The stratified random sampling was used in distributing questionnaire to household heads in all types of homes. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics and structural equation modelling (SEM).

Low Income Housing

Housing is a basic human need and its liveability transcends beyond the perimeter of the housing unit. The quality of the living environment is important for an individual’s wellbeing. The factors that contribute to the inhabitants’ satisfaction in a living environment are essential inputs in monitoring the success of housing policies of the government. This paper measured the dimensions and attributes of the living environment of the public low income housing estates in Minna, Niger State. A questionnaire was administered to 400 household heads in the three selected housing estates based on stratified random sampling. 366 questionnaires were returned and the data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and factor analysis. Results showed that residents are satisfied with housing unit and economic vitality, but dissatisfied with neighbourhood facilities, and socialinteraction was lacking among the residents. Also, residents are apprehensive of their safety. This study recommends an immediate improvement of neighbourhood facilities in these housing estates.

Indoor hydroponics system is gaining acceptance and traction in providing practical indoor farming capabilities for urban dwellers, including in low income housing estates. However, for the low income urban dwellers, the size of their residence might restrict the design of the indoor hydroponics system, especially in terms of available floor space. Furthermore, before one starts to develop an indoor hydroponics system, it is imperative to identify users’ preferences, in terms of the types of plants to grow, price, and design to enable the researchers to develop a better indoor hydroponics system. In this study, opinions from 53 participants on indoor hydroponics systems were obtained and analysed. Four aspects were analysed via the survey: (1) customer evaluations; (2) positive value; (3) costing; and (4) purchasing proclivity. The study shows that participants prefer to grow edible plants because of their benefits. Participants also prefer systems priced at below RM100 (60.40% of the respondent). Aloe Vera (56.6% preference) and Brazilian Spinach(49.1% preference) are two types of plants most preferred by the participants. As mentioned previously, the output of this survey will be used to guide the process of developing a suitable indoor hydroponics system for the low-income urban dwellers.
