Exploring residential characteristics as determinants of environmental sanitation behavior in Ibadan, Nigeria
ABSTRACT This study investigated residential characteristics as determinants of environmental sanitation behavior in Ibadan, Nigeria. The municipality was stratified into three residential zones (core, transition, and suburb). Three political wards were selected in each of the residential zones for questionnaire administration. Using systematic sampling technique, every 20th residential building was selected in the selected wards. Questionnaire was administered in 1,082 residential buildings with a success rate of 84.8% comprising 436 in the core, 351 in the transition, and 295 in the suburb based on the building density in the zones. Focus was on residents with minimum age of 18 years. Findings revealed that environmental sanitation behavior is influenced by residential characteristics such as place of residence, gender, educational attainment, length of residence, household size, and house tenure in Ibadan. All these together can enhance environmental sanitation behavior and preserve sanitary urban environment.
