“…Public facilities satisfy specific individual or community needs which is includes of safety and security, communication, recreation, sport, education, health, public administration, religious, cultural, and social. Thus, one example of public facility is a petrol pump station (PPS) where sold a fuel such as petrol, kerosene, and diesel [2].…”

The number of vehicles on the road today is increasing due to rapid urbanisation, which necessitates increased fuel consumption. As a result, a Petrol Pump Station (PPS) is an important location that serves people in need of fuel. This study evaluates these PPS within the Batu Pahat District with the goals of determining the existence of PPS distribution along the main road from Ayer Hitam to Batu Pahat, Johor, with a focus on Jalan Batu Pahat and Jalan Kluang, using a map and digitising in GIS software. The study also aims to use the Network Analysis method to analyse the localization of the existence of PPS in the study area. The study used Quantum GIS (QGIS) as an open-source application. Field surveys were used to collect data for the study, and the coordination for each PPS was acquired using a handled Global Positioning System (GPS) device, as well as other information such as the type of company, the number of pumps, the type of fuel, and the access facility provided. Maps and tables were used to present the results. The study’s findings are then expected to aid authorities and the community in the study area in planning to locate and identify PPS based on their proximity to PPS.

“…While some studies on the indiscriminate location of PFS in the state have received some attention in the research community (Olapeju, 2017;Ogunyemi et al, 2017;Okubena & Fayomi, 2018;Adedeji et al, 2022), it is concerning that the number of academic publications on the subject is not proportionate to the magnitude of the problem in Ogun State, particularly in Ota,. It is on this premise that this examines the geographical distribution, locational analysis, and conformity of PFS to planning standards in Ota, the industrial hub of the State…”

Following the observation of the indiscriminate location of petrol filling stations, this study analyzes the location pattern and conformity of the PFS to planning standards in Ota, Ogun State. A survey of petrol filling stations in Ota was conducted to achieve the twin purposes of taking inventory and documenting their geographic coordinates. A nearest neighbour analysis was used to compute the nearest neighbor index (NNI), the Z-score, and the probability (p) value in order to determine the pattern of the distributions. Buffer and proximity analysis was done in Arcmap to analyze the conformity of PFS to the planning standard. The findings revealed that there are 50 PFS located along the 15 roads in the study area, of which 72% are owned by independent marketers, 18% are owned by major marketers, and 10% are owned by the NNPC. The spatial analysis of petrol filing stations indicates that PFS were more concentrated on the major roads, in the transitional residential zones, and in the Central Business Districts (CBD). With a nearest neighbor index (Rn) value of 0.405547 (less than 1), a Z-value of -10.171697 (less than − 1.96), and a p value of 0.00000, the distributional pattern of PFS revealed that the pattern was clustering. The study finds only 16% complied with the 400-meter distance to the next filling station; more than two-thirds (78%) of the petrol filling stations did not meet the 15-meter setback requirement; and only 10% met the 50-meter distance requirement to residential buildings. Among other recommendations, the study suggests the need for more proactiveness and effectiveness from the regulatory agencies.

“…In this context, petrol stations present health, and safety concerns, especially the potential for fires owing to the toxicity and flammability of the liquid and gaseous products. Following this, several other studies have assessed the relationship between the location of petrol stations and existing policies, e.g., [15]- [16], and their impacts on the environment [4]. Other authors like [17] and [18], have opined that exposure to diesel, petroleum fumes and fuel components such as benzene and formaldehyde contribute to cancers, acute myeloid leukemia and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia.…”

No other form of technological development had negatively skewed from existing regulations as the siting of petrol filing stations. An audit of the degree to which their operators repeatedly violate the rules regulating their location and operations may encourage the legislature to pass laws that can ensure a balance between the economy and the environment. This study helps to fill this gap, by analyzing the degree to which the siting of local filling stations meets standard norms, taking Cameroon's district municipalities of Douala as an example. In order to achieve this goal, the current regulations structuring the filling station locations were carefully reviewed. Subsequently, key compliance factors were identified, operationalized, and an audit checklist was developed. Other data collection tools included a structured questionnaire designed to capture the views of neighboring communities on the possible risks to their health, land, and therefore to the environment presented by the station, and a global positioning system receiver for the collection of spatially explicit data. The nearest neighbourhood Index, (Rn) in ArcGIS10.3.1 environment was used to assess the distribution pattern of the stations. Questionnaire data was analysed using SPSS20.0. It is revealed that the distribution pattern of the 152 stations surveyed is mostly random in Douala I (Rn = 0.8573), Douala III (Rn = 0.9879), Douala IV (Rn = 0.6984), and, dispersed in Douala II (Rn = 1.7837) and Douala V (Rn = 1.5764) district municipalities. While most of them, 94 (61.84%) were within the minimum 500 m radius from one another as specified by laws, 99.34% of them didn't conform with the recommended minimum distance of 7m from the centre of a major road, and the 400m radius from residential areas. The results suggest that the siting of petrol stations in the city neglect the hazards accompanying them. The database created in this study could provide a platform to policy makers for appropriate actions.
