 THE EFFECT OF WASTE  MANAGEMENT ON DEMAND FOR PROPERTIES. (A CASE STUDY OF ZUBA FCT ABUJA)

ABSTRACT

The management of waste is a major social and health problem in developing nations, especially in Zuba Gwagwalada Area Council of F.C.T. This effect of waste management has a lot of threat on landed properties which lead to low demand of properties in Zuba. The problem of waste management becomes a difficult one if such cities lack proper planning and facilities for its management. Current problem associated with indiscriminate dumping of waste around properties has attributed to the ever-increasing urban population, rapid and un co-ordinated physical developments and lack of public corporation as a result of this, the demand for properties tends to decrease day by day. This study seeks to assess the effect of waste collection and management on the demand for properties in Zuba. In carrying out this work, the researcher adopted both the secondary data, the research consulted reviewed relevant text books on researcher printed on hundred and twenty questionnaires (120) and administered same randomly to respondents on face to face basis irrespective of their sex. Data generated from this was arranged in tables and converted to simple percentages.

CHAPTER ONE

2.0            INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Waste, which is the unwanted or useless solid and liquid materials generated from combined residential, industrial and commercial activities in a given area may be categorized according to its origin (domestic, industrial, commercial, construction or institutional); according to its contents (organic material, glass, metal, plastic paper etc); or according to hazard potential (toxic, non-toxin, flammable, radioactive, infectious etc). Management of solid waste reduces or eliminates adverse impacts on the environment and human health and supports economic development and improved quality of life. A number of processes are involved in effectively managing waste for a municipality. These include monitoring, collection, transport, processing, recycling and disposal.

Cities in developing countries, like Nigeria, are facing increasing generation of waste and accompanying problems associated with waste collection and disposal (Begum et al., 2007). This is mainly due to increase in population growth and rapid economic expansion. The problem of solid waste in Nigeria as a country emanates from high waste generation, lack of disposal sites, inadequate waste collection by local authorities, and household/individual poor disposal habits (Banga et al., 2011). Uncontained generation of solid waste and disposal, coupled with poor collection services, poses a great threat to environmental quality, devaluing of land and landed property and human health (Jin et al., 2006; Afroz et al., 2009). In order to clean up zuba ( in Gwagwalada area council in the F.CT) of waste, the local authorities have to use the strategy of collecting what has been deposited by the urban dwellers with a viable measure of inhibiting the deposition. Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) takes an overall approach to creating sustainable systems that are economically affordable, socially acceptable and environmentally effective. An integrated solid waste management system involves the use of a range of different treatment methods, and key to the functioning of such a system is the collection and sorting of the waste. It is important to note that no one single treatment method can manage all the waste materials in an environmentally effective way. Thus all of the available treatment and disposal options must be evaluated equally and the best combination of the available options suited to the particular community chosen. Effective management schemes therefore need to operate in ways which best meet current social, economic, and environmental conditions of the municipality. It is in these views this research work seeks to assess the effect of waste management collection, disposal and how it affect property value in zuba town.

1.2     STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

·        Indiscriminate dumping of waste and poor collection / management of this waste has led to the devaluing of land and landed properties around the case study.

·        Poor waste management has also been the pivot on which environmental degradation hinges on around the case study.

·         The inadequate waste disposal system and management has resulted to various health challenges on the environment thereby reducing the demand for properties.
