    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.

    Modelling Urban Sprawl along Minna Western Bye-Pass Using Remotely Sensed Data.
    (Maiduguri Journal of Art and Social Sciences (MAJASS), 2010) Bala Banki M.; Musa, Haruna D.
    Many state capitals today in Nigeria are witnessing unprecedented populations growth and increasing rate of urbanization that are deficient in indispensable infrastructural facilities’, urban planners who are meant to have the knowledge of future urban growth and the multi-dimensional factors which has hitherto influence the growth of towns and cities are unaware of them because of the inefficiency of the traditional surveying method. In view of this prevailing scenario in Nigeria, this paper presents the Capability of using Remote Sensing GIS and spatial statistics in modeling urban sprawl along Minna Western Bye-pass. Data for the study were obtained through questionnaires and satellite imagery. The analysis of the field survey revealed that low price of land, lack f basic utility facilities in the area, low level of awareness of development control and low level of education of inhabitants were the major causal factors of sprawl in these areas. The analysis of the time series spatial data such GIS, SPOT HR image acquired in 1993 and Landsat ETM image acquired in 2007 shows that low density sprawl/ and ribbon sprawl patterns are the patterns identifiable and synonymous to this areas, comparison of data set for the two dates also revealed a change of 191,40 acres (77, 4571.14 sq. m.), representing 59% total landuse change over the same period, where the population grew by 111.61%, Spatial regression analysis was carried out to model the extent of sprawl in the area First, a simple linear regression analysis conducted using key factors identified (independent variables) and percentage of built-SOM up (POBUILT) for each area along the Bye-Pass (dependent variable) and results s how’s that the percentage of those who relocated because of low in price of land in the study area (LOPLAND) and percentage of migrant in search for white-collar job (COLLARJOB) contribute more to the explanator power of the model. Multiple regression analysis was finally done by regressing LOPLAND, population of year 200)7 / Independent variable and POBUILT, dependent variable. to fashion out an equation that can forecast future sprawl, and it was established that built-up area for 2021 will be 3,888,23acres, which reveals excessive future spatial development along the bve- pass.
