Abstract
The parking generating potential of hotels arc studied. A twelve (12)
hours parking habit survey was carried out at the premises of twenty (20)
hotels in Kano metropolis. Relevant inventories of facilities were also taken
at each hotel.
Results obtained were used to formulate mathematical models which
showed that a linear relationship exist between the number of parking stalls
as well as peak parking demand, and the total number of rooms and the area
covered by the hotel.
The Regression models showed that the number of parking stalls is
linearly related to the number of rooms in the hotel. The average number of
parking stalls presently supplied by hotels per room is approximately 0.3204
stalls. The location of hotels was found to be a significant influencing
factor. Hotels located in the central business districts, outskirts of business
district and outside the central business district had intercepts of 6.4652,
7.1583 and 1.5833, respectively.
Similarly, the peak parking demand generated per room is 0.19920
vehicles, with intercepts of 2.3423,6.2324 and 4.01693 for hotels located at
