Item Urban Sprawl and the Challenges of Physical Development Planning in the North-Central Part of Nigeria(The International Journal of the Constructed Environment, 2020-08-03) Junaid, A. M., Abdulraheem, M. O., & Adeleye, B. M.Abstract: The world is witnessing a rapid rate of urbanization and Nigeria is one of the rapidly urbanizing nations of Africa. This study examined the problem of urban sprawl in Nigeria with particular reference to the Yanyan–Mararaba–Masaka road corridor along the Abuja–Keffi highway in the North Central part of Nigeria. The research monitored urban sprawl in the area using the Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM+) images of 2002, 2007, 2012 and 2017. The study revealed a high rate of physical development in the area with an annual growth rate of 15.3 percent within the 2007–2012 period. The built- up area increased from 31.07 km2 to 54.50 km2 representing 76.38 percent magnitude of growth in five years. The nature of sprawl development in the area featured both dense/compact developments in the growth corridor along the Abuja–Keffi road as well as dispersed, leap frogging developments in the far hinterland of the road. The negative effects of the sprawl development include flood plain occupation, poor waste management, poor environmental conditions, and slum development. Amongst others, the study recommended proactive urban planning, urban renewal, and the establishment of an autonomous joint physical planning taskforce to manage the sprawl so as to achieve orderly and inclusive urban growth in the area.

D.; Olawale A.AThis research explores the influence of residential mobility on commercial real estate investment decisions in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Residential mobility, reflecting the frequency and patterns of household relocations, significantly affects the dynamics of urban environments and, consequently, commercial real estate markets. The study employed a qualitative approach with selection of ten stakeholders in the real estate development and property market in Minna. Data were collective via semi-structured interview centred on four research questions towards achieving the research objective. The collected data were analysed with the aid of thematic content analysis. The findings indicate that high residential mobility in certain neighbourhoods like Bosso, Fadikpe and Maitumbi correlates with increased commercial real estate activity, driven by the demand for retail shops, office, and service-oriented spaces catering to a transient population. Conversely, areas with low residential mobility like Barikin Sale and Sauka Kahuta exhibits slower commercial development, often due to a stable but limited consumer base. Stability and risk management, opportunity and growth potential, and demographic influence on investment decisions are the elements of residential mobility indicating investment in commercial property development in the study area. The study concludes that decision to invest in commercial real estate is indeed influenced by residential mobility; though in relation to other outlying factors like finances, demand for commercial properties and economic prospects among other. Stakeholders and investors in the commercial real estate are recommended to always conduct in-depth market research, concentrate on stable neighbourhoods, make use of demographic information, keep an eye on urban and economic growth, and interact with local stakeholders in a bid to make more informed and strategic decisions that align with both global trends and local realities.Item Impact of Urban Expansion on Agricultural Land in Minna, Niger State Nigeria(Proceedings of the 5th School of Environmental Technology International Conference (SETIC 2024), October, 2024, 2024) Muhammad Halima; Haruna D. MusaArable agricultural land has been threatened by many factors among which is rapid rate of urbanization. The study assessed the impact of urban expansion on agricultural land towards sustainable land use policy in Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Remote sensing data provided useful estimations of agricultural land loss on a regional scale. Satellite data of period from 2000-2020 were collected to analyze the extent of land change dynamics in Minna and to determine the impact of changing pattern of urban expansion on agricultural land in Minna. Remote sensing image processing, supervised classification technique using a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithm was employed based on five land use (Agricultural land, built-up area, bare surface, Natural vegetation, water bodies) classes. The analysis results reveal a decline in agricultural land and increase in the built-up area indicating an encroachment on agricultural land. The result shows a significant modification in land use landcover observed as agricultural lands underwent noticeable decline by 20.816km2 whereas built up area increased substantially by a value of 37.23km2. The land use landcover projection result revealed that 76% of urban expansion will result in 24% of agricultural land loss by year 2030 in Minna. In conclusion, the urban expansion has significant impact on agricultural land loss in the study area. Overcoming urban encroachment into agricultural lands requires adequate policy formulations amenable to sustainable urban planning and development. The results highlight the need for policy makers and synergies between urban and land management authorities, as well as the Ministry of Agriculture to implement policies to protect agricultural land.Item "Location".(Department of Urban and Regional.University of Ibadan, 2016-01-02) Ayangbile, O.

Adesina, and Joseph O.Abstract Suleja has been witnessing rapid developmental changes in terms of physical landscape, city growth and urban sprawl since the movement of the Federal Capital Territory in 1991. This study examines the dynamics of urban growth, land consumption rate and forecast the future land risk in Suleja. The data source for the research was the documented materials as historical records and topographic map of Suleja which was collected from the Ministry of Lands and Survey, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria, Satellite imagery of the study (Enhance Thematic Mapper (ETM) 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2018) over a period of 18 years was analyzed to determine Land consumption trends. Thus, it was observed that Suleja population is growing steadily, the available land for both vegetation and built up are being consumed gradually and grown at 16% in 2018 while built-up at 13.6%. This research proposed that to maintain sustainable land management, valuable plots on the major and strategic locations has to be redesigned for ‘fit-for purpose’, immediately update of the existing master plan and adoption of computerized land records (GIS) for proper land registration and titling in the Suleja be provided.

This study examines households and neighbourhoods’ responses to household burglary in Ibadan, Nigeria. In-depth interviews and household questionnaires were the primary data collection tools. A cross- sectional survey design was adopted while a multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 299 respondents. Analysis of Variance confirmed the research hypothesis which suggested that burglary crimes committed differ significantly among residential neighbourhoods (F=3.012). Burglary occurred mostly in houses that were accessed through footpaths. Furthermore, females reported witnessing burglaries more than males. Neighbourhood responses to burglary include the use of gates, private security outfits and local vigilante groups. Individual households relied on burglary proof windows and door; broken bottles and wire fencing for protection. The intensity of crime in suburban areas impacts residential relocation and property values. Neighbourhood planning and good housing design remain other means through which easy accessibility by burglars can be prevented.

The pattern of trip distribution is a basic tool necessary for planning formation and implementation in the transportation system. The problem of transportation within a township can only be resolved when proper and effective information on transportation is available. Bida township will contribute immensely to the scarce knowledge if a base is available for transportation planning. A mobility survey was conducted with a structured questionnaire designed and administered at various defined destinations; questionnaires were collected in trip count, generation and attraction at each zone. The town is divided into four zones: Zone 1 (include the institutional areas consist of Federal Polytechnic and College of Administration and Business study(CABS), Zone 2 (include the Wadata/Local Government Area; the administrative area of Bida town), Zone 3 (Federal Medical Centre/School of Nurse Area; the zone consists of public institutions). The trip production and the relative attractiveness for days (Monday and Friday; the hours)in December 2009 are generated. The inter-zonal travel times were calculated using the gravity model. The research revealed that landuse is a determinant factor; there exists a high level of attractiveness in Eso FMC/School of Nursing and Bida Poly/Cabs, respectively. With Esso haven thee the highest level of attraction of 332.51(50.34%), being a commercial landuses, followed by institutions.
