Housing is ranked high among other human needs but its delivery is
usually insufficient in terms of number of stocks. If a significant
number of the available ones are not occupied, it might cause
unwanted waste of government resources. This study aimed at
identifying the reasons for such non-occupancy in public housing,
in Ondo State, Nigeria, through user-satisfaction survey on
cultural aspects. Hypothesizing that lack of cultural sensitivity
in design and planning affects significantly on public housing
non-occupancy, three public housing estates were investigated in
three local governments. From literature review, eight contextually
significant cultural variables were selected for investigation
namely: kinship relations, relaxation, food preparation, identity,
security, environment and housing management, privacy, and service
provisions. Results showed that the residents were satisfied with
four of them, namely, kinship relations, food preparation,
environment and housing management, and service provisions but not
with the others. This study insisted that careful considerations on
selected context specific cultural variables are important during
housing design and planning.
