Abstract.
Conscious of the importance of inland waterways navigation and transport, the federal
government of Nigeria has continually made efforts to ensure navigability along the
Niger and Benue rivers since 1954. Conversant with the importance of traffic in ports and
the general circulation problems that arise in facilities with multiple and complex
circulation systems the research shall focus on exploration of circulation styles in ports.
In the light of this task, the research work aims at finding out the problem of traffic flow
pattern in ports through constructive assessment of the various planning configuration in
ports thus proffering a resultant planning system or configuration if prompted by the
research findings. To achieve this research goal, various studies are intended ranging
from studies on primary sources of data to secondary sources of data and shall be further
reinforced by conditional surveys of existing ports.
The proposed inland waterways port lokoja shall constitute the forum for the architectural
representation of the research which aspires to differ from the pristine styles of planning
in a bid to establish better efficiency in planning not only for ports but for all facilities
that integrate a complex traffic system. At the end of the research, this work shall
establish various planning forms and redefine a new course in port planning, through a
decentralized facility that segregates the various activity zones and traffic types.
Knowledge that port facilities are principally engineering tasks is not new, thus the
research shall only be limited to the architectural content of ports of which planning
forms a substantial part.
