Green infrastructure delivery in southwestern Nigeria.
(Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Environmental Design and Management, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria., 2024) Olumuyiwa, Sola Atoyebi.
This study examined the socioeconomic characteristics of residents in different developmental areas of Abeokuta, Osogbo and Ado Ekiti; the provider, condition and level of utilization of green infrastructure; residents’ perception of green infrastructure delivery. It also determined factors influencing residents’ perception of green infrastructure delivery in the study area. These were with a view to providing information that could enhance environmental management in the study area. Data for the study were from primary and secondary sources. Primary data were collected through physical observation and administration of questionnaire on residents. Using multistage sampling, Abeokuta, Osogbo and Ado-Ekiti were stratified into three developmental zones (core, transition and suburban) followed by identification of residential areas in the zones. In each of the cities, there were selections of residential areas and selections of streets in the selected residential areas across the different developmental zones of the cities. In the selected streets, every 20th building was selected. Thus, 199, 179 and 115 residential buildings were sampled across the developmental zones of Abeokuta, Osogbo and Ado-Ekiti respectively where respondents were selected to arrive at 493 residents that formed the sample size for the study. Data collected were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency distribution, Chi-square, analysis of variance, correlation and regression analyses. Findings from the study showed that both male (53.5%) and female (46.5%) respondents were sampled. They were mostly adults of 40 years and above, all educated, and 66.1% of them were married. The respondents had varying income across the cities and also across the developmental zones of the cities. This variation also applied to household size and years of living in their residential areas. Further findings (58.3% of the residents) showed that the government was the major provider of green infrastructure in the three cities, the condition of green infrastructure was just fair with Relative Condition Index (RCI) of 2.63, and the RCI varied across the cities. It was also found that residents made use of green infrastructure for different purposes and the level of utilization is low across the cities. Findings further showed that the residents placed high level of importance on green infrastructure with Relative Importance Index (RII) of 3.06 but the level of satisfaction they derived was low with Relative Satisfaction Index (RSI) of 2.93, and with lower RSI attributable to several green infrastructure. The factors found to influence residents’ perception were socioeconomic characteristics (R2 = 0.299) and condition of green infrastructure (R2 = 0.072). This study concluded that residents’ level of satisfaction with green infrastructure was less compared with the level of importance they attached to them, and residents’ perception of green infrastructure was influenced by their socioeconomic characteristics, and condition of green infrastructure, and this implies the need for effective and efficient green infrastructure delivery in the study area.
