Effect Of Setback Distance on Low Impact Development Strategy Utilization Within Residential Plots, Oriade, Lagos, Nigeria
Abstract
The essence of setbacks cannot be overlooked when considering functionality within residential plots. Most importantly, the area of natural cover within setbacks and level of setback compliance are factors that can influence residential plot sustenance. This study assesses the influence of setback distance on the level of low impact development strategy, generally occurring as unpaved areas within open spaces in setbacks of residential plots in Satellite town,,Amuwo-Odofin, Lagos, Nigeria. Questionnaires were distributed strategically to elicit information on resident’s social status, residential site setback status and low impact development status. Analysis at two levels, which involved descriptive statistics and chi squared test, using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) Version 21 was carried out. The study reveals that all the chi square values arrived at are lower than the accepted 0.05 significant level which indicates that there is significant relationship between the distance left as setback space around a residential building and the level of low impact development strategy employed around the residential building. The study concluded that setback compliance and monitoring are major issues affecting implementation, proposing a minimum percentage for natural area for low impact development strategies during residential site approval and development process.
