Journal of Geography, Regional Planning and Development
ISSN : -     EISSN : 3032131X     DOI : https://doi.org/10.61796/jgrpd
Journal of Geography, Regional Planning and Development is an open-access peer-review research journal with major features of science and research. The journal publishes original research, reviews, case analysis and other material on all aspects of geography and regional planning studies. This platform serves as a platform for critical academics and spatial development professionals to share cutting-edge research. It publishes original contributions focusing on the multiple ways in which spatial development is coordinated, governed, and institutionalized at various scales, places and territories. The journal is located within the subject area of Social Sciences and predominantly linked to the subject categories of Spatial Planning and Development, Urban Studies, and Geography. Nonetheless, based on the journal’s multidisciplinary outlook, JGRPD welcomes contributions from other fields if they explicitly contribute to research on European spatial development. Manuscripts submitted to this journal are subject to a peer review process, which involves an international panel of researchers who are experts in relevant fields. The online version is free to access and download.

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.
