Abstract

. The estate surveyors and valuers strongly believe that accessibility has strong effects on property values but without justifiable empirical technique to prove their assertion. The paper exam network of roads in lkeja with the aim to empirically determine its accessibility and connectivity. The graph of the road network of the study area was derived from its street a graph theoretic qualitative technique adopted to determine the levels of accessibility and connectivity, while correlation and analysis of variance techniques were used to prove the relationship between the variables.The research finds empirical way of determining accessibility, and recommends the application of the finding to estate valuers in proving accessibility which they hitherto decide intuitively in relation to property values.
