Abstract
Introducing rail transit into a region often creates expectations about the impact of the rail project on property values. Information on the impact of rail on property values is often incomplete and limited due to anecdotal evidence, leaving regions planning for rail investments without a firm basis to judge the future impact of such an investment. In addition, this lack of complete information limits the extent to which transit agencies can develop strategies to maximize positive property value impacts. In Nigeria the impact of railway infrastructure on property value has not been investigated. This study examines impact of railway infrastructure on rental value in south western Nigeria. The study compared the level of accessibility of train station, it further examined the factors influencing property value around train station in South Western Nigeria.
The study adopted survey research design. Both primary and secondary data were used for the research study. The primary data used was obtained through the use of questionnaire survey which was administered to residents residing around railways stations in South Western Nigeria. Also, secondary data were gotten from online articles, online journals and published works which focus on railways impact. A total of 100 questionnaire were distributed within a 1km radius of railway stations in South Western Nigeria with 60 respondents in Lagos, 20 respondents from Ibadan and 20 respondents from Abeokuta. Data generated from the study were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics such as regression analysis.
Findings from the study showed that the distance of residence for majority of the respondents is less than 100m. Only few respondents use train service as proximity does not determine the patronage of the station. Findings also revealed that the presence of commercial building in the study area is attributed to the presence of railways passengers and closeness of some commercial building to the rail station.
Study also found that age of building does not increase or decrease the residential rental value in the study area. As the regression analysis indicate no significant relationship between distance from train station and their rental value.
The study recommends the following that the Government should invest in railway transit development so as to improve patronage of trains and their stations Nationwide. The government must collaborate with private sector in developing the train station to standards such as those in developed country. Inter modal access to train stations should be improved particularly for road infrastructure servicing such points across South Western Nigeria.
The study conclude that closeness of residential buildings to train stations across South Western Nigeria has influence on rental value in these areas due to the low level of train service and it’s poor patronage in the country.
