Drivers in the conservation of urban green space depletion: A case study of Wa Municipality, Ghana by Sabastian Batasuma, Wei Cao, Nathan Awelama Atigah, Emefa Acorlor Garnet, Joshua Kojo Bonzo, Justice Gyimah

“…This study focuses on the Wa Municipality, examining the interplay between urbanization, regulatory policies, and human behavior in influencing green space loss.The innovation of this research lies in its integrated approach, combining qualitative insights with regression analysis to uncover complex dynamics affecting urban green spaces. Using statistical analysis and qualitative insights combined, the study revealed that while regulatory policies play a positive role in the preservation of green spaces (with a regression coefficient of Rp = 1.07, p < 0.01), both urbanization (Ur = -0.14, p < 0.05) and human behavior (Hb = -0.34, p < 0.05) significantly contribute to their decline.These findings highlight the critical need for robust legal frameworks and active community engagement to mitigate the negative effects of environmental degradation. …”
