Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Nature Protection, Landscape Conservation, grade: A, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Institute of Land Management and Development), course: Bsc. Land Economy, language: English, abstract: This paper seeks to make a paradigm shift from conceptual frameworks to empirical studies to investigate the motivations for and effects of haphazard property development in the Bawku municipality.The study adopted a case study research design and made use of both qualitative and quantitative data from a field survey and literature review. The primary data was obtained from 120 property owners, the assemblyman of the area and the planning authorities of the Bawku municipality. The study relied on both primary and secondary data. The primary data was obtained through questionnaires, group interviews and focus group discussion and the secondary data was obtained from the literature review.The motivation for the haphazard property development was categorized into property owners' perspective and stakeholders' perspective. From the property owners' perspective, a number of motivations were identified including ignorance of planning and building regulations 90 (75.00%), nature of the property 80 (66.67%) and corruption 68 (56.67%). From the stakeholders' perspective, a number of motivations were identified and ranked including indiscipline of the property owners (1st), population growth and unregulated urbanization (2nd) and logistic and capacity gap (3rd).The paper also identifies a number of effects of the haphazard property development including a threat to future development, destruction of the natural environment and biodiversity and poor planning outlook.The paper therefore recommends that the concerted effort of both the planning authorities and stakeholders is needed to create awareness of the need to obtain building or planning permits before commencing property development and that punitive sanctions should be meted out to offenders identified, including demolition of such development at the earliest stage of development, conviction, imprisonment or convictions with a fine. 24 pp. Englisch.…
