There has been explosive growth in global urban population as a result of natural population growth and rural to urban migration. Most inhabitants in World's cities experience urban poverty. There is the need to know who the poor are and where they are located hence, this study focuses on the evaluation of intra-urban poverty of Ado- Ekiti through the application of Geographical Information Systems. The data used for the study were collected through the administration of 510 copies of well-structured questionnaire. The Stratified Random Sampling technique was used in the administration of the questionnaire and the result was subjected to Factor Analysis Statistics. The following factors: Income, Housing and Housing characteristics (14.65%), Commerce and Communication (8.98%), Educational facilities (5.72%), Roads and Drainages (4.99%) and Water facilities (4.08%) were mapped. It was discovered that there was a spatial variation in the intra-urban poverty of the capital city. The farm settlement ward was found to be the poorest compared to other wards. It was recommended that Geographical Information Systems should be applied to test-run some of the developmental policies and programmes before the actual implementation by the government and other donor agencies.

As a matter of fact, it is almost never defined in itself, but through other concepts, such as growth, well-being, exclusion or equity. Poverty encompasses inadequate income and denial of the basic necessities such as education, health services, clean water and sanitation (United Nations, 2007). Poverty, being heterogeneous with multi-dimensional links to problems of hunger, illiteracy, diseases, child and maternal mortality is a fundamental challenge facing Africa as well as the rest of the World in the 21st century (Carly, Jenkins and Smith, 2001). Poverty is a mass phenomenon in sub- Sahara Africa, including Nigeria. The available statistical facts on poverty in Nigeria indicate the following:   35% of the population lives in extreme poverty;  almost 52% live on less than a dollar a day, equivalent of N320 per day;  54% are poor in relative terms; poverty incidence is highest in North East zone (63%), followed by North West 62.9%), North Central (62.3%), South-South (51.1%), South West (42%) and South  East (34.3%); about 63% of people living in the rural areas are poor compared with 41% in urban areas (National Planning Commission, 2007). In recent decades, there has been explosive growth in global urban populations. In developing countries, 40% to 60% of urban dwellers have inadequate sanitation (Tipping et al, 2005), and slum-dwellers (urban poor) are the most vulnerable to sanitation-related diseases because they are the most exposed to unmanaged human excreta and waste (Peterson et al, 2007). Africa is currently experiencing the highest rate of urbanization, with a four-fold increase in urban dwellers anticipated between 1990 and 2020, to reach 500 million people (Ndahlahwa, 2005). In tandem with this massive shift has come what Tipping, Adom and Tiaijuka, (2005) call "the rapid urbanization of poverty and ill-health" and the growth and densification of slums. The urban growth is attributed to both natural population growth and rural to urban migration. Urbanization contributes to sustained economic growth which is critical to poverty reduction. The economies of scale and agglomeration in cities attract investors and entrepreneurs which is good for overall economic growth. Cities also provide opportunities for many, particularly the poor who are attracted by greater job prospects, the availability of services, and for some, an escape from constraining social and cultural traditions in rural villages. Yet, city life can also present conditions of overcrowded living, congestion, unemployment, lack of social and community networks, stark inequalities, and crippling social problems such as crime and violence. European Journal of Social Sciences Studies - Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2016 2 Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun – SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA In Nigeria, the urbanization process is similar to what obtains in several other developing countries; as the growth and complexity of human settlements and in particular the rate of urbanization has been phenomenal (Ujoh et al., 2010). Considering its 2006 population figure of over 140 million people- the highest in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ajanlekoko, 2001; FRN, 2007; Jiboye, 2011a, Ayeni and Adebayo, 2016); available data however shows that the country has been growing at the rate of 5.5% annually from 1980 to 1993, and recently, its growth has increased to the rate of 5.8%, which has resulted in a total urban population of 62.66 million people (or, 43% of the national population). By projection, this proportion is expected to increase to more than 60% by 2025 (UN, 2007). Consequently, Nigeria has one of the highest urban growth rates, having cities ranked among the fastest growing in the world. Not only is the country experiencing one of the fastest rates of urbanization in the world, its experience has been unique in scale, pervasiveness and historical antecedents. This process has resulted in a very dense network of urban centres (Oladunjoye, 2005); thereby constituting a major problem to the urban residents whose quality of life and living conditions have deteriorated considerably (Ajala, 2005; Jiboye, 2009; 2011a). However, it has been established that the degrading condition of the cities' environment in most developing nations affects the socio-economic and national development (Ogunleye, 2005). Therefore, a major developmental challenge facing the nations, particularly those within the developing world, is how to cope with the increasing urbanization and minimize its adverse consequences on the cities' environment as well as overall wellbeing of the people (Jiboye, 2011b). The concept of city as being heterogeneous shows that, there is no single average welfare indicator that can present an overall urban condition that will give a correct picture of poverty within a city. In cities, the poor and rich-with their different levels of assets – live together, and there are significant intra-urban differentials in social, environmental, and health conditions (Stephens, and others, 1997). Manifestations of poverty in urban areas can be strongly site-specific. It is important to know the social and physical conditions of different groups and neighbourhoods within the city, the forms of deprivations that they suffer, and their numbers and characteristics. Since the creation of Ekiti State on the 1st of October 1996, the capital town has been expanding at a phenomenal rate to accommodate the ever- increasing population emanating from rural-urban migration. As the state capital, human influx has been on continuous rate that the infrastructural amenities cannot cope with population expansion. This has led to a situation where many find it difficult to meet their daily needs and only succeeded in falling below the poverty line. Traditionally, psychological theories of poverty focus more on the individual and their behaviour while sociological theories of poverty emphasise the role of the European Journal of Social Sciences Studies - Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2016 3 Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun – SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA social environment (Carr and Sloan, 2003). The economist is more concerned about the income of an individual and the relative power of commanding goods and services but the geographer is more interested in the location of the urban poor because there is an indisputable relationship between poverty and geographic location (Ayeni and Bankole, 2015). In this wise, there is the need to answer the question "where are the poor located?" This study therefore, employed an integrated vision of urban poverty by considering both spatial and non-spatial components to evaluate the intra-urban poverty of Ado- Ekiti with the tool of Geographical Information System (GIS). 1.1 Objective of the Study The aim of the study is to evaluate the spatial distribution of intra-urban poverty of Ado- Ekiti using Geographical Information System. 2. The Study Area Ado -Ekiti is the capital city of Ekiti State. It is located on the latitude 70 40' North of the Equator and latitude 500 16' east of the Greenwich Meridian and shares common boundaries with Irepodun/Ifedore Local Government, Ekiti South West and Gbonyin Local Government (Adebayo and Kolawole, 2010). Politically, the Local Government is delineated into thirteen wards (Fig. 1).The study area is mainly an upland zone rising 250 metres above the sea level. It has within the area underlain by metamorphic rocks of the basement complex with rugged range of hills characterising the landscape. The study area enjoys tropical climate with two distinct seasons: the rainy season (April - October) and the dry season (November - March). Temperature ranges between 210c and 280c with high humidity. As the State capital, the rapid pace of urbanization has brought about various environmental challenges like pressure on the available socio-infrastructural facilities, deforestation, housing deficit, road congestion, all resulting to urban poverty. 3. Study Methods For the purpose of this study, both primary and secondary sources of data were employed. Transect walks and Direct Interview was used to collect data on the location of each of the thirteen wards that make up the capital city. Opinion and community leaders were engaged in transect walk to move round and helped to determine the boundaries of the wards. Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to capture the locational data of the thirteen wards that make up the urban centre. The data were later mapped using GIS Arcview 8.3 software (Fig. 1). European Journal of Social Sciences Studies - Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2016 4 Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun – SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA A total of 510 copies of the questionnaire were distributed using systematic random sampling technique. Out of the 13 wards, 7 wards were identified for the administration of the questionnaire (Fig. 1). After the first electoral ward, (Idofin - 01), every other wards were picked respectively. This shows that every ward has equal chance of being picked. An average of 73 copies of the questionnaire were administered in each ward. Having identified the first household, every 4th household was picked. The results of the collated data using SPSS version 10 were subjected to factor analysis statistics. The over 100 poverty variables converged at the 25th rotation into 14 poverty factors (Appendices I & II). For proper urban poverty mapping, data for the other wards that were not considered in the course of questionnaire administration were captured using Advanced Spatial Statistics tool - Geostatic Analytical tool called Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW). IDW is based on the algorithm of distance with the assumption that things that are close to one another are more alike than those that are farther apart. Those measured values closest to the prediction location will have more influence on the predicted value than those farther away (Watson and Philip, 1985). IDW therefore, assumes that each measured point has a local influence that diminishes with distance. It determines the power function (p) value by minimizing the Root Mean Square Prediction Error (RMSPE). An optimal value for the power can be considered to be where the minimum mean absolute error is at its lowest. IDW relies mainly on the inverse of the distance raised to the power. The RMSPE is the statistic that is calculated from cross-validation. In cross-validation, each measured point is removed and compared to the predicted value for the location. The RMSPE is a summary statistic quantifying the error of the prediction surface. 4. Results and Discussion Ado – Ekiti has thirteen electoral wards. However, seven wards were purposively selected as follows: Ereguru, Okesa, Dalimore, Idofin, Odolofin, Oke Ila and farm settlements. It should be noted that data for other wards were derived from the application of Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), one of the tools of geo-statistical analyst. The major five factors of poverty, considering the factor loadings were considered as follows: 4.1 Income, Housing and Housing Characteristics Housing and housing characteristics include the type of building like face-to-face, flat, storey building, duplex, etc.; number of people living in the building, number of floors, number of rooms, types of toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, age of building and materials European Journal of Social Sciences Studies - Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2016 5 Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun – SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA used for the construction. Okesa and Dallimore wards have high average income distribution among the populace while Oke-Ila and Inisa wards have medium level of average income and Ijigbo, Irona, ereguru, Okeyinmi, Idolofin, Ijoka and Igbehin wards have relatively low average income distribution (Fig ii). This equally correlated positively with the types of building and housing characteristics in these wards. This shows that, wards with high average income distribution equally have high standard of houses with the required urban services while the ones with low average income distribution have low standard of houses and poor urban services (Fig. ii). In the low average income areas, face-to-face structure dictated the types of building while in high income areas; modern buildings like duplexes, storey buildings and the ones on flat basis were common. This is not to say that we cannot find some isolated cases where flat-based structures and even, duplexes were found in low average income areas and by extension, face-to-face structure were found in wards with high average income. The wards with low standard of housing characteristics were majorly inhabited and populated by the indigenes and old people while the elites were settlers from other parts of the state and far beyond. Most at times, the low and even medium housing wards have bathrooms, toilets and kitchens detached from the main building, hence, usually cover longer distances (high mean distances) to access these facilities. Number of households using such urban facilities was very high compared to the medium and high income wards. Since only few wards exhibited the characteristics of affluence, there is the need for urban re-structuring that will pave way for the urban poor to have more and easy access to urban services. 4.2 Commerce and Communication Gadgets More wards exhibited the characteristics of commercial centres. All the wards that share boundaries with the Central Business Districts (CBD), of the town have high commercial activities (Fig. III). Ereguru, Okeyinmi, Ijoka and Irona wards share high commercial activities compared to Inisa, parts of Dallimore, Okesa,Idofin and Idolofin wards with medium commercial activities while some parts of Ijigbo, Okesa, Oke-Ila and the farm settlement wards experienced low commercial activities compared to others. The commercial activities are very high at the urban centre (CBD) and fades out with longer distance from the centre (Fig. III). This is the effects of distance decay theory. For example, at the farm settlement ward, trading activities commonly found were the sales of agricultural products like plantain, yam, banana, kolanuts etc. The low population of people at the urban fringes encouraged farm products to be transported to the main urban centre for sale. The level of the usage of communication gadgets like television sets, radio, musical gadgets, handstes and even, computers (e-mailing) was high in parts of Okesa, European Journal of Social Sciences Studies - Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2016 6 Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun – SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA Oke-Ila, Dallimore, Okeyinmi wards than in Idofin, Idolofin, Inisa and Ijigbo wards. Today, there is a high usage of computers in the wards within the urban town too than the farm settlement ward where majority of them were illiterate farmers compared to the educated ones (and even, students of higher institutions) that reside in the former wards( Fig. III). However, due to the fact that some communities like Erifun and Ayoko are in farm settlement ward, the presence of students from the Federal Polytechnic, Ado and Afe Babalola University increased the usage of communication gadgets. At the low and medium commercial activities, small shops especially open market shops predominate the commercial landscape while we have shopping malls and super market, lock-up shops that were inter twined with open market shops in the high commercial centres. 4.3 Roads and Drainages The urban centre is transverse by a major dual-carriage road. Apart from this, some secondary arteries were served with tarred roads. Part of Oke-Ila, Idofin and Okesa wards enjoyed a relative dense networks while Inisa, Dallimore, Idolofin, Igbehin, Ereguru and Okeyinmi wards have a relatively medium road network while the farm settlement, part of Oke- Ila and Ijigbo wards were poorly served with road networks (Fig.IV). Access roads to some of the communities in the wards were mainly untarred and some seasonal. There is the need to create more access roads to encourage the movement of farm produce to urban markets for sales. Most of the new developed areas in the urban settlement were not accessible by roads, hence a major problem to vehicle users. In places where we have accessible roads, there were poor drainage systems, no good culverts or bridges. Thus, easy movement was hampered especially in the rainy season where most places were inundated with floods. Example of these is found in parts of Dallimore, Inisa, Irona, Igbehin wards (Fig. IV). 4.4 Educational Facilities The supply and access to educational facilities is high in some parts of Oke- Ila, Dallimore and Okesa wards. Here, we have more primary and secondary schools, School of Nursing and Ekiti State University (Fig.V). It may be surprising that part of farm settlement ward in the north- eastern part of the urban settlement has a high density of educational facilities. This is explained by the presence of the Federal Polytechnics and Afe- Babalola University. In the ancient part of the urban centre, wards like Inisa, Idofin, Ijigbo, Idolofin, and part of Okesa wards were serviced with relatively medium educational facilities whereas, Ereguru and parts of Irona wards were poorly served (Fig.V). However, the need for more educational facilities is being complimented by the provision from private individuals. European Journal of Social Sciences Studies - Volume 1 │ Issue 2 │ 2016 7 Ayeni, Gabriel Olusegun – SPATIAL PATTERN OF INTRA-URBAN POVERTY OF ADO- EKITI, SOUTH WESTERN NIGERIA 4.5 Water Facilities There is high supply of water facilities in Inisa, Idofin, parts of Okeyinmi, Oke-Ila, Irona and Ijoka wards compared to the relatively medium supply of same in Okesa, Dallimore, Ereguru, Irona wards while Ijigbo and farm settlement wards have low supply of water facilities (Fig. VI ). Even, with the presence of Ireje dam in the Ado Ekiti, most households depend on borehole, dug out wells and rainfall as the major sources of getting water for all human uses. The four natural water springs in the townAmu, Olotoro, Orojuda amd Omi - Olori (besides Mary Immaculate Grammar School) were not developed and therefore not tapped for human consumption. They have been subjected to serious pollution from level of urbanization and constructive works that have changed the eco-system in the environments (Fig.VI). Rivers and streams channels have been constructed to discharge floods from the surrounding environment and most of the surrounding buildings located their swage system down hills that later discharged human wastes through underground seepages to the springs, thereby, rendering them unsafe for human consumption. Generally, there was high shortage of water supplies in the state capital. Pipe-borne water only serviced a limited portion of the town and water supply was epileptic hence, inhabitants search for water as early as possible especially in the dry season. The shortage of water has provided job opportunities for some private water provider. They use vehicles to hawk water in tanks for sales and this method has been of immense help to the construction and building industries. 5. Conclusion One of the major findings of the study is that there was a spatial variation in the intraurban poverty of Ado- Ekiti. The farm settlement ward was seen to be the poorest compared to other wards. Geographical Information Systems, as a test bed for poverty reduction policies and programmes would therefore make necessary intervention to be 'ward-specific'. The differences in local variation with reference to the degree of poverty should guide intervention before applying it as a global poverty reduction policies and programmes for the urban centre. The scope of social and infrastructural facilities needed to be expanded and made more accessible and affordable to the urban poor. Urban planners would no doubt find these results useful in planning and administering our urban space especially, the capital city of the State.
