Other members of the public will have a chance to also participate in interviews. From the findings, the correlation coefficient (0.816) shown a strong positive relationship between urbanization and wetland management. This was statistically significant at 95% confidence internal since the P-value (0.00) was less than 0.05 at 95% level of significance and therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there was no relationship between urbanization and wetland management.
