“…Hereafter, the possibility of having sufficient agricultural land for farming and provision of food which is a secondary need of man in the nearest future has been threatened by express development of land (Residential and Commercial) which makes the possibility of having sufficient agricultural land in the future a mirage.

“…The interface between the rural and urban areas is gradually phasing out due to rapid urban growth. City periphery is subjected to multiple transformations like, physical, morphological, socio-demographic, cultural, economic, and functional, (Mondal et al, 2021). Dutta (2012) advocated that the peri-urban boundary is forever shifting, followed by extending urban areas engulfing the interface route into the agricultural land threatening the land available for farming and production of foods.…”

The rapid growth of world population and its agglomeration in cities and towns around the world is affecting the longterm outlook for humanity, in such that the process of urban growth and the effect at the peri-urban areas are universal, occurring all over the world. This study aimed at assessing the effects of population increase on the growth of periurban land in Asa local government area, Kwara State. Secondary data, via satellite imageries covering 2000, 2010 and 2021 were mainly used in analyzing the changes that occurred within twenty years. Remote sensing and GIS approaches to satellite imagery processing were adopted using ILWIS and ERDAS IMAGINE 9.2 software to subset the imageries, as well used for classification resampling. The result on built-up area reveals a consistence increase of over 80% between 2000 and 2021. The vegetation cover suffered a serious loss of vegetal land to the tune over 100 hectares due to various degree of development and expansion of the town. The water body also affected with loss in space covered with 80 hectares within the period under study. With a tremendous population increase, the study indicates a high demand for land and vegetal resources, which in turns possess a serious threat to food production. The study concludes that population increase remains the most significant determinant of peri-urban changes with a resultant effect on the wellbeing of peri-urban residents and rural dwellers. It therefore, recommends the adoption and application of strategic physical planning approach in the development of the peri-urban areas.

Transport accessibility and urban-rural connectivity are seen as critical aspects of rural economic development. In the transit network, passenger flow between urban-rural corridors demonstrates directional imbalances and low utilization of scarce resources. Freight transportation, on the other hand, lags due to poor geography, high operating costs, and scattered demand. This paper proposes a new mode of public transit that integrates passenger and freight transport, providing a carrier for logistics while compensating for the low utilization of passenger transport. In this mode, each timetabled round trip is divided into one dedicated passenger trip with high demand and one mixed-flow trip with on-demand requests. A space-time-state network is constructed considering the picking-up time window, loading/unloading service time, and electric bus energy replenishment. A mixed-integer linear programming model is developed to optimize the bus schedule that covers the travel demands and the charging requests with minimized travel costs. A Lagrangian relaxation framework with a dynamic programming algorithm and sub-gradient method is presented for problem-solving. The real-life rural-urban transport instance and a simulated network demonstrate the operation of the new mode and validate the efficiency of the proposed method. The innovative concept and the optimization framework are expected to serve as a reference for public administration to alleviate passenger and freight transportation bottlenecks in the urban-rural context.
