7

21 Figure 4A Road Network of Addis Ababa Using Euclidean distance tool in the spatial analyst toolbox, a proximity analysis was applied which generates a raster file whose grid-values equal to the distance to the nearest road. Figure 5A shows the distance to different road classes in Addis Ababa. Figure 5A Distance to Addis Ababa Road network Background information: Urban growth scenario modelling for Addis Ababa 8

22 A reclassification was then made based on the classification scheme shown in table 3A.

Proximity to ring road, major roads and minor roads and streets classes were 40%, 35% and 25% respectively. Background information: Urban growth scenario modelling for Addis Ababa 9

23 Centrality impact factor The sub-centers data of Addis Ababa was provided by the local African partner university team. Using Euclidean distance tool in the spatial analyst toolbox, a proximity analysis was applied which generates a raster file whose grid-values equal to the distance to the nearest Sub-center. A reclassification was then made based on the classification scheme shown in table 4A. Figure 7A shows the processing steps of the centrality impact factor.

Residential cells (carrying the value of 16) were removed(multiplied to zeron). The neighborhood output raster file weas normalized (: value*100/maximum value) where maximum value is 100 (focal statistics value is 15) and minimum value is 0 ( focal statistics value is 0). The final impact factor values are shown in table 5A and the neighborhood impact factor processing stages are shown in figure 8A.
