Abstract

The precise demographic definition of urbanization is the increasing share of a nation's population living in urban areas (and thus a declining share living in rural areas). Most urbanization is the result of net rural to urban migration. any change to the agricultural land use in these countries requires thoughtful planning to both conserve the land and reduce the risks of undermining the livelihoods of the people. The general objective of this study is to analyse the income effect of farm households in surrounding areas of Bishoftu town. Focusing on to describe socioeconomic characteristics of the farm household in the study area and assess the level of income of household after urban expansion in peri- urban areas of Bishoftu town. Two stage sampling procedure was employed to take sample households in the study area. To analyze the data descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentage was used and OLS model was employed to analyze factors determining income level of farm households. The result reveals that family size, TLU, level of education, Marital status, land holding and size were significant variables that affect the income level of households. It is recommended to strengthen education quality, increase yield of land, rearing more productive animals which supposed to increase farmers income.
