Abstract

The paper examined the satisfaction level of residents in public housing estates in Calabar, Cross River State Nigeria. The variables for establishing the satisfaction level were broadly categorized into three (3); housing location, physical facilities and environmental factors. However, five (5) public residential estates were selected for data collection. Data were elicited using 100 copies of questionnaire. Questionnaire were given to household heads and all were returned and used for analysis. Analysis were carried out using frequencies and relative satisfaction index (RSI). With RSI, the satisfaction level of the residents with the housing area was determined. Furthermore, a five point likert scale was adopted in collecting data from residents within the housing area. Findings revealed that the residents of public housing estates were not completely satisfied with the housing environments. For instance, it was shown that the residents were fairly satisfied with the housing location. Similar results were obtained on both the environmental and physical facilities. Variables such as proximity to service, waste disposal/management, water supply among others were observed to influence the level of satisfaction of residents with the housing area. It was also observed that facilities and amenities were drastically deteriorating within public residential estates and the aesthetic quality of the housing environment is facing serious distortion. Based on these observations, it was suggested that facilities and amenities that go along to making housing environments habitable and conducive be provided and deteriorating facilities be upgraded. There should also be regular renewal of the housing environments in public estates to avoid deterioration and dilapidation of structures within the housing environment. Keywords: Housing environment, housing location, level of satisfaction, physical facilities, residential housing.

尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔市公共住宅小区居民住房满意度调查

本文调查了尼日利亚克罗斯河州卡拉巴尔市公共住房居民的满意度。建立满意度水平的变量大致分为三(3);住房位置、物理设施和环境因素。然而，我们选择了五(5)个公共住宅小区进行数据收集。使用100份问卷收集数据。向户主发放调查问卷，全部回收用于分析。使用频率和相对满意度指数(RSI)进行分析。通过RSI来确定居民对住房面积的满意度。此外，在收集居住区内居民的数据时，采用五点李克特量表。调查结果显示，公屋居民对房屋环境并不完全满意。例如，调查显示，居民对住房位置相当满意。在环境和物理设施上也得到了类似的结果。观察到，诸如服务远近、废物处理/管理、供水等变量会影响居民对住房面积的满意度。报告还指出，公共住宅小区内的设施和康乐设施急剧恶化，住宅环境的审美质量也面临严重扭曲。根据这些观察结果，建议提供使住房环境适宜居住和有利于居住的设施和便利设施，并对日益恶化的设施进行升级。亦应定期更新公共屋苑的房屋环境，以避免房屋环境内的构筑物老化和残破。关键词:居住环境，居住区位，满意度，物理设施，住宅。

期刊介绍： Journal of Social Sciences and Management Studies (ISSN: 2957-8795) is a peer reviewed journal focuses on integrating theory, research and practice in the area of management and social sciences. The journal discusses the distinctive disciplinary practices within the sciences of the management and social field and examines examples of these practices. In order to define and exemplify disciplinarity, the journal fosters dialogue ranging from the broad and speculative to the microcosmic and empirical. In considering the varied interdisciplinary, trans-disciplinary or multidisciplinary work across and between the social, natural and applied sciences, the journal showcases interdisciplinary practices in action. The focus of papers ranges from the finely grained and empirical, to wide-ranging multi-disciplinary and transdisciplinary practices, to perspectives on knowledge and method.
