Linking Tenure Security and Incremental Housing Development: The case of Peri-Urban Interface of Ibadan, Nigeria
The increasing urbanisation being experienced in countries of Africa exacerbates the current housing needs and tenure insecurity. In Ibadan, Nigeria, the urban populace finds it easier to access land in the informal land market because of the strictness of the formal land market. This results in incremental housing development. Based on the self-help theory, the study examined the contribution of tenure insecurity to the development of incremental housing in peri-urban Ibadan. A cross-sectional research design (relying on quantitative and qualitative data) was employed in the study. A total of 248 household heads were selected from six Local Government Areass of Ibadan and were administered with a structured questionnaire. Ethical protocols were followed, and informed consent was obtained. The study revealed that the majority of the incremental developers were illiterates. Factors that accounted for the incremental development included fear of eviction (which is associated with tenure insecurity), high housing rent and lack a of funds. The study recommended enhancing access to secure land titles, as it has multiplier-effects on housing
