Unpacking the drivers and effects of localized flooding in Glefe (Accra) and residents’ autonomous adaptation strategies
Coastal communities in Ghana face pollution threats from industrial, agricultural, and urban activities. Glefe, which is entirely coastal, is especially vulnerable to these issues, along with tropical storms, rising sea levels, and localized flooding that may result from climate change. The increased demand for land has worsened these situations and attracted a large and diverse body of scholarship. However, residents feel that the local governan…
Spatial Analysis of Exposure of Roads to Flooding and Its Implications for Mobility in Urban/Peri-Urban Accra
Climate change seriously threatens human systems, properties and livelihoods. Global projections suggest a continuous increase in the frequency and severity of weather events, with severe outcomes. Although the trends and impacts are highly variable depending on location, most studies tend to concentrate on either the urban or rural areas, with little focus on peri-urban areas. Yet, in Sub-Saharan Africa, peri-urban areas display unique character…
High mobility lifestyles
This paper explores everyday travel behavior among urbanites in Accra's periphery and unpacks how travel choices and preferences are conditioned and constrained in a context of rapid urban expansion, unregulated residential sprawl, infrastructural deficits, congestion and changing socio-economic conditions. The paper draws on qualitative interviews (n = 48) and a travel survey (n = 2107) targeting economically active adults residing in peripheral…
A geospatial perspective of flood risk hotspots, transport networks and emergency response services in Accra, Ghana
This paper adds to existing knowledge about flood management in Accra and contributes insights into emergency responses to major flood events in a geospatial context. The study identifies and analyses the specific routes from the facilities of emergency responders to designated flood-prone areas within four sites in the peripheral areas of the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area. Flood hotspots were ascertained from several sources including local kn…
Built-in Flood Risk
Urban flood risk is significantly shaped by ground conditions and the built environment, which are constantly modified and transformed by human actions. This paper examines the intertwinement of flood risk and unregulated urban expansion processes in three selected sites in Accra’s expanding periphery. All three sites have been included in Accra’s urban extent since the 1990s, but differ with regard to the timing of development and socio-economic…
Urban encroachment in ecologically sensitive areas
The drivers and consequences of unregulated urban expansion processes in Accra, Ghana, are examined together with the associated encroachment upon ecologically sensitive areas in the city’s rapidly growing periphery. Three sites are considered which attracted settlers from vastly different economic segments of the urban population from the 2000s and onwards. A combination of geographical information system (GIS)-based analysis, evidence from a re…
Probing political paradox
Urban managers in sub-Saharan Africa have recently come under intense pressure to prepare for and adapt to the footprints of rapid peri-urbanization and increased climate-related risks. Addressing spatial planning integral with the urban expansion is not only because climate variability is becoming more prominent. Further, within peri-urban zones, people most often live and work in physical areas of hazard that are commensurate with their economi…
A Comparison of Satellite-Based Estimates of Urban Agglomeration Size for the Accra Area
Data on the extension of urban areas are important for analyzing growth dynamics and to support the planning of transport and service provision. Satellite-based remote sensing has proven extremely useful, especially in cities that experience fast spatial growth. Different approaches to satellite-based mapping may, however, produce different results concerning urban categorization and delineation, often making direct comparison misleading. This st…

Suburbanisation, homeownership aspirations and urban housing
This paper offers an exploration of urban expansion from the point of view of the individual residents buying land, settling and living in new, rapidly growing peripheral settlements of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The findings suggest that the demand for affordable housing is the primary motivation for residents moving to the periphery. The demand for self-built, owner-occupier housing is especially significant initially, while the demand for non-ow…

Becoming and Being an African Scholar
Universities in Africa are increasingly seen as key drivers for development and, hence, as a focus point for development agencies in the North. Through the ENhancement of REsearch Capacity (ENRECA) programme 1989–2009, the Danish Development Agency has facilitated Ph.D. education and research in partnerships with African higher education institutions. As other capacity-building projects, ENRECA has been evaluated by donor-initiated missions looki…

Patterns of population change in Ghana (1984–2000)
GIS-facilitated spatial narratives
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 108(2):49–57, 2008 The paper examines the implementation and dissemination of spatial narratives within a geographical information system context with specific reference to portable GPS-enabled devices. The overall goal is to establish a framework for the creation of computer assisted ‘guided tours’ based on the thematically and narrative linking of a set of locations within an area. A spatial na…
Large-area urban growth observations—a hierarchical kernel approach based on image texture
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 105(2):39–47, 2005 A multi-scale classification algorithm based entirely on computation of image texture in moving windows is presented and discussed. The rationale for using kernel-based methods as opposed to segment-based methods for texture-based land cover classification is discussed, as well as, the need for identifying strategies that may limit the effects of the inherent weaknesses of the …
Exploiting available data sources
The preconditions for applying GIS-based location-allocation analysis for health service planning in rural Ghana are examined in terms of data availability and quality. A population map is established from the latest available census using geo-coding methods and digital topographic sheets. A vector-based transport model of the region is established by merging data from several sources including GPS. It is suggested that a hybrid transport model i…

Assessing Spatial Aspects of School Location-Allocation in Copenhagen
Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 98: 71–80. Various spatial properties of public school districts may be assessed using location-allocation modelling tools of vector-based geographical information systems. The functionality of these tools and the requirements for a suitable digital map base is discussed initially. Subsequently, the spatial properties of school districts in selected regions of Copenhagen are established based on …

Lasse Møller-Jensen & Poul Yankson: Assessing the Land Cover Change of Accra Using Landsat-TM data. Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 94:xx–xx. Copenhagen, Dec. 1994. The objective of the current study is to produce a land cover map of Accra, Ghana, showing the recent spatial growth in order to assess the nature of this growth and the current spatial development trends. A second purpose is to test the adequacy of Landsat-TM image…
