ABSTRACT
Generally, the importance of tourism keeps rising day by day and in all its ramifications, it is of significant importance to the economy, social, and environmental well-being of a country. Tourism is an increasingly important source of income, employment and wealth in many countries and its rapid expansion has been considered as an interesting possibility for sustainable development, including poverty reduction, in Nigeria. Nigeria is a country with very rich tourism potentials which is gradually becoming an essential part of the country‟s economy. The failure or the success of a tourist centre is dependent on its ability to be able to deliver a secure and safe environment for visitors and this is far more important than any other economic activity. Tourism is a human endeavour that can only flourish in a peaceful world. Nevertheless, the tourism industry experiences opposition as kidnapping, unrest, and most recently terrorism. Security issues continue to raise a threat to tourism development and this has caused several setbacks for tourism development within the country and as such security challenges should be evaluated and resolved as much as possible. This study assessed spatial organization for security and safety measures in the design of Gurara tourist centre, Niger State. Descriptive research method was employed for the assessment of this research. The first phase of the research included desk study of relevant literatures or materials on tourism as a whole including security and safety as it applies to it. This phase brought about the deduction of variables as; zoning for security, nature of site boundary, drop off procedure, hard landscaping for security, soft landscaping for security, number of entry points, availability of a tour guide and watch tower. Data was collected with the use of an observation schedule after selecting samples using the convenience non-random sampling procedure. Six tourist centres were selected across the country and the deduced variables were carefully observed across them. These data gotten via observation were analysed through content analysis and the findings showed that a planning for single route entry had the highest level of consideration 90 percent while the level of importance given to a definite site boundary, hard landscaping for security, soft landscaping for security had the least consideration with a percentage level 27.5 percent. A good drop off procedure had a percentage consideration of about 66.6 percent and an ideal zoning showed a percentage consideration of about 50 percent. In general security and safety measures have not been properly adopted in tourism development and most tourism centres have not been well developed and properly planned for thereby making them vulnerable to security threats. The research recommends that for a country as Nigeria yet to reach its full potential in the tourism industry, designing for enhanced security be considered and instilled as an utmost importance in the design of tourist centres by professionals and urges the government to look into the development of potential tourist centres within the country
