“…The effect is the growth of neighbourhoods with no control leading to an unorthodox development of the area. Settlement in the Obala satellite town occurs in an organic pattern type (Novitasaril et al, 2016), depicting a settlement of life and natural forms which attaches importance to the process rather than the product. Organic settlement patterns are those that develop according to cultural and social values in their society and usually develop over time without planning.…”

Satelisation has become an intermittent phenomenon in sub-Saharan African cities in their quest for development. This article posits that the metamorphosis of Obala Sud-Division has been activated by the Yaounde metropolis. The paper divulges that spatial expansion and development of the Obala satellite town is ill-advisedly more unplanned than planned. A multi-spectral Landsat satellite imagery of 1987, 2004 and 2020 were used to determine the spatial expansion of the town over a period of 33 years. Some 116 questionnaires were administered to households to determine the outcome of expansion to the town. Field observation and interview sessions were done to have information on the proliferation of socio-economic activities to the expansion of the town. An in-depth secondary data collection was done to gather information on the rate of population growth in Obala. The data was processed to generate maps through the ArcGIS 10.4 and MapInfo soft wares and tables through SPSS 17 for results and analyses. Results from findings divulge that there is a 1.02% annual increase in the built-up area of Obala emanating from 7.01% in 1984 to 9.19 in 2004 and 16.31% in 2020. This as well has been triggered by a population upsurge of 68,255 inhabitants in 1987 to 78,929 in 2005 and 133,014 inhabitants in 2020. Infrastructural growth in the area has improved as health and educational facilities are present. The areas proximity to the Yaounde metropolis has paved way for commuting owing to available and cheap land acquisition. Social and economic developmental imprints have transformed the area which unfortunately is experiencing anarchical growth. This paper therefore recommends that stringent control and planning be implemented as lessons to other Sub-Saharan emergent satellite towns.

“…The studied neighborhoods fall into three types: organic, planned, and notified slums. Organic neighborhoods result from uncontrolled expansion based on resident preferences, while planned neighborhoods follow default space order principles (Novitasari et al, 2021). Notified slums are specific neighborhoods identified by urban local bodies, with 111 such slums in Vijayawada (Lakshmi & Ramamurthy, 2019).…”

Domestic water consumption accounts for a large share of urban water demand. The present study discusses a study on domestic water consumption in ten different neighborhoods in Vijayawada, India. The study examines the relationship between per capita water consumption and various socio-economic, physical, and supply-related variables. The study conducted a primary survey of 117 households to collect data on water consumption and related factors. Multiple regression analysis was used to identify the significant determinants of per capita water consumption. The study found that supply continuity, household size, household income, building height, building age, and annual water charges significantly affect per capita water consumption in the studied neighborhoods. The study also found that different types of neighborhoods have different per capita water consumption levels and determinants. The study results assist urban planners and local bodies in systematically managing water demands through spatial and policy solutions. The study identifies that urban planners and local bodies can manage water demands through effective spatial and policy solutions.
