Mixed-methods survey shows improved air quality and satisfaction in eco-cities, suggesting scalability for broader application.
The adoption of eco-cities models in coastal Kenyan towns aims to address environmental degradation and improve community living conditions. A mixed-methods survey approach was employed, combining quantitative data from questionnaires with qualitative insights through interviews to gather comprehensive information. Community members reported a significant improvement in air quality (75% of respondents) and water cleanliness (60% of respondents), indicating the model's effectiveness in enhancing environmental conditions. The eco-city model has been well-received by communities, with high levels of satisfaction noted across various aspects including green spaces and waste management initiatives. Future research should investigate long-term sustainability impacts and explore scalability of the eco-city model to other coastal areas in Kenya.
