Land utilisation for various production practices in rural communities in Nigeria is marked with copious challenges and the management has become unsustainable among the local population. Therefore, the study was conducted to analyse factors influencing land use typologies, LUT among farming households in Akinyele Municipality of Oyo State, Nigeria. The employed a 3-stage sampling procedure for selection of 50 respondents from the study area. Information on demographic characteristics of the respondents, typologies of land use and factors impacting was collected with a structured questionnaire. The analyses of data collected was carried out was with frequencies, percentages and logit regression. The study showed majority (78.0%) were male, aged between 40 and 49 years, married (86.0%) and had secondary education (56.0%). The majority (78.0%) had household size ranging from 4-6 members, engaged in farming (80.0%). Furthermore, the result revealed that 94.0% of respondents conserve existing trees on their farmland, and about 56.0% of them were practicing agroforestry. The major factors affecting land use typologies were outcomes of climate change. The determining factors influencing LUT among farming households were occupation (β=1.829*), irregular rainfall (β=1.436*), depleted fruiting (β=1.438*), poor weather condition/drought (β=1.020*), and farmers’ indigene (β=3.247*) at α0.05. The study recommends strengthening of land management policies and stakeholders’ engagement in decision making as regards policies actualization to make land use typologies noticeable, effective and pronounce among farming households.
Abstract
Land utilisation for various production practices in rural communities in Nigeria is marked with copious challenges and the management has become unsustainable among the local population. Therefore, the study was conducted to analyse factors influencing land use typologies, LUT among farming households in Akinyele Municipality of Oyo State, Nigeria. The employed a 3-stage sampling procedure for selection of 50 respondents from the study area. Information on demographic characteristics of the respondents, typologies of land use and factors impacting was collected with a structured questionnaire. The analyses of data collected was carried out was with frequencies, percentages and logit regression. The study showed majority (78.0%) were male, aged between 40 and 49 years, married (86.0%) and had secondary education (56.0%). The majority (78.0%) had household size ranging from 4-6 members, engaged in farming (80.0%). Furthermore, the result revealed that 94.0% of respondents conserve existing trees on their farmland, and about 56.0% of them were practicing agroforestry. The major factors affecting land use typologies were outcomes of climate change. The determining factors influencing LUT among farming households were occupation (β=1.829*), irregular rainfall (β=1.436*), depleted fruiting (β=1.438*), poor weather condition/drought (β=1.020*), and farmers’ indigene (β=3.247*) at α0.05. The study recommends strengthening of land management policies and stakeholders’ engagement in decision making as regards policies actualization to make land use typologies noticeable, effective and pronounce among farming households.
