摘要：This study examines strategies for integrating begging issues into planning in Local Government Authorities with emphasis on the process, problems and areas for integration. A number of issues are discussed in relation to the impact of begging and the role of the central and local government authorities in addressing the problem of street begging at the council level. The paper is based on a literature review and analysis of secondary data. The findings show that the filtering of plans from the lower to higher levels of Local Government Authorities is a major constraint in integrating begging into the Local Government Authorities planning and budgeting. It is recommended that Local Government Authorities and the central government should design strategies to address the problem of begging. These should include socio-economic, physical planning control, religious control and legal control strategies.
