Abstract
Ilaro continues to witness urban transformation expressed in various dimensions, and this include the filling stations in different locations. The survey exercise revealed that a total of twenty seven (27) filling stations are functioning in the study area. An on-spot assessment of the filling stations revealed that: fourteen (14) filling stations, representing 52% of the total filling stations in the study area are within the residential area; one (1) filling station has no space for parking; one (1) filling station with inadequate space for parking; while eight (8) filling stations, representing 30% of the total filling stations in the study area are located less than 100 meters to public facilities. Eight clusters were formed with respect to the locations of the filling stations for the purpose of assessing potential effects of the locations of the filling stations. The identification of the locational effects takes into cognizance the level of compliance to five compliance factors of the 2010 Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning Law. Potential effects of the locations of the filling stations in the study area are; fire outbreak hazards from the filling stations within the residential zone and those close to public facilities; traffic bottleneck due to lack or inadequacy of spaces within the filling stations and those filling stations that are close to public facilities; and the possible water pollution resulting from close proximity of filling station to water bodies. It is therefore recommended that the planning authority enforce the planning regulations in the study area in order to prevent negative consequences resulting from illegal locations of filling stations in the study area.
