The objective of this study is to evaluate and examine the nature and patterns of urban- rural linkages in Seru town and its hinterlands. Thus, Purposive sampling and stratified sampling technique were used. The site of the study was selected because the woreda is under natural and human pressure.rnPurposively, five rural Kebeles and the town were selected. Totally six Kebeles were selected basedrnon the purposive sample because five rural Kebeles are located 15km radius from the town. From 5rnKebeles sample size was selected based on proportional allocation stratified technique. The totalrnsample household for both areas was 262. The study also used secondary data like books andrnJournals. The collected data was also analyzed in descriptive statistics in terms of frequency, percent,rnmean and median and correlation. The study give due attention to the spatial linkages likernproduction-consumption, marketing linkages(flow of agricultural out put, flow of livestock ) servicerndelivery linkages (education, health and the like), flow of people(migration and visiting pattern) andrnfactors affecting urban and rural linkages. The study found, however, that rural households arernunable to produce surplus production and supply to the market, there is still interaction andrninterdependence between Seru town and its hinterlands. Urban householdsâ€™ survey also depicts thatrnurban residents of Seru town purchase both crop products and livestock from rural farmers. Thernsurvey from trader also reveals that Seru town is collecting and distributing center of grain crops (especially wheat and teff) and livestock (especially goat) and export to bigger cities like Addis Ababa and Adama. There are also migration linkages between two spatial units. But Production,rnService delivery linkage and physical linkages exist between two area are very weak centers.
