    Adapting to Climate Change Flooding Impacts- A Guide for Achieving Sustainable Built Environment in Nigeria
    (Federal University of Technology, Minna, 2016) Nurudeen Akinsola BELLO; Adepoju, Adetoye Sulaiman ADEPOJU; Adekunle Sunday ADEOGUN
    Flooding is one of the climate change natural disasters generated by human activities which constitute a threat to human life, property and the built environment. Although risks from such cannot be fully eliminated, however, adaptation to climate change can reduce the exposure and vulnerability to extreme climate and sustain the built environment. This work surveyed literature on climate change flooding and its effects on Nigerian built environment to find out that most developed nations with longer water bodies and greater exposure to flooding disaster have been able to curtail the negative effects of climate change induced flooding over the years than Nigeria were able to minimize the negative effects of climate change flooding on their built environment whereas, Nigeria with comparable minimum and manageable length of water bodies continuously have higher negative impacts from flooding. The application of adaptation theory will mitigate against the effect of climate change flooding and lead to the achievement of a sustainable built environment in Nigeria. The work eventually recommended concerted efforts of all stakeholders in the built environment to cooperate among themselves for the actualization of gains of adaptation approach to climate change flooding in Nigeria towards achieving sustainable built environment.

    USING PLS-SEM TECHNIQUE IN ASSESSING INTEGRATED SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK IN ABUJA, NIGERIA
    (LAÜ Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi: UL Journal of Social Sciences Aralık, 2021-12) Adekunle Sunday ADEOGUN; Yusuf NASIDI; Olalekan Tolulope B., ADULOJU
    Abstract: Dwindling spaces for landfills in cities today has necessitated developing new ways of sustainably managing solid waste. However, sustainable waste management is guaranteed by adopting widespread recycling programmes such as integrated solid waste management systems (ISWM) that embraces 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle). Within the preceding context, this study is borne out and aimed at determining the impact of these 3Rs on long-term solid waste management. The study’s goals are based on the hypothesis that the 3Rs positively impact long-term solid waste management. In the light of the preceding, this research creates a theoretical structural model that depicts the impact of these 3Rs variables on Sustainable Solid Waste Management in Nigeria. Data were collected from 178 respondents, including waste management officers, organisations, and Abuja citizens. The obtained data were statistically measured with the Partial Least Square; Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM 2.0). Cronbach’s alpha values for the variables were higher than the industry standard of 0.7, indicating that the research instrument was reliable. With t-values of 2.182 and 7.435, respectively, waste reduction and waste recycling were strongly related to the sustainable management of solid waste except for reuse, which did not support sustainable solid waste management. All hypotheses were shown to be noteworthy at the 10% significance level. Thus, waste reuse, by implication, failed social acceptability. In contrast,waste recycling is acceptable and supportsthe concept of waste to wealth. The more the reduction of wastes, the most efficient and effective sustainable solid waste management is achievable.
