The accessibility of appropriate land for private development has become significant concern to, essentially, residential property developers. With Ampabame in view, the aim this study is to examine prevalent challenges pertaining acquisition land; high-land-value effect service delivery on development; and role relevant agencies delivery, as well its impact development. sample includes some owners at Ampabame, Lands Commission, Land Use Spatial Planning Authority. Among findings, lack cooperation (and coordination), among, and/or between, all stakeholders community (fundamentally, developers utilities services providers), most adverse residences. It is, therefore, recommended that there should be coordination among institutions; such chiefs elders, family heads, district assembly.

The best site selection for building construction projects is a substantial challenge in urban and architectural engineering because, most cases, selecting project's location influenced by the intentions of politicians commands governments rather than logical decisions. This gap has resulted catastrophic mistakes some cases. research presents an expanded authentic method to address gaps aims develop technical approach integrating qualitative parameters with quantitative factors using Multi-Dimensional Matrix (MDM). About 70 indicators, such as physical attributes, infrastructures, land features, access services, brownfields, population density, landscape, environmental characters, other effective parameters, based on analysis background well opinions 10 experts, were identified classified. was implemented case study which analyzed detail. In addition, questionnaire also applied discover deficiencies its potential consider residents' demands real participants project. suggested proper alternative current arbitrary methods minimizes mistakes.
