Abstract

The evolutions of urban spaces has brought about diverse residential typologies which often end up as gated. This has implications for behavioural outcomes. The study examines the impact of gating characteristics on placed dependence in urban residential neighbourhoods. Qualitative survey method was used to collect primary data through the use of questionnaires and observation checklists. Nine neighbourhoods were identified within the study area with four (4) of them characterized as Single Family and five (5) multiple family house types. The study finds that gate (ing) was accorded greater priority and hence its prevalence regardless of house types. Nevertheless single family neighbourhoods have higher gating attributes than multiple family neighbourhoods. Also by comparative advantage place dependence is more pronounced in Single Family Neighbourhoods than the Multiple Family. Overall, the study finds that gating systems, speed bumps, security patrol gate house, and security signage are the significant predictors of place dependence in FESTAC. The findings therefore validates the increasing popularity of gating in the shaping of the urban residential environment and therefore needs to be considered as a critical facility that serves functional utility by urban planners and designers as a goal to improve place dependence attributes in urban residential environment.

Abstract

Scholars have observed that residents who perceive their neighbourhoods as unsafe may become eventually distant, reducing their sense of attachment, community participation and pride in their surroundings. This study examines how perceived personal risk of victimization can impact place attachment in an urban residential area. The study uses quantitative survey method to investigate the relationship. The findings indicate that the most rated element of place attachment is place identity in both types of housing. There is also no significant difference in perceived personal risk of victimization and place attachment in both single and multiple family house types. The findings also indicated that perceived personal risk of victimization is a significant predictor of place attachment in single family neighbourhoods but not in multiple family neighbourhoods. Nonetheless perceived personal risk of victimization is a significant predictor of place attachment in the entire study area.
