Abstract

This study addresses the critical issue of housing satisfaction, focusing on Ibadan, Nigeria. The aim is to examine the residential housing satisfaction across different age groups and residential densities within Ibadan. Key objectives include identifying factors that influence housing satisfaction and understanding the effect of age on these factors. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed, stratifying Ibadan into five regions, from which fifteen neighborhoods were randomly selected. A systematic random sampling of 1330 properties was administered but 865 properties were retrieved representing 65% of the population, utilizing a structured questionnaire rated on a five-point Likert scale to measure satisfaction across various housing attributes. The findings indicate that location, structural integrity, and design features significantly influence residents’ satisfaction. Accessibility to public transport and proximity to amenities were highly rated, while space and layout received lower satisfaction scores. Structural features such as windows, doors, and maintenance positively impacted satisfaction. The study also found that housing satisfaction varies significantly with age, with the 41-50 age group reporting the highest satisfaction, while those over 60 expressed the lowest satisfaction, often due to a desire to relocate closer to family or traditional communities. The study concludes that to enhance housing satisfaction, particularly among the elderly, there is a need to rehabilitate existing housing and improve infrastructure. Recommendations include targeted renovations for aging populations and strategic urban planning that integrates sustainable practices and access to essential services. Also, new residential designs should incorporate the future aged needs. These measures are crucial for fostering improved residential satisfaction and overall quality of life in urban settings.
