文摘

Neighbourhood satisfaction in nine public housing estates was investigated using data derived from household surveys involving 517 respondents in urban areas of Ogun State, Nigeria. The study was conducted between December 2009 and February 2010; and the data were derived using structured questionnaire and subjected to descriptive statistical, factor and multivariate regression analyses. The result reveals that the respondents were generally dissatisfied with neighbourhood environment in the housing estates; and the main source of dissatisfaction was poor access to services and infrastructure. Satisfaction with services and infrastructure; socio-economic environment; security; and levels of noise and privacy in the housing estates as well as marital, employment and tenure status of the respondents emerged as the predictors of neighbourhood satisfaction. Therefore, to improve neighbourhood satisfaction and the quality of life residents in public housing; urban planners, housing developers and managers must engage in innovative planning, design and management strategies that ensure residents’ satisfaction with these key neighbourhood features.
