Abstract
An increasing demand for farmland, due to an increase in population, has, by modifying or completely changing local ideas about the land, aided the dispersal of compounds. Other factors that have contributed to settlement disintegration in the Eastern Region are also considered, and an assessment is made of the recent attempts at village integration in Abakaliki Province.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
