Item Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED): The Role of Architecture(Department of Surveying and Geomatics, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2020-12) Aina, Emmanuel Oloruntoba; Olorunsaiye, Olorunfemi Samuel; Maiyekogbon, Toyosi David; Alimi, Rasheed KolawoleSince the turn of the century, studies have consistently shown that one of the most underexplored form of crime prevention is architecture. As human dwellings evolve, so does the need for more sophisticated security measures to keep the occupants safe without interfering with their way of life and living experience. It becomes even more imperative that architecture practitioners inculcate practical security measures into every building from conception and follow up to ensure implementation. In Nigeria, however, the application of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has been limited due to some established factors. The study seeks to explore the architectural solutions to crimes and security challenges peculiar to Nigeria, through the application of CPTED theory. Specific focus was placed on Ilorin, Kwara State. Review of existing literature was employed to carry out this study. This study concludes that environmental criminology should be utilized at the planning stage of design to ascertain reasonably foreseeable crimes by looking at official and unofficial records and patterns. An accurate adaptation through architecture will help to prevent crime, reduce the fear of crimes and promote a sense of the communityItem An Evaluation of the Appropriateness of Methods of Valuing Residential Properties in Sub-Urban Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria(Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, 2019-11) Alimi, Rasheed Kolawole; Ayedun, Caleb Abiodun; Bello, Nurudeen Akinsola; Agava, Yusuf HalimThe study examined the approaches often adopted for the valuation of rural residential properties of Nigeria using Ugbe and Arigidi Akoko areas of Ondo State, Nigeria as the case study. The study was set out to determine which of the method(s) of valuation is the most appropriate for valuing residential properties in rural areas in the developing economy such as Nigeria. To achieve the aim of the study, the physical inspections of two residential properties were carried out, one in Arigidi Akoko and Ugbe Akoko in Ondo State. The data collected via the inspections were used in calculating the values using different methods. The study reveals that of all the methods of valuation, investment method is the most appropriate because the value derived is a function of the rent. Comparative method is inappropriate because property rarely changes hand in the rural areas while the cost method jack up property values to a level that the market cannot support. The figure of years purchase which is a multiplier is difficult to calculate because the yield which determines the years purchase is a function of analysis of sales transaction which is rare. There is little difference in construction cost in rural and urban areas whereas values between the two show wide disparity. The study recommends even distribution of projects by governments, organisations, religious bodies etc. Development projects act as catalyst which speeds up the rate of development which brings about influx of people thereby resulting in upward movement of rent and property values.

Using a structured self-administered questionnaire, the data was duly collected from one hundred and seventy-eight project managers/managers of construction organisations. Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) technique was employed; the data was analysed using Smart-PLS 2.0 M3 software statistical package. Results of this study revealed that all the dimensions of technology readiness namely; optimism, waste recycling and waste reduction were highly relevant. Adequate level of internal consistency reliability, convergent validity and discriminant validity for each of the construct of the construction waste management were established. Based on the results, it is recommended that the CWM instrument could be useful for measuring all the constructs of construction waste management among construction organisations for the achievement of efficient and correct operative construction waste management practice.

A.; Omodo, E.; Alimi, Rasheed KolawoleItem Infrastructure Condition Model as a Measure of Property Investment Performance in Ilorin: The Contemporary Approach(Faculty of Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria., 2022-03) Adeogun, Adekunle Sunday; Ibrahim, R. B; Agava, H. Y; Alimi, Rasheed KolawoleItem Infrastructure Condition Model as a Measure of Property Investment Performance in Ilorin; The Contemporary Approach(Faculty of Engineering and Environmental Sciences, Osun State University, Osogbo, Nigeria., 2022-03) Adeogun, Adekunle Sunday; Ibrahim, Rafiu Babatunde; Agava, Yusuf Halim; Alimi, Rasheed Kolawole; Gombwer, Nenrot WuyokweInfrastructure stands out as one of the indicators of an ideal urban economic development and its role creates attraction for all forms of investments including real estate investment. This study examined the infrastructure condition model; which serves as a measure of property investment returns in Ilorin; the Kwara State capital. The study employed an exploratory research design. The sample frame was 1,228 and a model was used given 984 as sample size, and these questionnaires were administered through stratified sampling technique and only 664 questionnaires were completed and returned, representing 67% of the total sample size. The study utilised both descriptive and inferential statistical methods of data analysis. The result of descriptive analysis of the performance of property investment revealed that a comparable average return across the study areas in Ilorin differed; ranging from 10% to 25%. The result of the infrastructure condition index developed through the scoring analysis based on descriptive modelling revealed a relative condition index of between 60% and 61% in Ilorin. The result of an inferential method using correlation to establish the relationship between infrastructure condition index and property investment return revealed that 7(seven) infrastructure maintained perfect significant correlation with property investment performance at p-value less than 0.05 level of significance. The result of regression modelling revealed that 60.4% variation in property performance is explained by seven infrastructures. Therefore, the study concluded that the performance of property investment is impressive in the areas where there is a frequent market transaction with better infrastructure conditions which is strongly influenced by constant potable water with a correct system of road networks, security, drainage system and streetlight. The study recommends that real estate investors wishing to embark on real estate investment projects should make it a point of duty to be conversant with the functionality of infrastructure in human sustainability and real estate investment growth.

OItem A Study of the Effect of Personality Characteristics on the Effectiveness of Construction Project Managers Performance(Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, 2020-06) Alimi, Rasheed Kolawole; Ayedun, Caleb Abiodun; Alao, Rasheed OlamideThe study is aimed at studying the effect of personal characteristics (extraversion) on the effectiveness of construction Project Managers with a view to determining whether personality has any effect on the Project Managers’ performance. The study was carried out using two sets of questionnaires consisting of Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) Adult Form and structured questionnaire to sample respondents’ personality and measure their effectiveness respectively. The study revealed that personal characteristics is a feature of every construction project manager in the study. However, extraverted construction project managers constitute 64% of the respondents while introverted construction project managers constitute 36%. It was revealed that the three areas where the respondents are more effective in order of ranking are effectiveness of meeting clients’ requirements in term of functionality of projects; effectiveness in terms of delivering the projects in terms of required quality standard; and effectiveness in terms of resolving conflict after occurrence before threatened project objectives which ranked first, second and third respectively. The study found out that there is a negative relationship between extraversion and effectiveness. The test of statistical significance using standard error and t-test showed no relationship between the variables. The t-value calculated (-0.297) is less than the t-tabulated (6.314) held at 0.05 significant level. Also, the Alpha value (0.769) is greater than the -p value (0.0). It is recommended that another research should be carried out if they have impact on Construction Project Manager's effectiveness.Item A Study of the Effect of Personality Characteristics on the Effectiveness of Construction Project Managers Performance(Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, 2020-06) Alimi, Rasheed Kolawole; Ayedun, Caleb Abiodun; Alao, Rasheed OlamideThe study is aimed at studying the effect of personal characteristics (extraversion) on the effectiveness of construction Project Managers with a view to determining whether personality has any effect on the Project Managers performance.
