ABSTRACT

The aim of this research work is to assess the impact of infrastructural development on housing provision in Uyo local government. The research assesses the various infrastructures available in the area and it impact on housing provision. To achieve this aim, research questions were asked. The survey research design was adopted for the study. The research design deploy was the before and after design, which enable the researcher to ascertain the rate of housing provision in the area before and after infrastructural development. The population of study was made up of both property owners and tenant in the study area. The researcher used questionnaire, interview and personal observation as methods of data collection. A sample size of 274 was derived using simple radon sampling technique. He hypothesis developed was tested using Chi square.it was observed that the rate of housing provision before infrastructural develop was low. Also, it has been deduced that there has been an increase in housing provision due to the availability of basic infrastructures. The data collated was analyzed based on interpretation and conclusion was arrived.
