... the capital of Oyo State is located in the Southwestern part of Nigeria between latitude 7 0 23 ' and 7 0 54 ' North of equator and longitude 3 0 53 ' and 3 0 54 ' East of the Greenwich Meridian. The city is elevated at about 234 meters above sea level and it is situated on gently rolling hills running in a Northwest/southeast direction (Agbola and Olurin, 2000). Figure 1 shows the map of Ibadan. Ibadan enjoys the West African monsoon climate which has two major seasons (rain: March and October and dry: November and February season). Ibadan is found in the Guinea savannah, thus it is naturally a belt of a mixture of trees and tall grasses in the South, with shorter grasses and less trees in the North. The vegetation pattern in Ibadan is a patchwork of broken forest, savannah woodland, dense thickets and large tracts of forbs vegetation dominated by chromolaena (Eupatorium) and odorata (Siamweed), (Fagbami, 1976) as cited in Odjugo ...

The respondents' residences were defined as rural, peri-urban, and rural according to the governance and administrative divisions of local government in Ibadan, Nigeria (Olanrewaju et al. 2018). Sex was reported as either female or male, and the age of respondents was reported in years and classified as ' < 50 years' or ' ≥ 50 years' to compare SQ by 'young and middle-aged adults' or 'late middle-aged adults' respectively (Lachman 2004). ...
Purpose
Sleep quality (SQ) is essential in the overall well-being and quality of life, but little is known about the association of secondhand smoking (SHS) with SQ. This study assessed the relationship between SHS and SQ among adults who had never smoked in Ibadan, Nigeria.
Methods
We identified 3193 respondents who had never smoked or used any form of tobacco product in the Community-based Investigation of the Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases in the Ibadan and suburbs (COMBAT-CVDs) study. SHS was self-reported, SQ assessed using a sleep quality scale, and SQ scores were classified by the quartile distributions of SQ scores in this sample as good (< 7), moderate (7–13), fair (14–20), and poor (≥ 21), and logistic regression models were used to estimate the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the association between SHS and SQ in a two-sided test at P < 0.05.
Results
The mean (SD) of age in this sample was 34.8 ± 15.1 years; 1621 (50.8%) were females, and 848 (26.6%) experienced SHS. The multivariable-adjusted odds by categories of SQ scores (using good SQ as reference) in the light of SHS were OR: 1.64 (95%CI 1.28, 2.12) for moderate SQ, OR: 1.88 (95%CI 1.46, 2.42) for fair SQ and OR: 2.14 (95%CI 1.66, 2.75) for poor SQ; P < 0.0001 after adjusting for relevant covariates. The sex- and age groups- stratified analyses revealed similar trends.
Conclusion
SHS is associated with higher odds of poor SQ in this study. Culturally relevant interventions for mitigating exposure to SHS might improve SQ and overall quality of life, particularly among vulnerable populations.

The idea of climate engineering still remains elusive, particularly in several of those developing countries that are most affected by climate change. This knowledge gap can be addressed by knowing the perception of climate change and then introducing and getting feedback on its modification via climate engineering, from
the select group of developing countries. Building upon an earlier attempt to achieve these aims, a new group of three developing countries in the global South (Pakistan, Nigeria, and Kenya) is selected to examine their perspective via a total of more than 1000 responses. Descriptive and inferential results indicate that there are significant differences within the global South on awareness of global warming and climate engineering, as well as on the deployment of sulfate aerosols as a measure to delay the harshest effects of global warming.

Erosion, the loss of topsoil under the action of water or wind remains a threat to soil quality
and quantity. Globally, it is identified as an endemic problem accompanied with various
environmental, agricultural, social and economic impacts. The study examine the causes of
gully erosion and its impact on housing accessibility within Ibadan metropolis. identify gully
erosion within the study area and also examine its impact on housing accessibility across the
three local governments selected within Ibadan metropolis. Random and purposive sampling
techniques was employed to select three different locations namely Kudeti, Idi-Arere and Oja-
oba within Ibadan South East Local Government Area namely. Primary data was collected
through observational survey as pictures while the findings were descriptively analyzed. The
study was conducted using a descriptive approach. The study found anthropogenic and natural
factors as the major cause of gully erosion in the area. Meanwhile the anthropogenic factors
were largely associated with poor management and maintenance of drainage system
(channels/culverts) while the natural factor was due to the geologic characteristics of the area
(climate and slope). The impact of gully erosion identified was directly on the environment
which include soil loss degenerating into serious threat on accessibility to residential homes;
destruction and damages of roads, pedestrian bridge and excavation of landscape within the
study area. The study therefore recommends that more awareness be created on proper
management and maintenance of drainage channels/culverts within the study area.
Additionally, penalty should also be issued for poor management of drainage through
dumping of refuse into the channel.

Africa is gradually becoming the epicentre for the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, and community-based data alluding to the pattern and dynamics of escalating epidemiological thresholds of CVDs among indigenous Africans are limited. This manuscript focuses on the design and methods of Community-based Investigation of the Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases in Ibadan and suburbs (COMBAT-CVDs), an ongoing community-based door-to-door study assessing the profile, burden and dynamics of CVDs risk factors among residents of Ibadan and suburbs. COMBAT-CVDs is a cohort of community-dwelling indigenous Africans, males and females, ≥18years from ten communities in Ibadan, Nigeria. The recruitment of participants for the first wave (W0) started in 2020, covering; questionnaire administration and physical examination. The World Health Organization's STEPS Instrument for Chronic Disease Risk Factor Surveillance was used for data collection. Data were collected on sociodemographic, socioeconomic and lifestyle-related characteristics, history of CVDs, stress, depression and sleep quality. Also, anthropometric and blood pressure measures were conducted by trained personnel using standard operating procedures and instruments. Data collection for the second wave is underway, and the collection of blood and other biological samples for genetic epidemiology is planned, subject to availability of funds. For the W0 recruitment, a total of 3638 community-dwelling adults (males-54.6% and females-45.4%) participated with a ≥99.7% response rate. The COMBAT-CVDs will likely provide novel data, insightful characterization of CVDs risk factors and evidence for context-specific and culturally relevant interventions for the community-based prevention and management of CVDs among Africans in this setting.
... Selon Maddison, (2007), la mise en oeuvre des stratégies d'adaptation nécessite l'identification et la connaissance des causes des changements observés dans les écosystèmes forestiers. Sur ce, plusieurs études se sont intéressées à l'identification des causes de la déforestation et la dégradation des forêts (Ahmad and Pandey, 2018;Appiah et al., 2009;Olanrewaju et al., 2018;Santilli et al., 2005;Van Khuc et al., 2018;Zeb et al., 2019).

Le changement d'affectation des terres est l'une des causes majeures de la dégradation et de la déforestation dans le monde. Au Bénin, les écosystèmes sont largement dépendants des activités anthropiques. Cette étude vise à analyser la perception de l'état des écosystèmes forestiers ainsi que des moteurs d'affectation des terres de déforestation et de dégradation afin de formuler des stratégies de gestion durable. Elle s'est basée sur une enquête auprès de 671 individus dans 66 villages de six communes repartis dans deux zones écologiques. Les caractéristiques socio-économiques, la perception de l'état et des moteurs de dégradation des écosystèmes forestiers ont été collectés. Après une analyse descriptive de la perception locale des moteurs de dégradation, la régression logistique binaire a été utilisée pour tester l'effet des facteurs socio-économiques sur la probabilité de citation d'une cause de dégradation et de déforestation. Les résultats montrent que la communauté locale a une large perception des moteurs de dégradation, incluant les facteurs directs et indirects. L'agriculture, l'élevage, l'exploi-tation forestière illégale, la démographie, l'urbanisation, la chasse et la pauvreté ont été perçus différemment et en fonction de la région écologique, du niveau d'instruction, de l'âge et de l'ethnie. La prise en compte de ces facteurs déterminants de Ahononga et al. : Perception des causes de dégradation et de déforestation 44 la perception des moteurs de dégradation et de déforestation doit être considérée pour élaborer les programmes de dévelop-pement durable et de gestion intégrée de l'environnement.

Reporting the changing in land cover of the city (Oluseyi, 2006;Mengistu & Salami, 2007;Oladele & Oladimeji, 2011;Fabeku et al., 2018; reported that the land cover of Ibadan has reduced and that deforestation is on the incline (Olanrewaju et al., 2018;Bello et al., 2018). This study argues that two contributory factors to urban deforestation of Ibadan is the bush burning (76.7%) and Ayeni et al (2016) has argued that these two acts are a major driver to the increased decline in surface water in the region (both inland and hydro-setting). ...
Two terms that are enjoying increasing overwhelming global literature advocacy and discussion are urban farming and climate change. While there is increasing advocacy towards the relevance of urban agriculture for urban dwellers and how it translates into a mitigation strategy against climate change variability and adaptation to urban poverty, the effect of some urban farming activities and how it serves as a driver to climate change needs to be investigated. In most of the urban periphery where there is availability of a large expanse of land areas, farming activities are usually practised in form of settlement farm, livestock rearing, or plantation agriculture. The study based on quantitative and qualitative data from urban farmers in Ibadan argues that the location of urban farmlands is dependent on climatic factor such as access to land. The study identified that climate variability as reported by the urban farmers has resulted in the increased use of fertilizer for farming by urban farmers, and the main activity that is pro-climate change and variability is bush burning.
... The survey questions involved factors of climate change perception to extreme precipitation events [28,36,[40][41][42][43][44][45]. Climate change experience included questions relevant to previous experiences of heavy rain events [3,24,39,[46][47][48][49][50], connecting 14 subjects such as the frequency of epidemics, the probability of contracting an illness, rural population loss, decline in life qualify, degradation of air quality, increased disaster occurrence, increased post-disaster recovery costs, greater risks in pest outbreak, unfavorable conditions for industrial and commercial development, inadequate food supply to achieve self-sufficiency, reduction in biodiversity, degradation of forestry land, unstable water supply and quantities, and disappearance of traditional customs [36,37,[50][51][52]. ...
Over the last five decades, there has been a decline of rural communities in Taiwan due to urbanization expansion. In the past 10 years, the central government has implemented the Rural Regeneration Project (RRP) aimed at revitalization and sustainable development in rural Taiwan. During the project’s implementation, communities have faced several disasters as a result of climate change-induced extreme rainfall events. Perceptions and adaptation practices of climate change-induced extreme events are critical to community sustainability and resilience. The gap between perceived and actual risks that communities experience creates challenges for policy-makers in achieving sustainability goals. This study aims to evaluate the perceived climate change-induced flooding hazard perceptions compared to the scientific projection and actual hazard events in 287 rural communities implementing the RRP. This study revealed consistency in risk perception, in that communities facing high potential exposure to extreme rainfall showed higher awareness of various impacts of climate change. However, when comparing climate actions, communities exposed to low-potential hazard areas had a relatively higher degree of recognition of the benefits of adaptation to climate change. Moreover, 59 rural communities with low awareness and exposed to high potentials of extreme events were widely distributed among hills of western, southern, and northern Taiwan, where compound disasters such as mudslides can occur. This research suggests that there is a need to integrate climate change planning and work with communities to bridge the gap between perceived and actual climate risks. In particular, capacity training, counseling services, and implementation of adaptation practices should be integrated into institutional planning and management for providing assistance in disaster prevention, relief, and post-event restoration; also, encouraging climate actions can directly improve community resilience toward climate change. While investing in the sustainable development of rural communities is largely based on revitalizing economic development, this study revealed the link to ensure resilience and social-ecological sustainability in rural communities under climate change impacts.
