The purpose of the research is to examine the conformance and performance of land use plan of Yirba town. To get accurate and adequate information on the level of achievement of urban plan, primary and secondary data sources were used with respect to land use categories. Primary data sources such as land inventory and key informants interview were exhaustively employed. Land inventory was undertaken to have firsthand information on the existing situation of general as well as detail land use of the town. Key informants interview were conducted to gather data from experts Yirba municipality, and Sidama Region Urban planning Institute. Secondary data sources such as document reviews of basic plan and strategic Plan of Yirba town, urban development policy and other legal documents were used for investigation purpose. GIS, Microsoft office word, and excel were used to analyze the quantitative and qualitative data. The results of the analysis were presented in the form of maps, graph, chart, and tables. Descriptive and explanatory analysis research designs were employed. The results of analysis elucidates that conformance evaluation has vital contribution to avoid wastage of urban land and the best use of available space. The performance evaluation results make clear the overall achievement of urban plan for the stated town is low. Even though it is overlooked, the conformance evaluation that is conducted prior to the approval of the proposed plan and during implementation is crucial for preventing the wastage of urban land and significantly helps for proper implementation. A full-fledged performance evaluation is recommended before the commencement of new urban plan for the town. Conducting such performance evaluation helps identify the level of success or failure, and the gaps of the prior plan. Since action plans and phasing plans are tools for implementation, they must be developed in tandem with land use plans for the proper execution of urban plans. Urban planning is regarded to be a collaborative field. It necessitates cooperation of numerous teams or experts during the planning and execution stages.
