Data for the study were gathered by using questionnaires and schedule interview. Primary and secondary data were used. A total of 200 plot occupants were identified from across three commercial layouts, and sample sizes of 47, 43 and 42 were proportionately allocated for each layout, which gives a total of 132 respondents. Data collected covers the processes involved in commercial land delivery, attributes of the layouts, demographic characteristics of the respondents and sizes of occupied plots. Descriptive statistics (Frequency and Percentage), Content Analysis and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used for the data analysis. The results showed that though the commercial atmosphere is dominated by male younger adults who were mostly educated and participated in different types of businesses across the three layouts over different periods of time. It also became apparent from the study that the first layout created is bigger than the second, which is bigger than the third, indicating a trend of decreasing size. The study recommended that commercial plots should be allocated based on need, as a lot of big plots are underutilized. Members of market associations should be sensitized on the importance and procedure of owning and applying for land. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Urban and Regional Planning project topics and materials you might be interested in»The impact of small-scale industries in rural areas (a case study of Umunwarahu village in Obodoukwu, Ideato north Local Government Area of Imo state»Residents perception on housing quality (a case study of Imo housing estate, Umuguma)»A dissertation proposal on impact of citizen participation in community development (a case study of Ibeku in Aboh Mbaise L.G.A Imo state)»Public perception of solid waste management in Trans-Amadi industrial area of Port-Harcourt»A study on the impact of soil erosion and control strategies - a case study of Idah town in Idah local government area, Kogi state»To assess the performance of Sagbama local government council in the development of Sagbama communities»Analysis of urban sprawl in Gwale LGA, Kano state»A history of industrialization in Kano state between 1967 - 2007»Impact of urban expansion on infrastructure - a case study of Etiosa local government area, Lagos state, Nigeria»Impact of urban expansion of Owerri on the surrounding hinterlands (a case study of Amakohia)»The effects of industrial solid waste disposal on the environment in Trans-amadi industrial area of Portharcourt»Intercity transportation (a case study of Transport Corpration of Anambra State (TRACAS) Awka»The effects of overcrowding on housing quality (a case study of Akwakuma Owerri north, Imo state»Assessment of encroachment on floodplain along river Kubanni Zaria, Kaduna state»Effect of educational institution on residential property rental value in Biu town (case study of Nigerian Army University)
