The study delved into the effects of urbanization on wetland waste management in Uganda, focusing on the case of Lubigi Wetland in Kampala. Despite wetlands covering only 6% of the Earth's surface, they face alarming degradation globally. The study aimed to contribute updated information on the effects of urbanization on wetland management in Uganda, emphasizing Lubigi Wetland. The main objective is to evaluate the effects of urbanization on wetland management, specifically in Lubigi Wetland. Specific objectives include identifying major urban land use activities affecting Lubigi Wetland, examining the implications of rapid urbanization on Bwaise Wetland, and exploring possible strategies to minimize these implications. The study employed a crosssectional survey design and storytelling approach, with data collected through oral interviews, questionnaires, observation, and data analysis. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis are used to interpret the findings. Findings reveal a significant negative correlation between rapid urbanization and Bwaise Wetland conservation, indicating a strong impact of urbanization on wetland degradation. The regression model quantifies this negative association, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the challenges associated with urbanization, such as increased settlement and encroachment on the wetland. The study suggests the need for comprehensive public education to raise awareness about wetland conservation and the consequences of unchecked urbanization. The study concluded that rapid urbanization has substantial implications for wetland conservation, as evidenced by the negative correlation and regression findings. Urgent strategic interventions and conservation measures are needed to counteract the adverse effects of urbanization and preserve the ecological integrity of Lubigi Wetland. The lower emphasis on awareness creation highlights a potential gap in understanding the broader consequences of unchecked urbanization on wetland ecosystems. The government is recommended to implement and enforce urban planning measures prioritizing ecological preservation, including zoning regulations and sustainable building practices.
