      abstract = {The study analysed the influence of tourism infrastructure  on community transformation in Southwest Nigeria. One most  prominent tourism destination was purposively selected from  each state of six; Oyo - Agodi Gardens, Ogun - Olumo Rock,  Osun - Osun Osogbo Groove, Ondo - Idanre Hills, Ekiti –  Ikogosi Warm Springs, and Lagos - National Theatre. Data  were collected with the aid of interview guided  questionnaire. Information on distribution of  Infrastructure capitals and community transformation across  the states in Southwest Nigeria were collected from  respondents. Variables were measured with the use of  4-point scale on odd number continuum from 0 to 5 (putting  the minimum at 0, maximum 5) (sustainably transforming (ST)  - 5, fairly sustainably transforming (FST) - 3, minimally  sustainably transforming (MST) - 1, and not (NST)  sustainably transforming - 0). Systematic random sampling  technique (with interval of 20) was employed to select 30  residents from each destination, giving a total of 180  respondents. The results revealed social factors had  Cronbach’s Alpha values of social (0.799) with variance  10.310%; political factors (0.811) with variance 9.237%;  natural factors (0.781) with variance 9.103%; economic  factors (.614) with variance 10.117%; physical factors  (.749) with variance 10.312%; human factors (0.721) with  variance 10.003%; and cultural factor (0.611) with variance  explained as 9.041%. The results further revealed that  social capital (β = 0.164; p<0.05); physical (β = 0.174;  p<0.05); human (β=0.184; p>0.05); and natural capital  (β=0.159; p<0.05) showed significance with community  transformation. However, economic capital (β=0.113;  p>0.05); political factors (β=0.181; p>0.05); and cultural  factor (β=0.130; p>0.05) showed no significant prediction  but all had t values greater than 1. Infrastructure  capitals (social, physical, and natural) had significant  relationship with community transformation. It is  recommended that provision of infrastructure capital should  be commensurable across board to give a worthwhile  development, since all the capitals were significant to  community transformation.},
