  • Using Geographical Information System (GIS) Techniques in Mapping Traffic Situation Along Selected Road Corridors in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria
    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.5, No.10, 2015 Using Geographical Information System (GIS) Techniques in Mapping Traffic Situation along Selected Road Corridors in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria Adebayo. H. Oluwasegun Department of Geography & Regional Planning,Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State Email: [email protected] Abstract Moving from one point to another in any city in the World is an endurance test, regardless of income or social status, the conditions under which people travel is becoming more and more difficult. The traffic situation in Lagos Metropolis is no different. In this paper, effort has been made to map out traffic situations along selected corridors in Lagos Metropolis, Nigeria using Geographical Information System Techniques. The data used in this study were obtained from Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) agency, topographical and road map of Lagos metropolis from Lagos state ministry of Land s and Survey and Lagos state ministry of Transport. In addition, primary data include the geographic coordinates of the selected traffic corridors using GPS (Global Positioning System), observation of the nature of vehicular traffic congestion and traffic counts along the corridors. The data obtained was entered and used to developed traffic situation information system (TSIS). Data retrieved and spatial analysis from attributes were shown using ArcGIS 10. The results were presented in map format which makes for easy interpretation and quick decision-making. Geographic Information System is an effective tool to display different levels of congestion and vehicular volume along digital traffic corridors.

    Structural assessment of a fire damaged Highway Bridge in Lagos-Nigeria with BRIMOS® Structural Health Monitoring R. Veit-Egerer, M.Widmann and P. Furtner VCE Holding GmbH, Vienna, Austria ABSTRACT: On the 11th of July in 2008 a fire caused extensive damage to the underside of the superstructure and the piers of the Eko Bridge in Lagos. In several bridge parts the concrete cover at the superstructure’s underside failed and the exposed reinforcement bars were partly buckled. Furthermore at several piers concrete has broken off up to a depth of the first rein- forcement layers. In those areas where fire caused the most excessive damage, additional tem- porary supports were erected – surrounding certain piers. In the Site Inspection Report Julius Berger Nigeria PLC stated that without immediate investigations of the structure the safety and stability of the bridges could not be reviewed. In order to broaden the insight on structural integrity and the load bearing capacity a dynamic bridge monitoring campaign was undertaken. Along with conventional bridge assessment this investigation supports the determination and localization of structural deficiencies. Particularly evaluation and judgement, to what extent the fire has caused serious damage and tailored recommendations regarding possible retrofit and maintenance interventions were need- ed to support the decision process of the bridge owner. 1 STRUCTURAL INFORMATION The Eko Main Bridge East is located in Ijora, Lagos and connects Lagos Mainland with Lagos Island (Figure 1). The prestressed structure consists of two separate load-bearing structures – one for each driving direction. The Main Bridge East which was part of the dynamic investiga- tion has a total length of 190 m and was opened to traffic in the early 1970ies.

  • Reviewed Paper Assessment of Metropolitan
    % reviewed paper Assessment of Metropolitan Urban Forms and City Geo-spatial Configurations using Green Infrastructure Framework: The Case Study of Lagos Island, Lagos State, Nigeria Adesina John A., Timothy Michael A., Akintaro Emmanuel A. (Adesina John A., Department of Architecture, University of Lagos, Lagos, [email protected]) (Timothy Michael A., Department of Surveying &Geo-informatics, Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State, [email protected]) (Akintaro Emmanuel A., Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State, [email protected]) 1 ABSTRACT For over three decades, the economic and commercial activities of both local and foreign organizations, firms, industries and institutions have been moving to the Lagos Island in search for a reputable business atmosphere and this has led to the emergence of vertical urbanizations of the area thereby turning it into a foremost Central Business District (CBD). The Lagos metropolis is the economic hub of West Africa and the Lagos Island has the bulk of the economic activities. Most of the ill-controlled infrastructural developments are along the major streets and the Island districts are supposed to have certain spatial configurations expected of a metropolitan city like Lagos. The basic urban form design policies and theories had been neglected long time ago thereby making the streets faced with chaotic smart growths, worrisome urban resilience and harsh biophilic architecture with little or no consideration to green landscapes. This study is situated upon the Urban Morphological Theory which investigates the relationships between urban design spatial configurations, landscape and ecological urbanism and some other green city conceptual frameworks. Scholars in the field of landscape urbanism had made divergent or opposed theoretical, conceptual and methodological choices, opportunities in the metamorphosis of a city forms and streetscapes.

    IMPROVING INTRA-URBAN PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN THE LAGOS METROPOLITAN AREA (CASE STUDY OF LAGOS ISLAND CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT) by Babatunde Kayode Tugbobo 213569974 Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Urban and Regional Planning in the School of the Built Environment and Development Studies, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Howard College Campus, Durban. November 2017 ABSTRACT This study investigated ways to improve intra-urban pedestrian safety in the Lagos metropolitan area. The study aimed to encourage increased pedestrian activity by identifying the practical steps that would result in significant improvements to pedestrian amenity, safety and linkages within Lagos Island CBD and the metropolitan area in general. To achieving these objectives, this study employed the use of scientific research methodologies. Data were collected in two phases: secondary and primary data sources. Secondary data includes review of relevant literatures. Quantitative data was gathered, primarily through a field survey (questionnaire), which proved efficient in gathering contemporary data on traffic and pedestrian characteristics. This sample size had 95% level of confidence with disproportionate 5% sampling error. Primary traffic and pedestrian data (including socio-economic and demographic characteristics, and an origin and destination count, etc.) at an aggregated level. Traffic and pedestrian datasets from the field study were adjusted by means of normalization, which enabled amalgamation of these datasets. Data analysis mainly involved statistical methods and the use of computer technology. The study’s findings show there has been a significant increase in the number of private cars on the roads. While the traditional pedestrian system is regarded as a way of life worldwide, in Lagos Island CBD, walking and pedestrians seem to be regarded as subservient and an inconvenience to the flow of automobiles.

  • Capitalist Regulation and Rescaling of Public Transport Governance: a Case of Nigeria＊
    Hitotsubashi Journal of Economics 54 (2013), pp.251-277. Ⓒ Hitotsubashi University CAPITALIST REGULATION AND RESCALING OF PUBLIC TRANSPORT GOVERNANCE: A CASE OF NIGERIA＊ ＊＊ FUJIO MIZUOKA Graduate School of Economics, Hitotsubashi University Kunitachi, Tokyo 186-8601, Japan [email protected] AND KOHEI SHIMONO [email protected] Accepted September 2013 Abstract Taking a multi-scalar approach to capitalism from the perspective of recent economic geography and regarding public transport as an element of capitalist regulation, this study compares the provincial and national spatial scales. Rescaling occurs when provinces assume responsibility for supplying transport services to achieve provincial-scale regulation. This process occurs when the province is better equipped than the state to provide the intensity and efficiency of governance needed to regulate services. Comparison of the National Railway of Nigeria, falling under the federal government and LAMATA falling under the province of Lagos, empirically ascertains rescaling in regulation and identifies ʻthe cycle of democratic governanceʼ. Keywords: rescaling, Nigeria, the Nigerian Railway Corporation, LAMATA, capitalist regulation JEL Classification Code: R420 I. Theoretical Background 1. The Multi-Scalar Nature of Capitalist Regulation and Rescaling In conventional regulation theory, the state is the spatial unit of capitalist regulation.

Accepted 25 May, 2010 Leaf samples of Terminalia catappa L (Almond) trees dominant in Lagos metropolis, Nigeria were collected from 34 sampling points located within dominant land-uses (commercial, residential, industrial, institutional, acquisition/parks, dumpsites/incinerators and transportation) along traffic corridors and six stations located 250 m away (as control) during the short wet and short dry seasons for two years. Concentration of trace elemental pollutants: (Pb, Cd, Cu, Cr, Al, Zn, As, Hg, Fe, Mn, Mg) were determined by laboratory analyses of leaf samples. Multivariate analysis was used to test for significant geographical and seasonal variations in air pollutants. Total suspended particulate matter varied from 22.36 - 29.07 mg/m3 against WHO Air Quality Standard (AQS), 0.05 - 0.15 mg/m3; Sulphur- dioxide and Ozone varied from 1.1 - 1.73 mg/m3 and 0.01 - 0.18 mg/m3 respectively as against 0.00125 and 0.0015 mg/m3 AQS. ANOVA showed spatio-temporal variations in pollutants and significant correlation of traffic density with all metals studied (P < 0.05). Lead varied from 1.4 - 3.1 mg/m3 and 1.7 - 2.6 mg/m3, Cadmium varied from 1.7 - 3.15 mg/m3 and 0.011 - 0.1 mg/m3, Iron varied from 3.06 - 3.6 mg/m3 and 0.5 - 2.6 mg/m3, while Arsenic varied from 0.9 - 1.98 mg/m3 and 0.011 - 0.1 mg/m3 along traffic corridors and at control points respectively.

  • An Evaluation of Transport Infrastructure in Lagos State, Nigeria
    Journal of Alternative Perspectives in the Social Sciences (201 3) Volume 5 No 3, 477 -494 _____________________________________________ AN EVALUATION OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE IN LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA Atubi, Augustus .O. (Ph.D) 1 Associate Professor Department of Geography and Regional Planning Delta State University, Abraka E-mail: [email protected] Phone No.: 08037450078 Abstract: The need to sustain the growth and development of human settlement and their economies, among user things, makes it partly imperative for the transport sector to be very responsive to different forces that affect transport planning, operations and management. Among these forces are the ownership and control structure of transport infrastructure and services, level of investment in various transport modes (air, maritime, rail, inland water and road), degree of inter-modal coordination, rate of response to transport technological changes, especially in respect of international transport, extent of obsolescence or modernization of the transport system, ability to adapt to changing transport supply – demand pattern and the state of the economy. Keywords : Infrastructure; evaluation; transport; economy; Lagos; Nigeria 1 Atubi, Augustus .O. holds the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in Geography from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
