“…Factors analysis with varimax rotation was used to reduce and regroup the 24 variables into fewer classes. This statistical method is similar to what Hilliard and Baloglu (2008), Reid et al (2020), Popoola et al (2021), andOladehinde et al (2023) used in their studies. Factor analysis in most cases is used to show the calculated underlying components.…”

“…The frequency of worry is rated on a perceived index level called Relative Frequency of Worry Index (RFWI) on the 5-point Likert scale. This statistical method is similar to what Oladehinde et al, (2023) Adeniyi et al, (2022) used in rating environmental problems. This was carried out with the calculation of the Relative Frequent of Worry Index (RFWI) for the identified variables of crime varieties.…”

“…In addition to this, Comrey and Lee (2013) considered loadings above 0.71 to be excellent, 0.63 very good, 0.55 good, 0.45 fair, and 0.32 poor. Previous studies that used factor analysis, for example, Oladehinde (2019), Popoola et al (2021), andOladehinde et al (2023) used a cut-off mark of 0.55. This study, therefore, adopted 0.55, which is considered to be good for the respondents.…”

The study examines fear and feeling of insecurity in Ibadan, Nigeria. Residents and staff of hotels were selected through multistage and purposive sampling respectively. The study discovered that the mean relative frequency worry index (RFWI) among the hotel staff was 2.54, while it was 2.44 among the residents of the host communities. The result showed that theft, fraud, robbery sexual abuse, and burglary were the most frequently worried crime in the hotel industry while robbery, theft, fraud, burglary, and sexual abuse were highly worried among the residents of host communities. Using factor analysis, 82.28% of the total variance which comprises mechanical/personal (42.7%), human (19.5%), economic (11.53%), and environmental factors (8.49%) were the factors influencing fear and feeling of insecurity among hotel staff while human/personal (49.30%), economic (11.26%), mechanical (7.49%), and environmental factor (6.52%), representing 74.5% of the whole variance were the factors among the residents of the host communities. The study concluded that fear and feeling of insecurity is associated with different factors.
