“…It is argued that the process of peri-urbanism is characterised by changing local economic and employment structures, from agriculture to manufacturing (Hudala et al, 2008). However, observation from the study areas indicates that the process of peri-urbanism in the study areas is not characterised by the concentration of heavy industrial activities as compared to other peri-urban areas in the world (Bah et al, 2003;Mandere et al, 2010;Narrain & Nischah, 2007).…”

This study examines household responses to livelihood transformation in the Kumasi peri-urban area. The main tools used in the data collection are household survey, key informants interviews and focus group discussions. Quantitative data are presented using tables, graphs and charts while direct quotations from respondents are used to present qualitative data. The study identifies both farm and non-farming livelihood strategies as the main livelihood strategies households adopt in the study communities. The study shows that most households rarely depend on one strategy to survive. However, non-farming households have more diversified livelihood strategies than farming households. The social network support base is also identified to play a very important role in the livelihood of respondents. Since farming still remains a very important component of livelihood strategies in the communities, some form of sanity needs to be injected in the land market. The study thus recommends a speed up work on the urban policy while the land policy needs to be fully implemented. The Land Administration Project must also be fast-tracked to bring harmony in the land market. Moreover, interventions to provide alternative means of livelihood to farmers who have lost their farm lands due to urbanisation can be made. Building the capacity of the peri-urban poor through skills training and access to credit and infrastructure facilities is a viable option. This will ensure a proper integration of peri-urban dwellers into urban monetary economy.

“…Mixed development in the peri-urban area can create problems, notably environmental degradation, a lack of infrastructure, and social conflict (Nkwae, 2006). Studies on the peri-urban areas have mostly focused on the implications for their planning and management (Hudalah et al, 2007;Legates & Hudalah, 2014), and looking at the interface between the urban and rural activities (Allen, 2006, Mattingly, 1999, Simon, McGregor, & Thompson, 2006. Webster, Cai, and Muller (2014), based on their research in East Asia, have shown the characteristic of peri-urban area as a place of transformation in socio-economic structure that largely driven by manufacturing and foreign capitals.…”

“…The term peri-urbanisation is used to describe the urbanisation in the countryside, creating peri-urban area, mainly due to the migration of the urban population to rural areas to get a better living environment (Olivieau, 2005;Woltjer, 2014), and the migration of the people of surrounding rural areas into the peri-urban. Across the developing East Asia, periurbanisation has become the greatest challenge for planners (Hudalah, Winarso, & Woltjer, 2007). The peri-urban areas can be seen as a major arena where innovative planning and governance approaches are carried out to deal with fragmentation of spatial and institutional landscapes (Legates & Hudalah, 2014).…”

“…The urban periphery cannot be exclusively regarded as a space for agricultural production for urban markets (Hudalah, Winarso, & Walter, 2007;Ayenew et al, 2011;Gant, Robinson, & Fazal, 2011). In this sense, peri-urban agriculture must adapt to cope with the challenges imposed by global agricultural markets, changes in the urban middle class diet and pressures to change land uses (Cavailhes & Wavresky, 2003;Crossman, Brett, Ostendorf, & Collins, 2007).…”
