Abstract
In recognition of the priority given to rural
development, the campaigns for the use of available local
building materials and the emphasis on the culture by
this country, it is the aim of this thesis:
To attempt a resettlement of the displaced people
given them habitation that respect their tradition,
culture and architecture; And to investigate the
existing situation in the settlement of Gude people.
The thesis will also try to appreciate the
unbreakable family and community ties in order to
strengthen their relationship through the physical
planning and arrangement of spaces that will give them
their contemporary culture and nature of their settlement.
To achieve the goal, the proposal adopted the
tradition concept of centralisation communal facilities
and the inclusion of small communal open spaces within
wards and clusters. Also three types of housing prototypes
were proposed in accordance with identified three types
of family structure.
The development of the houses can be stages. Due to
variation in the requirement of the people these should
be subject to alteration by the owner with approval
of the appropriate authority.

Furthermore, these research work will go into
evolving a valid, meaningful and realistic
Architectural proposal for the resettlement of Gude
village. It is hoped this will serve as a model in
the state for future resettlement programmes.
