Abstract
The study evaluates the level of sustainability performance of professionals in hazard
prone environment of Akwa Ibom State. In Nigeria, over 60-70% of Nigerian population
relies on farming for livelihood. However, the obvious is that developing countries
including Nigeria are lacking in capacity to sustain agricultural production which has
resulted in scarcity of food and extinction of some produce. The worst is that professionals
do not relate current information which would have help improve sustainability
performance in hazard prone environment. The study adopted a survey design method
underpinned by a pragmatic knowledge based approach. A total of 150 copies of
structured questionnaire was purposively sampled among professionals in urban planning,
Architecture, Agronomy, Agricultural Extension and Environmental Health. A descriptive,
Relative Important Index and Kruskal Wallis Test was used in the analysis. Findings reveal
that there is a low performance of sustainable indicators among professionals as
sustainability indicators didn’t have any influence on human settlement in hazard prone
environment. It concluded that the involvement of professionals significantly very low.
Using Kruskal Wallis to test the level of involvement in hazard prone areas, the study
concludes that there is low evident in data to suggest that professionals involve in hazard
prone environment. The study recommends that professionals, stakeholders and
government should develop a strategy that can improve information sharing and
technology in hazard prone communities knowing that vulnerable communities require
information in order to achieve resilient environment.
