Abstract

Better access to markets and road infrastructure provision has an important role in rural –urban linkages. Countries whose economy is largely based on agriculture; and also experiencing fast pace of urban growth, adequate infrastructure provision and investment are essential elements to enhance rural-urban linkages. Since there is limited access to economic opportunities, in Modjo-Lume areas rural-urban linkages are found very weak. This Study has shown that strong relationship with the availability of physical infrastructure such as roads and markets proofed the enhancement of rural-urban linkages. This study examined the provision of market and road infrastructure as a tool in rural-urban linkages in Modjo-Lume area and, household access to market and road transport facility and their role in the area. The study identified major constraints which are related to road and market infrastructure. On the basis of the findings major recommendations are forwarded as to how all the concerned bodies can play their vital role in improving road infrastructure and market accesses
