Olayiwola, Lasun Mykail ... [et al.]
Cities are of enormous political, social, cultural and economic importance in various countries in which they are located. Land value is one of the major determinants of the morphology of these cities. This paper attempt an examination of the spatial dimension of the factors that could affect land value by positing Lagos, Nigeria as a case study. Seven hundred and fifty five household heads selected through stratified random sampling technique are interviewed using already prepared questionnaires. The information that is collected from the field are subjected to factor and principal component analysis. This is done to show the spatial variation that existed between factors of land values such as accessibility, rent, and transport improvement, quality of neighbourhoods, infrastructural facilities and government regulations. The need for planners to consider the land value determinants in planning for optimum use of land are presented.
