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

“…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. …”
