Abstract

PurposeGated communities continue to spread in popularity across cities around the world. Ghana has seen considerable growth in the development of gated communities over the last few years. This phenomenon manifests in the majority new residential developments and most forms of residential property advertisement in the capital city. The purpose of this paper is to explore the drivers of gated community developments in Ghana from the perspective of gated community developers.Design/methodology/approachThis paper used a qualitative research approach. Through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, data was collected from purposively selected key stakeholders in the gated community development market, including developers, managers and consultants.FindingsThe drivers identified from the developers' perspective were the demand for gated community properties, the control over and ease of management of assets and interests, the high development/production cost of real estate and speculative development of gated community properties.Originality/valueThis paper is an initial study that explores the drivers of gated community developments in Ghana from the perspective of gated community developers. This paper extends the literature on gated communities beyond the residents perspective.

加纳封闭式社区发展的驱动因素:开发商的视角

有目的社区继续在世界各地的城市中流行开来。在过去几年中，加纳在封闭式社区的发展方面取得了相当大的增长。这一现象体现在首都大多数的新住宅开发项目和大多数形式的住宅物业广告中。本文的目的是从封闭社区开发商的角度探讨加纳封闭社区发展的驱动因素。设计/方法/方法本文采用了定性研究方法。通过面对面的半结构化访谈，我们从封闭式社区开发市场中有意选择的关键利益相关者(包括开发商、管理者和顾问)中收集数据。从开发商的角度来看，驱动因素包括对封闭式社区物业的需求、对资产和权益的控制和易于管理、房地产的高开发/生产成本以及封闭式社区物业的投机性开发。原创性/价值本文是一项初步研究，从封闭式社区开发商的角度探讨了加纳封闭式社区发展的驱动因素。本文将封闭社区的研究文献扩展到居民视角之外。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
