Item Challenges of Students' Off-campus Housing in Nigerian Universities: The University of Ilorin Experience(Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, 2019) Raheem, W.M.; Jimoh, M.Y.Housing, as one of the basic necessities of life, has been widely acknowledged to be grossly inadequate both in quality and quantity. This is unarguably largely due to the population explosion experienced the world over. The phenomenon has particularly drawn much attention of research focus on students' housing across Nigerian tertiary institutions, owning to the upsurge of admission seekers into these higher institutions of learning. Due to the inability of management of institutions to provide enough on campus accommodation for students, a larger proportion of them are made to seek solace in off-campus housing for their accommodation need. This study is, therefore, an attempt on the challenges of off-campus housing in Nigerian Universities with reference to the University of Ilorin. Data for the study were collected at 3 different areas of student residency not far from the University gate. The purposive sampling method was used to select students' hostel and random sampling method was thereafter used to administer questionnaires on them. In all, 300 questionnaires were administered in ratio 3:2:1 in (closest: closer: close respectively) in term of proximity to the school gate. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, pie chart and chi square were used to present result. One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to establish the variation among the condition of housing in the three selected areas. Results showed that students were faced with a number of challenges such as epileptic power supply, high cost of rent, delay in getting to and fro school and insecurity among others. ANOVA results indicate significant variation in conditions of houses in the residential areas with p values of 0.000, 0.000, 0.034, 0.023, 0.000 and 0.000 for condition of roof, availability of kitchen, laundry and bathroom and condition of floor and wall respectively. It, conversely, shows that room size does not vary significantly at p = 0.079 at 0.005 confidence level. The study concludes by recommending Public Private Partnership strategy by the University in providing more on-campus housing, procurement of more mass transit means of transport and partnership with landlords in students' residential areas on the provision of security among other solutions to engender environmental sustainability.Item Data and Database Management for Sustainable Planning in Nigeria(Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria, 2020) Raheem, W.M.; Jimoh, M.Y.Item DESIRABILITY OF BROWNFIELD REDEVELOPMENT FOR URBAN REGENERATION IN MAGAJI ARE WARD 1, ILORIN, KWARA STATE.(Centre for Human Settlements and Urban Development, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, 2015-06) Jimoh, M.Y.; Asonibare, R.O.; Aina, C.O.; Issa, S. B.Recent discussions of urban growth management have emphasized a smart growth through Brownfield redevelopment concept, this has been intensively discussed, well documented and has been well tested in economically prosperous region like Canada and United States. Attention has not been pain in this regard, to the peculiar circumstances of the developing regions like Nigeria, with low literacy level, and largely unplanned urban neighborhoods. It is against this background that this paper seeks to appraise the desirability of Brownfield redevelopment strategy as a creative and continual develop mechanism in the cities of developing economy, taking Magaji Are I in Ilorin metropolis as a case study. The use of questionnaire was employed as the main data collection instrument, where oral interview and field observations compliment. About 461 questionnaires were distributed among the inhabitants addressing issues relating to their personal views on situation. Eighty (80) questionnaires were also administered on the ownership of the identified Brownfield, regarding their readiness to release such, for public/private use and general views and opinions on the concept. The average/percentage and frequency of occurrence were obtained. The results of the study revealed an overwhelming presence of Brownfield sites in various sizes in the study area and further established a general agreement on the desirability of the concept of its redevelopment. About 65% of Brownfield owners oppose the sale of their sites; but 45% of them opted and suggested the Build Operate and Transfer (BOT) concept of its redevelopment while 21% of them opted for partnership arrangement on 70/30 equity ownership in favor of the original owner. The paper recommends an extension of scope of Brownfield definition to cater for peculiarities of developing countries and in conclusion recommends adequate public (stakeholders) education and involvement for land assemblage and the establishment of Brownfield Development Unit in Planning Authorities in the state out of other strategiesItem The Dynamics of Land use and Land Cover Change in Non-Costal Town of Giyani, Limpopo, South Africa(Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Benue State University, Makurdi, 2021) Jimoh, M.Y.; Ola, A.B.; Raheem, W.M.; Suleiman, A.R.; Raheem, W.A.Against the background of that land is considered not only as an essential means of production but also as a basis of human existence, its availability and accessibility requires adequate research attention. It is on this conviction that this study seeks to model the patterns, rate as well as identify the consequences of land modification in Giyani town of South Africa over the last 30 years in order to provide informed sustainable land use management policies and programmes. The study used a supervised classification method for geospatial analysis of available LandSat imageries for 1987, 1997, 2007 and 2017 to analyze the changes in land cover in Giyani using available imageries in Bands. ArcGIS 10.3 software and raster calculator tool to produce change detection maps. Land Consumption Rate and Absorption Coefficient were adopted to respectively measure land consumption by each member of the community and change of urban land consumption. The results were overlaid to obtain a visual representation of the area/extent of changes that occurred over time. The result shows that 781.9ha of vegetation was transformed between 1987 and 2017, this was largely informed by the increased demand for firewood and material for construction, construction of infrastructure, government offices etc. Built-up areas increased in its coverage to about 919.44ha within the three decades (1987-2017). Due to the expansion of the town to the hinterland, bare land was consumed by about 672.87ha within same period with 0.06 LRC in 2017 and 0.09 LAC between 2007 and 2017. The paper underscored vertical growth (smart-city growth concept), while promoting tree planting among Giyani residents to prevent wanton modification.Item Effective Management of Storm water in Ibeju–Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeri(Department of Civil Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, 2020) Raheem, W.M.; Jimoh, M.Y.; Ola, A.B.; Raheem, W.A.; Suleiman, A.R.; Ibrahim, M.In recent years, many cities and rural areas are facing frequent waterlogging, run-of pollution, huge loss of resourceful rainwater, damaged ecosystem and many more rain water related problems. In regional perspective, how to construct a sustainable storm water management measures have been presented as an important issue in many cities and urban agglomeration in Nigeria. Ibeju Lekki area is usually faced with the problem of rain water leading to incessant flooding. This study therefore assesses storm water management in Ibeju-Lekki Area, Lagos state. The research employs a random sampling technique in selecting 204 (0.07 ) respondents for questionnaire administration. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools were employed in the analysis of the data. Pearson product moment correlation was used to test the relationship between the gradient analysis and vulnerability to runoff of Ibeju-Lekki. Also, the slope analysis of the study area was carried out using slope calculation. Findings revealed that natural green space, public parks and gardens and drainage system were the most available storm water management infrastructure in the area. The result of correlation analysis with r = 0.971 shows a strong positive correlation between gradient and vulnerability to runoff . The study concluded that physical planning policies such as thorough monitoring of building plan before approval and institution of effective development control agencies among others should be put in place to ensure proper management of storm water in Ibeju-Lekki local government area of Lagos StateItem 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.B.This 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.Item Evaluation of On-Street Parking on Traffic Flow in Ilorin Central Business District, Ilorin, Nigeria(Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Nasarawa State University, Keffi, Nigeria., 2021-06) Suleiman, A.R.; Raheem, W.M.; Ola, A.B.; Jimoh, M.Y.; Oladimeji, S.O.This Study evaluates on-street parking in Ilorin Central Business District (CBD), Ilorin, Kwara State.

Several residential real estates were being developed without prior and corresponding attention to the provision of infrastructure despite its perceived importance as one of the basic agents of development. It is on this premise that the paper seeks to establish the relationship between urban infrastructure on real estate development while analyzing the impacts of the former on latter. The paper attempts to highlight the background of the study. Data were gathered from residents in the selected neighborhoods of the study area and other stakeholders in real estate sector through questionnaires and personal interview through stratified random sampling technique. The sample size was determined, a total of 145 samples were estimated inclusive of non-responses. Data were analysed using mixed (Quantitative and Qualitative) methods. Computer aided Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed and responses were scaled using likert scale while other data were correlated to establish various relationships. The paper reveal a strong relationship between infrastructure and real estate development in the selected neighborhood of Minna and the implication of this is that availability of infrastructure will relatively cause increase in residential real estate development.Item Planning Instruments and Climate Change Adaptation Strategies for Non-Coastal Mupani District, Municipalities of South Africa(Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Nigeria, 2020) Jimoh, M.Y.; Peter, Bikam; Chikoore, H.; James, Chakwizira; Raheem, W.M.
