The significance of neighbourhood in hosting a group of dwellings units and possessing
adequate communal facilities could not be overemphasized in the study of people and place
relationships. There are two main objectives of this study: (i) to study the neighbourhood’s
associated challenges through the size, growth, and land use distribution, and (ii) to
investigate the perceived inhabitants’ activities pattern within the neighbourhood. The
objectives are explored through a morphological and GIS-based land use analysis of a rural
neighbourhood in South-west, Nigeria. The town is studied in three transformation phases,
dating back to five decades using ArcGIS version 10.3. The 1st phase spanned between the
year 1910 to 1959, while the 2nd and 3rd phases ran through the year 1960 to 1999, and
year 2000 to 2015 respectively. The exploration in this study is to document the diverse
neighbourhood challenges, features, and prospects, which remain uninvestigated in the case
study area for the past years. The first finding revealed that some challenges needed to be
resolved in a bid to meet the residents’ current basic needs. The second finding indicated
that the rural settlements in Nigeria emanated from the residents’ adaptation to the
environmental conditions, cum transformation through human activities. Meanwhile, the
third finding established that the human settlements evolved in connection to the local socioeconomic, recreation and religious virtues of the traditional marketplace (Oja). In
conclusion, human historical and social influences play a significant role in ameliorating
the challenges associated with the spatial developments of the settlements. The implication
of the study becomes vital to the major stakeholders and professionals in the built
environment on the significance of enhancing the sustainable communities in Nigeria.
