Name Signature Date 2 ABSTRACT Ghana since independence struggled to establish a workable system of local level administration by going through a number of efforts to decentralize political and administrative authority from the centre to the local level. After 30 years, the 1992 constitution and the local government Act 462 of 1993 were promulgated to provide a suitable basis to end Ghana’s struggle for the establishment of an appropriate framework for managing the national development agenda. The formation of the District Assemblies was to provide governance at the local level and help in economic development of the people by formulating and implementing strategic plans to bring about total economic development in their various Districts.

The District has an area of about 409.4 square kilometers representing 1.68% of the land area of Ashanti Region. The District is bounded by Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly to the South, Ejura Sekyedumase to the North-West, Atwima Nwabiagya to the South-West, Sekyere South to the North, Offinso Municipal to the West and Kwabre East District to the East. The Afigya-Kwabre District was carved out of two (2) Districts namely; Kwabre and Afigya – Sekyere. The central location of the district within the Ashanti Region coupled with accessibility to most of the areas make interaction among the populace very easy. Its closeness to the second largest city in Ghana, i.e. Kumasi makes it a dormitory district as well as high population growth rate and fast growth of settlements. This has resulted in intense pressure on socio-economic facilities as well as increase in waste generation.

  • Environmental Noise Implications of Quarrying at Buoho Township and Surrounding Communities in Ghana
    International Journal of Research in Environmental Science Volume 4, Issue 3, 2018, PP 1-12 ISSN No. (Online) 2454-9444 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-9444.0403001 www.arcjournals.org Environmental Noise Implications of Quarrying at Buoho Township and Surrounding Communities in Ghana Bannerman S. D.1, Osei E. M. Jnr2, Duker A. A.2, Yevugah L.L.2* 1Materials Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana 2Geomatic Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana *Corresponding Author: Bannerman S.D., Materials Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science andTechnology, Kumasi, Ghana. Email: [email protected] Abstract: Due to rapid urbanization and emergence of several quarrying companies and activities within Buoho township and surrounding communities, noise levels have exceeded prescribed limits. Generation of noise largely from incessant blasting activities has become a major environmental concern for residents living in close proximity to quarry sites. This study assesses the impact of blast and ambient noise levels and its environmental health implications on susceptible individuals within exposed communities. Field observations of blast and ambient noise levels at selected locations were measured using a sound level meter. Results from blast measurements indicated a decline in noise levels as distance increased from the blast point. The highest and lowest blast noise levels recorded were 121.2 dBA and 92.4 dBA at distances of 203 m and 1340 m respectively. A comprehensive Social Impact Assessment (SIA) conducted on respondents within a 1000 meter radius from the blast point revealed that 17% always experienced noise related ailments, while 33% occasionally experienced the ailments.
