Geospatial Assessment of Housing Quality in Moro, Ife North Central Local Government, Osun State, Nigeria
Generally, housing has not been ranked higher on the scale of priorities for economic spending. So, the state government has to rely on the local authorities to meet the housing standard. Using GIS and remote sensing techniques to assess quality of housing, geospatial assessment was used based on both physical and material criteria. The socio- economic factors, basic utilities, environmental factors, and the basic housing facilities were considered. The topographical maps covering the study area and high resolution Google Earth image were acquired. The spatial reference coordinates of buildings, questionnaires, landmark acquired using handhold Garmin GPS device and GIS and Non-GIS software package method were adopted. The data analyses are based on the sample size taken from the population of the study via the use of questionnaires which were administered in the study area. To achieve the objectives, road network and buildings were digitized with all the responses from the respondents were embedded into the GIS environment showing each result. Most houses were in poor condition with lack of accessibility to infrastructures and poor environment. Areas suggested include improvement on the state of infrastructural facilities in the area. The environmental quality of the environment highly depends on the functionality of the available physical infrastructure. There is much lack of drainage system in the area. The survey revealed that 61% of the area lacks drainage, while 39% seems to have one form of drainage or the other which is either stagnant or flow nowhere in particular. The stakeholders in property investment should enlighten the landlords and tenants on the importance of maintenance and also, the community development efforts and participation should be encouraged. The problem of housing in Nigeria is worrisome. This is because; it is one of the essential needs of living. Local building materials should be exploit to the maximum, so that cost of construction will be reduce drastically.
