This study accounts for the capacity of bus terminals, population demand, the geographic separations between demand and supply locations, and pedestrian response to congestion in the Greater Kumasi area of Ghana. We found that access to bus terminals is low averaging 0.5 bus terminals per 10,000 people, underpinned by random distribution, low capacity, and high demand. Incorporation of urban morphology showed that high-dense settlements have better accessibility, while moderate-dense and low-dense settlements have comparable accessibility.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"4 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41293286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These morbidities tend to co-occur due to shared or overlapping risk factors. This study examines the determinants of co-occurrences of diarrhea and fever among children under five years of age (n = 8,338) in South Sudan using the national representative sample drawn from the 2010 South Sudan Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS4). The results show more than 50% of children under five are affected either by diarrhea (19%) or fever (16%), or both ailments (16%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis shows that variables related to the individual (child’s age, breastfeeding status, uptake of vitamin A supplements), family (mother’s pregnancy status, family wealth index), hygiene (water treatment status, waste disposal practices), and environment (national state of residency) significantly influence comorbidities among children under five years relative to children with neither diarrhea nor fever in South Sudan.The study suggests the need for parents and caregivers to be well advised and equipped with customized sanitation and hygiene skills to combat infectious diseases, so that they can play a key role in reducing comorbidities and mortalities among children under five years of age in their communities.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44667488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Ghana, management of the first and second waves of the pandemic garnered mixed reactions from the populace. Against these perspectives, this commentary explored the critical role of health promotion and wise reasoning tenets in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana, specifically through the following eight principles: intellectual humility; acknowledging uncertainty and change; perspective-taking of different viewpoints; integration of diverse perspectives; intersectorality; sustainability; empowerment and public health engagement; and equity. Our analyses demonstrate that wise reasoning and health promotion from Ghana’s political authorities are critical to ensure citizens’ compliance with the several measures that require a change of behavior.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42908037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For instance, some existing studies view urban informal settlements as hotspots of social unrest, squalor and precarious residential environments (poverty traps); while others perceive them as places where the poor become resourceful, ingenious, and develop necessary skills to navigate urban life (pathways out of poverty). The absence of systematic evidence on the nexus between informal settlements and human progress hinder sound urban policy practices. This paper examines the role of informal settlements in human development focusing on Hopley, Hatcliffe Extension and Epworth Ward 7–Harare’s three largest informal settlements. The study combines surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with selected residents from the three neighborhoods. The study reveals that despite feeling ‘trapped’ in conditions of precarious, overcrowded, and insecure housing, coupled with discursive territorial stigmatization, some informal settlement residents are hopeful that their settlements will eventually improve. The ambivalence of Harare’s urban policy toward informal settlements must be replaced by a more positive approach to improve the livelihoods of people living in these neighborhoods.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46321648","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
