However, community as an embodiment of stakeholders is an essential aspect to managing the global risk exposures. The argument is that the immediate community plays a vital role in risk management. The study methodology used in exploring community consultations in risk management was through the triangulation of researchers’ experience and a sectoral approach which entail the convergent parallel mixed-method of community consultations. Secondary data was obtained from some selected community consultation programmes on risk management organised by selected risk management agencies in Nigeria’s South-Eastern and Northern regions. The Youth Transformational Leadership Collaborative Initiative within the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), National Youth Service Corps and the NEMA-Military Joint Task Force, and the Borno State residents’ programme reports iterate that communities are frontline stakeholders in risk management. A case study of community disaster risk management in some African countries was also documented. Extensive consultations with critical stakeholders coupled with a healthy sustained collaboration among the stakeholders led to improved coordination in the fight against insurgency in Borno state communities. It was identified that coordinated information dissemination between communities and the Task Force was an effective mechanism for community policing and risk reductions. It was identified that a low level of public awareness of disaster risk, unavailability of relevant data, weak capacity and inadequate personnel, lack of political will, amongst others, were the challenges to community consultation in risk management in Nigeria. The study proposed a community-based disaster risk management approach, which entails intensive and extensive consultation to build people’s capacity of coping with disaster risks towards creating safer and resilient communities.Item Spatio-temporal variance; infrastructure and urban development drive in Minna North-Central Nigeria(Taylor and Francis, 2023-05-02) Medayese, S.O.; Magidimisha-Chipungu, H.H.; Mutsaa, E.; Chipungu, L.: This paper sought to analyse the City’s land use changes between 1999 and 2019 using a spatio temporal analysis and change detection method. The research also simulate land-use changes in Minna for 2029, the locational attributes of various infrastructure were also appraised using the Nearest Neighbour analysis through a collection of infrastructure coordinates in the City of Minna. An assessment of the roles of city infrastructures in urban growth. Spatio-temporal image processing and analysis, mosaicing, and artificial neural networks project the extent of urban growth between 1999 and 2019 while simulating the growth for ten years to 2029. Conclusively, the City of Minna depicts an urban environment without proper planning and standards while providing the opportunity for a liveable city. The city is increasing and providing critical infrastructure, but spatial distribution is lopsided, and this must be adequately and urgently addressed for sustainability and liveability.Item Appraisal of Perception on the Re-emergence of Urban Planning and Physical Development in South-Western Nigeria(Centre for Human Settlement and Urban Development Journal, 2016-12-05) Medayese, S.O.; Agbola, S.B.; Shaibu, S.I.; Maikudi, M.; Yakatum, M.M.Item USERS’ PERCEPTION OF URBAN PARKS AND GREEN NETWORKS IN IBADAN(SINGAPOREAN JOuRNAl Of buSINESS EcONOmIcS, ANd mANAGEmENt StudIES, 2016-05-05) Popoola, A.A.; Medayese, S.O.; Olaniyan, O.M.; Onyemenam, P.I.; Adeleye, B.M.The appearance and outlook of a city are defined by many spatial elements. Urban gardens form an integral component of such spatial elements. Urban gardens help provide a framework on which eco-friendly environment and sustainable development lies. The aesthetic, air quality purification and therapeutic benefits that these gardens provide cannot be over-emphasized. However, many of these gardens lack the infrastructure that could make them function and meet international standards. The aim of this study is to examine the users’ perception of urban parks and green network in Ibadan. The specific objectives are to: investigate the various factors that determine the outlook of urban gardens; map out the locations of the urban gardens; appraise the current condition of the gardens and green infrastructure; and recommend appropriate measures for mitigating the current challenges affecting the identified gardens and parks. Data was gathered through the random sampling of 189 questionnaires. Geospatial analysis was used to map out the various locations of the existing gardens, and it revealed that the gardens are clustered along some local government areas. From the study, 52.4% of the respondents argued that some of the urban gardens lack complementary facilities or are in poor states. In view of the identified challenges, and the potentials of urban gardens improve the Ibadan cityscape, it is imperative for city planners, urban managers, and public authorities to commence a process of revitalizing the existing urban gardens and also establish a new garden with a view toward exploring its economic and ecological benefits.Item Community participation as a premise for hangwurian city development in North Central Nigeria(Heliyon, 2023-11-14) Medayese, S.O.; Magidimisha-Chipungu, H.H.; Chipungu, LThe Hangwurian City Development Model evolved to create a linkage within the concepts of environmental awareness, urban governance, and management. Others are sustainable urban development, urban liveability, and inclusive physical development. These were measured from various indicators ranging from population, environmental knowledge, economic prosperity, quality of life, and safety. The research sorts the critical objective of analysing the significant level of the indicator variables’; and determine the predictive relevance of the indicator variables. The exploratory research employed the partial least square using SmartPLS to evaluate the variables, collecting quantitative data through the open data tool kit from three selected cities of Lokoja, Minna, and Lafia in North-Central Nigeria. The research sampled 399 respondents across the cities randomly selected amongst residents aged 18 years and more reliably targeted household heads as the unit of measurement is the household. The research findings show that most of the examined variables have Cronbach’s Alpha above 0.7, and most of the retained variables have a significant value of greater or equal to 0.7. The average variance of the indicators where very substantial as most were within the 0.5 to 0.6 band. Most of the evaluated indicators have a significant performance index of between 50 and 65 %. The research recommended that this model be applied as a procedural model to guide city development at a regional scale. Hence, it was concluded that for city development to occur and evolve without ills which Hangwurian city development stands for, it must be viewed from the path linkage and significance of environment, governance, sustainability, liveability, and inclusion.Item Mediation Function of Desired Quality of life Between PlaceMaking and Liveable Communities In African Cities(FORUM GEOGRAFI, 2021-12-04) Medayese, S.O.; Magidimisha-Chipungu, H.H.The challenges confronting urban spaces in developing countries have become so enormous, and they continue to challenge the capacity of States in these countries to respond effectively. These challenges range from poor infrastructure to weak infrastructure governance systems, which have created urban liveability differentials within these Cities across Africa. Therefore, this paper examines the mediation role of Desired Quality of life between Place-making and Liveable communities in Africa using a partial least squares path analytic method. This study employed a questionnaire to investigate the desired quality of life criteria, the place-making preferences, and the focus of liveable communities within these African Cities through an online Google form survey posted through social media outlets to different respondents across various cities in Africa. The Snowball technique was employed to achieve sampling of 390 respondents across Africa. The responses were synthesised and analysed using a path analytic approach; the paper examines the relationship between the study’s constructs. The data analysis findings show that place-making influences Liveable communities and Desired Quality of life mediates the relationship between place-making and liveable communities. The results indicate that Cities that prioritise Quality of life and placemaking have better liveable community spaces over those that do not. The study findings have implications for Liveable communities, as it could help city development planners to acknowledge the influence of quality of life on Placemaking and liveable communities. The study contributes to the current debate on measuring urban livability within the African City Space by creating a set of desired indicators that suit the African setting’s needs regarding ÀÞ hÏé rastructure planning and provision.Item EVOLVING HANGWURAN CITY DEVELOPMENT MODEL THROUGH PARTIAL LEAST SQUARE APPROACH IN NORTH-CENTRAL NIGERIA(CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development (7) 1: 113-136, 2024-04-04) Medayese, S.O.; Magidimisha-Chipungu, H.H; Chipungu, LThe need for a paradigmatic shift in city development ideology has become increasingly evident over the years. In response to this need, the Hangwurian City Development Model was developed to establish a connection between the concepts of environmental awareness, urban governance, and management. This model also integrates sustainable urban development, urban liveability, and inclusive physical development. The research sets a critical objective of analyzing the significant levels of various indicator variables. The exploratory research utilized partial least squares (PLS) via SmartPLS to evaluate the variables, collecting quantitative data through the open data toolkit from three selected cities: Lokoja, Minna, and Lafia in North-Central Nigeria. The study sampled 843 respondents across the cities, randomly selected among residents aged 18 years and older, with a focus on household heads as the unit of measurement. The research findings indicate that most of the examined variables have Cronbach's Alpha above 0.7, and most of the retained variables have a significance value greater than or equal to 0.7. The average variance explained by the indicators was very substantial, with most falling within the 0.5 to 0.6 range. Therefore, the research recommends that, due to the significance of the indicators and the validity of the internal and external data, this model can be applied as a procedural framework to guide city development on a regional scale. Consequently, it was concluded that for city development to progress and evolve without the issues that Hangwurian city development aims to address, it must be approached through the interconnectedness and significance of environment, governance, sustainability, liveability, and inclusion.
