Urban structure plan is widely used plan in the process of urbanization and rapid urban spatial expansion. However, rapidly growing urban centers of Ethiopia are facing challenges to implement their structure plan within the time horizon. Thus, this study aims to investigate the determinant factors that hinder structure plan implementation in Nekemte town. Questionnaire survey, interview, observation and land use survey were used to collect data. Descriptive data analysis and regression model were used to analyze the data. The main findings of the study show that all identified factors: lack of active participation, lack commitment, political instability and lack of sufficient budget significantly contribute for the failure of structure plan implementation at P-value of 0.05. The regression analysis further indicated that, lack of community participation; - 0.0499 coefficients is the most determining factors and followed by customary land tenure and lack of awareness -0.0489 and -0.0468 coefficients respectively. Hence, future structure plan implementation endeavors of Nekemte city must be underpinned by inculcating community participation and awareness of structure plan that is required to implement the plan to the expected level. Furthermore, use of modern technology like GIS and appropriate man power are also equally recommended to enhance structure plan implementation of Nekemte city.
城市结构规划是城市化进程和城市空间快速扩张过程中广泛使用的规划。然而，埃塞俄比亚快速发展的城市中心在规定时间内实施其结构规划面临挑战。因此，本研究旨在调查阻碍内克梅特镇结构规划实施的决定性因素。通过问卷调查、访谈、观察和土地利用调查来收集数据。使用描述性数据分析和回归模型对数据进行分析。研究的主要结果表明，所有确定的因素：缺乏积极参与、缺乏承诺、政治不稳定和预算不足，在P值为0.05时，对结构规划实施失败有显著影响。回归分析进一步表明，缺乏社区参与（系数为 -0.0499）是最具决定性的因素，其次是习惯土地保有权和缺乏意识（系数分别为 -0.0489和 -0.0468）。因此，内克梅特市未来实施结构规划的努力必须以灌输社区参与和对实施该规划所需的结构规划的认识为基础，以达到预期水平。此外，还建议使用地理信息系统等现代技术和配备合适的人力，以加强内克梅特市的结构规划实施。
