Book Synopsis Holding Their Ground by : Alain Durand-Lasserve
Download or read book Holding Their Ground written by Alain Durand-Lasserve and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security of land tenure for the urban poor is now a major problem for developing cities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This book presents and analyzes the main conclusions of a comparative research programme on land tenure issues. It looks at how solutions can be found and implemented to respond to the demands and needs of the majority of squatters and informal settlements, and analyzes how urban stakeholders, with different social, legal and economic constraints, find innovative and flexible solutions. The book is intended to fill a gap in the literature on comparative research on tenure policies and should be useful to researchers and professionals involved in defining and instigating tenure upgrading policies and programmes.

This book was released on 2016-07-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tenure security is believed to be critical in spurring agricultural investment and productivity. Yet what improves or impedes tenure security is still poorly understood. Using household- and plot-level data from Ghana, this study analyzes the main factors associated with farmers’ perceived tenure security. Individually, farmers perceive greater tenure security on plots acquired via purchase or inheritance than on land allocated by traditional authorities. Collectively, however, perceived tenure security lessens in communities with more active land markets and economic vibrancy. Migrant households and women in polygamous households feel less secure about their tenure, while farmers with political connections are more confident about their tenure security.

This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Nature Protection, Landscape Conservation, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (Department of Land Economy and Institutte of Land Management and Development), course: Bsc. Land Economy, language: English, abstract: There is high unemployment among the youth in Ghana and across the world. With the educated youth, it is even higher despite the prospect employment opportunities in the agricultural sector. This leaves a lot of thinking in the minds of many as to what are the motivations for such attitude of the youth. This study hypothesized that land access and tenure security are the severe factors discouraging the youth from involving in agriculture in the Techiman Traditional Area. The study critically undertook topical and policy interventions literature review and incorporated an empirical investigation of the hypothesis and underlying issues. The study employed both quantitative and qualitative data obtained largely from questionnaires and interviews surveys. A total of 200 youths who were not currently involved in agriculture were randomly selected from some communities in the Techiman Traditional Area. The study made use of the relative importance index scale to rank the factors that motivates the youth to stay away from agriculture and other data reporting techniques. The survey indicated that land access and tenure security challenges are not the most severe factors discouraging the youth from participating in agriculture. The youth ranked it second as a factor that discourages them from agriculture with an RlII value of 0.804. The study found out that the youth perceived lack of interest and passion for agriculture to be the most violent factor that accounts for their non-involvement in agriculture and ranked it first with an RII value of 0.815. They ranked the remaining factors in descending order from third to twelve as follows: Busy with other 'better jobs' (0.652), Lack of capital or funds (0.57
Book Synopsis Smallholders and land tenure in Ghana by : Lambrecht, Isabel
Download or read book Smallholders and land tenure in Ghana written by Lambrecht, Isabel and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2015-12-18 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, policymakers and development practitioners have debated benefits and threats of property rights formalization and private versus customary tenure systems. This paper provides insights into the challenges in understanding and empirically analyzing the relationship between tenure systems and agricultural investment, and formulates policy advice that can support land tenure interventions. We focus on Ghana, based on extensive qualitative fieldwork and a review of empirical research and policy documents. Comparing research findings is challenging due to the use of different indicators, the varying contexts, and the diversity of investments. The interaction between land rights and investment make establishing causality extremely difficult. Setting policy priorities and strategies requires more and better insights into the diverse responses of different stakeholders and the tenure and cropping systems involved.

Book Synopsis Spatial Planning in Ghana by : Ransford A. Acheampong
Download or read book Spatial Planning in Ghana written by Ransford A. Acheampong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents and analyses spatial planning in Ghana, providing a comprehensive and critical discussion of the evolving institutional and legal arrangements that have shaped and defined Ghana’s spatial planning system for more than seven decades; the contemporary policy instruments and mechanisms for articulating and implementing policies and proposals at multiple scales; and the formally established procedures for development management. It covers important themes in contemporary spatial planning discourse, including the evolving meaning, scope and purpose of spatial planning globally; the scales of spatial planning (i.e. national, regional, sub-regional and local); multi-level integration within spatial planning; public participation; the interface between urbanization, sustainable growth management and spatial planning; spatial planning and housing development; integrated spatial development and transportation planning; and spatial planning and the urban informal economy. Intended for undergraduate and graduate students, and academic researchers and practitioners/policy-makers in the multidisciplinary field of spatial planning, it appeals to readers seeking an international perspective on spatial planning systems and practices.

This book was released on 2017-01-27 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urbanization has had a major impact on livelihoods in Ghana and throughout Africa as a whole. However, much research on urbanization has focused on effects occurring within cities, while there is insufficient understanding of its effects on rural areas. This paper examines the impact of urbanization—through a typology of districts—on rural livelihoods in Ghana. The country’s districts are classified into seven spatial groups according to the size of the largest city in each district in southern and northern Ghana. The paper does not address rural–urban migration but instead focuses on the livelihoods of rural households. In contrast to the extensive literature focusing on the effects of urbanization on individuals, we assess its impacts on individual rural households as a whole, with a particular focus on youth-headed households. Many rural households have shifted their primary employment from agriculture to nonagriculture, especially in the more urbanized South. In contrast, change in livelihood diversification within rural households with family members’ primary employment in both agriculture and nonagriculture appears much less rapid. Rural youth-headed households are significantly more associated with the transition away from agriculture than households headed by other adults, and such trends are stronger in locations closer to larger cities, particularly in the South. Although the nonagricultural economy is becoming increasingly important for rural households, contrary to expectations, the probit model analysis in this paper shows that agricultural production does not appear to be more intensified—in terms of modern input use—in the more urbanized South, and youth do not show greater agricultural technology adoption than other adults, indicating that the constraints against modern input adoption may be binding for all farmers, including youth and farmers in more urbanized locations. We also find that rural poverty rates are consistently lower among nonagricultural households, and the share of middle-class population is also disproportionally higher among rural nonagricultural households than agricultural households. While the probit analysis confirms the positive relationship between being a nonagricultural household and being nonpoor or becoming middle class after controlling for all other factors, education seems to play the biggest role. As rural youth become more educated and more households shift from agriculture to the rural nonfarm economy, a different range of technologies for agricultural intensification is necessary for agriculture to be attractive for youth. A territorial approach and related policies that integrate secondary cities and small towns with the rural economy deserve more attention such that the diversification of rural livelihoods can become a viable alternative or complement to rural–urban migration for youth.
Book Synopsis Land Use Competition by : Issahaka Fuseini
Download or read book Land Use Competition written by Issahaka Fuseini and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-26 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid urbanisation is one of the major challenges the world faces in the 21st century especially in the developing world which is projected to experience highest growth but where governments have very little capacity to effectively manage the expected growth. The processes of urbanisation engender land use competition, most notably in peri-urban areas, and this has implications for poverty, food security, employment and environmental sustainability in the rapidly growing cities of the developing world. This book contributes to understanding of urbanisation processes in developing countries by exploring the nexus between urbanisation, land use competition and food security in peri-urban areas of Tamale, a rapidly growing city in Ghana. The Tamale Metropolitan Area has witnessed phenomenal urbanisation over the few decades: A population increase of 116% between 1984 and 2000, and a spatial expansion of 137% between 1989 and 2005 reflect it. The six-chapter analysis provided in this book makes the case for enhanced land use planning and urban governance for socio-economic wellbeing of newly urbanizing areas, harmonious spatial development and environmental sustainability.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, grade: 62, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, language: English, abstract: The high rate of urbanization and fast growing population of cities have impacted on land management. The main objective of this study which focused on Asawase being the first estate that was built in Kumasi was to know how land is managed in informal settlements. The study analyzed how land can be effectively managed in Asawase, challenges of land management and also the legal and institutional arrangements backing management of land and to come out with recommendation on how land can be managed effectively in Kumasi., Ghana The study employed the cross sectional research design in which the case study method was used. The research made use of the participatory approach in order to have diverse views on the research topi.The research adopted the use of questionnaires and interviews to collect data from slum dwellers and institutions in charge of managing land within Asawase such as Town and Country Planning Department(TCPD), Lands Commission(LC), Asokore Mampong Municipal Assembly (AMMA). From the study, it was observed that, the conditions in Asawase had deteriorated considerably leading to poor sanitation, substandard of housing, lack of basic services and facilities and low generating income activities. It was further established that, the institutions in charge of managing land face a lot of challenges in undertaking their duties, some challenges are, political influence, delay in the release of funds, failure in reviewing plans and inadequate logistics, land litigation and disputes were also major challenges in the managing of land in Asawase. Efficient land administration in urban areas could promote development of communities and enhance socioeconomic growth. Lastly, human resource and logistics should be adequate to make land service delivery efficient and make clients comfortable in their transactions with the institutions.
