Item Appraisal of Residential Land Value Determinants in Ibadan South-East Local Government, Nigeria(Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, 2016) Bako, A.I.; Ibrahim, R.B.; Raheem, W.M.; Olawoyin, O.R.This study evaluates residential land values in Ibadan south east local government. It examines relationship between the determinants of residential land value and the existing value of land in the study area. The study used primary data which were obtained through random sampling techniques of 446 households in the three residential densities of the study area. Descriptive statistics in form of frequencies and percentages were used to assess land value characteristics, while correlations analysis was used to examine residential land value determinant in order to determine their strength of association. Findings from the correlation analysis revealed that the variables that have highest relationship with residential land value are closeness to infrastructure and availability of parking space (r=0.992). This was followed closely by neighbourhood status and size of the plot (r=0.991). Easy accessibility and distance from place of work (r=0.983) are also noted to be of high significance in the determinant of residential land value. They were also found to significant at 99 percent confidence level. Result also show that nearness to CBD and selling price for one plot of land have correlation coefficient (r) of 0.998. This implies that there is very high positive correlation between nearness to CBD and selling price (value) of one plot of land. It is also observed that there is significant relationship between nearness to CBD and price of one plot of land P<0.05=0.000. The study recommends among others the need for planners to consider the determinants of land values in planning for optimum use of landItem Appraisal of Travel Behaviour of Public Road Transport Users in Oshogbo, Nigeria.(Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria., 2015) Ibrahim, R.B.; Raheem, W.M.; Abdulraheem, M.O.This study examines the travel behaviour of public road transport passengers in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. It examines passengers’ travel characteristics, operators’ and passengers’ travel challenges, and differences in the passengers’ travel characteristics. The study used primary data which were obtained through structured questionnaire administered to 10 percent of 2,560 passengers. The 256 respondents were from four purposively selected motor parks in the study area. Frequency and percentages were used to analyze travel characteristics and challenges, while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to examine differences in the travel characteristics of passengers. The study revealed that, the average age of passengers was between 31-45 years, while average income ranges between N18,000 –N25,000. Average passengers’ waiting time for cab was less than 15 minutes, while average travel frequency was 8 times per week. Between 20 -40 minutes was the average travel time per trip and 1.5 kilometers was average travel distance per passenger. Accidents, vehicle malfunction and frequent stops were the major challenges faced by passengers. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) shows that there is no significant difference in the travel characteristics across the selected motor parks in the study area. The study recommended pragmatic strategies such as the provisions of more cabs, fare subsidies, pegging of age limit for drivers of public transport among others. This will enhance a more efficient public transport system in the study area.Item Appraisal of Travel Behaviour of Public Road Transport Users in Osogbo, Nigeria(Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2015) Ibrahim, R.B.; Raheem, W.M.; Abdulraheem, M.O.This study examines the travel behaviors of public road transport passengers in Osogbo, Osun State Nigeria.

It is against this backdrop that this paper examines the urbanization trends in Ilorin, Nigeria. The data used for the study were obtained from secondary sources. Some of these data include population growth of Ilorin since pre-colonial era, annual population growth, spatial expansion of Ilorin between 1960 and 2010; and Built-up area of Ilorin from 1986-2006. Findings from this study show that the spatial expansion of the study area was propelled by rapid population growth i.e. in 1931 the total population of the town was 100,592, it grew to 208,546 in 1963, while in 1991 Ilorin population was confirmed to be 532,088 by the National Population Commission and it is believed that by the year 2020 the population of Ilorin will reach 3,518,771 based on projection. Moreover with the spate of the growing population, demand for land to build houses was on the increase, thereby causing the physical growth of the study area. For instance the built-up area of study area was 1235.84 Ha in 1960, and in 1980 it was 3170.24Ha and in 2010 the physical built-up area reached 14,306.71Ha. In addition, the study revealed that as the built up area is increasing due to population growth, the land consumption is also increasing, for instance the land consumption rates in hectare of land use was 0.0054 in year 2003 and in year 2012 it has reached 0.0091. The study recommends integrated National programmes for spatial distribution of population and to this effect priority consideration should be given to the preparation of master plan which will make provision for a more equitable system of distribution of development in all areas. This will no doubt address the issue of rapid urbanization and thereby enhance sustainability of the city.
