Item Impact of Neighbourhood Quality on Residential Land Value in Minna, Niger State(Centre for Human Settlements and Urban Development, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria., 2018-05-23) Shuaibu, S. I.; Ajayi, M. T. A.; Medayese, S. O.; Agava, Y. H.; Alonge, D. O.An Ideal neighbourhood is often characterized by availability of electricity, road network, drainage/sewage, health care facilities, educational facilities, telecommunication, pipe borne water, shopping centre, recreational centres, and most importantly security. In a neighbourhood where all the features abound, high land value will be attracted. This implies that, the quality of neighbourhood plays a significant role in land value determination in any community. In the light of this, the qualities of three selected neighbourhoods in Minna were assessed. Neighbourhood survey forms were administered in each of the selected neighbourhoods using the quality index of Housing Consumption, Connection Characteristics, Site Characteristics and Location Characteristics. The trends in residential land value in the selected neighbourhoods were also appraised. Analysis of variance was carried out to examine the difference in the price of land across the three selected between 2010 and 2014. The study also reveals that Kpakungu neighbourhoods have the poorest rating amongst the other two neighbourhoods (Tunga and F-Layout). The study also recommends that infrastructures should be systematically increased with the present rate of urbanization in the neighbourhoods and that urban renewal scheme should be embarked upon to improve the neighbourhood quality of Kpakungu.Item Impact of Neighbourhood Quality on Residential Land Value in Minna, Niger State.(Centre for Human Settlements and Urban Development, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State, Nigeria., 2018-05-12) Shuaibu, S.

O.; Olorunfemi, J. F.; Ajibade, L. T.; Agava, Y. H.Previous studies have long-established a strong relationship between neighbourhood and the kind of environment to which and individual has been exposed and life chances available to him. Attributes of neighbourhoods and the experience provided have been found to affect people’s capabilities in terms of their ideas, achievements in life, as well as their socio-economic development. This has made studies on neighbourhood preferences attractive. This paper is an attempt to identify the category of and preference for neighbourhoods by residents in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara State, Nigeria. Data used were collected through a systematic random sampling of 334 households with the aid of structured questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse and present data. Finding of the study revealed that 38% of the households had preference for the high income residential neighbourhoods irrespective of ethnic background or level of income. That neighbourhood preference is not dependent on socio-economic status or background of individuals but on perception of the attributes of a neighbourhood. However, the study confirmed that the actual ability to reside in the preferred residential zones is highly determined by socio-economic factors such as the level of income. The study recommends recreating the kind of layouts that exist in the high income residential zones in all other neighbourhoods within the city by stakeholders. However, in the course of recreation, government should endeavour to embark on urban renewal projects in the core traditional area housing most of the low income neighbourhoods, though citizens participation must be garnered to ensure that government projects are supported by the ultimate end users.
