Diploma Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Urban and Regional Planning, grade: 2.74, , course: Estate Management, language: English, abstract: Increasing rate of urbanisation and inadequate attention given by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, Town and Country Planning Division, and Development Control Unit (Land Planning and Management Institutions), have led to the growth of unauthorised structures in Kumasi and it has affected spatial planning. This has destroyed the compatibility of various land uses, beauty, and health of the Metropolis. This project sought to find out the causes of unauthorised structures, identify the effect the growth of unauthorised structures, to examine the institutional arrangement for spatial planning, and to examine how the growth of unauthorised structures have affected spatial planning of Adum-Nsuase. A total number of 21 respondents were selected for the study. Questionnaires, interviews, and observations were used to collect information from the field. Factor analyses were used to establish the pattern of causes of growth of unauthorised structures in Adum-Nsuase. The sampling techniques that were adopted are; radom, snow ball and purposive sampling. The study found that, the causes of unauthorised structures in Adum-Nsuase are ignorance on building regulations and building permit on the part of landowners, increase in population, delays in approval of building permit, lack of sentisation by the KMA, the cost involved in acquiring building permit, and political and chieftaincy influences. Poor sanitation, armed robbery and theft, overcrowding, and noise making are the main challenges that occupants of Adum-Nsuase faces due to the construction of unauthorised structures. It is recommended that, Land Planning and Management Institutions have to embark on a massive sensitisation to the public on building regulation and building permit process. This will make the Metropolis achieve a compatible land uses us they have being aspiring for. The study recommended that, the Land Planning and Management Institutions have to be equipped with the needed resources to enable them function effectively. The Land Planning and Management Institutions have to be made autonomous, so that they can implement the law effectively without been under any undue influences and control.
