Assessing Residential Satisfaction Among The Residents In Ogbomoso Urban Centre, Nigeria

The importance of residents’ satisfaction with housing cannot be over-emphasised as it contributes to the quality of residents’ life. This study assess residential satisfaction among residents in Ogbomoso Urban Centre. Multistage sampling techniques and simple random sampling were applied, with the aid of questionnaire administration among 430 residents in twenty political wards but only 378 copies were properly filled, returned, and analysed. The population of the study area was collected from the National Population Commission to determine the population trend and the number of copies of the questionnaires to be administered in each of the political wards. Residential satisfaction was obtained through factors that contribute to the residents’ satisfaction and satisfaction level. At the beginning of the analysis, a factor analysis was applied to reduce the data set and to group various variables as factors. This is to present the magnitudes of residential satisfaction among the residents. Descriptive analysis with the use of frequency and percentage, cross-tabulation, regression analysis, mean index, residents’ relative satisfaction index, and relative importance satisfaction index were explored to assess residential satisfaction among the residents. The results revealed that the residents are not satisfied with the house and neighbourhoods. Their current demographic status has constrained them to continue staying within their residential neighbourhoods. The authors believe that, there is a need for a realistic and vigorous approach towards the provision of better housing and environment that enhance better living. This will invariably improve residents’ quality of life and reduce the socio-spatial divergence among various social groups.

Modelling the drivers of land use and land cover change of the great Amanzule wetland ecosystem to inform the development policy of the southwestern oil-rich region of Ghana

This study focused on the current and future drivers of land-use change and its impact on the Amanzule wetland. It suggests policy implications for reviewing and strengthening existing policies for sustainable land use. This study employed remote sensing and GIS techniques, including participatory rural appraisal techniques. The administration of questionnaires and focus group discussions were conducted in the Ellembelle and Jomoro municipalities, where the Amanzule wetland provides economic and social services. The results showed increased land use over the last 32 years driven by various drivers, including food crop production, rubber plantations, oil and gas establishments, and infrastructure development. The study further revealed that these drivers could influence land-use change in 18 years (2018–2036). Urbanisation, cropland, rubber plantations, and shrubland will drive land-use change in the study area between 2036 and 2054. The Amanzule wetland area is expected to decrease from 272.34 ha in 2018 to 210.60 ha by 2036. The wetland area is expected to further decrease from 210.60 ha in 2036 to 174.33 ha by 2054. Other land use classes, such as mangrove and swamp forests, are also expected to decrease within the same period. The study recommends advocating for a wetland policy, enforcing the Land Use and Spatial Planning Act 925 and the Petroleum Exploration and Production Act 919 for sustainable development.

Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) As a Predictor of Repeat Patronage of Betting Brands among Youths in Southwest Nigeria

The study evaluates how Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) can be used in predicting and ranking factors influencing repeat patronage of betting brands among youths in Southwest, Nigeria. In an attempt to achieve this, a descriptive survey design was chosen for this study through the administration of questionnaire in collecting data from the sampled population of the study. The study population is non deterministic, since it involves all youths participating in betting across Southwest, Nigeria and no official record of such participation exists anywhere in the country. The study made use of the ten most ranked physical betting platforms in Nigeria, viz: Betway, Parimatch, BetNaija, 1XBet, 22 Bet, Bet 365, Betwinner, Melbet, Wazobet and Nairabet as the study sample frame as well as youths of the six major cities across Southwest States in Nigeria. T he study population is 3,620 youths, in the proportion of 665, 852, 347, 508, 645 and 603 across the six cities chosen. The total population was considered as sample. Hence, an adoption of census sampling technique. The study found that, unemployment comes first, followed by love for sports, hope of winning in future, peer influence, promised bonus and technological advancement in that order.

Determinants of housing demands and residential rent costs in an emerging city in Southern Nigeria

Housing is vital to human experience. It is the basis and foci of daily activities. In Asaba, a strategically located, fast-growing metropolis, city officials are confronted by myriads of urban planning issues, one of which is provision of urban housing. This study attempted to identify the determinants of housing demands and costs of residential rents within the city (Asaba). In this study, the ex-post facto and survey designs were deployed. The data for the study comprised of the primary (questionnaire data) and secondary (historical housing data) types. For effective questionnaire administration, the study area was stratified into high, medium and low income areas. The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were deployed for data analyses. The results indicated that the key determinants of residential housing demand and costs were ease of access to public transport (69 %), nearness to security formations (80 %) and higher demand for houses in supply (75.8 %); and the Spearman's rank correlation showed that these factors were significant at P < 0.05. Other factors such as availability of electricity and access to water supply were not significant determinants of choice of housing at P > 0.05. This is due to the fact that the whole region lacks adequate electricity supply and water is self-harnessed through boreholes. ANOVA showed that there was a significant temporal variation in the cost of residential housing rents at p<0.05 (F-69.03; sig 0.000). Consequently, this study recommends that there is need for the decentralisation of the city; which should be realised by an efficient development of the suburbs to high standards that would meet the requirements of prospective renters. Policy development and establishment of basic facilities in the suburbs, would help actualise this decentralization. Also, collaboration between government and private developers could yield more supply in the housing stuck, consequently reducing costs of housing.

Significant Demographic Factors Fuelling Housing Deficit in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria

This article assesses the significant demographic factors fuelling housing deficit in Ado-Ekiti, Nigeria. Using a mixed method approach as survey design coupled with a combination of purposive and stratified sampling technique, 1254 households were selected for administration of questionnaires during data collection process. Questionnaires, interviews were the major instruments of data collection from seven residential development corridors (RDCs) in Ado-Ekiti. Ministries, Agencies and Departments (MDAs) supported secondary data. Findings revealed that high population growth, rapid urbanisation and migration increased housing deficit in the study area. Hence, this study observed an increase in live births (162, 901) than deaths (45, 046) in Ado-Ekiti. Also, findings revealed an increase in building concentration (57.7%) from 2000-date. Similarly, this study observed an increase in challenges such as urban sprawl and infrastructure deficiency (L-INFRA) encountered as a result of rapid urbanisation. The study noted an increase in quantitative housing deficit (223,086) in 2023. Thus, a quantitative housing deficit of 334,554 housing units would arise in 2034.Furthermore, sharing of dwellings with other households (SHAD), a resultant effect of high migration trends constituted 43.4 percent across the RDCs in Ado-Ekiti. Also, improved infrastructural facilities (33.8%) was the modal reason for staying (RESTAY) in the study area. Using Paired T-test, this study further validated that a perfect positive relationship (1.000) exists between population growth and housing deficit in Ado-Ekiti. Therefore, this study recommends adoption of effective Family Planning Methods (FPMs), regional distribution of infrastructural facilities and conversion of under-utilised lands for an efficient housing delivery in Ado-Ekiti.

Examination of Housing Quality in The Peri-Urban Areas of Akure, Nigeria

Rapid urban population expansion, high living costs, and a need for affordable housing all encourage migration to Akure’s peri-urban districts. This drive has led to increased land utilization for housing development in peri-urban areas. This study evaluated housing quality in the peri-urban areas of Oba-Ile, Oda, and Ibule-Soro in Akure. Households were the unit of analysis, with one household head per building selected for questionnaire administration. Based on an average household size of five people per family and five households per building in Ondo State, the total number of households in the three locations was 47,110. From the 47,110 households, 800 households (1.7%) were randomly selected for the questionnaire administration. Data from the field survey were subjected to statistical analysis. The results revealed that some buildings were structurally unsound; most buildings had corrugated iron roofs and lacked sanitation infrastructure; and open defecation was commonplace, particularly in Ibule-Soro. These findings call for better urban planning and investment in basic amenities to improve housing quality and living standards in peri-urban areas.

A Structural equation modeling analysis of generative AI chatbots adoption among students and educators in higher education

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping educational paradigms, this study explores AI-based chatbot adoption in higher education among students and educators. Employing a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, the research focuses on developing and validating a comprehensive model to understand the multifaceted factors impacting the acceptance and use of these chatbots. The methodology integrates an extensive literature review, construction of a theoretical model, administration of a detailed questionnaire to a representative sample from the higher education sector, coupled with advanced SEM techniques for data analysis and interpretation. The SEM analysis validates the model's robustness and highlights the relationships between several key factors affecting users' perspectives and chatbots adoption. Results reveal a predominantly positive perception towards AI-chatbots among both students and educators, underscoring the potential to substantially enrich their educational journey. However, it also uncovers critical concerns pertaining to trust, privacy, response bias, and information accuracy. Moreover, the study offers valuable insights into how moderators such as technological proficiency, user roles, and gender influence the adoption model relationships. This emphasizes the need for customizing AI-chatbots deployment to meet the diverse needs of users effectively. Contributing a robust framework for understanding users' perceptions towards AI-chatbots and their adoption patterns, this study offers actionable insights for educational leaders, policymakers, and technology developers. It also lays the groundwork for future research, including longitudinal studies to evaluate the long-term impact of these technologies, investigations into their effect on learning outcomes, and explorations of the ethical and privacy considerations involved.

Modeling Gender Gap in Access to Empowerment and Agricultural Productive Resources: Evidence from Farming Households in Kaduna State

This research examined gender access to empowerment and agricultural productive resources with a gender dimension. Respondents were selected with random and stratified sampling techniques. Primary data were generated through the administration of well-structured questionnaire. Generated data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Women Empowerment Index (WEI), Global Gender Parity Index (GGPI) and Gini Inequality Index (GII). The result shows that 37% and 60.20% of women and men had access to empowerment programmes respectively in the study area. WEI result showed that women had low access to empowerment variable (WEI = 0.67), the GGPI revealed that women (GGPI = 0.63) had low parity as against the men (GGPI = 0.77) with higher parity index. Furthermore, the Gini Inequality Index that there is inequality in access to agricultural productive resources between men (GII = 0.286) and women (GII = 0.383). The research concluded women had low empowerment and low access to agricultural productive resources as against the men. The research recommended that government programmes should be mainstreamed to ensure that more women have access to them and the extension department should design their programmes to ensure that more women have access to extension services in the study area.

Forest Clearance and Fragmentation for Charcoal Production: The Case of Bimbia Bonadikombo Forest, South West Region, Cameroon

The exploitation activities of man on natural resources have hardly been sustainable. This study examined the implication of charcoal production on the Bimbia Bonadikombo forest and it’s environ. The study employed both direct field observation and questionnaire administration for data gathering. Questionnaires were administered to charcoal producers and persons involved in charcoal related activities. Persons were selected using snowball technique. A total of 42 copies of questionnaires were administered to charcoal producers and related activities. Tree species used for charcoal production were noted and identified. The questionnaire was divided into five sections:(i), socio-demographic characteristics of charcoal producers, (ii), methods of charcoal production and species selected (iii), aspects influencing charcoal production and the implication on the ecosystem, (iv), seasonal trends and challenges faced (v) mitigation strategies used). Data collected were organized in Microsoft Excel and Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for the analyses. Pearson (ρ) correlation association was used for the relationship between variables of production and the demand of charcoal. The result revealed that, majority of the respondents, 78.57%, were males while females were least 21.43%. Majority of the respondents (54.76%) were between the ages of 31-46 while the least with ages &gt; 47. Lophira alata 14 (35.71%) was the tree species ranked 1st while Irvingia gabonensis1 (2.38%) was the least and ranked 8th. The main aspect that influenced production was revenue generated 14 (33.33%) while weak institutions 2(4.76%) and crises situations 2(2(4.76%) were the least. Deforestation 12(28.57%) and habitats destruction 8(10.04%) were reported as the main effects caused by charcoal production. Production and the demand of charcoal variables showed a positive association (0.153±.361). The management strategies employed were: only matured trees were used for charcoal production, permanent charcoal pit kiln are dug out of forest canopy and only few tree species are used for charcoal production. For mitigation purposes used are: domestication, protecting wild charcoal trees in their farms and nurseries establishment. This study recommends that charcoal is a major source of energy and alternative source of energy when others failed or insufficient. Therefore, this source of energy can be enhanced to be more eco friendly and environmentally sustainable.

Relationship between cyberbullying, anxiety, and depression among university students in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional study.

Cyberbullying is online aggressive behavior that involves insulting or threatening others, and can cause severe psychological issues, particularly in students. This is often attributed to the frequency and anonymity of the bullying behaviors. Given the lack of research on this issue in Saudi Arabia, the current study sought to evaluate the prevalence of cyberbullying and its relationship with anxiety, depression, and stress among university students in Jeddah. This cross-sectional study involved administration of an online questionnaire to 877 university students in Jeddah. Cyberbullying and cybervictimization were assessed using the Revised Cyberbullying Inventory scale (RCBI-II) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale - 21 Items (DASS-21). The majority of students had the experience of being a cyberbully (73%), while 54% had been a victim of cyberbullying. No significant association was found between gender and cyberbullying, with both males and females reporting high rates of cyberbullying. The majority of participants (n = 498) also reported significant depressive symptoms. A significant positive association was found between cyberbullying/cybervictimization and depression, anxiety, and stress. A considerable number of university students were found to be victims of cyberbullying, with a strong correlation between cyberbullying and anxiety, depression, and stress, indicating a potential impact on the psychological well-being of students. To address this issue, increased awareness of cyberbullying is needed, along with implementation of preventive measures such as educational campaigns and empathy-building activities among students.

Analysis of Public and Private Treatment Services for Substance Use Disorders in Kaduna State, Nigeria

Inappropriate use of substances, also known as substance abuse, especially among youths constitutes a problem globally. The trajectory of substance abuse exposes individuals to various health problems and disorders. To this end, the provision of treatment services is considered an important measure towards addressing the side effects of the inappropriate use of substances. Focusing on Kaduna State, Nigeria, this study analyzes public and private facilities available for individuals facing substance use disorders. The study employed quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, with the administration of questionnaires and in-depth interview guides to respondents and research participants in selected treatment facilities. Copies of questionnaires were administered to eighty-six staff while in-depth interviews were conducted on eight (8) staff of the selected treatment facilities. The study leverages Talcott Parson’s social system theory to explain the subject matter. Findings from the study revealed that the selected facilities provided evidence-based psychosocial treatment services to the victims of substance abuse. In addition to other medical services provided by public and private treatment facilities, findings revealed that public facilities provided HIV/AIDs services than private facilities. Unlike private treatment facilities, the study discovered that wraparound services (such as vocational training) are minimally provided by public facilities. Despite the importance of supportive services towards optimal rehabilitation of victims of substance abuse, the study revealed that both public and private facilities neglect such services. The study therefore recommends strong collaboration among the existing treatment facilities towards the provision of optimal skills and rehabilitation of victims of substance abuse and its associated disorders.

Investigating the Impact of Prolonged Sitting and Lack of Physical Activity on the Musculoskeletal Health of School Students

Background Prolonged sitting and lack of physical activity have become very common issues among school students due to increased screen time and academic schedules.

The objectives include identifying common musculoskeletal problems, analysing the correlation between sedentary behaviors and these issues Setting The research was conducted in various schools, encompassing a diverse population of students aged 12-17 years. The schools were selected to represent different socio-economic backgrounds and geographical locations to ensure a comprehensive analysis. Design A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. The quantitative component involved the administration of structured questionnaires to gather data on students' sitting habits, physical activity levels, and musculoskeletal complaints. The qualitative component included in-depth interviews with selected students, teachers, and health professionals to gain deeper insights into the causes and effects of sedentary behaviors.

Building Collapse and Its Prevention in Lagos: The Role of Estate Surveyors and Valuers

Building collapse incidents in Nigeria appear to be on the increase with the cases witnessed in Lagos State being the worst. The situation has been endemic notwithstanding the efforts of professionals and other stakeholders in the built environment. Numerous literatures exist on the issue of building collapse. However, they mostly focus on the roles of other professionals such as Structural Engineers, Builders, Architects and Town Planners. On the contrary, this study centers on highlighting the significance of Estate Surveyors and Valuers contributions by getting their perspectives on building collapse , particularly in Lagos Island areas VI, Lekki, Lagos Island &amp; Ikoyi) of Lagos State. The study employed a conceptual model which identified various factors responsible for building collapse in Lagos Island areas of Lagos, the major roles of Estate Surveyors and Valuers which can facilitate a significant reduction building collapse in Lagos State, the challenges faced by Estate Surveyors and Valuers in ensuring building collapse prevention in Lagos State and evaluated the effectiveness of existing regulations and guidelines governing the role of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in building collapse prevention in Lagos State. Data collection was by the administration of a well-structured questionnaire. Out of 80 copies of the questionnaire administered using Purposive Expert-Homogeneous sampling technique, 83.75% response rate were retrieved and evaluated for further analysis, with mean item score, and inferential statistics using Chi-square Test for the hypothesis test. The result indicates that Estate Surveyors and Valuers have significant impact in the prevention of building collapse. Based on the research findings, some useful recommendations were advanced.

Spatial Assessment of the Effect of Income on Healthcare Facilities Patronage in Kogi-East Senatorial District, Kogi State, Nigeria

This study assessed the level of income on health facility patronage in Kogi East, Kogi State, Nigeria. Primary data necessary for this study were collected from patients, health workers and residents of Kogi East through the administration of questionnaires, personal observations and obtaining of satellite imageries for creation of digital health facilities distribution map of the study area, while the secondary sources includes published documents. A total of 400 questionnaires were administered; however, only 395 were returned for analysis. Results were presented in both tables and charts while the hypothesis was tested using Correlation Analysis. Findings from this research revealed that majority of the respondents (58.80%) do not patronize any health facilities due to the high cost of treatment. The study also found that the major illness that affects respondents in Anyigba is Malaria Fever (76.5%); the result also shows 87.5% of the respondents disclosing that money has prevented them from patronizing health facilities. The study further found that the socio-economic characteristics of the residents/patients play a significant role in determining the frequency of visits to healthcare facilities; this is substantiated with the Pearson correlation test result that revealed a significant relationship between patronage pattern and monthly income of the respondents. This research also revealed that the lower the incomes of an individual, the limited access such individual would have to health facilities and vice versa. Given the z-score of 0.288134438445, the distribution pattern of the health facilities does not appear to be significantly different than random, as the healthcare facilities map also support the above claim. It is therefore recommended that efforts should be put in place to improve the socio-economic status of individuals so as to improve their access and utilization of healthcare facilities. Government at all levels as well as the organized private sector should carry out massive public awareness on the importance of health insurance scheme.

Health and Safety Information Management on Construction Sites in Lagos State, Nigeria

Management of health and safety information helps to achieve a safe work environment by educating construction participants on risks and hazards on sites. This study therefore identified and assessed health and safety information on construction sites with a view to enhancing safe work environment. Data for the study were collected from site operatives on construction sites of registered construction organisations in Lagos State, Nigeria. On each site visited, three (3) site operatives were randomly selected from bricklayers, carpenters, iron benders, and so on working on the identified sites. This gave a sample size of one hundred and sixty-five (165). Questionnaire administration was adopted for data collection. The total number of copies of the questionnaire retrieved was one hundred and twenty-six (126) -76% response rate. Mean score and standard deviation were the analytical tools used to rank the information, while Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance was used to determine the degree of agreement among the respondents. The analysis revealed that the most frequent health and safety information on construction sites were first aid procedures, safety signs and symbols, protective equipment. Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance revealed strong agreement among the respondents on the ranking. The safety of operatives should be considered the number one priority; hence, the contractor should ensure the provision of adequate and well-equipped first-aid boxes on every site. Posters, safety, and warning signs indicating different hazardous working conditions should be provided on the sites. When these operatives are healthy, work can go smoothly on construction sites.

Workplace stressor factors, profiles and the relationship to career stage in UK veterinarians, veterinary nurses and students.

Veterinary professionals experience higher psychological distress and lower wellbeing compared with the general population. Identifying workplace stressors is key to understanding and alleviating these difficulties. Identify the severity of workplace stressors in veterinary professions across different levels of professional experience. A cross-sectional quantitative design was utilised via administration of a veterinary stressor questionnaire that measured the severity of 93 generic and veterinary-specific workplace stressors. A total of 658 participants reported stressor severity score. Factor analysis revealed four main stressor categories: workload and job demands, client relations stress, performance and accountability, patient care challenges. An inverse relationship was found between experience level and stressor severity scores. Furthermore, the most severe stressors varied as a function of career stage. Stressor severity tends to decrease with increasing experience levels. Stressors can be categorised by theme and unique stressor profiles can be derived for practitioners according to experience level. This knowledge can assist in the design and delivery of workplace support initiatives. Identify key stressors across different levels of experience is important in focusing efforts to support people in the workplace.

Assessing User Satisfaction with Facilities in Medium-Cost Strata Residence

Strata residences require more intensive facilities management than landed residences due to the shared common properties between strata owners. However, despite the establishment of the strata building sector, there is still a lack of clarity on what constitutes 'good facility management'. This study aimed to assess resident satisfaction with strata residence facilities. The research design employed a quantitative research method, involving the administration of questionnaires to gather the required data from residents. The findings of the research indicate that enhancing the satisfaction of strata residents is achievable through a comprehensive understanding of their expectations, identification of areas within service delivery requiring improvement, and subsequent implementation of appropriate changes. Management corporations could identify areas of service delivery that needed improvement and make changes to enhance the satisfaction of strata residents.

This study aims to uncover the perceptions of graduate students on the content, examples, exercises/tasks, and presentation/format of the textbook "Analisa Wacana dan Pengajarannya" for the subject of Discourse Analysis and Language Teaching (DA and LT). This descriptive qualitative research involved students’ perceptions of the selection of discourse textbooks in relation to their needs as the object of the research. Meanwhile, the subjects of the research were graduate students of the English Education Department in one of the state universities in Surakarta, Indonesia. The data collection methods utilized were the administration of questionnaires and document analysis. The findings revealed that nearly all students expressed a favorable response about the analysis of the textbook, including its content, examples, exercises/tasks, and presentation/format. Nevertheless, several comments provided valuable input to the instructor of the DA and LT Subject, prompting revisions to certain sections of the book.

The Effectiveness of a Critical Literacy Model to Improve Students’ Critical Literacy Skills

In the current era of media saturation, the emphasis on teaching reading is on cultivating students' critical literacy abilities. This enables them to examine the specific social and political biases conveyed by an author and form a critical perspective on the topics addressed in a text. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a critical literacy model in enhancing students' critical literacy abilities during English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Reading classes. A quantitative analytic method was employed for experimental study. The study was conducted in the English Language Education Study Program at a private university situated in Yogyakarta. There were 20 students in the sampling. The individuals in question were students in their fifth semester who enroll in the Critical Reading Class during the Odd Semester of the Academic Year 2022/2023. The data were acquired through the methods of observation, questionnaire administration, interviews, and reading assessments. The study's findings showed that the model was effective, as evidenced by the results of the independent T test indicate a statistically significant difference, with a significance level (two-tailed) below 0.05. In addition, the scores of the pre-test and post-tests in the experimental class surpassed those in the control class. The experimental group demonstrated a substantial improvement in their post-test score, achieving a gain of 3.64 points. In summary, the implementation of the critical literacy framework yielded significant improvements in students' critical literacy skills across various dimensions, including precision, coherence, profundity, analysis, and the identification of latent implications.

Geospatial assessment of the efficiency of waste disposal facilities in Lugbe, FCT

Solid waste consists of substances or objects that are disposed of and are mostly found where there are human activities, these substances are accumulations of waste materials generated from domestic, commercial, and industrial operations that are deemed unworthy or rejected and required to be disposed of. The study aims to assess the efficiency of waste disposal facilities in Lugbe FCT, with specific objectives to; evaluate the spatial distribution of waste collection sites (dumpsites) in the area, evaluate the proximity of dumpsites (waste collection sites) to the residential areas, and evaluate the level of appropriate use of waste bins in the study area. Both primary and secondary data were used for this study. The primary data used are the X and Y coordinates of dumpsite locations and questionnaire administration while the secondary data includes; the Google Earth image. Nearest neighbour analysis was performed on the dumpsite's coordinate locations to affirm its spatial distribution pattern in the study area. Buffering analysis was performed on the dumpsite locations with 300m standard to identify the proximity of dumpsites to buildings while the descriptive statistical method was used to analyze the retrieved administered questionnaires to assess the level of the appropriate use of waste bins in the study area. The result of the dispersed spatial distribution of the dumpsites and the result of the proximity analysis performed on dumpsites to the residential area revealed that buildings were found around almost all the dumpsites except the Park Estate dumpsite where no building is found around the dumpsite. At the level of waste bin appropriateness, all the waste bin types were adopted but 72% of waste bin types are appropriate.
