Abstract

Purpose: The rapid expansion of urban areas worldwide is widely attributed to the growth of urban populations. The objective of this study is to examine the expansion of urban sprawl in the North Central area of Nigeria, specifically along the Abuja-Keffi highway corridor, over a period of 29 years, from 1991 to 2020. Methodology: The study utilised satellite imagery from three distinct spatio-temporal intervals (1991–2003, 2003–2015, and 2015–2020) and incorporated three different types of Landsat sensors, namely Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), and Operational Land Imager (OLI). The study employed image processing and land use classification analysis techniques to generate land use and land cover (LULC). Results: The analysis of the data reveals that there has been a significant increase in sprawling development along the Abuja-Keffi highway corridor. The built-up area of the region has undergone significant expansion over the past three decades, with the urbanised land area increasing from 1081.98 hectares (4.96%) in 1991 to 10263.15 hectares in 2020, accounting for 47.06% of the total built-up area. The research also documented two distinct forms of urban growth, specifically linear and leapfrog, throughout the corridor. Applications/Originality/Value: The research recommends regional urban policy, urban growth boundaries as well as effective and efficient development control mechanism in the selected settlements along the corridor. The Abuja Municipal Area Council and Karu Local Government are urged to promote urban renewal and infrastructure development through private partnership, sustainable policies, waste management systems and community engagement.

Abstract

Basic housing infrastructure influences the comfort of several residents. There are, however, indications that the residents in severalurban housing estates in Nigeria are dissatisfied with their housing infrastructures and maintenance. Therefore, this study focuses on evaluating the relationship between the quality of housing infrastructure and the decision of occupants on where to live. Thisstudy involved the application of a quantitative approach with the aid of a structured questionnaire to collect data from residents. The survey was conducted in six selected neighbourhoods of Owerri Municipal area with the occupants as respondents (n=399). Moreover, the chi-square test of independence was applied to determine the relationshipbetween the quality of housing infrastructure and the decision to live in either the urban areas or move to the peripheries. The result (χ2(39) = 920.41, p < .001) showed a significant association and this implies potential occupants should be consulted more in the conceptualisation and execution of housing projects to ensure their expectations are met.
