The study used secondary climatic data from IQ Air Earth (https://www.iqair.com/earth?nav) used for air quality monitoring and compared them with multiple sources such as real-time data from governments. The findings indicated that dry season had maximum of 137 AQI value and minimum of 64 AQI. Dry season had maximum Particulate Matter [PM2.5] value of 20.1µg/m3 and minimum value of 7.1µg/m3 with a range value of 13µg/m3 and the wet season had maximum Particulate Matter [PM 2.5 ] value of 19.1 µg/m 3 and minimum of 10.1µg/m 3 with a range of 9µg/m 3 . Temperature had maximum value of 29 0 C and minimum value of 23 0 C with a range of 6 0 C during the dry season and wet season temperature had maximum value of 28 0 C and minimum value of 21 0 C with a range of 7 0 C. During the wet season, humidity had maximum value of 97% and minimum value of 72% with a range of 25% and in the dry season, humidity had maximum value of 89% and minimum value of 67% with a range of 22%. Thus, during the dry season, wind speed had maximum value of 11.2Km/h and minimum value of 5.7Km/h with a range of 5.5Km/h and in the wet season, wind speed had maximum value of 8.1Km/h and minimum value of 2.6Km/h with a range of 5.5Km/h. During the wet season air pressure had maximum value of 1015mb and minimum value of 1009mb with a range of 6mb. While during the dry season, air pressure had maximum value of 1014mb and minimum value of 1011mb with a range of 3mb. It is recommended that government and private partners should set-up functional weather stations and individuals should limit outdoor activities during harsh weather periods.","PeriodicalId":415878,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128030538","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}

With the quest of Oyo state government for alternative sources of revenue generation, there is the need for inventory of tourism resources in the state. This paper therefore provides scenic view of geographical patterns of tourism resources in Iseyin Local Government Area, Oyo state, Nigeria. The paper mainly depended on the review of literature on tourism development and policy. The analysis showed that tourism attractions/sites are spatially distributed in the local government area with Iseyin and Ado-Awaye axis more endowed than other parts of the local government area. Most of the tourism resources are naturally made like the Suspended Lake, Ishage Rock, Agbomofunyake Depression, Iya-Alaro Lake, Elephant Tree, the Elders’ Foot Prints, Ikere Gorge Dam among others. Others such as Aso-Oke Festival and Maje Kankan Shrine are man-made (socio-cultural heritage) phenomena. Despite these huge tourism resources, defective tourism development policy reflecting in inadequate funding, dearth of infrastructural facilities especially poor road network to the sites and inadequate information about the tourism sites hinder the government revenue drive accruable from tourism development. There is no doubt that with effective policy, adequate funding, infrastructural facilities and effective marketing strategy, the tourism facilities in the area can improve the socio-economic development of the people in the area and improve the revenue drive of the government","PeriodicalId":415878,"journal":{"name":"IIARD INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF GEOGRAPHY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121568587","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}
