Thesis Abstract
The aim of this
research work is to assess the impact of infrastructural development on housing
provision in Uyo local government. The research assesses the various
infrastructures available in the area and it impact on housing provision. To
achieve this aim, research questions were asked. The survey research design was
adopted for the study. The research design deploy was the before and after
design, which enable the researcher to ascertain the rate of housing provision
in the area before and after infrastructural development. The population of
study was made up of both property owners and tenant in the study area. The
researcher used questionnaire, interview and personal observation as methods of
data collection. A sample size of 274 was derived using simple radon sampling
technique. He hypothesis developed was tested using Chi square.it was observed
that the rate of housing provision before infrastructural develop was low.
Also, it has been deduced that there has been an increase in housing provision
due to the availability of basic infrastructures. The data collated was
analyzed based on interpretation and conclusion was arrived.
Thesis Overview
<p>
</p><p><b></b></p>
<p>Infrastructure refers to the<br>fundamental facilities and systems serving a country, city, or area, including<br>the services and facilities necessary for its economy to function (Frank,<br>2003). It typically characterizes technical structures such as housing, roads,<br>bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewers, electrical grids, telecommunications,<br>and so forth, and can be defined as “the physical components of interrelated<br>systems providing commodities and services essential to enable, sustain, or<br>enhance societal living conditions. However, all these coupled together can<br>bring about the provision of good and affordable housing (Nubi, 2003).</p><p>Housing infrastructural provision refers to the bringing into<br>existence of the basic amenities and services which must be in place for a<br>particular activity or pursuit. However, no nation can boast of significant<br>development or an enhanced economy without providing the basic infrastructures<br>for the citizens’ well-being (Otegbulu & Adewunmi, 2008). Provision of<br>adequate infrastructural facilities is not taken for granted in developed<br>countries; however, it remains a major challenge in developing countries,<br>especially in Nigeria (Ajanlekoko, 2001). According to Yomi (2003), the problem<br>of housing provision has become an everyday discussion in all quarters of the<br>public and private services. It has become increasingly glaring that most of<br>the urban population live in dehumanizing housing environment, while those that<br>have access to average housing do so at abnormal and outrageous cost. Different<br>definitions have been ascribed by several authors to the word infrastructure.<br>Infrastructural development is the provision of basic physical and organizational<br>structures needed for the operation of a society like industries, buildings,<br>roads, bridges, health services, governance and so on (Amis & Kumar, 2000).<br>It is the development of enterprise or the products, services and facilities<br>necessary for an economy to function (Sulivan and Sheffrin, 2003).</p><p>Infrastructures can be described generally as the set of<br>interconnected structural elements that provide framework supporting an entire<br>structure of development (Donald, 1974). It is an important term for judging a<br>country, region or state’s and individual</p><h3></h3><br>
