Land Use Classification and Informal Sector Question in Ogbomoso, Nigeria

Abstract

Against the background of uncontrolled infiltration of informal sector activities in virtually every segment of urban space, especially along major roads of cities, this paper examines the pattern along two federal roads in Ogbomoso, Nigeria. The study which employs Descriptive and Correlation Analyses observed that while certain land use types are more generators of informal sector enterprises than others, there is a significant positive relationship between land use intensity and incidence of informal sector enterprises. With distance between one electric pole and the third one as measurement unit data was obtained about land use and incidence of informal sector enterprises by direct observation and recording by trained research assistants. A regression modeling is therefore recommended for further studies to establish a system of incorporating informal sector activities into land use allocation process.
