dc.description.abstractThis study examined The Impacts of Land Degradation on Peri-Urban Interface of Eleyele, Adetokun, Alafara and Ologuneru Areas in Ibadan, Nigeria. It assessed the relationships between land degradation and impacts on the socio-economic activities and the livelihoods of the people living in the peri-urban interface. A cross sectional exploratory research design was adopted and mixed method analysis employed for data collection. The fieldwork of this study help to understand the current state of land degradation in the peri-urban interface in Ibadan and associated impacts on the environment, households, and other stakeholders. With a combination of semi-structured interviews, review of local news sources, and a synthesis of existing research, this study assessed the problem of land degradation in the peri-urban interface in Ibadan. The interviews revealed that land degradation was caused by a variety of factors including sand lifting, overgrazing, unplanned developments, deforestation, and construction activities. Through satellite imagery and remote sensing capturing of the study area, the growth trend, land use classification and land degradation spots in retrospect for 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020 were mapped out. Developed and undeveloped areas stands at 71% and 21% of the total landmass respectively. Finding on socio-economic characteristics in the study area shows a well mix and less ethnic segregation with high socio-cultural activities. It suggest that the study area is socially prone to land degradation. Households living in the peri-urban interface were most affected by land degradation as their livelihoods and health were put at risk. Local government and other stakeholders also felt the impacts of land degradation in terms of reduced incomes, environmental damage, and health issues. This study highlights the severity of land degradation, respondents’ perception on flooding/erosion, soil/sand lifting, reduction in strength of rivers as these impacted on their health and means of livelihood.
