本研究はナイジェリアのイバダンを対象に、建築的な自然基盤ソリューション（NbS）が住民の福祉と生態学的アイデンティティに与える影響を調査した。混合手法を用いて287人の住民にアンケートを実施し、住民はNbSが熱的快適性やストレス軽減に重要と認識する一方、アクセス不平等やガバナンス課題を指摘した。結論として、公平で文化的に配慮したNbSの導入が持続可能な都市開発に寄与することを示した。

This study investigates architectural Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) in Ibadan, Nigeria, using a mixed-methods survey of 287 residents. Residents recognize NbS for thermal comfort and stress reduction but cite unequal access and governance challenges. The paper concludes that equitable, culturally sensitive NbS can enhance urban sustainability and well-being.

👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:The study offers a mixed-methods template for assessing NbS impacts in urban contexts, useful for sustainability researchers.
🏢実務担当者:Urban planners and architects can use findings on preferred NbS types (courtyards, shaded spaces, culturally-responsive design) to inform local projects.
🏛政策担当者:The paper underscores the need for equitable NbS distribution and stronger governance to avoid exacerbating inequalities.
📄 Abstract（原文）
The rapid urbanization of Nigerian cities has put a lot of pressure on the environment such as heat accumulation, flooding, and the continued loss of urban green spaces, which significantly impacts human well-being and cultural identity. Nature-Based Solutions (NbS) are an integrative approach to address these challenges by the integration of natural systems into the built environment. This paper explores the role architectural NbS plays in improving well-being, and ecological identity, within urban cities in Nigeria, with a specific focus on Ibadan. The research uses a descriptive mixed-methods approach and combines a rich literature review with a questionnaire survey administered to 287 residents across eight neighborhoods in Ibadan. The study explored their access to urban nature, perceptions of green spaces, well-being, ecological identity, and attitudes towards NbS. Quantitative data were analysed through descriptive analysis, while qualitative data via thematic analysis. The results indicate that residents recognise NbS as important contributors to thermal comfort, stress reduction, mental restoration, and urban liveability. However, effectively implementating NbS is constrained by challenges such as unequal access across different neighbourhoods, including governance, maintenance and policy-related challenges. Respondents strongly supported integrating greening strategies in buildings and the urban environment such as the integration of courtyards, shaded communal spaces, and culturally-responsive design strategies. It concludes that, when equitably distributed, culturally sensitive and supported by effective governance frameworks, architectural NbS can meaningfully contribute to sustainable urban developments in Ibadan. It emphasises the importance of architectural NbS in enhancing environmental resilience, well-being and ecological identity in Nigerian cities.
