Abstract

This study focuses on determinants of residential mobility in different residential areas of Osogbo. Data for the study were collected from primary and secondary sources. Primary data were collected through questionnaire administered on household heads in Osogbo that was stratified into core, transition and sub-urban residential areas. These residential areas were made-up of 26 electoral wards, random sampling technique was used to select one (1) out of every three (3) electoral wards in each residential zone giving nine (9) electoral wards. From a total of 10,027 residential buildings in the selected wards, one out of every twenty (20) building was systematically selected for survey, a total of 499 buildings was sampled. Information obtained include: socio-economic attributes of residents and factors influencing residential mobility among others Secondary information collected from government agencies include maps and electoral wards information. Data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings shows that the highest factor of residential mobility is House and economic factors accounted for (19.81%), followed by Infrastructural and accessibility factors (17.52%), Neighbourhood factors (12.23%) and Household factors (10.34%) respectively. The study concluded that factors influencing household residential movement including the residents’ socio-economic, overall housing and neighbourhood conditions and attributes among others, which varied along the different residential areas of Osogbo.
