Abstract
Poverty and unemployment are concentrating in the cities due to the urbanization trend. Slums, illegal dwellings and indecent shelters are proliferating as city planners and city managers are overwhelmed by the urbanization trend.Housing in developing nations and poor parts of developed countries continues to be of insufficient quality and quantity to meet increasing demand. It is against this backdrop that the research was perceived with the aim of assessing the residential conditions of Okelele – Adangba community by assessing the infrastructural facilities, housing conditions, sanitary facilities, socio-economic characteristics, environmental conditions and prevalent diseases as well as associated disasters. The methodology employed was systematic random sampling of interval of 5 buildings, amounting into one hundred and nineteen (119) buildings being sampled.
The findings invariably show that the study area, indubitably exhibit evidence of slum that has undeniable impact on the socio-economic activities. However, the regression analysis performed shows that the calculated F value of (22.259) is by far, greater than the F table value of (2.31) at significant level of 0.05 and degrees of freedom (5,94). which shows the dependency of housing satisfaction on some principle factors. The research concluded the findings with few recommendations like slum upgrading and economic rejuvenation, provision of infrastructure master plan, as well as joint environmental management plan as the way forward.
