Datasets on factors influencing the urban environmental quality of intra-urban motor parks across density areas of Lagos metropolis

Abstract

This survey data examined the factors influencing commuters’ perception of environmental quality in the selected intra-urban motor parks of Ibeju Lekki, Ifako Ijaiye and Ikeja local government areas, Lagos State, Nigeria. A survey of 376 commuters was carried out. The purposive sampling technique was used for the survey while the sampling procedure evolved from the identification of the study area to the administration of questionnaire with commuters in the motor parks. Data were analyzed using descriptive (likert scale outputs) and inferential statistical techniques (factor analysis for data reduction and categorization). The datasets can be considered in the transport and environmental policies of Lagos State and Nigeria with a view to engendering a conducive environment in the intra-urban motor parks of Lagos State, Nigeria.
