Relationship between Road Distance Accessibility and Functional Index of Facility Occurrence in Lagos Island, Nigeria
Abstract
The central aim of this paper is to find out the relationship between road distance accessibility and functional index of facility occurrence in Lagos Island, Nigeria. In particular it seeks to find out areas that have below or above average level of occurrence of facilities relative to the level of accessibility. Using both simple regression analysis and Pearson‟s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, it was found that no strong relationship between road distance accessibility and occurrence of facilities could be established (i.e. r = -0.14). Based on the findings, recommendations that would enhance equitable transport development in Lagos Island were proffered.
