Urban open spaces offer both environmental and social benefits. However, comprehensive studies that integrate quantitative qualitative evaluations of the factors driving change in these their long-term predictions are lacking. Most existing concentrate on land-use development rather than conducting empirical research specific to urban Shanghai. This study addresses this gap by employing a geographic detector (geodetector) analyze influence various open-space changes. These were then used as weight values multicriteria CA-Markov model simulate predict Shanghai's 2050. The advantage analyzing forces lies ability capture multifactor synergy influencing spaces, aligning with aim quantitatively evaluate interaction between natural, climatic, socioeconomic factors. Additionally, semi-structured interviews conducted 10 policymakers planners assess reliability predictions. results indicate primary drivers spaces. Specifically, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) population density (PD) emerged most influential variables. For prediction outcomes, unconstrained scenario predicts decrease area from 5610.94 km2 2020 5124.36 planning intervention anticipates minimal changes total almost no floating economic rapid decline Experts evaluated three scenarios confirmed accuracy models. methods findings can support zoning for systems other cities regions.

Patterns of green space change and fragmentation in a rapidly expanding city of northern Ghana, West Africa

City and Environment Interactions, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 21, P. 100136 - 100136

Green spaces such as forests, grasslands, and croplands (including gardens) can be found in urban environments. Although they benefit human animal well-being, have become threatened due to rapid growth unplanned development. Yet, little attention has been given studying the dynamics of green sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, we examined land use cover (LULC) change fragmentation (especially, spaces) within second fastest urbanising city Ghana, Tamale. particular, focused our analyses on its core (∼5 km radius around centre) relevance economy society. Landsat data was used estimate metrics past future LULC changes study area from 1990 2052. We clear patterns space decline core: i.e., became patchy over time pattern expected continue future. Additionally, built-up class benefited with latter being significantly negatively correlated population size. Our investigation reveals that protected forests tree plantations contributed a significant proportion available core. However, these areas were becoming increasingly by forest reserve downsizing, indiscriminate activities (e.g., logging encroachment), sale public lands private developers, practices commonly associated growth. Hence, enforcement relevant local legislations 2016 Land Use Spatial Planning Act [Act 925]) coupled integration initiatives policies encourage are needed ensure sustainability ecosystems for well-being humans environment.
