    This study investigates the determinants of residential location choice in Bosso local government area (LGA) and Chanchaga local government area (LGA) of Minna, Niger State, Nigeria. Structured questionnaires were administered on tenants who are household heads in the study area to weigh 15 factors that influence their choice of current homes. The discriminant function analysis was employed. The empirical results exhibit statistically significant and largest discriminant loading of factors such as availability of fence wall and large floor area of apartment (dwelling attributes) and location of property in a particular neighbourhood (neighbourhood attribute) as the determinants of residential location of tenants in the study area. The study therefore recommends that all stakeholders in residential property sector in the study area should ensure that building accommodation details are allocated adequate space to meet the needs of tenants and buildings are fenced before offer for letting. The study also recommends that policy makers and planners should ensure that efforts are geared toward restructuring of the unplanned neighbourhoods in Bosso and Chanchaga local government areas (LGAs) whilst maintaining and improving the available facilities and services in planned neighbourhoods. These to a great extent will proportionately enhance satisfaction and shape the residential location decisions of tenants resulting in maximum investment returns to all residential property investors across all the neighbourhoods in Minna.

    The Impact of Noise and Dust Level on Rental Price of Residential Tenements around Lafarge Cement Factory in Ewekoro Town, Nigeria
    (Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, 2014) Kemiki Olurotimi Adebowale; Ojetunde Ismail; Ayoola Adeyosoye Babatunde
    This study employed hedonic pricing model to investigate the impact of noise and dust spewed from a cement factory on a sample of 126 tenements from 11 residential settlements within Ewekoro local housing market in Nigeria. Market-wide hedonic model for all the 126 tenements within 5.5km of the cement factory) was estimated. In addition, two separate unrestricted hedonic models were also estimated (the first consisting of 38 tenements within 2.5km of the factory and the other comprising 88 tenements located between 2.5km to 5.5km of the factory). The hedonic models which take the doublelog functional form were estimated with house rent (a proxy for house price) as the dependent variable. Generally, the results of the market-wide model revealed that, dust level and noise, which are negative externalities from the cement factory dampen rent by 21.90% (N 13815) and 1.49% (N 24.80) respectively within the study area. Findings from the unrestricted models further signify that tenement rents tend to decrease with increasing distance to Lafarge cement factory due to severity of dust and noise. As panacea to this problem it is recommended that government should provide policy response - the introduction of effluent fees which would force the cement and other manufacturing companies to internalize their externalities by paying for noise and dust pollution. The basic objective of such policy response is for manufacturing companies to move to the use of energy efficient and eco-friendly plants that generate less noise and dust in their production operations. On the other, the cement company should also imbibe Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as part of its efforts in providing a sustainable living environment for the residents in Ewekoro town.
