Abstract
The study aims at assessing the location and spatial distribution of petrol filling stations in Ilaro , Ogun state . The objectives are to identify and map all the petrol filling stations in the study area; and assess their conformity with planning standards; and determine the distributional pattern of the petrol filling stations. The research adopted field surveys and remote sensing,especially the instrumentality of ArcGIS, in identifying the existing petrol filling stations as well as conducting queries to assess the level of compliance of the petrol filling stations with extant planning standards. Nearest Neighbour Analysis was equally employed in determining the distribution pattern of the facilities. With a Rn value of 0.36, the study amongst others, pointedlyreveal that the locational pattern of petrol filling stations in the study area tends towards clustering. The study, among others, recommends a moratorium on approval of petrol filling stations within the fully developed road corridors of the town.
