Abstract

Urban land use necessitates defining specific areas earmarked to serve the needs of the urban centre. That includes housing, agricultural, public utilities areas, together with land reserve for future use. But under certain circumstances, it becomes difficult to abide by a particular land use project. It is frequently observed that housing areas encroaches over agricultural areas. The later is to help to provide food to the urban centre. This type of encroachment is owed to the accelerating rural/urban exodus. The later has led to a serious urban phenomenon i.e. squatter settlements which have grown at the expense of agricultural areas. Urban land administration policy is largely responsibility for that. The investigator formulized six hypotheses and stated clearly the research methodology and sources of information. The information correlated was fed to a computer for analysis. Reasonable results have been concluded for example the urban agricultural land is continuously shrinking while the housing areas are extending with this trend, one day may come when no urban agricultural land will be available. The thesis suggests some recommendations which include the commitments of urban land authorities to the execution of the approved master plans, balanced development country-wise to curb rural/urban exodus, and other recommendation.
