(TU Delft OLD Housing Systems) van der Heijden, H.M.H. (TU Delft OLD Housing Systems) Boelhouwer, P.J. (TU Delft OLD Housing Systems; TU Delft OLD OTB – Research for the Built Environment) Department OLD OTB – Research for the Built Environment Date 2016 Abstract The housing need of the burgeoning population, economic development and increasing urbanization have intensified the significance of land accessibility as an avenue towards improving housing provision in Nigerian urban centres. Literature in housing provision in Nigeria identified land accessibility factors in urban centres, yet there appears a gap in empirical housing studies on the specific orders of the accessibility from the perspectives of the urban low-middle income housing providers in Nigeria. This study examines the dimensions, extent of importance of the factors and their joint interactive influence on housing provision. Data were collected through a validated survey questionnaire, backed up with interview in Lagos. Analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential (t- test, relative importance index, RII and correlation statistics). Findings show that tenure security is the major accessibility factor and the least factor is availability (scarcity). It is further revealed that each identified factor influences one another in a different dimension in providing for urban housing. In conclusion, the need for an efficient land administration/ governance towards improving urban housing provision is recommended.
