Abstract
The impression of the society or general public that urban slum dwellers are restrained from seeking relocation to better and more decent housing environment by economic consideration informed this study. It is therefore an exercise embarked upon to either re-affirm this societal conviction or establish a refutation premised on findings from this study. The notorious Ajegunle area in Metropolitan Lagos, having all the characteristics of a slum neighbourhood provides the ideal template for the exercise. The methodology involved the administration of structured questionnaires on residents of the four zones into which the area was partitioned. Sampling was a combination of Random, Quota and Cluster techniques, an approach informed by the peculiarities of the zones. Statistical tools engaged were bar charts, tabular illustrations and simple percentages. The conclusion drawn was that social factor, more than any other factors, including economic elements have profound influence on the observed residential inertia of most Ajegunle residents to relocate, despite the unhealthy housing environment. It is recommended that a comprehensive urban renewal embarked upon by Government will go a long way to dislodge the entrenched social problem and subsequently raised the standard of housing in Ajegunle.
