Item Adoption of Inclusive Architecture Design Strategies in Selected Community Centres, Lagos Mainland, Nigeria(Civil Engineering and Architecture 12(6), 2024) Adewale, B. A.; Odewumi, Anuoluwa NissiCommunity centres play a variety of important responsibilities in communities. They function as cohesive environments, fostering the convergence of individuals from diverse backgrounds to engage in collaborative endeavours and promote inclusion, which is essential for sustainable urban development. This study examined the adoption of inclusive architecture strategies in three selected community centres in Lagos Mainland, Nigeria – Araromi Youth Development Centre, Magodo Residents Association Community Centre, and Ikeja Youth Centre, in order to improve inclusion in public spaces and foster sustainable urban development. Employing a qualitative approach, the research aimed to evaluate the adoption level of inclusive architecture strategies in the study area. Utilising an observation guide as a research instrument supported by a thorough literature review, the study conducted in-depth case studies within the study area, revealing commendable levels of adoption. However, a deeper examination reveals opportunities for greater adoption of inclusive architecture strategies in order to achieve a more holistic and inclusive design aligned with global standards. This study also offers significant implications in the field of architecture as it provides a comprehensive framework that future research can use to assess and compare the inclusiveness of different public spaces. This research underscores the pressing need for enhanced inclusivity in urban spaces and public areas, contributing valuable insights to academic discussions and offering practical implications for educators, architects, urban planners, and policymakers, thus fostering inclusivity and sustainable urban development.Item Methods of Intellectual Property Valuation in Nigeria: Preference of Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Southwest, Nigeria.(Journal of Harbin Engineering University Vol 46 No. 7, 2025-06) Ibisola, A. S.; Ayedun, C. A.; OLOKE, Olayinka C.Estate Surveyors and Valuers (ESVs) are by laws, education and training recognised and adjudged as the most qualified professionals to determine the value of interests in property in Nigeria. In doing this, many processes and ingredients are necessary to be blended together to arrive at acceptable and market compliance value. One of such tools or ingredients are the methods of valuation adopted in the course of the valuation processes for different purposes and at a specific point in time. This study evaluates the preference of ESVs among the various methods of IP valuation in Nigeria. Total number of 247 questionnaires was used to elicit data from the practicing ESVs in Southwest, Nigeria. The data obtained were analysed with the use of Relative Importance Index (RII). It was found that the sampled ESVs preferred the use of Rule of Thumbs methods of IP valuation on the basis that the methods are very easy to use and devoid of rigorous calculations. Findings further showed that ESVs preferred the use of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) and premium profits approaches as variants of income-based methods. The study therefore recommended the inclusion of valuation of IP in the valuation curricula of institutions offering Estate Management in the study area.
