 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Development is any change in land uses, and any change in the use

of building, on the surface under and above the land.

Hence, Development can be define as the carrying out of building, re-

building, mining or other operation on or under land surface or the making of

any essential change with the existing use of any land or building. (Obateru

O.I, 1978)

Accordingto the Urban and regional Planning decree 88 of 1992 section 71

define development as carrying out of building, Engineering, Mining or other

operations in on over or under any land or the making of any environmental

significant change in the use of land or demolition of building, felling of trees,

erection of electric pole and erection use for the display of advertisement on the

land.

The town and country planning law, western region of Nigeria 1968

defines development as any building or re – building operations and any use

of the land or any building thereon for a purpose which is different from the

purpose for which the land or building were being used.

Planning in a general sense, means the advance preparations or

management of things to be done in the future. It is an activity concerned

4
with making choices about future options, taking account of probabilities and

value of what may be achieved and then securing the implementation of the

chosen options, it is a continuous process of rational decisions.

Development planning is a process of development, which involves

comprehensive predetermine of a nation’s vision, mission, policies, and

programmes.

Development planning typically follows a set of distinct phase, situation

both internal to the area, and the force which are shaping the area. It also

happens in cities and communities

Basically, development planning refers to the strategic measurable

goals that an individual, organization or community plan to meet within a

certain period of time. Usually the development plans includes time – based

benchmarks. It also includes the certain things that will be used to evaluate

whether or not the goals were actually met.

Base map are standard, geographic maps which entails physical

features as street grids, location of river, rail road, reservoir, and other easily

identifiable features of the landscape.

AIM

The aim of this study is to provide a sustainable development plan which will

benefit the present generation and won’t compromise the future generations.

5
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the development planning are:-
1. To provide the existing base map of the town (ilahun ijesa).

2. To provide the existing road network and propose another road

network map

3. To provide the existing and propose another infrastructural facilities

4. To identify the series of facilities present in ilahunIjesha.

5. To prepare alternative base maps to cater for the lapses indentified

from the existing base map.

6. To recommend a lasting solution identified in the study area

(ilahunIjesha)

7. To plan for the undeveloped area for future use.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

There were various problems limiting the total achievement of goal

and objectives of this research work. The problems encountered was public

participation, some people feel reluctant in giving relevant and correct

information, some thought it was on political basis in which they gave wrong

information, it was realized in spite of the level of civilization, and most

community dwellers are still ignorant of the need for relevant data for

academic purpose.

6
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM IN THE STUDY AREA (ERE IJESA)

The study area encountered some problems in their environment which

includes:-

1. Accessibility Problem:Which means some of the roads in the study

area (ilahun-Ijesa) lack maintenance which cause damages to the

roads. So also in time of harmattan, it causes much dust in the

environment.

2. Environmental Problem: The study area has inadequate facilities

such as hospital, pipe born water and housing conditions.

3. Industrial Problem: The study area lack agro based industry for the

production of goods and services from raw material to finished

produce. In the study area there are agricultural plantation like

timbers, cocoa plantation and cassava plantation among others but are

not utilizes due to lack of processing industries.

SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

1. Government should re-plan the accessibility of the area in order to avoid

close junction, cross junction and Y-junction to reduce accident.

2. Government should provide adequate infrastructure facilities and

amenities in order to contribute to the development of the study area like

stable police post, hospitals, schools, pipe-borne water, post-office and

housing estate.

7
3. Government should provide adequate agro-extension system for the

production of industrial agricultural product such as food crop and cash

crop as well as the provision of adequate processing machine for finished

product.

 CHAPTER TWO

1.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF ILAHUNIJESA

The name of the settlement is ilahun-Ijesa, located in obokun local

government of Osun State, Nigeria with coordinates of 7o38’53’’N 4o49’1’’E.

ILAHUN-Ijesa has seen the significant economic and physical development

driven by its traditional ruler, HRM. DR Ajayi Lawrence olamiju (the

lofingbure of Ilahun ijesa)

The town was migrated from ILE-IFE,They pass through ilesa in

1882,they vist OWA OBOKUN UYI. They were from ilare in ILE-IFE owa uyi

areere and ilahun were good friend and families that joined the founders in

later years are: odeniran family, Lofinbure family, owoeye family, longe

family and others.

In the 18th century, ilahun Ijesa rejected the role of people from

outside and requested the Owa (the most superior king in Ijesa land) to give

them somebody to rule over the community.

There fathers land is in number 120, They are tribes of EKI. It is

because of expansion they move out and some of them settle in ILE ONIGBI

in Ekiti state.when they depart in ILE ONIGBI, because of expansion.They

are six ogboni in ilesa ogboni ijebu jesa, owa is the paramount ruler in ilesa

land. Every obokun has their independent in term of Administrative

function,they are no longer with owa obokun in ilesa.

9
 When the people get to ilahun it was a vigin land,and it was a tick

forest full of tortoise ,the place is occupy with tortoise, that is how we come

acrossthe name of the town called ILAHUN JESA..

During the inter tribal wars, the land in all this areas were full of

tortoise, when they saw it, they called it “hun” (Ilahun) land of tortoise.

IlahunIjesa shares common boundaries with Ere ijesha, imesi ile, and Ilare

community.

The co-operation received from the neighbouring communities

constituted Ilahun Ijesa to where it is today.it was the cooperation that led

to the following:

1. Having a primary school (Apostolic Primary school) in the year

1955.

2. Ilahun Ijesa high School Established in 1981 which were granted

by the administration of Chief Bisi Akande in the Osun state.

3. The community market named Ifesowapo Market established

long ago but presently, there is a new site on the way to

grammar school.

(source: field survey: face-to-face interview).

PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

This section deals with the site of the study and its physical

characteristics. Issues covered under physical characteristics include climate,

humidity, rainfall, geology, and soil. Others are vegetation, forest resource as

well as relief/topography and drainage.

CLIMATE, HUMIDITY AND RAINFALL

The study area is located in sub-equatorial climate and possesses the

main characteristics of high temperature and heavy rainfall. Rainfall through

the year is an annual total of over 1.500mm.

There are two peak periods of particular heavy rain, one in July and

the other September, in-between the period is relatively low rainfall called

“August Break”. The rainfall is therefore said to be double maxima in

character. The temperature is uniformly high throughout the year at about

23degreeand the annual range is 4 degree; a very low rainfall of only

10millimeters per month in December and January.

Actually, the region can be said to have four seasons like most part of

southern Nigeria which have long wet season, beginning from March to July.

The short dry season of August break, the short wet season of September to

October, and the long dry season or Harmattan season which last from

November to March in the study area (ILAHUN-IJESA).

11
HUMIDITY

Humidity is high; the relative humidity is on average of about 70%. It

is usually high in the morning throughout the year with a marked decrease in

the afternoon, the highest relative humidity occurs from July through

September to October and the lowest humidity is from December to

February. Also cloud cover of the region is usually extensive as a result of the

high relative humidity.

VEGETATION AND FOREST RESOURCE

The vegetation of the study area falls within the tropical rain forest or

equatorial forest belt. Here, climatic conditions are almost ideal for plant

growth as a result of this, the plants grow very big; some trees are quite

robust and attain a height of about 60 meters. The forest as a whole remains

evergreen and luxuriant almost throughout the year even though a few of

the tree might be declivous. Ilahun Ijesa is characterized by a wide range of

tree species, typical among which are palm trees, Mahogany, Ebony, Iroko,

Walnut and Sapele wood. It is also good for the cultivation of grains such as

maize, banana and plantain, root crops such as yam, cassava among others.

RELIEF / TOPOGRAPHY AND DRAINAGE

The area forms a part of the Yoruba land also known as the western

uplands of Nigeria. It has an elevation of about 500 meters above sea level.

12
The relief of the area is moderate with low forested hills, but occasionally,

very steep sided ridges use abruptly forms the surrounding region.

TEMPERATURE

The main annual temperature of the study area is about 25.20 degree

Celsius. The area has an average monthly mean temperature departures

ranging between 1.0 degree Celsius – 1.6 degree Celsius and the first half of

the year was found to be generally warm. The temperature is uniformly high

throughout the year at about 25 degree Celsius and the mean annual

temperature range is about 4 degree Celsius and 5 degree Celsius.

The lowest temperature is however experienced in August with a mean

of temperature of 24.3 degree while the month of March experiences the

highest temperature with mean temperature of 28.3 degree Celsius.

GEOLOGY

This refers to the rock formation which exists in Ilahun Ijesa. Stream is

present in ILAHUN-IJESHA (The river present in Ilahun aeoo Osun stream

along Esa Odo, Stream along Ere Jesa Stream)which tend to promote the

economy activities of the settlement by creating employment through the

practice of agriculture activities for producing the food crops and cash crops

for the people living in that settlement and its environment. (source: field

survey: 2018)

13
SOIL

The soil is the uppermost layer of the earth crust. The soil type in

Ilahun Ijesa is loamy, clay soil (reddish brown); this is present on the access

road within the built-up area of the community. The area with vegetation has

rich humus soil (sandy humus) this enhance the practice of agriculture while

loamy soil is found around the river bank, this support agriculture production.

ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS

The 70% of the Ilahun-jesha engaged in mechanize and subsistence

farming local economy sector such as weaving, petty trading activities.

Ilahun-ijesha Belong to a rural community, they are predominantly agrarians,

so also they engaged in some commercial activities such as petty trading.

EDUCATION LEVEL

Education refers to as primary, secondary and tertiary institution

where people acquire knowledge. Educational land-use comprises of lands

for both private and public educational institution found within the study

area. The primary and secondary institutions located at Ilahun-Ijesa are:

Apostolic Primary School was establish in 1955, Akindele nursery and primary

school, kunle children nursery/primary school, Ilahun high school establish in

1981. (source: Field Survey: 2018)

14
RECREATION ACTIVITES

They comprises all identified recreational areas such as hotels, viewing

centre, open space, playground etc.

INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES

Infrastructure facilities are the basic facilities and installations that help

a government or community area. These includes; roads, schools, phone

lines, sewage treatment plants and power generation, health centre, refuse

dumps, religious, transportation, communications etc. infrastructure facilities

are used to promote sustainable development of human settlement.

HEALTH FACILITIES

Health facilities centre refers to as a place where treatment is given

both to the children and the adult. There are.

RELIGIOUS FACILITIES

Religious centre encompasses all places of worship which were

conceived in Ilahun-Ijesa such as churches, mosque and shrine.This is the

place where people worship and serve their God or gods.

CHURCH

This is a place where the Christian gathered to worship. The churches

located at Ilahun-Jesa areabout 17 namely; St. Stephen Anglican Church,

15
African Church, Methodist church, Celestial Church of Christ, Cherubim and

Seraphim etc

MOSQUE

This is a place where the Muslims gathered to worship Allah (S.W.T). Their is

only one mosque in Ilahun-Ijesa.

WATER

This major sources of water supply identified in the study area are:- wells,

boreholes and streams.

ELECTRICITY

Ilahun-ijesha is directly linked to the grid through 33kv transmission

line from Ibokun road.

TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES

Transportation is the movement of peoples, goods or services, ideas,

information from the point of departure to the points of destination.

Road network plays a major role in the growth and development of an

area where adequate consideration must be given strictly; where such is

lacking, development in such rural/urban is relegated to primitive. Two (2)

major classes of roads are identified within the study area; distributor and

access road. Distributor roads are spinner areas that collect and disperse

traffic into and outside a settlement.

16
 Road networks of ILAHUNIJESA are strongly determined by the

settlement pattern, which is linear form. The distributor roads are roads

which are constructed by the Federal government. Access roads are local

which link or connect all the settlers to their building.

Footpaths are road which are formed by the people through the constant

trecking along a particular line or road and usually common where the

circulation is poor and common in rural areas.

EXISTING LAND USE ANALYSIS OF ILAHUN– JESA

Land uses are the various utilizations which lands are being put into.

Adequate study of existing land use analysis enhances understanding of the

cause of disorderliness within the study area and serves as base line data for

the re-planning of the conflicting land uses. Land can be used for various

purposes such as residential, commercial, public & semi-public, educational,

recreational and agricultural land use.

RESIDENTIAL LAND USE

The residential building in Ilahun – Ijesa has the longest proportion of land

use among other due to the nature of the town.

COMMERCIAL LAND USE

This refers to the spatial coverage of building where selling of goods and

services activities such as market stalls, corner shops etc to generate their

income.
17
INDUSTRIAL LAND USE

ILAHUN-IJESA has a spatial coverage of industrial land use for both light

industries. ILAHUN JESA has the following industry such as block industry

and garri industry.

RECREATIONAL LAND USE

Recreation refers to the land use which is used for relaxation and

entertainment during leisure time e.g. viewing centre, open space etc, are

the available recreational centres in the study area.

CIRCULATION LAND USE

Circulation can be refers to as the medium which aid the movement of

people, good and services from the point of origin to the point of destination

through the use of cars, lorries, motorcycles among others etc. it has a

spatial coverage of distributors road, collector road, access road, which

linked the occupant to their resident and their place of work for their daily

activities.

AGRICULTURAL LAND USE

Agricultural land use refers to the spatial coverage where production of food

crop and cash crop are produced and rearing of animals. E.g. Fish pond,

poultry, plantation farm and swampy area in the existing base map of the

study are used for vegetable plantation, okro, rice, banana, palm trees etc.

18
PUBLIC / SEMI PUBLIC LAND USE

Public land use refers to the communal facilities that are freely available to

the community people for use while semi-public facilities are those

infrastructures that offer various services for the use of the people of Ilahun-

Jesa which include; schools, churches, mosques, electric pole, palace,

transformer.

They are provided for the settlers in the study area, either by the

government, individual or corporate bodies etc. to enhance a more quality of

life for the dwellers.

 CHAPTER THREE

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a great importance for the researcher to ensure

that the research is done constantly and accordingly. This is usually achieved

through a well define research guide that gives the detailed information on

the population under study. Identifies the sample size within the sample

frame and collects data with appropriate data collection techniques.

So in order to achieve the aim, the primary and secondary sources of data

are to be used to gathered information from the respondents.

SOURCE OF DATA

Primary Data

Primary data are data collected by self on the field through reconnaissance

survey. Data will be collected directly from the respondents in order to

determine the following:-

 To know the socio-economic characteristics of ILAHUN -IJESA.

 To know the house ownership

 To know the housing condition of the town.

 To know the facilities and utilities that is present Ilahun ijesa

 To know the amenities and facilities available in the study area.

20
Secondary Data

This involves collection of information through journals, library books,

internet information etc. This is aimed to know the history and to gather

some information about Ere Ijesa

Secondary Techniques

Since the total population in the study area is estimated to be 7500 as at

2006 population census, we selected few respondents out of the study area

and use random selection in knowing the number of people from which the

data was collected.

RANDOM SAMPLING

The sampling techniques for the study goes thus, since the total number of

streets in the study area is five (5); so we selected the major street out of

the 5 streets from which the data was collected.

SAMPLE SIZE

In carrying out this research work, 5 streets were administered with the use

of 50 questionnaires was done on a random sampling method. 10

questionnaires were done in each of the 5 streets that were selected and in

doing this 3 males and 7 females were administered through stratified

random sampling techniques.

21
Stratified random sampling techniques was employed because it eliminates

all the bias in the choice of respondents and it provides the simplicity of

simple random sampling.

In many cases, there are gains in reliability over that of a simple

random sampling finally it provides a method to ensure that the sample is

representative of the population which was able to gather up relearns

information from each respondent.

 CHAPTER FOUR

DATA ANALYSIS AND DATA PRESENTATION

POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY AREA

BASE POPULATION OF THE STUDY AREA (ILOKO IJESA)

The base population has to do with the total number of people living in

the settlement.

Demography is the study of human; it is focused on statistical analysis

of birth, death and migration processes and their effect on population

structure, composition and distribution in a given area.

The base population of IlahunIjesa was gathered from the survey

carried out with the use of questionnaire and the total population is 3000.

PROPOSED LAND USE ANALYSIS

The proposals of Ilahun ijesa have intended facilities and amenities

that will be provided to enhance growth and development of rural settlement

and also improve the standard of living of people considering all relevant

factors in designing a village. It is also an idea to apply a design concept that

would be realistic enough to meet their needs and demand of its uses.

Similarly, development planning and full information is necessary concerning

physical, economically and social factors.

The proposed land use of Ilahun ijesa is classified into seven

consideration which include residential land use, commercial, public use,

circulation, agricultural land use, industrial and open space.

RESIDENTIAL CONSIDERATION

This comprises buildings where there is presence of human living in

them. Also included are uncompleted (abandoned) buildings or building

24
under construction. Ilahun ijesa had about 10,000 residential land use in the

area and it can be classified as old and new residential area.

The old residential area comprises of the traditional quarters in the inner part

of the town and most of the building in this areas are built in local materials

such as mud and mud blocks which are sometimes plastered with cement

and roofed with corrugated iron sheets. In additions the buildings are made

up of traditional compound house in which each compound is connected to

the next building by narrow footpaths. The new residential area covers a

small area in the outer part of the town.

COMMERCIAL LAND USE

These are areas where buying and selling or transfer transaction of

goods and services are taken place. The proposed land use for commercial

covers markets, corner shops etc.

Commercial land use accounted for 6.8 hectares of land and 7.7% of

the total land.

PUBLIC LAND USE

Public uses and semi-public facilities that are freely available to the

community people for use while semi-public facilities are those

infrastructures that after various services for the use of the people. The

proposed public and semi-public facilities include post office, police post,

court, school are set up to increase the existing facilities in the study area,
25
public and semi-public land use is accounted for 36.9 hectares of land 41.8%

of the total land.

CIRCULATION LAND USE

Circulation can be refers to as the process of channeling and

conveying goods and services, ideas, information, convey people from the

Points of origin to their final destinations. The modes use in channeling and

conveying peoples, ideas, information, goods and services include road and

rail transport. The road transport are transport used in moving people, ideas,

information from one place to another through the use of vehicle, bicycle,

cars, lorries etc. Rail transport is another mode of transport use in conveying

passenger through the use of trains, etc. The two major classes of roads are

identified within the study area, primary distributors and access road.

Primary distribution roads are the spine access that collect and disperse

traffic into and outside a particular settlement. Access roads are roads that

connect and individual or occupant to their different residential.

The roads are identified within the 1m radius cover 0.6 hectares and

0.7% of the total land area, the proposed circulation of the study area has

6445 meters of area covered, with its distributor road to be 12m and the

access road to be 9m.

26
AGRICULTURAL LAND USE

Agriculture can be refers to as cultivation of crops, and rearing of

animals. The spatial proposed coverage of the agricultural activities such as

the cultivation of both food and cash crops. The agricultural land use pattern

is used for farming, lumbering, fishing among others. Agriculture Land use of

Ilahun -Ijesha is used to enhance the growth, development of food

production and agro-industry based system.

The proposed book processing industry, proposed flour mill industry,

proposed school, proposed filling station, proposed recreational centre,

proposed motel, proposed cold room, proposed court(customary),proposed

garri processing industry, proposed starch industry, are to make a better

living for the inhabitant and serves as infrastructural development for the

study area(Ilahun-Ijesha).

The proposed cassava plantation was established to enhance the

growth and development of producing food crops like garri, flour etc. The

proposed agricultural land use pattern use about 256820 meters and

233755M hectares of land at 34.745% and 31.90%of the total land area.

INDUSTRIAL LAND USE

Industries can be refer to places where goods (raw materials) and

services are manufactured and extracted from semi-finished goods to

finished goods for the consumption of an inhabitant in a particular

27
settlement. Industries deals with the spatial coverage of industrial land use

for light industries in the study area, this land use covers about 0.1% of the

total land area in the study area to increase the production of goods and

services produced in other to satisfy human want. The proposed processing

industries, includes,

Cassava flour processing industries, industry, cocoa processing industries

were established to produced goods and services from raw materials to semi

finished and finished goods through the use of machine adequate equipment

in order to enhance the development of the study area.
