*4.4.1 Territoriality of the GCs*

The result of this study (see **Table 9**) showed that, as regards the maintenance of the GCs in the study areas ALGRA appears to be the best maintained, this is indicated by an index of 4.8 while NBS, on the other hand, appears to be the least maintained with an index of 3.0. This result indicated that, but for pockets of areas in the neighbourhoods that are not well maintained, there appears to be a generally conscious effort at maintaining the GCs. **Figure 16** shows evidence of view of a well-maintained section and in ALGRA.

Also, when discussing the clear definition of territories, ALGRA (again) appears to take top spot given its index of 3.6 while NBS (again) appears to take the rear with a value of 2.2. However, when it comes to elements used to define those territories, Agodi GRA seems to take the lead with a value of 4.0 while NBS seem to experience a near-total absence of elements to define territories as predicted with an index of 1.0 (see **Table 9**). Considering security at the entrance to the GCs, ALGRA seems to do a lot better than other GCs with an excellent index of 5.0; this implies
