    Assessment of Housing Characteristics in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos Peri-Urban Settlements
    (Department of Art and Architecture, Islamic Azad University, 2019-11-01) Adedire, F. M.; Iweka, A. C.
    Housing developments in Lagos State peri-urban settlements have contributed immensely to alleviation of the challenges of housing deficits in central Lagos. This research aims at examining the characteristics of housing development in the peri-urban settlements of Lagos State, Nigeria. Using a case study approach, housing developments in peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Areas were selected to represent the rapidly urbanizing metropolitan peripheral areas in Lagos S tate. Data was collected through primary and secondary sources which include survey questionnaires, direct observations and in-depth interviews. Using two stage sampling techniques, questionnaire was distributed to households in purposively selected 16 peri-urban settlements in Ibeju Lekki. Data collected through field survey were analysed using frequencies, percentages, cross tabulations while qualitative data were analysed using descriptive analysis. Findings demonstrate that different housing initiatives in the peri-urban settlements performed differently in typology and resident’s perception. Socio-economic attributes revealed a multi-cultural households composition, reasonable literacy level. It is recommended that improved quality and user performance peri-urban housing development can be achieved through residents’ participation in housing policy design and also by timely regional policy response to the pace of housing development in Lagos peri-urban settlements.

    Causes and Policy Implications of Residential Segregation In Lagos Peripheral Settlements
    (Department of Architecture, 2016-07-01) Adedire, F. M.; Adebamowo, M. A.; Iweka, A. C.
    This study examines the causes and policy implications of residential segregation in Lagos peripheral settlements. Using a case study approach, 370 housing developments units in Ibeju-Lekki, a peripheral of Eti-Osa metropolitan region in Lagos were selected as the sample size. Primary source of data was semi-structured interview and questionnaires administered to randomly selected respondents in the study area. Two stages of analysis were conducted. Firstly descriptive analysis was conducted on the data to generate percentages and frequencies of responses on the socio-demographic profile of household heads, residents’ perception of neighbourhood quality and intensity of residential segregation in the study area. Secondly, multivariate test was conducted to examine the influence of housing initiative, ethnicity, income, education, occupation and community group on the residential patterns in the study area. Data processing and analysis for this study were carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22 for windows for statistical analysis of the quantitative data. Findings show that residential segregation in the study area is affected by socio-economic attributes of the residents. The major socio-economic attributes that affect housing segregation are income, tribe and education. Also, noted to have contributed to segregation in the study area is different housing initiatives and typologies adopted by the housing providers. It is recommended that mixed communities development should be encouraged to eliminate spatial and cultural segregation in the study area.

    Factors influencing housing development in Lagos peri-urban settlements:
    (Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, 2017-09-01) Adedire, F. M.; Iweka, A. C.; Adebamowo, M. A.
    This paper examines the factors influencing peri-urban housing development in Lagos with focus on the drivers of rapid spatial changes in the case studies of Ibeju-Lekki and Ikorodu, both rapidly urbanizing peri-urban settlements in Lagos,Nigeria. Data was collected through primary source by administration of 373 and 384 questionnaires to household heads in purposively selected peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-lekki and in Ikorodu, Lagos respectively. The quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics and factor analysis. The result shows that major factors influencing peri- urban housing development in the study area are land affordability, low cost of living, easy linkage, proximity to the urban centre and provision of better quality housing through exclusive gated housing development. The study recommends a re-classification of Lagos peri-urban settlements based on change in land use due to housing development. This can be achieved through an appropriate policy design for improved infrastructural development and also to curtail unsustainable development pattern

    Implications of residential and workplace location in Lagos periphery of Ikorodu
    (Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, 2017-10-26) Adedire, F. M.; Iweka, A. C.
    This paper discusses the socio-economic implication of residential and workplace location in Lagos peri-urban with focus on the case study of Ikorodu, a rapidly urbanising suburbia in Lagos State, Nigeria. Data were collected through primary source by administration of 383 questionnaires to household heads in purposively selected eighteen peri-urban settlements and through the use of an observation schedule. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis while the qualitative data were analysed by content analysis. The result shows the major benefits of residential location in Ikorodu as shown from the residents’ perception are quality environment for living and the potential for economic growth. The most prevailing challenge to residential location was inadequate infrastructure development. Enterprise wise, the major benefit is availability of good customer base. Findings also show that development in the peri-urban has outgrown the provided infrastructure. It is therefore recommended that effort should be made to update data on pattern and extent of development in order to ascertain the infrastructure needs and distribution in the peri-urban. There should be an effective policy design for improved infrastructure development. Keywords: Peri-urban, Housing development, Locational benefits, Locational challenges.

    Typological Analysis of Housing Development in the Lagos Peri-urban Settlements
    (Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Bauchi, 2017-12-01) Adedire, F. M.; Iweka, A. C.
    The research examined the typological analysis of housing development in the peri-urban settlements of Lagos State, Nigeria. Case study methodology was adopted using random sampling to select housing developments, under different housing initiatives, in purposively selected peri-urban settlements in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Areas of Lagos State. Primary data were sourced from survey questionnaires, direct observations and in-depth interviews administered to household heads in the case study area. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics to generate frequencies, percentages, cross tabulations of the variables. Findings show different housing typologies under three categories; owner occupied, part-rental and full-rental housing. Housing typologies in the study area were influenced by different housing initiatives, and the socio-economic attributes of the residents which revealed a heterogeneous mix of the population in terms of culture, literacy level and household size. It is recommended that the residents' socio-demography should be put into consideration in building typology designs to enhance effective user performance in periurban housing development under different housing development schemes in Lagos State
