Abstract
The Gambella enclave, located along the Baro River and JabJabe stream, was formed due to trade activities between Anglo-Sudan and Ethiopia. A multinomial logistic regression model found that men, age, marriage, family size, and education level increase ethnic concentration in urban spaces. These findings suggest that there may be a correlation between higher education levels and access to the labor force, as evidenced by the higher representation of males with diplomas or above. These measures aim to create a balanced and inclusive settlement area, promoting equal opportunities for both men and women. The findings are crucial for policymakers and urban professionals to address gender inequality in decision-making, encourage self-employment, and discourage disgust community practices. All these promote individual empowerment and autonomy, which shape the dependability of residents in enclaves and maintain the diversity within the City.
