Abstract: The study identified the causes and environmental problems of petrol filling stations found in residential domain of some developing nations. The study was a survey research in which data was obtained through a 6 items questionnaire on population of 228 respondents randomly sampled from the residential Neighbourhoods of Port Harcourt city local government. The data analysis was computed using Mean and Standard Deviation on a 5- point likert scale. Findings of the study reveal among others that the main causes for locating petrol filling station in residential domain of Port Harcourt city are high population, outdated and inefficient urban planning practices, and non-compliance to physical development control regulation, poor economic policies and corruption /ignorance, among others.
