Abstract:
Home-based enterprises (HBEs), which involve the use of one\'s residence for commercial activities, have become a prominent research focus in the fields of entrepreneurship, sustainability, and environmental management. Despite this, the lack of data impairs the ability to accurately evaluate the economic merits of this rapidly growing business model relative to its environmental effects. This article, detailing data on the demographic features of HBE operators in Ikot-Ekpene, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, contributes to ongoing data mining efforts towards realistic framing of HBEs. The current data represent HBEs from five Ikot-Ekpene neighborhoods: Uruk-Uso, Ifuho, G.R.A, Ibiakpan Akanawan, and Ikot Ekpene Urban. The target population of the survey included operators of HBEs and residents. A total of 400 questionnaires were issued through systematic random sampling across the five neighborhoods. The entire sample yielded 330 valid responses, which underwent a descriptive statistical analysis, compiled, and presented in tables and bar charts. Analysis of the data provided insight into the rating of the economic relevance of HBEs in relation to their associated environmental impacts. These data provide helpful insights for researchers and policymakers involved in regulating and controlling activities in the urban sphere. They also serve as a reference point for more rigorous studies on environmental management and urban informality in cities.
摘要:
家族企业(HBEs),其中涉及将一个人的住所用于商业活动,已经成为创业领域的一个突出的研究热点,可持续性和环境管理。尽管如此,数据的缺乏削弱了准确评估这种快速增长的商业模式相对于其环境影响的经济价值的能力。这篇文章,详细说明Ikot-EkpeneHBE运营商的人口统计特征数据,AkwaIbomState,尼日利亚,有助于正在进行的数据挖掘工作,以实现HBE的现实框架。当前数据代表来自五个Ikot-Ekpene社区的HBEs:Uruk-Uso,Ifuho,G.R.A,IbiakpanAkanawan,和IkotEkpeneUrban。调查的目标人群包括HBEs的经营者和居民。通过对五个社区进行系统随机抽样,共发放了400份问卷。整个样本产生了330个有效响应,进行了描述性统计分析,编译,并以表格和条形图显示。对数据的分析提供了对HBEs与其相关环境影响的经济相关性评级的见解。这些数据为参与城市领域监管和控制活动的研究人员和政策制定者提供了有益的见解。它们还可以作为对城市环境管理和城市非正式性进行更严格研究的参考点。
