Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the hierarchical division of the Sangzor River Basin, with a specific focus on the Kokjar Basin as one of its major internal sub-basins. It aims to describe the basin’s geographical extent, boundaries, surface morphology, soils, climate, and land-cover characteristics in relation to its natural potential for recreation and tourism development. Method: The research employed cartographic and Geographic Information System (GIS) methods to delineate basin boundaries and analyze geomorphological, hydrological, and climatic parameters. Results: The findings reveal that the Kokjar Basin, oriented north–south toward the Chumqor Mountain watershed, benefits from moist air inflow from the west, resulting in higher precipitation and increased surface runoff. Its fertile brown soils support extensive agricultural and horticultural activities, while forest and water resources promote eco-tourism opportunities. Novelty: This study contributes a systematic spatial assessment of the Kokjar Basin’s natural features within the hierarchical framework of the Sangzor River Basin, emphasizing its dual potential for sustainable agriculture and eco-tourism development based on integrated basin management principles.

Abstract

Objective: The paper examined Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in Urban and Regional Planning in Nigeria. The paper concluded that integration of climate risk assessment into urban planning, development of green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, climate-resilient infrastructure and building design, sustainable urban transportation systems, land use planning and zoning regulations, community-based adaptation and public participation and policy integration and institutional strengthening are the Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in Urban and Regional Planning that can be adopted in Nigeria. One of the recommendations of the paper, in line with the outcomes, is that the federal, state and local planning bodies of Nigeria should incorporate physical and regional development plans with holistic climate risk assessment. Planners in urban and rural areas in Nigeria need to focus on green infrastructure development that employs natural processes in climate resiliency. Examples are are the creation of urban parks, green roof, community gardens, the restoration of wetlands, and planting trees along roads or around water bodies. With the cooperation of professional planning and engineering organizations, the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing should constitute and implement climate resilience building codes. Such standards would highlight on usage of durable materials, better drainage system, higher foundations in the flood prone regions and designs that use less energy. Other infrastructure amenities like roads, bridges and drainage facilities ought to be constructed with the in anticipation of the predicted alterations in rainfall intensity and temperature in order to guarantee long life span and safety. Urban planners should integrate transport and land use planning to promote compact city forms and reduce dependence on private cars. Encouraging public transportation use not only mitigates climate change but also improves urban air quality and energy efficiency. The federal and state governments should strengthen the enforcement of land use and zoning regulations to control unplanned urban expansion and settlement in high-risk zones.

Abstract

Objective: The study examined circular economy (CE) Practices that University Management should adopt to enhance sustainable university education in Nigeria. The study used secondary data. The secondary data were collected from both print and online publication. The study concluded that cycling, reuse, eco-design, and sustainable procurement are some of the circular economy (CE) practices that university management can adopt to ensure sustainable university education across Nigeria. Resting on these findings, it is suggested that the paper recommends that the Nigerian universities need to put institutional policies that instil the principles of the circular economy in all facets of the management and operations of the institutions. These models should be the ways of waste minimizing, sustainable resources management, recycling and eco-innovation. The management of the university is also supposed to harmonize these policies with the national sustainability programs and international programs like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A specific policy direction would give a sense of direction on how to be implemented, who will be held accountable and performance assessment at departmental levels. Universities ought to establish concepts of CE in academic courses in different fields such as engineering, business, environmental sciences, and social sciences. This collaboration will contribute to the development of the sustainability-based mentality among students and personnel. Also, the institutions are to encourage waste valorization, sustainable product design, renewable energy, and green technologies research and innovation. The practical implementation and interdisciplinary collaboration may be supported additionally by the creation of CE research centers or hubs. Universities ought to introduce effective waste segregation, recycling and composting measures to reduce land fill disposal. An audit of waste should be periodically done to come up with the significant waste streams and come up with measures of recovering the material. Collaborations with recycling companies and local community can strengthen collection, processing and reuse activities. Furthermore, universities can serve as models by demonstrating zero-waste campus initiatives and creating incentives for departments that effectively manage their waste streams.

Abstract

Objective: Against this background, the present study examines the spatial relationship between human activities and air pollution within the urban environment of Samarra City. Method: The study adopted a geographical and descriptive-analytical approach supported by field surveys, environmental measurements, questionnaire data, and GIS-based spatial representation. Field measurements were conducted in cooperation with the Salah Al-Din Environment Directorate at five major intersections on 22 May 2026, during morning, midday, and evening peak periods. The monitored atmospheric indicators included sulfur dioxide (SO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), hydrocarbons (HC), and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The recorded values were analyzed as relative levels for comparative assessment among the selected monitoring sites. Results: The results revealed clear spatial variation in the relative levels of the monitored atmospheric indicators. Locations characterized by comparatively intensive traffic and commercial activity generally exhibited higher relative levels than locations with less intensive vehicular and commercial activity. Muraidi Market Intersection exhibited the highest overall relative pollution profile, recording CO₂ (80%), SO₂ (70%), NO₂ (50%), HC (30%), and CO (7%). Al-Alwa Intersection ranked second overall, recording CO₂ (75%), SO₂ (60%), NO₂ (53%), HC (25%), and CO (5%). Notably, Al-Alwa recorded a slightly higher relative NO₂ level than Muraidi Market, demonstrating that individual atmospheric indicators do not necessarily follow identical spatial patterns. The observed spatial pattern was associated with differences in traffic intensity, commercial activity, surrounding land use, and other human activities characterizing the monitoring locations. Novelty: However, because the study did not conduct quantitative source-apportionment analysis, these relationships are interpreted as spatial associations rather than evidence of the independent causal contribution of individual emission sources. The findings highlight the importance of expanding air-quality monitoring, improving urban traffic management, reducing uncontrolled waste burning, strengthening vehicle-emission inspection, promoting cleaner energy practices, and integrating air-quality considerations into urban planning. These measures may contribute to improving urban environmental quality and supporting sustainable development in Samarra City.

Abstract

Objective: This article aims to analyze demographic dynamics and education participation patterns in Mojokerto City and to formulate an adaptive education policy framework by adapting the Recovery, Resilience, and Cooperation (RRC) framework developed by ASEAN member states during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach within a policy analysis design, combining descriptive quantitative analysis of secondary demographic and education participation data for Mojokerto City for the 2014-2024 period with simple linear regression trend projections to 2034, and content analysis of regional policy documents and international academic literature to adapt the RRC framework to a city-government context. Results: The findings show that the number of births in Mojokerto City declined by 25.6 percent between 2014 and 2024, accompanied by a rising share of the working-age population, while the Net Enrollment Rate (NER) for primary education reached 100 percent in 2024, whereas the NER for senior secondary education declined to 71.5 percent. These findings indicate a shift in local education challenges from access expansion toward ensuring continuity and quality of learning across education levels. Novelty: The proposed RRC framework, comprising recovery, resilience, and cooperation agendas, is recommended as a basis for formulating integrated education policy responsive to the changing demographic structure of Mojokerto City.
