This study’s purpose is to portray the effects of urbanisation on monuments. The study utilized a
case study of Domboshava historical monument. The aim of this study is to portray how different
cultural heritage within Domboshava is being affected by urbanisation. The study is qualitative in
nature and it utilized simple, random and purposive sampling in selecting the participants. This
study established that urbanisation is still negatively affecting the monuments’ well-being in
Domboshava. This is mainly caused by the rural to urban migration of people. Also the issue of
high birth rates has resulted in higher populations. A larger number of people’s availability had
resulted in a lot of pressure on heritage monuments such as the rock paintings. The study also
established that a lot of people had caused vandalism. The issue of religious beliefs also has impacts
on monuments. However, in order to curb against such effects the government and NMMZ adopted
the issue of entrance fee in-order to limit the number of people who access the monuments. The
study also had established that the NMMZ and responsible authorities should put security, fences,
and community engagement. The study also recommended that the government and NMMZ should
employ more knowledgeable personnel in heritage management and conservation in Domboshava.
The study also established that the community should be involved in planning and management of
heritage
