Abstract

ABSTRACT Over the years, the Nigerian Governments have made several attempts to address the deficit in low-cost housing (LCH) provision via various housing policies but failed. Thus, the need to investigate the encumbrances faced with the LCH policy and proffer pragmatic policy solutions so that low-income earners can gain access to homes in Edo State, Nigeria. A phenomenology type of qualitative research was adopted. To achieve this, 12 face-to-face interviews were conducted, and saturation accomplished. The data was validated via secondary sources, analysed by MAXQDA 2018 and supported with thematic analysis. The study found that the Edo State have admirable housing policy on paper but due to some challenges such as relaxed housing policy implementation, corruption, inadequate fund, ‘act of political will’ among others, implementation has been fruitless. As part of the practical implications, this paper would stir-up policymakers in the formulation of policies.
调查尼日利亚埃多州低成本住房政策规定的定性方法
摘要多年来,尼日利亚政府曾多次尝试通过各种住房政策来解决低成本住房供应不足的问题,但均以失败告终。因此,需要调查LCH政策面临的障碍,并提供务实的政策解决方案,以便低收入者能够在尼日利亚埃多州获得住房。采用了现象学类型的定性研究。为了实现这一目标,进行了12次面对面的访谈,并达到了饱和。数据通过二级来源进行了验证,由MAXQDA 2018进行了分析,并得到了主题分析的支持。研究发现,江户州在纸面上有着令人钦佩的住房政策,但由于一些挑战,如住房政策实施放松、腐败、资金不足、“政治意愿行为”等,实施一直没有结果。作为实际意义的一部分,本文将激励政策制定者制定政策。

期刊介绍: Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
