Facilities management (FM) entails enhancing performance of users in a set environment towards optimising organisational targets. It is about managing user behaviour and includes the desire to provide a pleasant experience for the users of the facility in order to improve their performance. The handling of solid waste in the African urban marketplace environment (MPE) is documented to be a significant problem that needs addressing. Furthermore, the attitudes of the market users have been found to exacerbate this problem. The aim of this research was to identify attitudinal change factors to be incorporated in waste management strategies for the MPE. Research indicates that the key FM component in this facility is the environmental management component particularly the effective management of solid waste. In addition, success or failure of this facility hinges on attitudinal actions of the stakeholders towards waste. Data was collected from observations of four African MPEs and a series of semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. Attitudinal change factors identified in this paper include: waste collection frequency and monitoring of the waste management practices. The study reveals that a deeper understanding of marketplace custom and everyday relationship to market space is essential for enhancing waste management practices in the MPE.

“…Corruption is ingrained in the Nigerian system [57], and this has led to massive looting and diversion of funds that should have gone into infrastructural provision, and/or the funding of the planning authorities to carry out their work. It is not uncommon for the people to pay out of pocket for services that should be ordinarily funded by the government, nor for people in power to undermine the law during land allocations or sell off government properties to their friends, who convert them to uses not provided for in the master plan [58]. Corruption in the planning process deserves to be curtailed and proper development control embarked upon to ensure alignments with plan approvals and building constructions.…”

Sustainable development forms the core of urban planning in contemporary times. Urban planning has been recognised as being central to sustainability because well planned urban centres can be engines of economic prosperity, social well-being and environmental sustainability. Port Harcourt, a major Nigerian city faces many environmental challenges like flooding that impacts achieving sustainable development and which has been linked to urban planning. Urban planners carry out spatial planning but there is a paucity of research that engages with these professionals to gauge their understanding of sustainability. This paper seeks to fill this gap. It draws on qualitative interview data from five urban planners in Port Harcourt city, Nigeria, to explore their understandings of the concept of sustainable development and how they implement this understanding in their day-to-day work. This research reports the urban planners have a solid understanding of sustainability and the role of planning in its achievement. Their understanding centres around longevity and building long lasting human settlements in consideration of future planning decisions. This aligns with current global thinking whereby planning is key to achieving sustainable development. This finding suggests the environmental problems experienced in Port Harcourt are likely due to weak infrastructural base and a failure to implement/enforce planning regulations that aim to promote sustainable development.

“…Pada tahun 1952, Pemerintah Jakarta membuka lahan di Kawasan Bendungan Hilir untuk dijadikan sebagai kawasan permukiman. Perubahan pemanfaatan ruang yang terjadi di lapangan memiliki kemungkinan bertentangan dengan kebijakan yang telah ditetapkan (Ayotamuno, Gobo, & Owei, 2010). Pada kondisi di lapangan, bangunan rumah di Koridor Jalan Bendungan Hilir telah beralih fungsi menjadi pertokoan, perkantoran, dan perbankan sejak tahun 1990-an.…”

Jakarta merupakan kota metropolitan yang memiliki kawasan pusat bisnis, yaitu Kawasan Segitiga Emas Jakarta. Pertumbuhan Kawasan Segitiga Emas Jakarta mempengaruhi kawasan disekitarnya, salah satunya ialah Koridor Jalan Bendungan Hilir. Pada tahun 1952, Pemerintah Jakarta membuka Jalan Bendungan Hilir untuk dijadikan kawasan permukiman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pergeseran kegiatan pemanfaatan ruang terhadap RDTR DKI Jakarta di Koridor Jalan Bendungan Hilir Kota Jakarta Pusat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan ialah analisis deskriptif kuantitatif dan analisis Analytic Hierarchy Proccess (AHP). Hasil yang didapat dalam penelitian ialah Koridor Jalan Bendungan Hilir didominasi oleh pemanfaatan ruang usaha sebesar 83%. Pergeseran pemanfaatan ruang pada tahun 2014-2019 sebesar 3% dari pemanfaatan ruang hunian dan sosial budaya menjadi pemanfaatan ruang usaha. Berdasarkan perhitungan AHP, faktor ketidaksesuain pemanfaatan ruang dengan RDTR disebabkan oleh kurang efektifnya pengendalian pemanfaatan ruang. Sejak diberlakukannya RDTR DKI Jakarta pada tahun 2014, kondisi pemanfaatan ruang di Koridor Jalan Bendungan Hilir sudah dipenuhi oleh pemanfaatan ruang usaha. Pergeseran pemanfaatan ruang yang terjadi di Koridor Jalan Bendungan Hilir perlu diperhatikan karena pemanfaatan ruang hunian dan pemanfaatan ruang usaha memiliki karakteristik yang berbeda. Sehingga, kedua pemanfaatan ruang tersebut membutuhkan perencanaan penataan ruang yang berbeda menyesuaikan dengan karakteristiknya.
