Abstract
Planning as a distinct field of public administration seeks to protect public interest and development through regulatory powers. The extent of the achievement of this regulatory role can be potentials or impediments towards sustainability or otherwise, of the built environment. This study assessed the level of compliance to building regulations in Ijebu-Ode with the objectives of revealing the level of awareness of the people on building laws and regulations, their perception of building regulatory activities and the level of achievement of building rules and regulations. A sample of 205 buildings was selected from a population of 2,052 buildings, representing 10% of the total number of buildings in the study area. Data collected on the study revealed that 26.5% of the buildings complied with building regulation on the premise of building approval while the remaining 73.5% of the buildings did not comply. It was also confirmed that building regulations is a factor of environmental sustainability. However, lack of public awareness and participation in planning and implementations of rules, high cost of permit fees, cumbersome process of obtaining permits and extortion from the Officials are impediments towards sound building regulation. Massive awareness campaign, public participation in policy/plan making and implementation, poverty alleviation, affordable permit rate, jack-up in monitoring and control; and provision of all tools and incentives needed by the control officials were recommended for a better and sustainability built environment through adequate building regulations.
