| Abstract: | The regional development potentials of major inland watercourses have thoughtful and positive effect on the destination towns, communities and surroundings, as it activates physical, economic and social changes. The study x-rays the regional development potentials of major towns situated on length-ways of inland watercourse in Rivers State Nigeria. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the regional potentials of the towns, environmental conditions, facilities and challenges confronting it, identified the host communities and access how residents perceived the development. The research method includes in-depth fieldwork, observation, questionnaire, interviews and collation of field data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze data collected for the study. The result of the study shows that towns situated sideways of inland waterways have transportation, recreation, tourism, agriculture and commercial development potentials. However, it was observed that 85.2 % of the residents perceived that the potentials nature deposited can develop such areas with the aid of technical planning. As 8.8 % maintained that adequate spatial development and control will not be achieved through regional potentials while 6.2% opined that the potentials of the region would not develop the areas at all. Also the study identified that lack of physical planning and facilities provisions, nature of environmental terrain, massive migration, underutilized resources and communal conflict/ insecurity are the challenges confronting the regional development of major towns located along inland waterways via potentials. The study recommended that government and the stakeholders must provide an enabling physical planed environment to enhance investment on the regional development possibilities of inland waterways towns and cities and apparent development of these towns will generate positive socio-economic impacts on the destination towns and surrounding communities. |
