Abstract: The study aims to examine the role of stakeholders in the management practices of urban green infrastructure (UGI) in Southern Ethiopia. Key informant interview, focus group discussion and household survey were used to collect data. Majority of the respondents confirmed that beautification, shading and cooling effects and storm water management are the main reasons to develop UGI. However, there is a significant variation in the participation of stakeholders in managing UGI. This is due to lack of awareness, policy and poor coordination. The study recommends an interconnected decision-making activity is needed to ensure the sustainable improvement of the urban environment.
