Compliance with Open Space Standards in Residential Areas of Oyo, Nigeria
Against the widespread non-adherence with statutory requirements for open space provision in virtually every segment of cities, especially in residential areas, this study examined compliance with open space standards in three distinct residential zones (core, transition and sub-urban) of Oyo, a traditional city in Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted with two stakeholders: self-built house owners (SHOs) and town planning officials (TPO…
Waste pickers’ perception of occupational hazards and well-being in a Nigerian megacity
This study examined occupational risks associated with waste picking and pickers well-being in Lagos, Nigeria. A convenience sampling technique was employed to select 152 landfill-waste pickers, and the respondent-driven sampling technique was used to select 53 street-waste pickers. We discovered that waste pickers were exposed to occupational health risks such as body pain, tiredness, twisted ankles, chest pain, and eye soreness. Non-use of pers…
Crime dynamics under Covid-19 emergency measures in Nigeria
This study examines how the COVID-19 emergency has impacted crime across different locations in Nigeria. Data were collected from a sample of residents from across Nigeria and analysed using mean ratings, percentages and chi-square. Based on the residents' perceptions, certain crime types have decreased (e.g. home break-ins and assaults), some remain unchanged (e.g. stealing and pilfering) and others have increased (e.g. cybercrime and domestic v…
Environmental and health hazards of residents domiciled around Africa’s largest landfill
Landfills are a nuisance and an environmental feature whose siting creates uncertainty, anxiety and unrest in nearby residential neighborhoods. As such, hazards from Africa’s largest Landfill in Nigeria were surveyed, considering a 3 km radius of the site. Primary data were collected across four seasons from 473 participants in neighborhoods situated within a 1, 1–2 and 2–3 km radius of the site. The research established that environmental and he…
Variability of sense of place in Nigerian coastal communities
This study gathered residents' perceptual data to explore the variability of sense of place in coastal communities in Lagos, Nigeria. A questionnaire was administered to respondents from one in every 10 buildings using a systematic random sampling technique. Each respondent (preferably the oldest family member) was surveyed in the chosen residential buildings. In total, 265 questionnaires were completed and submitted for analysis. The findings re…
Environmental hazard and health risks associated with slaughterhouses in Ibadan, Nigeria
Activities in slaughterhouses result in complex multidimensional health risks and environmental pollution due to the high levels of organic waste produced that directly and indirectly can affect the health of residents living in the vicinity through the pollution of surface and underground waters as well as reduced air qualities. This research examined the environmental hazard and health risk associated with slaughterhouses in Ibadan, Nigeria. Da…
