Characterization and Spatial Distribution of Ethno-Cultural Tourism Resources in Kaduna State, Nigeria

Abstract

The paper examined the spatial distribution and characteristics of ethno-cultural tourism resources available in different ethnic communities in Kaduna State, Nigeria. The sampled communities are Ham, Fulani, Hausa, Kagoro, Adara and Gbagyi, field observations were also carried out for holistic resource inventory in the ethnic communities. Documentary data were obtained from desk review method; information on tourism resources available in each ethnic community. The findings of the study reveal that the ethno-cultural resources were characterized into three groups that are made up of archaeological/historical monuments, cultural and festival activities, and artifacts; while the nature-based tourism, resources were also sub-divided into geomorphic and hydrological features. The study recommends that There is the need for private public partnership (PPP) to foster visible ethno-cultural tourism development projects (tourism potential development, provision of social amenities to enhance competitive advantage and enlightenment campaigns), since the local and state Governments (basically in terms of infrastructural developing and policy issue that will providing an enabling environment for tourism projects to strive) cannot do all or meet all the yearnings of the people.

Application of Artificial Intelligence-Based Sensor Technology in the Recommendation Model of Cultural Tourism Resources

“…For this research question, Ibrahim and Adamu reviewed the spatial distribution and characteristics of national cultural tourism resources in Dounana, Nigeria [8]. The MoVR system 4 proposed by Yusuf et al used 60GHz millimeter wave to realize wireless transmission between the rendering host and the display helmet in the separated VR system [9].…”

“…On this basis, referring to the description and calculation of the indicators of Table 1, according to the corresponding standards and methods, the score of C i is determined, and the results are represented by A i ði = 1, 2,⋯,nÞ. In order to simplify the calculation, it is considered that as long as the measured value of u i is within the standard section of the score corresponding to a certain score, the membership degree between this interval is 1, and the partition degree of other intervals is 0, so the score of u i, that is, a score value on this scoring standard section (7) Take B i ði = 1, 2,⋯,W m Þ as the corresponding weight value, and establish an equity set 8) Prior to progressive, the weight value of each evaluation index and the score value are submitted to the following empowerment and multi-index evaluation model, and finally derive the value of an ecological tourism resource evaluation value…”

Determining the Concentration Level of Air Pollutants Related to Road Traffic in Kano Metropolis

“…Thermal comfort affects perception of the environment, so microclimate conditions can be decisive for the success or failure of outdoor urban spaces and the activities held in them. The knowledge on perceptions of microclimate in outdoor space can serve as a basis for urban spatial design (Ibrahim, 2019; Ibrahim and Abdulkadir, 2019; USEPA, 2020; Ibrahim and Adamu, 2020).…”

Development and Mode Innovation of Cultural Tourism Resource based on Industrial Integration

“…Ibrahim AH et al studied and analyzed the spatial distribution and characteristics of ethnic CTR in different ethnic communities. According to the field survey, the national cultural resources were divided into three categories, which were composed of historical relics, cultural and festival activities, and handicrafts [12]. Lin L et al discussed the blurring of rural and urban boundaries in cultural heritage tourism.…”
