Abstract

Climate change has been considered the most significant environmental catastrophe which is currently threatening human survival. Like the rest of other countries on the African continent, climate change in Nigeria has debilitating effects on both the people and the community due to vulnerability and poor coping capability of the people. Numerous studies related to the problem of rising temperatures in Africa are now being carried out and documented. However, only a little research evidence is available, particularly from Nigeria, regarding the way socio-demographic factors and sources of information are related to climate change awareness. The Afrobarometer Round 7 data for Nigeria was released in 2019 with a sample of 1600 drawn from the 36 states in the country through a clustered, stratified, multi-stage, random sample. The data were subjected to different statistical analyses of t-test, ANOVA, correlation, and regression. The study found that a majority of participants received information about climate change on the internet, social media, TV, and radio. Only a few of the participants obtained climate change-related information from the newspapers. The results showed significant differences in climate change awareness based on gender and place of respondents’ residences. One-way ANOVA showed that significant differences exist in climate change awareness among educational and regional groups. However, no significant difference was found in the awareness of climate change among age groups. In contrast, a significant positive relationship among gender, place of residence, region, and awareness of climate change was observed. Internet news and climate change awareness were found to be negatively significantly related. Stepwise regression analysis showed that internet news was the most parsimonious set of climate change predictors. It is suggested that for a better understanding of climate change, government agencies and other stakeholders should use the internet and various social media platforms to disseminate information related to climate change. Subscription to social media platforms should be made cheap for the citizens for broader coverage which in turn engenders well-informed citizenry.

Abstract

Housing conditions in the coral barracks become interesting as research subjects to find out that the housing condition covers all-encompassing in both the dwelling’s physical attributes and housing satisfaction. Generally, having satisfactory housing accommodation is among the most prized aspects of human begins’ lives and a key component of people’s material living standards. The aim of this study was to assess the attributes and level of housing conditions in Coral Barracks, Nigeria to explore housing conditions and their attributes and cover only the non-commissioned officers’ quarters. A quantitative method using a questionnaire survey was used and the population size was 774 apartments with a sample size of 260, while the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as parametric measurements. A total number of 194 questionnaires retrieved from the respondents were used in the analyses. The findings from the physical condition attributes showed that the number of bedrooms, walls, and floors were in fair condition, while the roof, kitchen, and toilet/bath were in poor condition. Neighborhood attributes of hospitals, worship centers, sports facilities, and schools were in fair condition, building services attributes of security, water supply, fire protection, sewage & solid waste disposal and road networks were in fair condition, while laundry, internet, and drainage are in poor condition. The study recommends that a standard strategic plan for efficient barrack housing construction, management, and maintenance be designed. Dealing with the study, it can be concluded that housing conditions in coral barracks, Nigeria, are in the condition that requires rehabilitation to revitalize the standard of the housing condition implied that the management of Coral Barracks through the Logistics Department and Engineering Maintenance Group (EMG) is requested to expeditiously carry out general renovation of the soldiers’ accommodation as well as improve on the provision of auxiliary building services and neighbourhoods amenities in the study area with this it may still be part of the conclusion that the housing condition in the study is not fair.

Abstract

In the worldwide, the impacts associated with the use of technological innovations and developmental processes in the built environment through the construction of buildings are phenomenal. This is noticeable in the literature on the role of green building practices in building construction, building operation and optimization, and building management; respectively. This has led stakeholders and policy drivers to adopt principles of sustainability by producing green building rating systems to assess building stock at different stages of their life cycle. Dealing with the issue, this paper aimed to review various attempts made by selected nations and other stakeholders to produce green building rating tools and focused on the need to develop a green building rating system for Nigeria to enhance the sustainability performance of the country’s building stock. Given the various efforts by countries around the world to develop green building assessment tools, the paper found and maintained that Nigeria as a geographical entity cannot decide to be left out of the global trend to achieve sustainability through the need to have its own Green Building Rating System. The paper, therefore, recommended that there is a need to consider various assessments of the existing green building in either tropical or temperate region around the world and have a domestic green building rating assessment for the country to ensure that sustainability of her building stock can be promoted.

Abstract

Community participation is required for managing solid waste. In Indonesia, community acceptance and participation in solid waste management are assessed by the presence of a waste bank at the village or neighborhood level. This study aimed to find out the source, economic potency, and handling system of solid waste in a village setting. This study took place at Ketapang Village, Mauk Sub District, Tangerang Regency, Indonesia. This study evaluated the community participation in the waste bank in Ketapang Village, which is called, Sakumis Bersalaman Waste Bank, and its potential to manage solid waste and generate some profits for the community. Some steps were performed to obtain the answer to the research question. A desk review was conducted to analyze the current waste management practice. Solid waste generation data was taken from an 8-days survey of the collected waste managed by the waste bank. In-depth interviews with 96 households were conducted to find out the potential of future waste bank development. It was found that from 1,988 households in Ketapang Village only 448 households participated in Sakumis Bersalaman Waste Bank. Based on the results of the analysis on the questionnaire which was distributed randomly to 182 households which are communities around the waste bank, it was found that 51.4% of respondents were not yet members of the waste bank. From this percentage, 94.4% of them declared that they want to be waste bank members. It is suggested to Shakumis Bersalaman Waste Bank to add members so that more waste will be recycled. In this way, the community will receive more benefits. From the results, we concluded that community participation through a waste bank, especially a better waste management system, is the potential way to increase the economic level of the village. Moreover, a waste bank could facilitate better solid waste management and produce a sustainable circular economy at the village level.

Abstract

The occurrence of flooding events and the associated risks are increasing in the urban areas of most developing countries. Flooding in any circumstance causes major stresses on affected area’s economic, social and environmental regimes. Therefore, the current study presents a flood analysis and hydraulic competence of existing drainage structures on some selected roads of Addis Ababa City, after integration with Addis Ababa Light Rail Transit (AALRT) Drainage Systems. The existing side drains and cross drainage structures located within the study area were inspected and assessed to ascertain different aspects relating to their performance. Different watersheds were delineated. Hydrological analysis was then carried out using Geospatial tools such as ARCGIS, ARCSWAT, and HEC GEOHMS to determine the different watersheds contributing to the flows. The flows were obtained from the rational method for areas less than 0.5 km2 and HEC HMS for areas greater than 0.5 km2. The hydraulic analysis was carried out using HY-8 for the culvert and the Hydraulic toolbox for side drains. It was found from field surveys and measurements that the existing side drain of 900 mm circular pipe could not convey the maximum flow. The existing box culvert, which comprised of one barrel was able to convey the design flow of 29.52 m3/s with a headwater elevation of 2300.94 m. The existing box culvert was sufficient in conveying the designed flow since its headwater elevation was lower than that of the roadway elevation. However, observations like the presence of accumulated silt, debris within most side drains, and an undersized side drain reduced its hydraulic competence. The undersized side drain was redesigned by increasing its diameter to 1200 mm. The study acts as a yardstick for drainage assessment, especially for existing structures, an indicator for identifying the most flood-prone areas along the railway track. It recommended an intermediate cross culvert before Lancha, regular desilting, and putting screens at inlets of side drains and some distance before the entrance of the culverts. Periodic maintenance of the existing drainage structures and widening of the pipe conduits for the side drains to about 1200 mm for easy maintenance is also necessary.

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to analyze the prospects for the agriculture development in the Central Asian region and Tajikistan in particular, in terms of identifying the main favorable and constraining factors for the further agriculture development. The Pyanj river is one of the main tributaries of the Transboundary Amu Darya River in the Central Asian region, whose waters are a source of drinking water supply for the population and 80% used for irrigation of agricultural land. The trend of deteriorating water quality of Central Asian River systems recently has been increasing, and monitoring water quality from the formation zone to the downstream of the rivers is a problem in the region. The statistical methods and Pearson correlation to the meteorological conditions monitoring of the river basins were used. In the Laboratory of Environment and Geology of the Department of Geological Sciences of the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA), as well as in the Laboratory of Moisture Chemistry of the Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (USA) by use of an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and ion chromatography was conducted the element analyses of waters. The physical and chemical analyses of water samples was conducted using the “TaLab” spectrophotometer following the relevant state standards. The suitability of water for irrigation were determined by the calculation of the coefficients of sodium adsorption (SAR), the percentage of sodium (Na%), the percentage of sodium solubility (SSP), and the percentage of exchangeable sodium (ESP). The contribution of the Gunt River to the enrichment of the main Pyanj River with Fe, Co, Ni, Sr, Ca, Mg, Na, and K elements are established. The assessment of the natural water quality of the Pyanj and Gunt rivers for irrigation was carried out using various index methods, such as SAR, ESP, SSP and %Na.

Abstract

The influence of plant traits on interspecific demographic rates to growth and mortality has recently received an increasing attention because it allows understanding of the underlying determinants of species success especially in open degraded areas. This study examined the trait-based approach in selecting potential species for forest restoration. Five (5) native/indigenous pioneer species were evaluated for functional traits such as plant height, branching architecture, leaf dry matter content, specific leaf area, stem density, and bark thickness. All samples were collected from healthy and well grown mature trees growing in secondary forest of Central Mindanao University. The range of values for the various functional traits as observed by Ostertag and Perez-Harguindeguy were used to evaluate. Based on the result, three species such as Phyllantus albus, Polyscias nodosa, and Buchanania arborescence showed to fit in those values hence we recommend that these species should be considered as primary restoration species in various denuded areas of the Philippines. Our result suggests that multiple functional traits (i.e. Leaf anatomical traits, leaf morphological traits and leaf stomatal traits) are still required to be measured to select appropriate plant species for restoration.

Abstract

Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) has become the tip of the iceberg since technology globalization has created a welcoming environment for green construction. However, there are several roadblocks to overcome, this includes barriers to technology. Dependence on technology stifles the autonomous growth of one's technology. This implementation of sustainable green building has been implemented in ATBU such as green construction, financing, among others. The study has the primary aim of assessing the impediment to the sustainable implementation of green building practices in ATBU. Quantitative research design is adopted in this study where questionnaire survey strategy was used to collect data. There is a total of 180 staff that constitute the respondent scope where Krejcie and Morgan table of 1970 are used to determine the sample. 123 are adopted as a sample. In the process of the survey, 123 survey are distributed and only 101 are retrieved for the descriptive analysis and correlational statistical analysis was used in the exploration of the result. It was found that good ventilation light is the indicator of the green building that was lacking a technical know-how, with lack of professionals to handle the task, and the predominant practice by governments and institutions of separating capital and operating budgets rather than applying life-cycle budgeting. The study found .650** strong correlational relationship between green building and performance of academic activities. The study concluded that there is a low level of green building awareness in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi. The building projects in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi adopted few elements of green building assessment categories and the level of green building practice of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Bauchi building projects to each building assessment categories is not in line with the green building practice. This study will further enable the environment of the abubakar tafawa balewa university to consider various options by using this study as a benchmark for the evaluation and ranking among the global university.
