Abstract

Gender disparity (GD) significantly impacts housing development, especially in developing countries like Nigeria, where socioeconomic and cultural barriers constrain equitable housing access. This study investigates the features and effects of GD on housing development in Iwo Central Local Government Area, Osun State, Nigeria. Using a mixed-method approach, data were collected from 328 respondents through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including indices and ANOVA. Key findings highlight societal mindsets as the most influential feature of GD, followed by lack of bodily autonomy and employment equality, with respective relative significance indices (RSIs) of 4.23, 4.06, and 4.00. Denied access to housing and homelessness emerged as the most critical effects of GD, with effects indices (EGDIs) of 4.36 and 4.31. Regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between GD characteristics and housing development (F = 99.964, p = 0.04), emphasizing the pervasive impact of GD on housing equity. The study concludes that GD restricts women's access to adequate housing, perpetuating socioeconomic inequalities. Recommendations include promoting gender-responsive housing policies, enhancing women's access to affordable housing finance, and integrating gender equity into urban planning and housing design. Addressing GD is crucial for fostering inclusive, equitable, and sustainable housing development in Nigeria.

Abstract

The significance of materials choice and their relationships to structural elements, the functionality of structure, aesthetic value, economic performance, and human health cannot be overemphasized in building development. This study carried out a critical review of the literature on several factors, including structural integrity, cost- effectiveness, aesthetic appeal, health considerations, and functional requirements, in the choice of materials for buildings and other structural developments. This study identified some building materials used to achieve structural stability and discourse sustainable and smart building materials. This study used primary data from physical observations and secondary data from relevant literature. This study observed that a well-designed and functional building enhances productivity, satisfaction, and overall user experience. The study also found that smart materials, such as programmable glass, self-healing concrete, and energy-generating facades, enhance functionality by incorporating features such as energy efficiency, improved thermal comfort, and interactive user experiences. The choice of construction materials is closely intertwined with the functionality of the structure, esthetic value, economic performance, and other factors. The study concludes that different materials possess specific properties that directly impact the performance, human health, and functionality of various building elements. The study recommends that in deciding on the choice of materials to be used for building development, hasty decisions should be avoided regarding buildings and the spaces that they occupy.
