INVESTIGATING URBAN RENEWAL LITERACY OF ILE-IFE RESIDENTS IN OSUN STATE
Abstract
This study investigated the level of urban renewal literacy among Ile-Ife residents, Osun State. The study adopted a survey research design. The two local government areas (Ife Central Local Government and Ife East Local Government) in Ile-Ife were selected. A purposive sampling technique was used to select Sabo from the Ife Central Local Government and Lagere from the Ife East Local Government in Ile-Ife. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 150 residents (104 female residents and 46 male residents) in Ile-Ife. One instrument: Residents’ Urban Renewal Literacy Test (r=0.76) was used for data collection. Data collected for the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency count, percentage score, and inferential statistics from the t-test. The results revealed that residents had an average urban renewal literacy level. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between male and female residents’ urban renewal literacy levels (t = -.411; df=148; p>0.05). Based on the findings of this study, it was recommended that government and community stakeholders should sensitize people on urban renewal program. Workshops and seminars should be organized for government agencies to educate them on different strategies that will help them perform their duties. The government should involve stakeholders and community residents in its urban renewal plans so that they can comply as expected.
