Item Development Drivers of Informal Waste Collection in Ibadan, Nigeria(Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, 2020) Ola, A. B; Raheem, W.A; Jimoh, M.Y; Suleiman, A.R; Raheem W.MThis paper examined the factors influencing the emergence and expansion of informal waste collection in waste management sector of Ibadan, Oyo State capital. Snowball sampling technique was used to identify and sample 253 informal waste collectors across the five municipal local government areas in the city. A pretested structure questionnaire was used to obtained information from the sampled informal waste collectors. Data collected were analysed using Relative Importance Index (RII), 8 x 8 correlation matrix and factor analysis. Eight major factors were identified as influencing the emergence and expansion of informal waste collection. RII showed that in ranked order of importance, they are: poverty; unavailability of better job; profitability; demand for waste management services; low start-up capital; ease of entry; pressure from parents and guardians and low-skill requirement. The correlation matrix indicated that all the factors correlated positively with one another. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sample Adequacy (KMO) value of 0.573 and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity of p≤ 0.001 established the adequacy of the variables loaded for the analysis. It is concluded that policies and programmes that will enhance integration of IWCs to municipal waste management scheme of the city and check child labour in the sector will go a long way in making the sector more effective in municipal waste managementItem Evaluation of On-Street Parking on Traffic Flow in Ilorin Central Business District, Ilorin, Nigeria.(Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, 2021) Suleiman, A.R; Raheem, W.M; Ola, A.B; Raheem, W.A; Jimoh, M.Y; Oladimeji, S.BThis Study evaluates on-street parking in Ilorin Central Business District (CBD), Ilorin, Kwara State. It examined the on-street vehicular parking mode and its impact on flow of traffic in the CBD. The study adopted a survey research design using the primary and secondary data sources. A sample frame of 4,543 respondents was determined through parking volumetric count that was conducted between 7: 00am to 7: 00pm. Questionnaire was administered to 354 motorists who parked their vehicles on the street, using accidental sampling techniques to elicit information on parking characteristics. All the six major roadways that criss-crossed the CBD were all selected for the study. Descriptive statistics tools was used to analyse the data while vehicle to capacity ratio was used to evaluate the impact of on-street parking on traffic flow. The study revealed that 57.9% of the respondents’ vehicles were parked on the street for the purpose of business and work. Further finding indicated that 61.4% of the motorists parked on the road curb because of inadequate or lack of off-street parking facilities in the city’s CBD. Traffic flow was stable in the four major roadways selected with the exception of Ibrahim Taiwo Road where traffic flow was not stable and queues developed rapidly as this contributed to traffic congestion along the road corridor. The paper recommends among others the provision of adequate and designated on-street and off-street parking facilities, regulation of parking by introducing park and pay to discourage on-street parking.
