The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationships of urbanization dynamics and incidences of flood disaster in Gombe
metropolis, Nigeria. In this research work, the survey research design was used to obtain data from the field. Stratified
sampling technique was adopted in determining the study sample which consisted of 250 households (i.e. 13% of the
population). 250 questionnaires were administered to household heads in the study area, 237 questionnaires were retrieved
and used for analysis. Spearman’s rank correlation and multiple linear regression analysis were used to examine the
relationships between flood disaster and urbanization dynamics. The study showed that urbanization dynamics is the major
factor responsible for flood in Gombe metropolis (r = 0.805, P = 0.000). It was recommended among others, that the town
planners and property developers, supported by the legislative and executive powers, should direct the urban development
and intervene in the urbanization process towards an ecological sustainability.
