ABSTRACT
Land use
activities in Uyo metropolis have been observed to have effects on the
environment in which we live and carry out our business. The aim of the study
is to enumerate the physical problems arising from the land use pattern in the
study area, to find out the effect of dumpsite on the occupant residential
properties, to investigate the effect of petroleum filling station on the
residential property value and to verify the effect of traffic congestion on
the infrastructure services. The research designs were survey method and
questionnaires which were distributed. The population of the study is 350.
Business owners: 150, Resident: 200. Sample drawn from the project is the
simple techniques and systematic random techniques where vehicle loading point,
filling station, dump site are counted after every 500m. The status head analysis
adopted is percentages, regression analysis. The finding of the study shows
there are different environmental hazard in Uyo metropolis. The conclusion
shows that the commercial land use possess more environmental problems than any
other land use. Dump site affect resident, filling station affects commercial
land use, vehicle loading point affect traffic; Recommendation for this project
is policies need to be made with strict rules to reduce the problem in the
environment.

Land Use Types and Environmental

Land
use is the use of land for a single or multiple purpose aimed at achieving a
desired result. Land is the center of all activities on earth. The post and
primary thing people ever used to meet their need was solely on land (Mbadiwe
2004). That is why we build on land, farm on it, feed and also move on land.
An urban area implies an area with diverse
and spatially dispersed land uses. These land uses attracts and generate
movements to and away from them. Consequently, the more land uses and urban
area has, the more diversified or greater the socio-economic activities,
mobility conflicts and vis-à-vis congestion. These movements will be constrained
if the location of the land uses is not planned. Urban area requires adequate
planning and control in order to ensure harmonious development and functional
efficacy of uses.
To ensure adequate planning and orderly
development of urban facilities and services there must be development control
mechanism. As population in the urban areas increases, urban planning become
more critical and the pressure and the pressure on the facilities is high.
According to Oyesiku (1997) the forms and patterns of distribution of structure
in general to promote the good health, accessibility, convenience and harmonious
land use in environment area functions of a considerable extent of the right
and methods of dealing with land. Due to rapid urban growth and mixed land uses
in Uyo urban, there is an increase in land use problems such as blighted
structures, rising from the costs of land, flooding, overcrowding and
congestion, etc.
Urban land use structures account
for land use changes and the activities are more frequently analyzed to
include, residential, commercial, industrial, transportation and to a lesser
extent public and other services. Within the broader realm of oriented studies
of land use, two particular approaches have been developed. They are the behavioral
and the institutional. The behavioral attempted to describe and explain land
use pattern as a function of factors, influencing human behavior and decision
making to causing on human activity system (Chaplin and Kaiser 1990).
In
Uyo urban, there seems to be agglomeration of most of the land uses such that
there is a clustering of space. Similarly, the allocation of space to most of
the land uses types usually does not take into consideration the effect cause
on the other land uses. These effect are overcrowding, traffic congestion,
flooding, pollution etc.
Another urban land use problems in Uyo is the uncoordinated locations of
functionally related land uses, examples are the location of filling stations
near commercial and residential buildings such as Total, Mobil, Keybros filling
station along Ikot ekpene road, Winmos, Nossien, NNPC filling stations along
Oron road etc. The low level of awareness an enlightenment on the provision of
Uyo Mater Plan (1988) for Uyo capital led to the development of urban land uses
contrary to the set goals. Property developers see the existing Uyo master plan
and its provisions as a restrictive imposition on the development drive of the
people.
The
research work is aimed at examining the land use in Uyo metropolis in order to
pin-point the problems inherent in the area that are associated with urban land
use control and to determine whether there is any significant relationship to
the people perception of planning and attitude towards land use control with
the specific objectives as;
i.
To enumerate the physical
problems/conflict arising from land use pattern in the study area.
