Tunde Mojeed conducted a survey of mobility behavior in Lagos, Nigeria. The study analyzed trip diary data from Lagos residents to understand their mobility patterns. Key findings included that public transit is the most commonly used mode of transport. Factors like gender, age, and place of work influenced average trip rates. While information technology has substituted some trips, traffic congestion remains a major issue. Respondents prioritized improving transportation affordability, accessibility, and safety. Recommendations focused on regulating public transit, expanding non-motorized options, and continuing investment in transportation infrastructure.
The paper examined Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) within the context of electoral
process in Nigeria, with a view to determining the characteristics of users of technology in the country. Data for
the study were obtained through the primary and secondary sources. Primary source include the use of
questionnaire, interview of respondents and observation. The study revealed that age, education, training,
experience and user involvement are the major demographic variables that can determine acceptance of
technology as its relates to electoral process. User involvement, experience, training need for achievement and
education were equally the most prominent determinants of acceptance of technology across all thesis geopolitical
zones. The study concluded that these determinants should be considered by the Independent National
Electoral Commission in determining the choice of technology for voting in the nearest future.
The document summarizes a study on mobility behavior in Lagos, Nigeria. It collected primary data through surveys in 8 Lagos local government areas. Home-work trips accounted for 36% of trips while non-home trips were 25%. Public transit was the most used mode for 33% of trips. The study found no significant variation in daily trips based on information and communication technology use. It identified financing of transportation as coming mainly from public sources like government allocations. The conclusion recommends providing affordable, convenient, and accessible public transit prioritizing integrated collective modes to support basic needs and traffic flows.

This document discusses the importance of information literacy (IL) skills for scanning the external business environment. It begins by establishing that IL instruction aims to develop independent lifelong learners, but most studies focus on academic settings rather than workplaces. The document then defines environment scanning as identifying, collecting, processing, analyzing, and interpreting external information for strategic decision-making. As environment scanning is information-intensive, good IL skills are needed. Survey results from travel agencies in Singapore show limited use of online sources and barriers like lack of time and IL skills. Interviews revealed IL-related problems like inability to identify sources and improper information storage. The study concludes IL training is needed to help employees make quality decisions.

Building Spatial Data Infrastructures for Spatial Planning in Africa: Lagos e...Samuel Dekolo
油
Lagos is the fastest growing Megacity in Sub-Saharan Africa, with its population estimated to double in the first quarter of this century; it is expected to be the third largest urban agglomerations in the world. This growth is not without challenges, as the city is grappling with myriads of urban management problems. City planners lack the most important ingredient of land use management, which is Information. In spite of huge investment on spatial data infrastructures at the national and state levels of government, most land use planners at both state and local government level agencies are ignorant of existing geospatial technology portals and unlock the full potentials of information and communication technologies. A statewide survey of the spatial data infrastructures of the citys urban and land use management ministry and agencies proves its pathetic state, thereby creating information gap void between urban development and intelligent management. The result is has led to a sporadic growth of slums and unplanned settlements which now accounts for over 60% of the city. To avoid an impasse, it is necessary to review the level of geospatial technologies used at the local level and recommend formidable means of integration in the decision making process. This paper examines the level of geospatial technologies and Spatial Data Infrastructure use in spatial planning agencies and barriers to implementation in the 20 local governments of Lagos State and suggests the way forward.

Abstract
Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effects of gender, age and education on new technology
implementation in Saudi Arabia, a technologically developing country, using the Theory of Planned
Behavior (TPB).
Design/methodology/approach The research was an empirical investigation based on surveys
completed by 1,088 Saudi knowledge workers.
Findings The TPB model performs well in Saudi Arabia. This validation accounts for 37 percent of
the variance in behavioral intention among Saudi knowledge workers. For the moderator variables,
there were no statistically significant interactions, with the exception of the moderation of perceived
behavioral control on behavioral intention by level of education.
Research limitations/implications Saudi Arabia is an exemplar for many developing nations
characterized by distinct intellectual and cultural traditions that differ from Western cultures.
Demographic variables (e.g. gender and age) that have been reported to be significant moderators of
the influences of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control on behavioral intention in
other cultural samples were found to be non-significant in this Saudi Arabian sample.
Practical implications System developers using user-centered design approaches have different
design criteria for the successful workforce adoption of information technology (IT) systems in a
technologically developing nation, as compared to the workforce of a technologically developed nation.
Originality/value This paper validates TPB as a multi-cultural model for investigating the impact
of attitudes, beliefs, and subjective norms on technology adoption, and, in contrast to previous studies,
indicates the (non)effects of select demographic moderators on the model using a non-Western sample.

This document summarizes a study on the lived experiences of traffic enforcers in Ozamiz City, Philippines. Seven traffic enforcers were interviewed. Two main themes emerged: 1) Adversity in fulfilling duties, such as dealing with undisciplined drivers in the rain or during collisions. 2) Encountering harassment, resistance, and threats from motorists, as some are uncooperative and insist they did not break laws. The study found traffic enforcement to be challenging due to factors outside of enforcers' control and disrespectful motorists. It recommended traffic enforcers continue approaching motorists with patience and respect.

While anyone can get distracted behind the wheel, some people may be more prone than others, according to油a study油published Friday in油Frontiers in Psychology油by油Ole Johansson, a researcher at Norway's油Institute of Transport Economics.
The study looks at the driving habits and personalities of hundreds of Norwegian high schoolers and adults. While few reported distracted driving was a problem for them, some patterns about who was more likely to be distracted emerged.
Young men were among the most likely to report distraction due to phones but also people talking in the car or flipping through the radio dial. The study found that the more distraction-prone included frequent drivers, and those with neurotic and extroverted personalities.
Also, people who felt that distracted driving was socially acceptable or didn't feel they could control distractions were also more likely to report distracted driving, the study shows. Older women and those who felt that they could control their behavior were less likely to report distraction.
The study also looked at potential interventions, such as giving drivers a quiz of sorts, asking them "If/Then" questions designed to make them think about distracted driving. For example, "If I find myself wondering whether someone has sent me a text, then I will __" (remind myself it's against the law, remember it's dangerous to do so, etc.) However, this particular intervention did not cause a big dip in distracted driving.
Still, the Norwegian study is the first of its kind to look at the connections between intentions and behavior when it comes to distracted driving, and it adds to emerging data on the impact of personalities and gender.

3. Brief Introduction
How can we ensure that transportation systems and services
adequately meet the needs of an increasingly diverse population of
Lagos?
Transportation planners need a firm understanding of the mobility
behaviour of people.
Mobility behaviour: Who, When, Where, Why, How, How often
Mobility behaviour is closely related to study of Travel Demand

5. Aim and Specific Objectives
Surveying and Analysing Mobility Behaviour in Lagos, Nigeria by Tunde Mojeed, YISAU. Supervised by Prof. Markus Friedrich
Analyse trip diary survey of Lagos residents with a view to achieving a
better understanding of the mobility behaviour of the people in the area
Examine the socio-economic characteristics of
Lagos residents in relation to mobility behaviour
(mode choice and trip rate)
Identify most commonly adopted mode choice in
relation to various activities
Study the impact of Information and
Communication Technology on trip-making ability
Investigate the transportation needs and wants of
Lagosians, as well as the sources of finance and
the obstacles to achieve effective mobility system
Proffer palliative measures to enhance sustainable
and effective mobility system
6. Scope of the Study
Conceptually, the study focuses mainly on mode choice and trip
frequency as an aspect of mobility behaviour.
The study is limited to land transport. The occurrence of other modes
was by chances and reference was only made to other modes where
it is necessary
The study is household survey in which a representative from each
household was selected.
Geographically, the study was conducted in Lagos State, and Lagos
metropolitan areas form the study area in which Ikeja administrative
division is the main focus and area for data collection.
Ikeja administrative division comprises of eight local government
areas for the study: Agege, Alimosho, Ifako-Ijaye, Ikeja, Kosofe,
Mushin, Oshodi-Isolo, Shomolu.

21. Trip Rate by the Use of ICT
Mean trip: Daily 2.8, 1-2 times a week 2.7, Once in a week 2.5, and Not at all 2.6.
From the ANOVA result (P=0.305), It was deduced that there is no significant variation in
trip frequency by the use of ICT . This actually influenced or depended on the exact
impact of ICT on travel behaviour.

26. Hypothesis: Mode choice availability does not influence trip
frequency of Lagosians
A multiple regression analysis was conducted to predict the trip rate
(y) from the availability and influences of different modes (walking
(x1), cycling (x2), biking (x3), taxi-cab (x4), private car (x5), public
transit (x6), rail transport (x7), air transport (x8) and water transport
(x9)) on trip.
Having satisfied all the assumptions of multiple regression, analysis
shows that these variables are not statistically significantly predict
trip rate, F (9, 230) = 1.728, p-value = 0.084. R2 = 0.063, which
means the variation in trip rate can only be explained by 6% of
independent variables (mode choice) while the remaining 94% can
be explained by other factors outside this study.
Cycling is the only variable contributed to the model with p=0.003 but
with negative coefficient values. That is, availability of cycling is
inversely proportional to trip rate.

27. Recommendations
Policy to regulate the services of LAGBUS and other Public Transit.
Policy to incorporate & implement non-motorisation transport.
Extension of BRT network to some other parts of Lagos.
Safety and comfort must be encouraged for all Public Transits.
Policy to regulate the issuance of drivers卒 license.
Policy to invest more on transportation (especially road and rail).
Communication strategies for the available modes should be built.
Policy to encourage telecommuting and teleshopping.
Policy to curb corruption at every sectors of organisation
(government, private and individual).
Continuity in government projects and political stability is very crucial
to development.
