Abstract:

This study examined the developers’ sources of awareness and indication of compliance with physical planning regulations in Southwestern Nigeria. Two types of data were obtained for the study. These are primary and secondary data. The primary data used for the study were generated from field survey through quantitative and qualitative techniques. Lagos and Osun States will be randomly selected from the two planning administration systems in South Western States. This research work therefore utilized 0.5% of the household size in the selected local governments which translates to a sample size of 2,682 persons. Both descriptive statistics and inferential tools were utilised for the study. The findings revealed that 64.3% were aware when seeking building approval while 35.7% stated otherwise; 32.3% were aware through contravention and stop work notices while 67.7% stated otherwise; 41.7% were aware through mass media while 58.3% stated otherwise; 23.8% were aware through building collapse while 76.2% stated otherwise; 47.5% were through outdoor billboard while 52.5% stated otherwise; 41.4% were aware through enlightenment campaign while 58.6% stated otherwise; 40.7% were aware through friends and neigbour while 59.3% stated otherwise; 37.6% were aware through demolition notices while 62.4% stated otherwise; 26.5% were aware through demolition exercise while 73.5% stated otherwise; and 23.2% were aware through conflict resolution while 76.2% stated otherwise.
