“…The study revealed a strong and significant correlation between neighbourhood quality and physical characteristics that comprised: building types, buildings ages, buildings orientation, building forms, wall colour, window protection, foundation materials, and wall materials among others features. This is in line and tandem with findings by Olotuah, (2016); Olotuah, (2019) and Babalola et al (2019) [36,37].…”

“…The inference of this is that architects and other building professional engaged in the implementation, redevelopment, restructuring and upgrading of existing residential estates, should involve suitable design principles in conceiving neighbourhood that meets users need and level of neighbourhood quality, which is in agreement with study by Babalola et al (2019) and [37,40]. This suggested that more consideration should be given to the aspects that include: physical, design and social characteristics of the neighbourhood in the study area.…”

There are growing concerns for neighbourhood lowliness in public housing development which affect residents’ wellbeing. Three major neighbourhood components that comprise the socio-economic characteristics of the residents, physical and social characteristics of neighbourhoods were identified and assessed for this study. A questionnaire survey was used to acquire primary data. Five, representing 16.7% of estates, were randomly selected from thirty public housing estates in the urban area of Ibadan. Subsequently, using systematic sampling technique, questionnaires were administered to 985 (20%) of households from the total of 4,922 households in the selected estates. Data collected were analysed using percentages, Relative Importance Indices and Multiple Regression Analyses. The results showed that 74.5% were homeowners, while renters, inheritors and government allotters had 22.7 and 2.8%, respectively. The results on the perception of physical characteristics indices (PCI) show that Alalubosa estate had the highest value with 4.23 PCI, while the social characteristics indices (SCI) revealed that Old Bodija estate had the highest value of 4.09 SCI. The results of regression analyses show that PCI and SCI were significant to residents' perception of neighbourhood quality where P-value < 0.00 probability level. The study conﬁrmed the linear relationship and level of signiﬁcance among the three factors. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2020-01-03-03 Full Text: PDF

“…On the determinants of application of research methods in architecture programs, from literature, standard multiple regression (SMREG), which is an extension of correlation is the tool used for exploration of predictive ability of a set of independent variables (i.vs) on one continuous dependent variable (d.v. ); hence identification of the i.vs [19,20]. SMREG according to [7] with these types of variables normally leads to generation of models which normally assist managers in managerial decision-making situations in organizations.…”

Research methodologies (R.Ms) employed in carrying out studies have been found in diverse contexts to influence the outcome. This study examined the determinants of applications of R.Ms in undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Department of Architecture Covenant University Ota, Nigeria. The objectives include analysis of the identified R.Ms attributes and identification of the factors influencing applications of the R.Ms employed in architecture research programs (B.Sc., M.Sc., and M.Phil./Ph.D Degrees) in the University. The methodology adopted for the work is the cross-sectional survey of the 153 final year B.Sc., the M.Sc., and the Ph.D Students using 5-point Likert Scale questionnaire as data collection instruments; and interview of 16 of the students across the levels. Data obtained from the survey; and interview of the students were subjected to descriptive statistics (percentages and frequencies) and inferential statistics (Kruskal-Wallis Test, Linear multiple regression and Crosstabulation). The results showed that Level/Program (.428), Rating of appropriateness of methodology for current or terminal research (.046), Gender (.044), Type of terminal research (.040), Distance of Residence to Department (.023), are the principal five (5) of the 13 predictors of the dependent variable in the study (representing 72.99% of total contribution to the model with R Square of .796).The study recommended commencement of ‘research methodology course’ which used to be in 400 Level Alpha to be moved from 300 Level Omega to 200 Level Alpha and Omega for early higher mastery, and for supervisors to consciously ensure more applications of R.Ms at undergraduate level beginning from 200 Level. Also female students are to apply quantitative RM more than their usual practice even from early part of undergraduate level.
