Abstract
The new challenge of the century is the development of sustainable projects. It is crucial to consider integrated solutions to evaluate project consequences at the social, geographical, physical, ecological, and technological levels in a future where climate hazards will increase owing to anthropogenic activities. As a result, the topic of this paper is the creation of a hybrid methodology for evaluating the aforementioned implications. The "Okyena for a Free Future" project in Manso Abore, in Ghana's Ashanti region, is used as a case study for the methodology. OFF proposes the construction of a school hub that can accompany the entire community towards social and economic development while also taking climate resilience and adaptation measures into consideration. In this environment , perhaps more than in others, the necessity to provide actions that can contribute to community expansion without compromising the development of future generations is clear. The A'WOT model, together with other assessment methods like Stakeholder Analysis and Scenario Building, enables taking multiple factors into account at once to handle the world's increasing complexity. By doing so, it is feasible to highlight the perspectives of the key players and provide decision-makers with a logical foundation for choice dilemmas involving various, frequently at odds objectives. By assessing the viability of implementing NBS solutions, the model aims to facilitate the deployment of alternative techniques.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
