Most parts of the world are rapidly urbanizing. In sub-Saharan Africa, towns are urbanizing at a faster pace than earlier predicted. Also, large portions of rural settings have been gradually moving towards urbanization. The Tamale Metropolis has been rated as the fastest-growing metropolis in Sub-Saharan Africa. City planning and concerns about the need for open-space creation have been a major challenge due to poor adherence to standards in the building codes. This study was conducted to assess the role of open space in human settlement development in the Tamale Metropolis. The study sampled the views of 157 residents who stay closed to community open spaces in five suburbs of the metropolis. Key informant interviews were also conducted with officials from the Town and Country Planning Department. The study revealed that most residents spend leisure by taking a walk in the neighborhood or idling in outdoor spaces. Also, the majority of the residents had poor knowledge of institutional and land administration. This often led to non-adherence to regulations and this affects open spaces in the metropolis. Common among residents is also a poor appreciation of the importance of open space and this results in encroachment. The Town and Country Planning Department should institute sanctions and stringent measures to deter offenders. Also, public seminars should be used to educate residents on the need to adhere to planning and building codes. Lastly, the study recommends strong collaboration between the various institutions engaged in land administration to facilitate effective provision and preservation of quality open spaces in the metropolis.

The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) has become a matter of great concern. As a result of this, there have been strenuous efforts at all levels geared towards addressing this menace. Although there are several methods of disposing of waste, landfills remain one of the outstanding management systems in dealing with the growing quantum of generated municipal solid waste. This study assessed the consequence of poor landfill management from the perspective of the Gbalahi landfill in the Sagnarigu Municipality in Northern Ghana. The study employed interviews to gather information from 103 households. The acquired data was supported by some secondary data from the site management and the municipal environmental unit. The study revealed that poor management of the facility has led to the breakdown of some major components of the facility. It was also noted that the site poses a threat to the health of the nearby communities owing to the uncontrolled dust, smoke, and activities of vermin as well as scavengers. The study concludes the Ghalahi landfill in its current state remains a threat to the health of the inhabitants of the area. Poor management of equipment and failure to adhere to best practices has exacerbated conditions of their operation putting the health of the people in danger. Regular monitoring of the site by the EPA and the local government authorities can help reduce the risk of exposure on the nearby communities.
