ASSESSING THE SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS OF TELECOMMUNICATION MASTS IN MINNA
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Everyday life is dependent on telecommunication and as population increases so the need to cover more area for effective coverage thus the need for more telecommunication infrastructure to take advantage of the benefit attached to it. The study examined the spatial distribution of telecommunication mast and its environmental effects. Both primary and secondary data were collected from Minna. The GPS receiver was used to collect the coordinates of the mast location. A total of 60 were taken and identified within the metropolis. A total 70 copies of questionnaire were administered purposively and 30 were retrieved for analysis. Distances were marked at 5m, 10m, 15m and 20m away from the masts to capture the varying spread of effects from the respondents. Results shows that the masts are clustered with NNR of 0.612568, critical value of
