dc.description.abstractThis work analyzed the influence which non — economic tool of political patronage and the strictly economic factors of Retail Location Decisions (RLD) exerted in the spatial distribution of Fuel Retail Outlets (FROs) in lbadan metropolis. Multistage and simple random sampling techniques were utilized to obtain information from 254 respondents who are owners/ managers of the studied FROs. A Logistic Regression Model (LRM) examined the relationship between dichotomous dependent variable [compliance of sited FROs in the metropolis to the existing Town Planning Authority Rules (TPR)] and the different independent explanatory variables (cost of landed property, haulage cost, business sustainability and non-economic factor of political patronage). Findings indicated that the predictor as a set truly differentiated between those who complied with TPR and those who did not (Chi-Square = 225.041, P < 05 with df =4). The prediction rate showed that there was 93.5% rate of compliance to the TPR. The Wald criterion demonstrated that cost of landed property (p=.000) and haulage/transport cost (p=.000) both made significant contributions to the prediction (compliance). On the other hand. political patronage (p=.550) and business sustainabi7ity consideration (p=.750) were not significant predictors. The study advocated the utilization of Geographical Information System (GIS) in the planning of urban development for equitable allotment of land use to aid in the achievement of competitive business environment and sustainable urban land use management
