  • Phd. (PAINTING & SCULPTURE)
    ASANTE FOLKLORE AND KUMASI KIOSK ARCHITECTURE: A VISUAL EXPLORATION OF HYBRIDITY AND MYTHOGRAPHY BY ELIAS TIGER OPPONG BFA (HONS.) A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE, KWAME NKRUMAH UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF PhD. (PAINTING & SCULPTURE) FACULTY OF ART, COLLEGE OF ART AND SOCIAL SCIENCES FEBRUARY, 2009 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this project report is an account on my project topic, solely done by me under the guidance of my supervisors, Dr. Prof. R.T. Ackam and Dr. E.C. Nyarkoh, Faculty of Art, KNUST, Kumasi. It has not been presented partially or wholly to any other university or institution for the award of any degree. Signature of Candidate Elias Tiger Oppong Date: Signature of Supervisor Dr. Prof. R. T. Ackam Date: Head of Department Mr. K. B. Kissiedu ABSTRACT This studio-based research improvises on the architectonics of Kumasi kiosks. I present the ensuing body of artefacts as a working prototype which joins on-going cultural conversations on hybridity in contemporary art. The typical Kumasi kiosk is referenced as a site for negotiation of boundaries in its design, setting and function, but I have also made allusions to suggestions of hybridity and boundary negotiation in the polyvalent structure of Asante myth and folklore. I made a close study of three hundred kiosks located in the urban quarters of Kumasi. I also engaged such thinkers on hybrid spaces as Homi Bhabha , Jacques Derrida, Michael Foucault, Stuart Hall, Paul Gilroy, etc, to discourse on Asante mythology. I laid emphasis on the myth of ɔhyeεni (ɔhene-king), a patriarchal figure who negotiates boundaries, Asante and Akan filial kinship narrative from Asante history.

DENNIS KWADWO OKYERE ………………………… …………………….. (PG 5433611) SIGNATURE DATE CERTIFIED BY: PROF. KWASI KWAFO ADARKWA ……………………….. ……………………. (SUPERVISOR) SIGNATURE DATE CERTIFIED BY: DR. DANIEL K.B. INKOOM ………………………... ……………………. (HEAD OF DEPARTMENT) SIGNATURE DATE ii ABSTRACT Sustainable transportation is of great importance in today’s world, because of concerns regarding the environmental, economic, and social equity impacts of transportation systems. Sustainable development can be defined as the development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising on the future ability to meet the same needs. Sustainable transportation can be considered as an expression of sustainable development in the transport sector. This is because of the high growth of the transport sector’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions at the global scale, its impact on the economy, as well as, on social well-being. Since the mid-20th century, the negative side effects of urban transportation have become particularly apparent in the metropolitan areas of developed countries.

  • Offinso Municipality
    OFFINSO MUNICIPALITY Copyright © 2014 Ghana Statistical Service ii PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No meaningful developmental activity can be undertaken without taking into account the characteristics of the population for whom the activity is targeted. The size of the population and its spatial distribution, growth and change over time, in addition to its socio-economic characteristics are all important in development planning. A population census is the most important source of data on the size, composition, growth and distribution of a country’s population at the national and sub-national levels. Data from the 2010 Population and Housing Census (PHC) will serve as reference for equitable distribution of national resources and government services, including the allocation of government funds among various regions, districts and other sub-national populations to education, health and other social services. The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) is delighted to provide data users, especially the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies, with district-level analytical reports based on the 2010 PHC data to facilitate their planning and decision-making. The District Analytical Report for the Offinso Municipality one of the 216 district census reports aimed at making data available to planners and decision makers at the district level. In addition to presenting the district profile, the report discusses the social and economic dimensions of demographic variables and their implications for policy formulation, planning and interventions. The conclusions and recommendations drawn from the district report are expected to serve as a basis for improving the quality of life of Ghanaians through evidence- based decision-making, monitoring and evaluation of developmental goals and intervention programmes.

  • Towards Integrated Urban Water Management in the Greater Accra
    Towards integrated urban water management in the Great the in management water urban integrated Towards Towards integrated urban water management in the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area Greater Accra Metropolitan Area Current status and strategic directions for the future Accra, the administrative and economic capital of Ghana, just like cities all over the world, is facing ever increasing difficulties in efficiently managing water resources and providing water and sanitation services to its citizens. Meeting these challenges and adopting a more integrated approach to urban water management requires a firm understanding of the current situation. This book presents a situational analysis of Accra, bringing together a wealth of information and data from different sources, including stakeholder dialogues, in the areas of water service provision, excreta and waste water management, storm water management and planning and coordinating. It is presented and analysed through the Resources, Infrastructure, Demand and Access Framework (RIDA) which provides a thorough overview of the current situation and challenges that the city is facing. This book is the consolidation of a four-year strategic planning process, undertaken by the Accra Learning Alliance, which brings together policy makers, service providers, researchers and civil society. In addition to analysis, it presents a vision for water management in the city of Accra and strategic directions towards achieving the vision as defined by the Accra Learning Alliance. The SWITCH project facilitated this process, aiming to bring about a paradigm shift in urban water management away from existing ad hoc solutions to urban water management and towards a more coherent and integrated approach.
