This is a detailed description of everyday environmental hazards and disaster risks for Greater Accra based on data collected in more than 200 residential areas. Data were collected on nine environmental problem areas – water, sanitation, pests, sullage/drainage, food contamination, hygiene, solid waste, housing problems and indoor/outdoor air pollution. Data were also gathered on morbidity and disaster hazards and all data were integrated into a GIS system. The study also had a particular interest in considering how such problems changed seasonally. The book then presents a range of maps, accompanied by descriptions and photos, showing the differences between residential areas in each of the environmental problem areas noted above. It also includes maps showing the spatial differences in flooding and earthquake risks, particular diseases and which diseases are the most important. It ends with a discussion of emerging trends in the urbanization of injustice; seasonal, temporal and spatial trends; and trends in disaster threats.
