Abstract | The study examined the spatial structure of housing quality in Ilorin with a view to discovering the pattern of housing facilities in the city. Data were collected from the 20 wards of the city using simple random sampling. A total of 440 questionnaires were administered in the area. Factor Analytic technique was then used to analyse the data collected which resulted in the extraction of 5 structural components of housing quality in the study area. These are quality of basic facilities; energy and ownership; material quality; water quality and utility factors. The resulting factor scores were then mapped on the study area to depict the structural pattern of the identified factors. The results of the study show that the structural pattern will be relevant in urban renewal efforts for the city. |
