Background of the Study
Waste management is a critical component of sustainable urban development, particularly in the real estate sector, where large-scale construction and operations generate significant amounts of waste. Effective waste management practices contribute to environmental protection, resource conservation, and improved living conditions. However, in many developing regions, including Sokoto State, waste management in real estate developments is often suboptimal due to inadequate infrastructure, poor regulatory enforcement, and limited public awareness.
Real estate developments in Sokoto State, including residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties, are increasing to meet the demands of urbanization. However, the growth of this sector has led to environmental concerns, particularly regarding construction waste, improper disposal practices, and limited recycling efforts. This study investigates current waste management practices in Sokoto State's real estate developments, identifying challenges and opportunities for improvement.
Statement of the Problem
The lack of effective waste management practices in real estate developments in Sokoto State has led to environmental degradation, health risks, and reduced property values. Despite regulations mandating proper waste disposal and management, many real estate projects fail to implement sustainable practices. This gap highlights the need for a comprehensive assessment of waste management practices in the sector to develop practical solutions.
