5. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE EMPLOYED
•The Systematic Sampling technique was used for this
survey.
•By this method, the Kth house= sample frame/ sample
size. Where ,Sample frame is the total number of
elements in the study area.
Sample size is also the selected elements upon which our
analysis is based. It is equal to the number of
questionnaires administered. Therefore,

This implies that there will be
pressure on the working population
which is 46% as against 54%
unemployed.
Source: Field Survey-2014
54% of the working population are
agricultural producers, mainly crop farming.
Sales, services, artisan and pensioners
constitute 46%.
This implies that our policies should be
directed towards improving agricultural
production but not neglecting other sectors.

• The average distance to the farm from the house is about 500-
800 meters
• The average farm size is 4.7 acres
• Major crops cultivated includes tomatoes, plantain, yam,
cocoyam, cocoa, maize etc.
• Mostly, farms are located outside the settlement.
• Average yield per season varies since there is no clear criteria
for measurement of their output
• No extension services.
• Market produce are mostly sent to the Bodomase and other
neighboring settlements or Kumasi at large.
• The major problem concerning agriculture in Aninangya has to
do with cost of production and the manipulation by Middle
men.
• Also, perishability of some produce in the area
42. 43
LAND TENURE SYSTEM INTHE
SETTLEMENT
The land ownership system in the community is generally the
family type.
The chief holds the land in custody for his people.
The land is leased for agricultural activities without payment for
natives.
However the migrants pay a token between 1000 and 2000
Ghana cedis before they can use the land.
As compared to the district where most of the land are Abusa.
The owner lease the land to the farmer and when the farmer
harvest the produce he gives one third to the land owner and
takes two third for himself.
46. POPULATION PROJECTION
METHODS
PREFERED METHOD OF POPULATION PROJECTION
•The Mathematical method will be used and the exponential model
under the method is selected.
•The exponential method is given by the formula;
Pt = Po*ert. Where:
Pt = Population at the end of the period.
Po = Population at the beginning of the period.
r = Constant rate of change.
t = Inter-censal period.
e = constant exponential value (2.718)
47
47. POPULATION PROJECTION CONT’D
MERITS OF PREFERED METHOD
The method requires few data
It is easier and convenient to compute
It is the best method to use when at least two
census years have been taken and there is no vital
registers
This method is useful for projections on short
term basis hence extrapolation over a five year
period makes it suitable.
It is a hybrid of the geometric and arithmetic
methods and corrects the anomalies of the methods.

• This pattern has effects on the vegetation and thus should be minimized
• Health threats related to use of charcoal and firewood
IMPLICATION FOR POLICY
• There is the need for awareness on replanting of trees to ensure
environmental sustainability.
• Other alternative sources of energy for cooking such as LPG should be
encouraged.
60. CONCLUSION
•The needs of Aninangya as have been assessed is
be very useful as it will inform our decision in
the formulation of our goals and objectives.
These goals are to be local goals because they
will be addressing the needs of Aninangya in
particular and Kumawu district as whole.

Participation is the involvement of the beneficiaries of our programs and projects of intervention to help us realize our goals and objectives.
A settlement can be considered rural or urban based on certain indicators. These are mostly population, economy, lifestyle and land use among others. As realized by the group, the above indicators explain the rural nature of the settlement.
Objectives are Specific, Measurable, Achievable Realistic and Time bound targets to be achieved over a short time to realize our goals.
Since planning is often described as a science, there is the need to adopt a process that will lead to the achievement of our goals and objectives. This made it necessary for the adherence to the above methodology.
ADVANTAGES
Accurately represent the population than the simple random sampling
Convenience
Suitability
Since planning is systematic, there is the need to adopt a process that will lead to the realization of our goals and objectives. The essence of the various stages are: 1. survey-To assess the current situation, 2. Analysis-To determine cause and effects, 3. Plan formulation-Alternatives and role casting 4. Plan implementation-Action 5. Evaluation-Stock taking and feedback.
It is about 1hour 20 minutes drive from Kumasi.
Aninangya shares boundaries with only two settlements and a stream.
To the north is Bodomase
To the South-East is River Takyi
To the south-west is Woraso
There are suitable temperatures, ranges from 25-26 degree celsuis. The rainfall pattern is double maxima and ranges between 1200-1400 mm. the soil type is LITHIC LIPTOSOL (Which is very good for agricultural produc
Settlements are human centered and since no man is an island, there is the need to ascertain the relationships between Aninangya and the neighboring communities.
The base map shows the existing land uses as at 2006 whiles the updated map shows the changes that have occurred over the years.
Growth from the core area is towards the South-eastern part of the settlement.
LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
Land uses that are compatible are grouped together; for example commercial (corner shop) and residential buildings.
Since the settlement is predominantly a farming community, there is no noticeable incompatibility.
IMPLICATION
Detached houses are preferred to other housing typologies
Total number of houses is 93
The average household size is 4.2
The average household per house is 2.5
Average number of persons per room is 2.1
Average number of habitable rooms is 3.5
Number of habitable rooms occupied is 3.1
is 10.5
The population is increasing slowly over the years at an average growth rate of 0.01 as against the district’s average growth rate of 3.5 (GSS,1984).
In terms of percentage the males constitute 48% as against the females 52%.
46 is illitrates thus those we asked during our questionnaires This implies that there will be difficulty in policy implementation if the indigenous language is not taken into consideration.
The 141 was the number of population considering from ages 11 and above.
There should be reservations in our plans for religious development.
Religious bodies serve as medium for information dissemination
It is often said that water is life hence its essence cannot be underestimated in plan preparation and emplementation.
The main source of energy for the people of Aninangya are of two main components. These are energy for fuel for domestic activities and energy for lighting. In terms of energy for lighting, the main source of energy for the people is through the use of electricity. The area has only one transformer with a capacity of 100 KVA. The frequent power cuts are the main limitations to the use of electricity as complained by the people. These frequent power outages causes harm to their electrical appliances.
On transportation, the main mode of transport within the settlement is by foot. However, to the adjoining areas they go by vehicle.

Low income against high expenditure means the people are poor.
The income level of the people enables us to know whether or not they can afford some facilities that will be provided.

IMPORTANCE OF POPULATION PROJECTION
Presents net results of interaction between components of population change over time.
Enables the integration of population variables into the planning process.
Helps in the provision of basic needs for the various sectors of the population.
A good source of population data in the absence of census data.
Among the methods such as
Mathematical Projection Method
Arithmetic Model- population grows in a linear form. Current pop+ net migrant +natural increase
Geometric Model- used wen rate is less than 5% and project less than 10 yrs. Increase and a decreasing rate.
Exponential Model
Economic Method- this takes into consideration other economic factors such as gold mining or other industrial activities.
Ratio Method-takn the population of ur settlements and a bigger nearby settlement
Component Method of Projection
Disadvantage, it does not take into consideration economic and social factors that influence the size and structure of the population
There was no backlog, hence housing wasn’t a problem quantitatively, however, housing was a problem qualitively considering that some of the house were dilapidated in particular.
Required= projected pop/ planning standards (2.5 persons per room)
The growth of housing in the area, is in the form of incremental development
The classrooms were adequate as per standards of 6 classrooms in Primary, 3 in JHS, they do not need more classrooms even at the end of the planning period.
The health centre in Woraso has some basic facilities , the absence of some major facilities in the area, eg: AMBULANCE, RECOVERY ROOMS, SA FACILITIES, AND TELEPHONE BOOTH will negatively affect health delivery in the area.
WATER IS LIFE, THE MAJOR SOURCE OF WATER IN THE AREA IS STREAM POSING THREAT TO THE LIFES OF THE PEOPLE. HENCE THE GROUP PROPOSED 2 PUBLIC STAND PIPES.
One hole to 50 persons for 500 population
THE TOILET FACILITY PROVIDED BY THE COMMUNTY IS IN A DIPLORABLE STATE HENCE THE GROUP PROPOSED A MODERN TOILET WITH 8 HOLES MAXIMUM.
THE DUMP SITE WAS UNKEMPT AND COULD ACCOUNT FOR THE HIGH INCIDENCE OF MALARIA IN THE COMMUNITY.
OVER DEPENDENCE ON FIREWOOD WILL POSE A THREAT TO THE FOREST IN THE AREA, NOT ONLY THIS, IT WILL INCREASE THE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING THROUGH EMITTING OF SMOKE.
THE SUCCESSFUL EVALUATION OF THESE NEEDS WILL HELP US IN THE FORMULATION OF GOALS AND OBJECTIVES TO TRANSFORM ANINANGYA INTO A VIBRANT ECONOMIC TOWN WHICH WILL ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE INTO THE SETTLEMENT.
