Land use succession (LUS) plays a very important role to supplement the ability of cities to accommodate with development. Nevertheless, the impacts of LUS are significant, which give rise to grave concerns at all spatial levels. If not properly managed could lead to cities inefficiencies and properties rigidities that could hasten diminishing returns and cause broken down capacities. This study therefore, identified and assessed the types and characteristics of LUS in Ile-Ife, examined factors influencing LUS in the study area with a view to formulating policy on LUS in Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. Primary data on LUS types and characteristics and factors influencing LUS were obtained through the use of a questionnaire. The questionnaires were administered to landlords or tenants, Estate Surveyors and Valuers and official of Ife Central Town Planning and Land Services Department. Data were collected from the respondents on the three major roads where LUS was prevalent. Four hundred and fifty buildings were identified out of which 50% were selected for the sample. Seven Estate Surveyors and Valuers were identified in Ile-Ife and total enumeration was carried out. In addition, questionnaire was administered to the Head of Town Planning and Land Services Department. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive analysis frequency table, charts and percentages. The results showed that 79.4% of the LUS types were from the residential-commercial type, 2.9% were residential-recreational, and 9.8% were residential cum commercial and others (3.9%). The characteristics of LUS comprise: change in physical characteristics, change in building design, environmental characteristics and change in percentage of property occupier. The result also showed the main factors influencing LUS include: need to upgrade the property, need to meet up with the current trend, optimizing investment return and pressure from economic activities in the neighbourhood with corresponding positive mean deviation of +0.52, 0.42 0.38 and 0.12 respectively. In conclusion, the study calls for review of policies of Town Planning Authority and Land Services Department procedures on LUS and the need for strict compliance with Town Planning Laws and Building Codes. Also, there is need to establish a monitoring units for controlling the activities of the properties owners, landlords and tenants. |
