Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the quality of housing services in the students’ residential areas (SRAs) of Osun State University, Osogbo campus.Design/methodology/approachEighty-eight hostels were systematically sampled and questionnaires were administered to students' representatives from each of the sampled hostels. Also utilized was a physical observation of the hostels. Data obtained include the socioeconomic characteristics of the students, characteristics of housing units in the SRAs and condition of housing services in the SRAs.FindingsAbout 40% of the residents are fresh students with no previous knowledge of the housing condition of their hostels. Also, about 50% of the accommodation in the SRAs is within the range of #51,000 – #100,000 per annum (about 200–400 US Dollars). With this high price, about 65% of the hostels are occupied with not less than two squatters. While housing services such as electricity are reportedly high, the quality of hostel services in the study area depends on the housing unit's cost.Social implicationsIn the social context, the paper identifies the implications of the quality of housing services on students' health and associated risks. The study, among others, recommends the development of a regulatory framework for the control of the rental value of hostels, basic facilities in the hostels and the number of students in a room.Originality/valueThis research, unlike previous researches, gives an insight into quality of housing services in tertiary institutions in the country.

尼日利亚奥松州立大学奥索博校区学生住宅区的住房服务质量
目的评价奥孙州立大学奥索博校区学生居住区的住房服务质量。设计/方法/方法对88所宿舍进行了系统抽样,并向每个抽样宿舍的学生代表发放了问卷。还利用了对旅馆的实地观察。获得的数据包括学生的社会经济特征、SRA中住房单元的特征以及SRA中的住房服务条件。调查发现,约40%的居民是应届生,以前对宿舍的住房状况一无所知。此外,SRA中约50%的住宿在每年51000至100000之间(约200至400美元)。在这个高昂的价格下,约65%的宿舍有不少于两名寮屋居民入住。据报道,虽然电力等住房服务很高,但研究区的宿舍服务质量取决于住房单元的成本。社会影响在社会背景下,本文确定了住房服务质量对学生健康和相关风险的影响。除其他外,该研究建议制定一个监管框架,以控制宿舍的租金、宿舍的基本设施和房间内的学生人数。原创性/价值与以往的研究不同,这项研究深入了解了该国高等院校的住房服务质量。
