A Study of the Nkawie and Toase Stools of the Atwima Nwabiagya District of the Ashanti Region
Management of stool land revenue in Ghana Mahama and Baffour MANAGEMENT OF STOOL LAND REVENUE IN GHANA: A STUDY OF THE NKAWIE AND TOASE STOOLS OF THE ATWIMA NWABIAGYA DISTRICT OF THE ASHANTI REGION C.A. Mahama 1 and O.A. Baffour 2 1Department of Land Economy, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana 2College of Technology Education, University of Education, Kumasi Campus, Ghana ABSTRACT Land plays an important part in the socio-economic development in Ghana. In fact apart from the spiritual dimension of land in the Ghanaian context, it contributes about 60 % of the GDP of the country. Out of the total contribution, the non state sector, made up of individual, family and cus- tomary sectors contribute about 80 %. Despite constitutional and statutory interventions in the ad- ministration of this sector, not much has been achieved in that regard. The management of stool lands, however, has for long time been beset with many problems including indeterminate bounda- ries of stool lands, poor record keeping which often results in multiple sales and chieftaincy disputes that invariably affect the security of tenure of purchasers and for that matter the productive use of land. Given the constitutional importance of stool lands, this research investigates the impact of stool land revenue in rural areas using Toase and Nkawie Stools of the Atwima Nwabiagya District of the Ashanti Region. To this end, the research assessed the performance of key stakeholders like the Stools, District Assembly and Office of the Administrator of Stool Lands (OASL) Regional Office. Keywords: Stool Lands, Revenue, Management, Toase, Nkawie INTRODUCTION linked to land ownership and the stool holds the Constitutionally, stool occupants hold land on allodial title in land. -

Stepping Outside the Ordinary Expectations of Schooling: Effect On
African Journal of Educational Studies in Mathematics and Sciences Vol. 7, 2009 Developing a Geographic Information System (GIS) application for soils and crop suitability studies in Atwima District of Ghana Owusu-Akyaw, K. B.10 Abstract This paper reports a study that sought to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) application for soils and their crops suitability in the Atwima District. The purpose of the study was to digitally capture, store, and analyze the soil map and crops suitability data of the district. GIS is a computer-based system for gathering, storing, manipulating and analyzing spatial data to support decision making. In this study, the soil map of the Atwima district was digitized and analyzed with GIS software called ArcView. The soil characteristics and crops suitability data were also added in tabular form to the database. A thematic map showing soil associations and their crop suitability was then generated from the database and displayed concurrently with the tabular data. Analysis of the map and table proved that it is easier to study soils and their suitable crops from their data displayed concurrently on the desktop. It was therefore concluded that developing GIS application for the study of soils and crops suitability is an effective way of bringing all related datasets together to support agricultural research and decision making. The main recommendation was that agricultural students must develop a comprehensive GIS database that will include all datasets relevant to soils and crops studies and management. Keywords: geographic information system, digitalized soil map, soils and crops studies Introduction According to Adjei-Gyapong and Asiamah (1998), soil mapping, classification and evaluation began in Ghana in 1946 by the Soil Research Institute (SRI) of Ghana. -

Re-Examining the Akan Gold Weight and Its Possible Reuse
Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: C Sociology & Culture Volume 20 Issue 6 Version 1.0 Year 2020 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Re-Examining the Akan Gold Weight and its Possible Reuse By Andrew Richard Owusu Addo (MFA) & Ronit Akomeah Education Kwame Nkrumah University Abstract- Generally, Gold weights(called mrammou in the Akan language) are weights made of brass and used as a measuring system by the people of Akan in West Africa. This was used for weighing gold dust which was the currency until that was replaced by paper money and coins. These gold weights look like miniature models of everyday objects. In the Akan society, gold weights have played a significant part so far as the tradition and culture and the economy are concerned. The gold weights have several cultural and symbolic undertones that require a study and an understanding by modern society. Hence the study was conducted to revealed philosophical, cultural, and an outstanding value attached to the gold weights. This was attained by using qualitative research design and research instruments such as purposive and convenience sampling techniques. Interview and observation were the two main data collection tools used. However, the long hours of inquiry with key respondents in the naturalistic fieldwork which was peculiar of phenomenological study such as this aided the researcher in gaining in- depth information and understanding of what gold weights represent and its significance in the tradition and customs of the people of Akan.

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. -
