摘要：This paper assessed how the city fabric influences the travel behaviour pattern of Ibadan residents. A total of 271 respondents were sampled. Findings from the chi- square test showed that a significant difference exist in the number of trips made daily by respondents across the different residential neighbourhoods (X 2 =29.00, P = 0.01 <0.05). Most respondents from two suburban neighbourhoods (Apete and Ologuneru) surveyed in the study made between 2 to 4 trips or more before getting to their places of work/business. In a similar vein, ANOVA test results indicated a variation in daily average trip distance made by respondents across the different residential neighbourhoods in the city (F=2.09, P = 0.04 <0.05). Majority of the respondents spent between 21-30minutes on traffic daily while going or coming back from work/business. Some of the measures proposed by the paper that would help in enhancing movement of people within the city especially those living at the suburban areas include: encouraging inter-modal link, reassessment of the existing urban planning laws and expansion of the road networks within the city.
