| Abstract: | The study assessed the level of urban deprivation in selected local government areas in Lagos state and Osun state. It examined the nature and level of urban deprivation in the selected Local government area; residents’ response to urban deprivation; and what is obtainable within the selected local government area to manage multiple deprivation and alleviate poverty. This was with a view to providing information that could enhance living condition in the study area Data were collected in six selected Local Government Areas. These were three LGAs from Lagos state and three LGAs from Osun state. Random sampling was used to select residents to be sampled. Questionnaires was administered randomly to 20 households in each area. The number of respondents from each state are 58 and 54 from Lagos and Osun states respectively. Thus, a total of 112 buildings were sampled. The study revealed Urban deprivation in the study area is manifested through unequal provision of physical and social infrastructure within the various selected LGAs. In Lagos state, majority of the respondents were deprived of constructed bus stops (79.3%), approved motor parks (79.3%), post office (70.7%), public library (87.9%), dispensary (69.0%) and General Hospital (62.1%). In Osun state, majority of the respondents were deprived constructed bus stops (90.7%), approved motor parks (79.6%), post office (74.1%), public library (79.6%), health facilities (61.1%) and modern market (79.6%). Thus, the study has shown that urban deprivation exists in each of the states. It was also revealed that in response to the level of deprivation experienced and poor urban governance, the maintenance of the infrastructure is shared between the government, community associations and individuals. However, urban deprivation still persists. In addition to this, environmental problems such as loss of aesthetic and air pollution were experienced across the selected LGAs. This study therefore concludes that in order to ensure that the environment is liveable, it is important that the quality is improved. This involves the introduction of community empowerment programs and improved level of urban governance. |
