Abstract

This study focuses on explaining and understanding the physical factors which reinforced housing quality in urban communities in Ibadan Nigeria. It explained the different physical variables which prefigure housing quality. The study used a conceptual model which recognised nineteen building components consisting of special design features, safety features, building types, buildings orientation, buildings ages, wastes disposal methods and building forms among others. For the questionnaire survey, 985 (20%) respondents out of a total of 4,922 respondents in five randomly selected urban communities in Ibadan were systematically sampled. The information obtained from the survey revealed residents levels of perception of housing quality with their urban communities, which were analysed using Correlation and Relative Important Index. The significant levels of association were determined at either 0.05 or 0.01 probability levels. The results showed significant pearson’s correlation (r) among pairs of the twenty (20) identified relevant housing variables. The results suggested that these factors are stronger determinant of residents’ perception of housing quality. Consequently, closer consideration should be paid to this factor in the design and development of not only existing urban communities but also in the conceptualisation of new ones.

Abstract

Land uses involve important economic and environmental implications for policy issues. To monitor the trend in land use in tertiary institution, statistics on land use overtime must be developed. The study investigated the various uses of land in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU); determine their size base on an area of land covered, and determine the major land uses in OAU to inform planners on the basic tool for institutional physical development and insight for enhancing planning. The Google earth pro and OAU base map were subsequently used to enhance visual interpretation and aid the identification and mapping of the various land use in the study area. Findings from the study show that the total landed area is 5,609 hectares. The undeveloped area constitutes more than half of the total landed area with 3382 hectares (60 %). A total of 1,216 hectares of land was set aside for agriculture purposes and research, the major land uses is residential with 456.74 hectares (45.18%); institutional uses had 257.02 hectares (25.42%); other uses had 115.97 hectares (11.47%); water bodies had 83.5 hectares (8.26%); transportation had 56.33 hectares (5.57%); commercial had 38.36 hectares (3.79%); and Recreation had 3.08 hectares (0.31 %), the least proportion of land use. The study concluded that land use should be monitored, regulated, and controlled by the various relevant planning and monitoring agencies of the university.
