Abstract

The hazardous fire conditions at fuel stations threaten both residential and commercial sectors of Ghana. This study evaluated community perceptions regarding fire risks in gas stations and it measured both preparedness and fire safety educational levels. The researchers employed triangulated data collection tools using unstructured interviews, focus group discussions and observations which collected data from citizens, business owner and gasoline station employees. Study findings showed general public awareness about fire hazards but inadequate people had preparedness measures alongside weak adherence to rules throughout the community. The insufficient planning of many fuel stations close to residential areas created additional fire hazards due to inadequate town development practices. The report supports updated zoning rules that need better law enforcement combined with enhanced fire safety education and fire risk reduction activities involving local communities. The improvement of fire emergency readiness requires the establishment of fire hydrants together with standardized safety drills and increased enforcement of fire safety legislation. The planned steps will establish safer workplace environments in Ghana together with reduced gas station safety hazards.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between unemployment and relationship breakdown among youth in Ghana. Unemployment among youth has become a pressing issue globally, particularly in developing countries like Ghana. The objective is to investigate how the experience of unemployment influences relationship stability among young adults. The study employs qualitative research methods, including interviews and focus groups to gather data from unemployed youth in various regions of Ghana. Factors such as financial stress, decreased self-esteem, and the strain on interpersonal relationships due to unemployment were some of the perceptions by the unemployed youth in Ghana. The findings aim to contribute to a better understanding of the social impacts of unemployment and provide insights into potential interventions to support youth navigating these challenges in Ghanaian society.

Abstract

This study investigates the revitalization and preservation of indigenous Ghanaian textiles in contemporary fashion design, emphasizing their cultural significance, economic potential, and modern challenges. Traditional textiles such as “kente”, “kete”, “adinkra”, and “fugu”/ “batakari” are central to Ghana’s cultural heritage, symbolizing identity and tradition. However, the industry faces hurdles including high production costs, competition from cheaper imports, and diminishing traditional knowledge among younger generations. Adopting a qualitative approach, the research utilized interviews, focus group discussions, and observations involving artisans, fashion designers, educators, and consumers. Findings reveal that despite the immense value of indigenous textiles, their integration into modern fashion is impeded by limited access to raw materials, fluctuating market demand, and inadequate artisan support. Innovative designers, however, are blending traditional textiles with contemporary trends, showcasing adaptability and global appeal. The study recommends strategies such as public education campaigns, financial and technical support for artisans, and stronger intellectual property protections. Promoting sustainable practices, addressing regional production disparities, and fostering designer-artisan collaborations are also key to the industry’s sustainability. This research underscores the role of Ghanaian textiles in economic empowerment and cultural preservation, advocating for a balanced approach that merges tradition with modern innovation to ensure global relevance and sustainability.

Abstract

This study examines the intricate cultural narratives and anthropological perspectives of Ghanaian society as it navigates the waters of globalization. Ghana, with its rich tapestry of ethnic groups, languages, and traditions, presents an ideal context to explore the tension between tradition and modernity. This research delves into key anthropological concepts, such as kinship systems, ritual practices, and identity formation, using qualitative methodologies including interviews and participant observation. Findings reveal that while globalization exerts significant influence, many Ghanaians actively engage with their cultural heritage, balancing modernization with traditional values. This study contributes to the broader anthropological discourse on cultural adaptation and preservation, highlighting the role of community resilience in maintaining identity amidst changing socio-economic landscapes. The implications of these findings underscore the need for ongoing research into how Ghanaian society can continue to bridge the gap between its historical roots and contemporary realities.
