Abstract
Housing is an important part of human life. The quality and condition of dwelling needs to meet the requirements postulated for adequate living environment. Housing at the urban traditional core in developing countries are experiencing neglect. This paper examines housing quality and condition in the core areas of Ilaro and the factors responsible for it. The research deploys the use of both primary and secondary sources of data. In the area of primary data, a well-structured 170 questionnaires were designed and administered to elicit data on socioeconomic, housing characteristics and challenges. The head of household was used as the unit of analysis. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents on the basis of one in every five inhabitable building. Descriptive and inferential statistics are employed to analyse the data collected from field survey. Findings from the Principal Component Analysis PCA, result indicate that majority of households in the study areas lack basic amenities like drainages, electricity that make housing conducive for living. The implication on both physical and economic approach is eminent as there is need for upgrading programme through rehabilitation/renovation approach and improvement on the existing infrastructure as well as providing new ones. However, the study suggests that there should be public awareness on urban planning related matters to allow the inhabitants understand the importance and benefits of conducive environment. Keywords: Challenges, Housing, Ilaro, Quality, Traditional Areas, Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
