“…Like any typical Yoruba town in southwest Nigeria, Oyo consists of three areas of residential development. These are; the inner traditional core area, the intermediate or transitional area, and the periphery, or area of newer residential districts (Onokerhoraye, 1977;Egunjobi, 1995;Jiboye, 2004). The survey focused on the core area of Oyo town where traces of existing family houses are found.…”

“…Through this process, a generation of families expresses its existence and preserves the history and identities of lineage (Awotona et al, 1994). Considering the structure of households in the study area as typical of Yoruba traditional family setting, there was a predominance of the extended family structure -consisting of the father, wife, children and other relatives or descendants (Jiboye, 2004). As evident by the dominant size of households, 52.5% had between 5 to 10 persons per household, while others (47.5%) had more, as high as more than 10 persons depending on the number of wives and children available to each family.…”

Every culture produces its own house-form, highly reflective of the history and lifestyle of its people. The family house is a symbol of social identity and family recognition; the need to preserve people's culture and history through their house is crucial to achieving sustainable housing and decent livelihood. One major concern of urban sociologists and anthropologists, and those in housing related disciplines, is how to provide adequate shelter for the wellbeing of the people. This study thus attempts to examine the place of the family house in Oyo town, Nigeria. A survey of existing family house structure was conducted on households and their housing peculiarities to determine residents' dwelling preferences. The study showed that despite noticeable inadequacies and deplorable conditions exhibited by most dwellings in Oyo town, the people had strong inclination towards their houses. The study concludes that traditional architecture is not opposed to modernity if both are mutually and rationally initiated. To achieve sustainability in housing, relevant aspects of people's culture and history, inherent in their dwellings should be incorporated into contemporary housing development.

“…Accordingly, Jiboye (2004), argued against the lack of consideration of users' socio-cultural attributes in housing policy, and suggested the importance of inclusion of cultural preferences and peculiarities in physical dwellings' layouts. Also, according to Gotham (2003), social change is viewed from the point of view of 'relation' and 'conflict' in socio-spatial concepts.…”

“…From (Jiboye, 2004;Rapoport, 1969Rapoport, , 2000, the relationship between family structure, lifestyle, values, activities and identity and the house ultimately influence user satisfaction. this comes about because these parameters incorporate the smaller socio-cultural attributes of housing transformation such as gender, income, tenure status, level of education, age (Ayoola & Amole, 2014).…”

“…It is often claimed that socio-cultural attributes, especially context-specific ones, get less attention during such investigations in public housing design. Previous contributions in housing research in Nigeria focussing on housing satisfaction (Ukoha & Beamish, 1997), housing policy (Ayoola & Amole, 2014;Jiboye, 2011aJiboye, , 2011bOgu & Ogbuozobe, 2001), housing adjustment (Ibem et al, 2012), housing quality (Jiboye, 2004) and housing evaluation (Jiboye, 2010;Odediran et al, 2013) have identified the need for socio-cultural inclusion in public housing design. This study aims to fill that research gap by searching for socio-cultural attributes behind user satisfaction through studying transformed public housing units.…”

Transformation of houses is common, especially when households inhabit them for a considerable period of time. However, the scale of transformation might vary. Public housing in Nigeria has seen large scale transformations, and started to generate wide attention. The transformation phenomenon is often attributed to the exclusion of socio-cultural values in initial design that eventually results in unguided densification. But at the same time, house transformations arise from people's desires to satisfy their own ever changing housing needs. Using transformation as a sign of dissatisfaction, this study was an attempt to identify local socio-cultural attributes lack of which result in such transformations. Conditional sampling was adopted in order to find respondents across Nigeria. Socio-cultural attributes were identified from background study and were used in structuring a questionnaire-based survey. Findings from univariate and psychometric analysis based on the survey indicated that social activities and family structure were the two most significant socio-cultural attributes that guide residents' transformation decisions in public housing adjustments. This finding also appeared to be crucial as initial layouts proved not to lead to users' satisfaction. These results might be useful for prospective developers who are explicitly seeking a successful and sustainable delivery system.
