Abstract

Land development in the North Central Nigeria seems to be shifting out of the city centre to the fringes. Areas at the fringes that were once described as quiet and serene environment now seem to be characterized by noise, traffic congestion, informal economic activities and proliferation of incompatible developments.

Literature has shown that city planners do not take cognizance of the factors responsible for these developments. The aim of the study was to determine the factors influencing land use dynamics and the extent to which these factors differ at the fringes of three cities in North Central Nigeria.

To achieve this aim the following objectives were formulated to: (i) examine the rate and variation of land use change at the fringes of the study area (1974-2011), (ii) identify and group the factors influencing land use dynamics in the fringes of the area under study.

Determine whether there are variations in factors that influence land use dynamics at the fringes of the three cities under study, (iv) ascertain peoples’ perception of the factors of land use dynamics at the fringes of urban area under study and (v) explore the implications of the current pattern of land use dynamics for planning.

Three hypotheses were postulated while primary and secondary data sources were employed in the study. The cities of Minna, Lokoja and Kaduna were selected from the North Central part of Nigeria. Systematicsampling technique was used to administer questionnaire on households in twelve neighborhoods of the three cities.

Introduction

Cities are expanding in size and in relative importance in many parts of the world due to rapid increase in population. The rapid rate of urban expansion across the world in the past few decades presents increasing challenges to urban planning and management.

The United Nations in 2009, estimates that between 2007 and 2025 the annual urban population increase in developing nations is expected to be over 53million (or 2.27 percent) compared to 3 million (or 0.49 percent) in developed nations.

Predictions further show that many new megacities of over 10 million persons will emerge during the next few decades particularly in the developing nations. This rate of urbanization increase is however, not without its problems (UNHabitat, 2009).

One of the major issues of concern is the abrupt changes in land use at the fringe area of cities, often without recourse to existing statutes, policies and standards, in most cases leading to slum development.

Responding to the environmental and socio-economic challenges of this trend in urban growth, the United Nations,2009 World Bank,2011.
