Abstract

This study aims to assess the perspectives of 200 respondents in Makurdi town, Benue State, Nigeria, on flooding using a Likert scale questionnaire. Flooding is a recurring challenge in the area, impacting lives and properties and necessitating effective flood management and mitigation strategies. The questionnaire covers various aspects of flooding, including frequency, property damage, flood warning systems, government efforts, climate change impact, community preparedness, and community-based initiatives. The findings reveal that flooding frequently occurs in Makurdi, emphasizing the urgency for comprehensive flood management strategies. Respondents acknowledge the personal impact of flooding, highlighting the need for effective mitigation measures. Improvement is needed in flood warning systems and government efforts to prevent flooding. Climate change's role in increasing flooding is recognized, emphasizing the importance of climate-resilient strategies. Community awareness and education are essential for reducing flood impacts, while public-private partnerships offer opportunities for collaborative flood management initiatives. The media's role in disseminating flood-related information is crucial. Stricter enforcement of building codes in flood-prone areas and community-based initiatives can contribute significantly to effective flood management. The implications of this study underscore the importance of community engagement, climate-resilient measures, and improved communication. Policymakers and local authorities can use these findings to develop targeted interventions for building a more flood-resilient Makurdi. By adopting proactive measures and community involvement, the town can enhance preparedness and adaptability to future flood scenarios, fostering a safer and more sustainable environment.

Abstract

The construction industry, a dynamic realm of progress and responsibility, grapples with the imperative to minimize waste and enhance sustainability. This exploration unfolds various strategies for effective waste minimization, delving into source reduction techniques, lean construction principles, prefabrication and modular construction, design for deconstruction, and just-in-time delivery. Source reduction, commencing at the construction process's inception, emphasizes material efficiency, inventory management, and process optimization. Lean construction principles draw inspiration from manufacturing methodologies, spotlighting just-in-time production, continuous improvement, and value stream mapping to optimize processes and eliminate waste. Prefabrication and modular construction techniques, with their focus on precision, transport efficiency, and design flexibility, promise faster construction, reduced waste, and heightened quality control. Design for deconstruction advocates for structures crafted with an end-of-life strategy, emphasizing material selection, component standardization, and minimizing adhesives. Just-in-time delivery orchestrates the timely arrival of materials, minimizing waste, handling, and environmental impact associated with excess inventory. These strategies collectively paint a narrative of efficiency, sustainability, and responsibility, urging the construction industry to shape a future where each structure is a testament to mindful environmental stewardship.
