One important area of practice is land development where the guidance of regulatory authorities and the compliance of developers together work to shape the built environment. Where this partnership does not exist or is not effective, inappropriate land development practices may result, with the potential to generate environmental degradation, particularly where there is a high intensity of land use. Thus, this paper investigates how the built environment may be impacted by land development and management practices. The issue is examined in the context of Benin City’s BDPA highly populated residential estate where signs of physical environmental degradation are becoming evident. The research approach involves physical inspections and secondary data review. The features of land development practice in the estate are ascertained; evidence gathered on their impact upon the physical environment and responsibility for these deficits established between individual developers and the regulatory authority. The findings reveal that acts of commission and omission at the official and developer levels contribute to physical environmental degradation. Official regulation and enforcement are weak; and awareness of planning regulations low amongst private developers. The outcome has been non-compliant and environmentally-unfriendly development. Again, government, has been negligent by not building sustainable paved roads and drainage channels. The conclusion is that a strong nexus exists between land development practices and physical environmental degradation in the study area. It is recommended that further physical degradation be arrested by rectification of the identified deficiencies and the institution of safeguards.","PeriodicalId":415878,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The country's heavy reliance on agriculture and its vulnerability to climate change make it imperative to understand and enhance women's participation in these areas. Through a systematic review of literature, this research provides insights into the different levels of women's involvement in climate resilience building and sustainable farming practices. Women's contributions include knowledge and skills, natural resource management, community resilience, and education and awareness. However, women face challenges such as limited access to resources, gender-based discrimination, and exclusion from decision-making processes. Women's leadership in sustainable farming practices is crucial for global food security and sustainable development. Gender-inclusive policies and strategies are crucial for building climate resilience, as they acknowledge the unique challenges women face due to existing gender inequalities. Enhancing women's access to financing, training, and agricultural extension services is essential for gender equality and empowering women in the agricultural sector. The findings emphasize the importance of gender perspectives in addressing climate change impacts and highlight the vulnerabilities faced by women in Nigeria. Recommendations for policymakers, organizations, and stakeholders include developing gender-inclusive policies, providing access to financing, strengthening capacity-building initiatives, improving access to agricultural extension services, promoting women's leadership and representation, and fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing. This study highlights the significant role of women in climate resilience building and sustainable farming practices in Nigeria and calls for their enhanced participation and empowerment in these areas.","PeriodicalId":415878,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136352912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The self-purification potential of the stream was determined by evaluating its deoxygenation and reaeration rate coefficients. The methods of study used include dissolved oxygen (DO) measurements, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) tests as well as measurements of hydrological parameters. Deoxygenation rate of 0.20 to 0.42/day were obtained indicating very swift depletion of oxygen in the stream probably as a result of domestic sewage input. The reaeration rate coefficients ranged from 0.01 to 0.84 day and these values suggest deep and slow moving streams. The measured DO values are quite low, indicating high deoxygenation reaction in the stream and minimal dissolved oxygen contribution from other sources such as algal photosynthesis. Spatially, about 66.66% of the stream is dominated by deoxygenation reaction. The chemical oxygen demand ranged from 20 to 40 mg/l. These values are relatively high and show that the process may be partly responsible for the low dissolved oxygen levels in the stream. However, the stream is capable of re-attaining its optimum dissolved oxygen level within a flow time of 0.84 day (20hrs 16minutes) in the rainy season. Thus, a flow time much greater than 0.84 day (20hrs 16minutes) would be required during the dry season. These flow times suggest that the stream has poor self-purification potential.","PeriodicalId":415878,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research sought to determine the run-off and maximum discharge time of concentration (TC) in Uyo Urban to help facilitate adequate and proper flood risk and management plan in the area. The topographic map and 3D surface of the catchment area were generated and the rational method employed to determine the time of concentration of runoff as well as the maximum discharge while Hydrology extension in ArcGIS 10.3 was used to model the river basin from DEM and identify locations. Detailed analysis of 39 years (1977-2015) rainfall data was recorded to determine inter-annual variability, monthly distribution pattern, mean total annual rainfall, mean maximum daily rainfall and standardized anomaly index (SAI). The computed discharge was calculated. The results of the analyses indicate a total discharge of 1573.54m3/s and takes approximately 40 minutes of runoff time evident of prolonged rainstorms in areas like IBB Avenue as opposed to the short-lived rainfalls that causes flash floods in areas like Brook Street. This means that it takes a longer time of about 2 km to travel to the analysed site to cause flood.

The research highlights the significant percentage of Africa's population living in poverty without access to electricity, leading to a cycle of poverty and limited education. By examining relevant literature from various sources, the study aims to deepen our understanding of how renewable energy policies can contribute to poverty reduction and climate change mitigation in Africa. The research emphasizes the untapped potential of renewable energy resources in Africa, including hydropower, geothermal, biomass, solar, and wind, which can significantly increase the region's renewable energy capacity. Renewable energy policies are seen as a powerful tool to alleviate poverty by providing affordable, clean, and reliable energy sources in developing countries. Additionally, these policies play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the transition to sustainable energy systems. Africa faces significant risks from climate change, such as rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events, making the adoption of renewable energy even more important. The study recommends increasing investment in renewable energy infrastructure, developing effective policies, strengthening partnerships, promoting energy efficiency, integrating renewable energy into national development plans, enhancing climate change resilience, and raising awareness among communities.

Groundwater is vulnerable to natural and anthropogenic pollution. In this study, groundwater collected from selected boreholes in Ovom, Yenibebel and Yenaka communities in Attisa Clan within Yenagoa metropolis were assessed for their physicochemical and heavy metals qualities, using standard analytical procedures of the World Health Organisation guidelines. The aim of the study was to determine the suitability of the boreholes water for human consumption with view to protecting public health and wellbeing. The physical parameters measured include; Electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solid (TDS), total suspended solid (TSS) and total hardness (TH). Chemical parameters analysed include; total alkalinity (TA), pH, Dissolved oxygen (DO), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chloride (Cl), Fluoride (F), Nitrate (NO 3 ), Phosphate (PO 4 ), Sulphate (SO 4 ). Heavy metals analysed include; Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg). Iron (Fe), Copper (Cu) Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb). The results of the analysis of the water quality parameters are presented in Table 3.1. The results indicate that the physical parameters measurements were lower than the limits set in the Nigeria standard quality for drinking water (NSDQW) and the world Health Organisation (WHO) standard, in all the sampling points. However HPI evaluation revealed that water samples collected from Ovom and Yenibebel are unsafe for human consumption due to high Cadmium concentration above the recommended level of (0.003mg/l).while the boreholes water from Yenaka are safe for human consumption.
