dc.description.abstractElectrical power remain one of the driving forces of any meaningful economic development, but many a times, losses are encounteredwhen disasters befalls as a result of non-compliance to the standard setback and height clearance provisions of the laws, regulations, and guidelines of the state for construction of this important infrastructure even in the most prestigious academic environment like the University. Utilizing the 3-Dimension data gathering surveying traverse method and GIS approach within the 577.97 hectaresof Land ofFederal University of Technology Akure, this research was able to cover about 241 Medium Tension (MT) poles, 28 Medium Tension/ Low Tension, 365 Low Tension (LT) poles and 6 Transformer. This finding revealed from analysis that the electrical hazard vulnerability (i.e. non-compliance with the guidelines, regulation and laws of Ondo state) level with respect to the MT poles, with standard 30m buffer, were 52%, 84% and 64% for the residential, institutional and educational buildings respectively and for that of LT poles were 64%, 69% and 67% of the residential, institutional and educational buildings respectively with 20m buffer. This study has shown that the compliance level is discouraging and it was recommended that adequate measures must be put in place by all relevant authorities of the University and the Benin Electrical Distribution Companies (BEDC) to forestall possible recurrence of imminent danger therefrom.en_US
