Résumé
This study examined the inventory of public housing estates, their administration, and the residents’ satisfaction in Abeokuta, Southwestern Nigeria. This is aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of public housing estates’ composition, administration, residents’ perception, and community-based management approaches to maintaining public infrastructure. Quantitative survey research design was employed through the administration of 198 copies of questionnaire using multi-stage sampling. Data collected were analysed using frequency, percentage, and Relative Importance Index (RII). The results of the analysis showed salient factors influencing public housing choices in Abeokuta, focusing on socio economic characteristics and infrastructure. It was established that 51.5% of respondents lived in medium-density housing, indicating its prevalence. Also, 89.9% of the respondents indicated the usage of their buildings for administrative purpose, as majority of the buildings within the selected estates were indicated to have between one to two rooms, offices and shops. The gender distribution of the residents were nearly equal, with 52.5% males. Respondents’ marital status influenced housing preferences, as 65.2% of them were married. Educational attainment was high, with 60.6% being graduates, reflecting a well-educated population. The study also revealed that 87.4% are of Yoruba ethnicity, showing cultural homogeneity. Infrastructure provision, including water and electricity, was critical, though gaps remained in markets and recreational facilities. The findings underscored the significance of government and community involvement in infrastructure management.
