Abstract

The development and administration of urban infrastructure in the majority of developing nations has faced significant challenges in recent decades due to enormous urbanization. However, in light of the declining urban environment, it has frequently been questioned whether traditional urban planning techniques are still effective for improving the circumstances of the urban environment. Finding novel strategies has become essential, especially when dealing with impoverished metropolitan areas. In order to promote a participatory approach to the development and administration of the urban environment, international organizations like the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Centre for Human Settlements (UNCHS) have recently started to implement plans. The Sustainable City Programme (SCP) is one of these tactics; its goal is to give public, commercial, and community sector partners as well as municipal authorities in the city a better capacity for environmental planning and management. The Sustainable Ibadan Project (SIP), located in Ibadan, Nigeria, is one of the cities in the poor world where the program is being implemented. This study looks at the SIP's collaborative approach to managing, developing, and improving Ayeye portable water supply in Ibadan. From the research work, it was revealed that 16.6 % of the respondents indicated that nine (9) application letters for the request of water supply were received by the office of SIP and out of the nine (9) applications received in a month, only 18.5% of the respondents agreed that all the application letters were approved, the remaining 81.5% of the respondents disagreed. All the respondents (100%) agreed that physiochemical survey were needed to decide where facilities are located, 75% of the respondents agreed that water supply are adequately and spatially distributed while the remaining 25% of the respondents disagreed. Also,75% of the respondents agreed that water facility are adequately distributed, water supply are adequately maintained and regularly flushing of the water facility by geologist, community participation in water management and regular visitation of the SIP staff to the project site were highly needed. Moreover, 91.8% of the respondents agreed they have access to water facility when they are in need of it and the remaining 8.2% of the respondents disagreed, 52.6% of the respondents said they were satisfied with the conditoin of the facility and the remaining 47.4% of the respondents disagreed. Finally, 92.7% of the respondents agreed that the number of the water facilities are enough for their area and the remaining 7.3% of the respondents disagreed. Conclusively, it was revealed that regular flushing of the water facility by geologist is highly needed and community participation cannot be rule-out in maintaining the effective water facility and constant visitation of SIP staff to the site of the water facility from time to time is highly recommended for good monitoring and evaluation.
