Understand the multiple factors that are required for a city to become sustainable, however,Īs the empirical study has shown, if residents are unaware of the sustainability, efforts to Additionally, the literature has shown that cities This awareness can lead people to a relational change inīehaviour towards the environment. Literature review indicated improving information and awareness are vital to ensure thatĬitizens understand what they need to do, why they need to do it, how they need to do it and Should be successful in increasing the awareness of city sustainability. If these recommendations are implemented, city management The awareness of residents of Nelson Mandela Bay concerning city sustainabilityĪdditionally, managerial recommendations, limitations to the study and a call for future Identify the key factors to improve Nelson Mandela Bay residents’ awareness of cityĪs such, the research problem – Nelson Mandela Bay residents are unaware of the factors that influence the sustainability of the city, as well as the RQM: How aware are Nelson Mandela Bay residents of the factors that influence the sustainability of the city? and ROM : To determine To determine the awareness of Nelson Mandela Bay residents of factors influencing Explain the components of the research methodology for this study. That affect residents’ awareness of sustainable cities. To conduct a review of existing sustainable city models and investigate the factors To determine the definitions of sustainable cities. The deliverables, based on the ROs, that this treatise achieved include: After anĮxploratory Factor Analysis was conducted, a tested model was proposed for measuring Used to measure the awareness levels of Nelson Mandela Bay residents in the study. Additionally, a conceptual model was constructed from the literature and The main objective of the study was to determine the Nelson Mandela Bay residents’Īwareness of city sustainability and explore what the factors are that influence awareness ofĬity sustainability.
The EFA indicated that the tested model, Model 2, is a suitable instrumentįor measuring Nelson Mandela Bay residents’ awareness of city sustainability. In addition, very few significant relationships were identified between demographic variablesĪnd the DV and IVs. (.001), Eco Awareness (.045), Eco Planning (.002), Citizen Centric Collaboration (.001), CitizenĬentric Investment (.011) and Citizen Centricity (.002), however, these were very low Independent variables, which showed positive correlation were: IV1: Recycling Awareness
Independent variables indicated low and negative (non-significant) results. The correlations between Nelson Mandela Bay Sustainability and the Nelson Mandela Bay Sustainability (Table 4.34) varied from low negative correlations to low positive correlations.
Pearson’s correlations between the independent variables and the dependent variable: All Cronbach’s Alpha scores were either acceptable, good or excellent. After these factors were removed, the Cronbach’s Alpha scores The limitations are that certain items were reversed or removed from the study due to
