“…Galster and Hesser [46] define housing satisfaction as the gap between the individual ideal (housing preferences) and experienced housing conditions. Housing satisfaction is defined as the contentment level of an individual or household with their current housing condition [47]. While Jansen [48] identifies it as a discrepancy between the desired and experienced housing conditions of an individual or household.…”

This study attempts to unveil the interrelationships between marital and housing tenure status of female adolescents and adults in Jakarta province. Although gender equality becomes one of the prioritized sustainable development goals, the housing tenure of female adolescents and adults, according to their current marital status, is rarely examined for ensuring their tenure security and improvement of well-being. The employed mixed-method research with sequential quantitative-qualitative methods delivers the crosstab analysis to identify the majority of types of housing tenure according to the marital status of 289 female respondents, and axial coding from interviews with the selected respondents to understand the interrelationship between their marital and housing status. The result highlights that life-course events such as entering marriage, parenthood, and marriage dissolution lead to housing mobility and tenure changes, which are driven by financial capacity for meeting physiological and psychological needs. It emphasizes the meaning of a house for women as a haven for physical and psychological refuge, rather than a mere representation of social status. It complements the academic conversation on the gender-related topic of housing and also enriches the housing policy, planning, and design to meet the objective of the gender equality program according to sustainable development goals.

“…As the population continues to grow and so does the number of subscribers using GSM services, and more BTSs are required to meet subscribers demand for reliable coverage, many of such BSs are sited within residential, commercial, industrial and transit routes. Reference [5] reported that the location of adequate telecommunication masts and residents living in Oshogbo, Nigeria are susceptible to physical, health and environmental problems at certain distances from mast. Furthermore, using a descriptive cross-sectional survey, the health hazards of non-ionizing radiation from telecommunication mast on the exposed community within Kaduna and Lagos metropolis were assessed and presented in [2] and [6].…”

The measurement of possible presence of radiofrequency (RF) radiations from telecommunication base stations was carried out within Kaduna North Area of Kaduna State, to estimate the maximum level of power density from RF radiations to which the member of the populace within specific radius from the base transceiver station (BTS) are exposed to in relation to the existing guidelines to human exposure. Power density S (µWm-2) measurements were made at interval of 20 m to check the exposure level at public locations from 10 RF antenna sites starting from the foot of each BS to distance (radius) of 100 m using Aaronia Spectran HF-4060 Analyser and the electric field strength E (Vm-1) were calculated. The highest and lowest value obtained from measured mean power densities were 108.27 µWm-2 and 94.74 µWm-2 from a distance of 100 m and 40 m respectively. Also, the highest and lowest average electric field strength were 202.03 (Vm-1) and 188.99 (Vm-1) at 100 m and 40 m respectively. The result obtained, indicates that the measured values were far less than the permissible exposure limits for both workers and the general public as set by the International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). These results shows that the exposure levels in these areas are low and as such will not pose significant health risks to the people living in the study area.

“…Similarly, Akindele et al, (2014) assessed the condition of housing, adequacy of housing facilities and residents' perception of housing satisfaction with public estates in Osogbo, Nigeria. Using weighed mean values, it was found that there is a general deficiency in infrastructure development and almost all the estates considered in the study lack basic facilities.…”

The paper appraises the maintenance practice and residents' satisfaction of public housing estates in Osogbo, Nigeria with a view to encouraging best practices and adequate maintenance strategies in a proposition to preserving the existing housing stock and enhanced maintenance of public estates in the study area. One Hundred and Five (105) questionnaires were distributed among the residents of two (2) residential estates and 97 questionnaires were retrieved, representing 92.40%. Opinion of the Estate Surveyors and Valuers was also sought on the factors affecting maintenance in public housing estate. Analysis was carried out through the use of mean, severity index, cross-tabulation and Chi-Square test of association. It was discovered that there is no statistically significant relationship between maintenance practice and public services alongside infrastructures in the estates. Although, there is a significant relationship between occupants' level of satisfaction with maintenance of public services and infrastructures; the Phi and Cramer's V tests revealed a very weak strength in the association. The paper therefore suggests an integrated maintenance approach for effective upkeep of public estates infrastructures and facilities.
