Overview

Survey study reveals severe multidimensional flood impacts among urban residents, highlighting the need for stricter drainage maintenance and zoning enforcement.

Key Points

  • To assess urban residents' perceptions regarding the extent and multidimensional effects of flooding in flood-prone residential communities.
  • Surveyed 258 respondents across eight purposively selected residential areas in urban centers of North Central Nigeria, supplemented by key informant interviews with local farmers and traders.
  • Assessed scale reliability across 19 flood-effect variables using Cronbach's alpha (coefficients ≥ 0.75) and analyzed underlying domains using principal component analysis.
  • Residents consistently assigned high severity ratings to flood effects across all measured survey items.
  • Principal component analysis extracted three components with eigenvalues greater than one that explained 65.988% of the total variance, classifying impacts into environmental and health, infrastructural, and socio-economic dimensions.
