Recent global technological developments are bringing Eco-friendly solutions to urban situation where there arernineffective uses of resource and loss of time. While there are local researches that studied housingrndevelopments from angles of open spaces, relocation, job creation and income generation, constructionrntechnology and etc., there are no studies in housing made through ICT and other related supportiverninfrastructures, regarding Homeworking and Learning from Home.rnThis research studies the existing ICT and related technology types and the extent of their usage at threerndifferent condominiums in the city Addis Ababa in relation to e-learning and e-working in order to investigaternthe potential of housings in Addis Ababa to incorporate homeworking and learning from home activities. Thernresearch in general shades light on the potential of housing developments in Addis Ababa in terms of meetingrnthe needs of residents in flexible living, working and schooling conditions.rnThe research employs qualitative and quantitative data simultaneously. All household members from selectedrnblocks are surveyed through interview while sampling of sites, blocks and households is done through randomrnand systematic sampling. Key informant and resident Questioners are conducted through self-enumeration andrnInterviewer-assisted techniques in open and close ended formats. The research questions indicate four mainrnareas: (1) the existing technology types and (2) the extent of their use, (3) favorability of selected housingrndevelopments for e-learning and e-working and (4) the future of housing development in Addis Ababa inrnmeeting the needs of residents in flexible living, working and schooling conditions.rnFindings show, there are high potentials for e-learning and e-working at Enderase, Mickey Leland and BolernArabsa project 15 condominium sites as most of the residents use internet, are computer literate and havernexpressed strong interest to engage in e-working and e-learning activities. Since almost all of the country’srnuniversities are connected through an underground data cable and online education is being conducted atrnuniversity levels, even without internet service, e-learning can be implemented though Ethernet by connectingrnhousing with the universities. The research in general recommended the integration of technologicalrnorganizations and innovation centers of the city during implementation of housing projects to upgrade housingrndevelopments. This furthermore allows residents to be effective and benefit from the global economy. Spatialrnrecommendations of the research include: ICT infrastructure layout at different clusters of housing blocks,rnhousing units, communal blocks and proposed supportive infrastructures through consideration of urban spacesrnand housing units’ arrangement during integration of ICT infrastructure; existing land use plan, if there is any,rnwhile introducing supportive and related infrastructures.
