Samuel Babatunde ADEDOTUN, B.Sc., M.URP., Ph.D

Biosketch:
Dr. Adedotun is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Osun State University Osogbo. He is a member of Nigerian Institute of Town Planners and a Professionally Registered Town Planner. He obtained his PhD from the Department of Urban and Regional Planning of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso. He was the examination officer for the department for four academic sessions from 2011/2012 to 2014/2015. He was the Coordinator and Ag. Head of the department for 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 academic sessions.

Research Interests, Achievements/ Specialization:
His research interest is Transportation Planning from the perspectives of Environmental Planning and Management. Transportation planning as a field in Urban and Regional Planning is highly integral for a balanced socio-economic and environmental development within urban and rural areas in Nigeria. Most urban and rural challenges and problems in Nigeria can be traced to deficiency in transport planning and management. While time and cash are wasted in Nigerian urban centres due to inefficient transport system, farm products could not command reasonable prices to farmers. The result is that crops are wasted, while farmers lack incentives to increase cultivation of more crops. Consequently, farming activities become subsistence and cycle of poverty sets in. Transportation planning, therefore, requires effective and efficient planning principles which his works are directed to.

Contributions to knowledge:
He made a few contributions to knowledge in the field of Urban and Regional Planning and other areas of planning such as Environmental Planning and Management and Infrastructural planning and management. He has about thirty publications in both local and international journals. He has also attended various local and international conferences.
These articles reported findings in a rapidly developing economy where such studies had not been adequately reported. These publications also considered different categories of cities in the analysis of urban transportation which makes their conclusion more reliable in policy formulation for urban transportation planning and management.
