dc.description.abstractThis work investigates land-use factor on the occurrence of flood in Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, Data used were generated from direct field measurements, satellite imagery interpretation and questionnaire administration. Such data were on distance of houses from river banks, landuse/vegetation characteristics frequency of flood experience and damage caused by flooding. Collected data were subjected to descriptive statistics and cross tabulations, Results obtained indicate that substantial portion of the floodplains in the river channels of the basins studied have houses located on them. Most alluvial plains hitherto being used for farming now have buildings on them, The study also revealed that most resident of the city dump refuse into flowing water when it rains, This practice has made most of the respondents to suffer losses from flooding with damages incurred reflecting the degree- of encroachment on floodplains. The study thus, suggests landuse planning and environmental education towards solving the incessant flood problem in the city.en_US
