Abstract

This study assesses the impact of landscape character on human comfort within the context of Ziba Beach Resort, Lagos State. The research explores how specific landscape elements contribute to the overall tourism and recreational experience and how sustainable design can be integrated into resort planning. A structured questionnaire was administered to 196 respondents, and data collected were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods through SPSS software. Descriptive statistics provided insights into the respondents’ demographic profiles and their perceptions of comfort. Inferential statistics, including correlation and regression analyses, were used to examine the relationships between landscape features and levels of comfort. Results indicated a strong positive correlation (r = 0.76, p < 0.01) between landscape character and perceived comfort. Key landscape elements such as water features, open spaces, and tree coverage significantly enhanced users’ recreational experience and were identified as priority features for design consideration. Furthermore, a high level of support (91%) was recorded for the incorporation of sustainable landscape design principles. The findings underscore the importance of landscape design in influencing user satisfaction and offer a framework for integrating environmentally responsible strategies into resort environments to improve comfort and tourism outcomes.
