dc.description.abstractMost houses in cities are in deteriorating condition. Globally, over a billion people are living in inadequate, overcrowded, unmaintained and poor quality houses.This study, therefore, assessed the maintenance culture of mass housing schemes in Ilorin metropolis, Kwara state, Nigeria, to improve the living condition of houses. The research is quantitative and both primary and secondary data were collected from sixteen (16) mass housing schemes delivered by both public, private as well as public-private partnership in the metropolis. Multistage sampling technique was used and a structured questionnaire was administered to 1125 household heads which constitute 27% of the sample frame. The maintenance level of housing elements, spaces and infrastructure of the estates were collated using Likert scale ratings. Mean Weighted Values (MWV) were computed upon which comparisons were based. The study found that with an average MWV of 3.84, burglary proof had the highest level of maintenance (MWV =4.17) for housing elements, while there were deficiencies in the level of maintenance of plumbing (3.06), ceiling (3.64), painting (3.65), roof (3.65), water pipe (3.69), wall (3.78) and floor (3.82) indicating that there is an urgent need for improvement. In terms of housing spaces, with an average MWV of 3.82, laundry (3.46), toilet (3.67), store (3.68), bathroom (3.79) and kitchen verandah (3.76) all need adequate maintenance. Further, results show that with an average MWV of 3.44, there were deficiencies in the maintenance of infrastructures such as drainage (2.66), waste disposal (2.67), road (2.73), open space (3.02) and water supply (3.22). The study, therefore, recommends among others, that there is a need for urgent attention to be paid to the maintenance of the estates in the metropolis to forestall collapse. Also mass housing schemes maintenance policy should be included in the National Housing policy to ensure the life span of mass housing is prolonged.en_US
