  • Housing as an Expression of Migration Possibilities, Status and Belonging

    Daniel Kwame Blija, Emmanuel Amponsah et al.ARTICLEHousing Theory and Society2026

    Drawing on data from multiple methods, including 443 household heads, 71 transmigrants, and five key informant interviews, this paper unpacks the effects of translocal householding on rural housing transformation in Nkoranza South Municipality, Ghana. We report that housing constitutes a site through which translocal networks are enacted, negotiated, and materially expressed. Three distinct mechanisms underpin this process: (i) financial transfer…

  • Mobility dynamics of transmigrants and their implications on socioeconomic development

    Emmanuel Amponsah, Daniel Kwame Blija et al.ARTICLEAfrican Geographical Review2025

    Migration is a key livelihood strategy for many households globally. Despite numerous studies on migration in Ghana, there is limited research on the dynamics of transmigration and its socioeconomic impacts. This paper addresses this gap by examining transmigration in the Nkoranza South Municipality, Ghana. The study employed a mixed-methods approach with a survey of 477 migrant households and key informant consultations. The data obtained were a…

  • A fuzzy synthetic evaluation of transportation satisfaction among translocal migrants across Ghana’s urban spaces

    Using the concept of translocality, this study examines how translocal migrants perceive and experience transport systems, specifically, service and infrastructure, as well as confidence in transport-related institutions. Adopting an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach, data were obtained from 438 translocal migrants from Nkoranza South Municipality of Ghana living in Kumasi through the ‘follow the migrant approach’ after a reconnaissan…

    Open AccessDaniel Kwame Blija, Emmanuel Amponsah et al.ARTICLEAfrica Spectrum2025References: 78

    Access to decent and affordable housing is a major source of distress for migrants in many cities in Africa. For translocal migrants, there are limited housing pathways, further constrained by various socio-cultural practices. Using translocal migrants in Kumasi as a case, we posed and answered three key questions: (i) What housing pathways do translocal migrants pursue? (ii) How do they access and finance them? and (iii) What socio-cultural supp…

  • Subjective or objective ideal housing? Determinants of housing choice of translocal migrants in the Ghanaian urban context

    Open AccessDaniel Kwame Blija, Emmanuel Amponsah et al.ARTICLECities2025Cited by: 1References: 3

    Housing choices are unique to different population groups and ignoring the distinctions in planning and supply can result in a mismatch between the housing delivered and the user's needs. Thus, identifying the determinants of housing choices of translocal migrants is a needed, yet under-studied area in housing scholarship. This paper investigates these factors among translocal households in Nkoranza South Municipality and their translocal migrant…
