摘要

摘要尽管绿色城市的重要性和文献中的贡献越来越大,但城市仍然面临着规划不善、洪水和贫民窟等挑战,尤其是在包括加纳在内的非洲。然而,没有任何研究调查加纳发展绿色城市所需的可持续性内容。有鉴于此,本研究的主要目的是探索支撑加纳绿色城市发展的关键可持续性内容。在使用定量设计时,从综合文献综述中确定了20个变量,并对154名具有绿色城市发展经验的专业人员进行了定量调查。基于描述性统计和探索性因素分析,提出了四大类,即可持续城市规划、可持续城市管理、综合可持续城市设计、可持续城市和遗产保护。这项研究为绿色城市发展的关键绿色内容提供了见解,这将对学术界、行业从业者和政策制定者有用。尽管这项研究的地理范围仅限于加纳,但研究结果可能适用于与加纳城市具有相似特征的发展中国家其他城市。

A factor analysis of the key sustainability content underpinning green cities development in Ghana
Abstract Despite the growing importance of green cities and the contributions in literature, cities still face challenges such as poor planning, flooding, and slums especially in Africa including Ghana. Yet, no study has investigated the sustainability content required to develop green cities in Ghana. In view of this, the primary aim of this study is to explore the key sustainability content underpinning green cities development in Ghana. In using the quantitative design, 20 variables were identified from a comprehensive literature review, and a quantitative survey was performed with 154 professionals with green cities development experience. Based on descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis, four major categories were developed namely, sustainable city planning, sustainable city management, integrative sustainable city design, and sustainable city and heritage preservation. This study provides insights into key green content for green cities development which will be useful to academia, industry practitioners, and policymakers. Although this study was limited in geographical scope to Ghana, the findings may apply to other cities in developing countries that share similar characteristics with Ghanaian cities.
