A critical analysis of pattern of land use in Osogbo metropolis adopted as a case study. The project is arranged in the following ways objective, methodology, social, limitation and justification of the study chapter two deals with literature review, urban infrastructural, types of urban infrastructure property value and various factors affecting property value. A critical analysis of pattern of land use in the study area, Historical background, Geographical location, types of property in study area. Physical characteristics are also discussed.

1.1 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY AREA

INTRODUCTION

In recent years, much attention has been directed to the different use to which land is being put by social scientists most especially urban planners who said. Out environment today is the result of an economics sociological, aesthetic and political, it is essences and since land is a scares resource, it is essential therefore that land is used effectively and efficiently. 

Land pattern refers to the various forms and arrangement to which land is subjected to critical study of the various town and cities show a similar pattern of land use. 

The following categories of land use in urban area residential of land use, industrial land use commercials education, administrative, recreational and social land use including waste land such as rocky areas.

It must be noted moreover that most of out cities and urban centers shows a land use. The question of how uniform the ecological pattern of these cities led to the carrying out of several researches and studies to those concerning the uniformity in the ecological to formulate pattern.      

This made the ecologists to formulate pattern of the cities in essence, this project intend to study the critical analysis of land use pattern in Osogbo metropolis with a view to find out the relationship that exist between land use pattern with some suggested solution and recommendation. 

Osun became state in August 27th 1991 in the sixth year anniversary broadcasting of President Ibrahim Babaginda. The state was one of the Nigeria new states created in 1991 others are Abia state, Kebbi state, Kogi state, Delta state, Jigawa state, Enugu state, Yobe state and Taraba state. Before this time, the state was part of old western Region and later became part of the Old Oyo state before it finally became a state today. Most of the towns and villages in Osun State of today are as the country itself

The state capital is Osogbo with a total number of thirty local government councils. Among the major towns in Osun state are Osogbo, Ilesah, Ile-Ife, Ede, Ilaorangun and Egigbo among others.

The state was blessed with abundant deposited of natural resources such as Gold, Clay, Limestone and Granite.

However, Osogbo being the State capital came into being the state expansion of tropical climate while the local natural vegetation is the lowland rainforest types.

Owa Laorooye (Laro) and Oguntimehin (Timehin) both co-founders came from Ipole, the original homestead of the earliest settlers, around 1650 and 1700.

Timehin was a great hunter. He had made several expeditions to the Osun forest during which he discovered Osun River whose water never dried throughout the year. The presence of Osun River and other physical features of the area impressed Timehin. Back at Ipole (located some 12 kilometers from Osun River and which had been experiencing acute water shortage), he informed Owa Laorroye of his adventure, discovery and conviction that if they shifted their abode to the area, the problem of water shortage would be solved. After due consideration, Laro, Timehin and their people left Ipole to settle along Osun River.

Legend has it that when a tree fell into the historic River, a voice complained and pleaded. Spirit of the forest you have broken all my dyeing pois move power from here so that you may prosper. Aro and Timehin were said to have replied in fear Osogobo ode o, which translate into the spirit of the forest sorry. The two men believed the voice to be that of the Osun goddess. From that day, the settlers called their abode Osogbo which was perfected to OSOGBO. The spot where Osun River is worshipped today was where Osogbo people first settled. Following the Osun goddess complaint and Advice, the first settlers Oba Larooye and Timehin and their people moved upwards as directed to where the first historic palace in Osogbo is now situated.

These are the assumed limitation of this study inadequate records keeping system in the organization or establishment in order to supply the data needed at the appropriate time. 

I. Financial aspect involved in carrying out the work. 

II. Limited time between preparation for the second semester examination and the time of carrying out the study.   

1.9 PLAN OF THE STUDY 

This research work shall contain the following chapter with each having the appropriate head line to be illustrated further.  

Chapter one which will consist of introduction, methodology of the study, aim and objectives of the study and layout of the study. 

Chapter two consist of introduction where is necessary, literature review and new ideas and opinion should be added to the existing body of knowledge, concentric circle model, transition, zone low income housing etc. 

Chapter three contains the mean of achieve ring the goal of the study, the produce and analysis of data collection, it will also identify data presentation methods needed for the study. 

Chapter four will be the act of convey method of data presentation and analysis discussion three and display it.
