The Impact Of Road Connectivity On Land Use Development In Calabar Metropolis
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
The study principally focused on assessment of the impact of roads connectivity on land use development in Calabar metropolis. The study adopted the survey research design because it involved the distribution of questionnaires to collect data from the field. Four hundred (400) copies of questionnaires were administered and 350 were retrieved for analysis. Both primary and secondary sources of data were employed during the study. The primary and secondary sources include; questionnaire administration, oral interview, observation, published and unpublished documents. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistic methods. One hypothesis was formulated and tested using multiple linear regression analysis. The result (0.824 at p>0.05) revealed that there was no significant relationship between road connectivity and land use development in Calabar metropolis. This invariably means that other unknown factors must have been responsible.Therefore; the study concluded that Government should embark on rehabilitation and construction of new roads to connect with the existing roads. Also more funds should be allocated to the sub-sector for more road construction and possibly widen all the roads that may need additional capacity to meet future demand. This will strengthen Calabar road connectivity requirements.
