    Effect of Demographic Features on Household Residential Mobility in Bida
    (School of Environmental Technology International Conference 2024 (SETIC 2024),School of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State Nigeria, 2024) Samuel j.; Kemiki O.A.; Ajayi M.T.A.; Musa H. D.; Olawale A.A.
    This study examined the impact of demographic characteristics on household residential mobility in Bida, Nigeria. Residential mobility, a critical aspect of urban dynamics, is influenced by various demographic factors including age, income, education level, household size, and employment status. Through a descriptive survey approach, the study administered questionnaires on 385 residents of selected neighbourhoods in the study area with 276 questionnaires, indicating 83.6, returned valid for analysis. The collected data were analysed descriptively with frequency tables, percentage distribution and mean values. Findings of the study indicated a steady pattern of residential mobility across the selected neighbourhoods with high income earners more susceptible to mobility than their low-income counterparts. It was further observed that highly educated and younger households exhibit greater mobility, often seeking improved housing conditions and employment opportunities. In contrast, lower-income households tend to have lower mobility rates, constrained by economic limitations and affordability issues. This implies that economic demographic feature (income, employment and home ownership status) is more effective than social features (age, marital status, religion, cultural and social ties) in determining residential mobility (weighted mean score of 3.55 for social features and 3.66 for economic features). The study highlights the importance of understanding demographic influences on residential mobility to inform urban planning and housing policies aimed at fostering equitable and sustainable urban development by concluding that demographic features indeed influence residential mobility pattern over time. The need for policy formulation, such as improvement of economic possibilities, encouragement of affordable house ownership, and the promotion of education and skill development, are recommended.

    Assessment of Solid Waste Management Systems in Ibadan North, Oyo State Using Geo-Spatial Techniques
    (The Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management., 2015-10-28) Popoola, A. A., Ayangbile, O. A. and Adeleye, B. M.,
    Solid waste management has been part of human activities right from time. Effort by the Oyo State Government in managing the collection and disposal of waste generated in Ibadan is seen in the provision of Skip bins at specific locations across the city. However, despite the provisions made by the government, an emerging trend is the dumping of refuse along the median of some major and collector roads in the city. This study aims at emphasizing a planning framework for the location of solid waste disposal infrastructure (Skip bins) through the adoption of planning standard. The aim of this study was achieved by identifying the existing skip bins within Ibadan North. More so, a spatial analysis of skip bins and resident's access to solid waste facilities within Ibadan North was deduced. Geospatial techniques were used for this study; data from primary and secondary source were also used to corroborate the geospatial findings. The study identified a total of 37 skip bins located within Ibadan North Local Government, serving the entire Ibadan North. Spatial analysis of the skip bins revealed a clustered distribution which is consequential to indiscriminate solid waste disposal within Ibadan North. The study recommends adequate provision and location of skip bins to contribute to a cleaner and safer environment and a design blue print for Ibadan North was proposed.

    LOOD VULNERABILITY: IMPENDING DANGER IN SABON-GARI MINNA, NIGER STATE, NIGERIA
    (The Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management, 2016-01-09) Adeleye, B. M. and Ayangbile, O. A.
    This study examines the vulnerability of buildings to flooding and the danger posed at Sabo Gari area of Minna, Niger State. Sabon-Gari which is one of the 22 neighborhoods found in Minna is a highly populated area as people who cannot afford to stay in the low density areas (Government Reserve Area - G.R.A) move to this area in search for cheap accommodation and this has created a lot of housing need amongst the resident of Sabon- Gari. High demand for housing in the study area has prompted the landowners and developers to develop their properties with little or no regard for Government approved codes and standards. Indiscriminate development and erection of buildings along water ways make the inhabitants of such buildings highly vulnerable to flooding during high precipitation. A quick bird image which is a panchromatic of 65 centimeter pixel resolution was used for the study. A vulnerability assessment was carried out using ArcGis 10 software and a vulnerability map was prepared showing the vulnerable buildings within the study area. The coping strategies employed by the inhabitants ofSabon-Gari were also identified through Questionnaires administered. The buildings along the river channels were marked and the study reveals that danger looms in the study area with respect to flood.The result of analysis suggests that quick mitigating efforts be put in place to avert and or reduce this impending disaster. Hence, certain structures on waterways needs to be demolished, silted drainages should be cleared and stiffer measure be put in place by law enforcement agency to check the problem of indiscriminate waste disposal in drainages.

    Assessment of Time Budgeting and Activity Pattern of Rural Women in Rural Development and Planning. Case study of Rafi Local Government area, Niger State
    (Ilorin Journal of Business and Social Sciences.Faculty of Business and Social Science, University of Ilorin, 2009) Haruna Danladi Musa; Solomon N. Jiya
    A balanced participation of both genders results in a more comprehensive approach to issues of development. Indeed, their living conditions are more widely taken into account, thus leading to improved measures and their enhanced acceptance of rural development decisions. Decision-making has to be comprised of both men and women in a proportion, if the decisions made is to be valid. Women are the most threatened by the dangers that stem from global warming, war, disaster, etc. Therefore, defending the full range of women's human rights within the context of gender equality in addressing issues of spatial development is essential both to protecting women themselves and to cultivating their capacity for leadership, which so many lives depend on. Using questionnaire technique, 150 women from 10 district heads of Rafi Local government area of Niger state were interacted with to elicit information on the relationship between time budgeting and activity pattern of rural women in rural development and planning. The questionnaire probed into the background of each woman, such as age, educational qualification, occupation, monthly income and average percentage of income spent on family expenses. The study revealed that rural income is generally low because of the low level of social and economic activities. In a community where there is no supply of electricity and water, and the roads are almost impassable, it would be impossible for any meaningful economic activity to operate. Policy on the planning of the area should include the provision of social facilities and the establishment of industries capable of, among others, processing farm products.
