| Abstract | The focus of this study is on the significance of Socio-economic characteristics of residents on intra- urban travel in Ogun State, Nigeria. 1507 households were randomly sampled across the 14 urban centres in the state and information on intra-urban trip generation and 12 socio-economic variables in respect of them were collected. The multiple regression technique was used to establish the influence of socio-economic variables on intra-urban trip generated by households. The number of significant socio-economic determinants of intra-urban trips ranges between 2 and 8, while the proportion of the criterion (trip generation) explained by the predictors (socio-economic variables) ranges between 35.80 an 81.70% across the urban centers. The more developed urban centers have higher number of socio-economic determinants of trip than the less developed ones. On the other hand, the magnitude of criterion explained by the socio-economic variables is higher on the less developed urban centres. At regional setting, 8 out of 12 socio-economic variables namely: Number of workers, Age, Mode of travel, Sex, Occupation, Length of stay, Rent and Income significantly explained 46.10% of variation in criterion. This suggests the need to include variables on socio-economic development of cities in future research on intra-urban travel. |
