英文文献摘要:
Due to increasing population, migration and urbanization, demand for urban land uses is obviously outstripping supply leading to highly conflicting land uses in the urban areas. Consequently, there are lopsided land allocations by urban planners to residential, commercial and industrial uses leaving many uses especially in the informal sector uncatered for. Thus, urban crop farming which is a variant of urban agriculture is considered an illegal land use without land being provided for it. This paper advocates that urban crop farming be validly recognized by policy makers in order to enhance its contribution to sustainable urban land management. Seven farming communities in the metropolis where urban crop farming is thriving well were purposely selected while simple random sampling was subsequently used to select respondents in farming communities and structured questionnaires administered to them. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics to answer the various research questions while regression analysis was used to investigate the research hypothesis. The study established that most of the lands used by urban crop farmers are owned by public authorities (65.8%), private organizations (23.9%) and individuals (7.2%). Respondents therefore largely gained access to land through squatting or land grabbing (60.1%) and renting (28.7%). It also established that urban crop farmers’ productivity could be greatly improved if problems associated with affordability were tackled. The study therefore provided a blueprint for policy makers that would enable equitable land distribution in the Lagos metropolis.
由于人口的不断增长、人口的迁移和城市化,城市土地利用的需求明显超过了供给,导致城市地区土地利用的高度冲突。因此,城市规划者不平衡地将土地分配给住宅、商业和工业用途,使许多用途,特别是在非正式部门得不到满足。因此,作为都市农业的一种变体,都市作物种植被认为是一种没有提供土地的非法土地利用。本文主张城市农业应得到决策者的有效认可,以增强其对城市土地可持续管理的贡献。本研究选取都市农业发展较好的7个农业社区,采用简单随机抽样的方法在农业社区中选取调查对象,并向其发放结构化问卷。所收集的资料采用描述性统计分析来回答各种研究问题,而采用回归分析来调查研究假设。研究发现,城市农民使用的大部分土地归政府(65.8%)、私人组织(23.9%)和个人(7.2%)所有。因此,受访者大多是通过擅自占用或抢夺土地(60.1%)及租用(28.7%)方式取得土地。它还确定,如果与负担能力有关的问题得到解决,城市作物农民的生产力可以大大提高。因此,这项研究为决策者提供了一份能够在拉各斯大都市公平分配土地的蓝图。
