study was based on the Assessment of the Implication of Environmental Degradation
in Afiesere community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta state.
A
sample size of two hundred and fifty (250) was adopted for this study. The
sampling was carried out using the stratified and simple random sampling techniques.
The community was stratified into three (3) strata which represent the number
of quarters in Afiesere. One hundred persons were randomly selected each from
two of the quarters that were found to have the larger population (Okwarho and
Ehe) while fifty persons were randomly selected from the quarter with the
lesser population (Urhie). From each of the stratum, the simple random sampling
technique was adopted by using the ballot method to select the respondents. A
ballot non-replacement method was then used to select the subject for the
study.
