“…In these last two sections of the questionnaire, the scale of measurement used was 5-point Likert type scale ranging from “1” for Strongly Disagree , to “5” for Strongly Agree . Other authors have used the aforementioned scale of measurement in previous research works [11] , [12] , [13] . At the pre-testing stage of the questionnaire, Cronbach׳s Alpha test was used to investigate the reliability of this scale of measurement used for the 17 items in Section C and 11 items in Section D. The tests returned values: 0.942 and 0.753 for the items in Sections C and D, respectively.…”

This data article describes the dataset on the digital technologies and applications used by architectural firms in the delivery of building projects. The data set was sourced through a questionnaire survey of 75 registered architectural firms in Abuja, Nigeria. The survey was conducted between December 2017 and January 2018 in the study area. The data, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics, contain the characteristics of architectural firms in Abuja that participated in the survey, the different stand-alone and integrated data acquisition, creation, processing, storage and communication/exchange technologies, applications and tools and intelligent systems the firms use in building procurement process. In addition, the advantages and challenges associated with the use of digital technologies in the procurement of building projects by architectural firms in the study area are also presented in this dataset.

Data about system that could be used in urban housing Construction process, renewal and upgrading is presented in this data article. Urban upgrading has been widely recognized as an essential issue in developing sustainable built environment. The aim is to identify the system approach that could be used for renewing and upgrading urban housing generally with view to expanding cities, redevelopment, redesigning and beautification of settlement layout, upgrading of facilities and public goods and services, repair, construction and silting of drainage system. Stratified survey method was used in generating the data, through identifying the current housing system in some selected locations in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, examining the factors that affects urban housing renewal and upgrading, identifying and examine the system approaches for urban housing renewal and upgrading and to develop a template for alternative material intervention for urban housing. The data was generated through questionnaire survey of 100 respondents; through Stratified sampling technique. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) with Descriptive Statistics such as percentage distribution, charts and relative agreement index for the interpretation of findings. Data was presented on system that could be used in urban construction process, renewal and upgrading as includes: Redevelopment system, Revitalization system, Rehabilitation system, Regeneration system, Integration system, Conservation system and Afforestation system.

“…Akinwande and Hui (2022) identified rural–urban migration and natural population growth as possible causes of urban sprawl. Carter (1997), Ibem and Aduwo (2015) and Ebekozien (2019) link affordable housing to low-cost housing (LCH) and social housing. For this study, Onyike’s (2007) description was adopted.…”

PurposeThe increasing growth of urbanisation, especially in developing countries, coupled with affordable housing leakages, may thwart achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11 (sustainable cities and communities). Studies regarding affordable housing leakages and their aftermath to Goal 11 in one study are scarce in Malaysia. The study investigated Malaysia's low-cost housing (LCH) leakages and their aftermath to Goal 11 and proffered measures to achieving Goal 11 and its targets. The purpose of this paper is to address these issues.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers covered four of Malaysia's major cities via a qualitative approach. The study used 40 participants via semi-structured virtual interviews, and saturation was achieved. The study adopted a thematic approach for the collected data and honed them with secondary sources.FindingsFindings group Malaysia's LCH leakages into government/agencies/departments in housing, housing developers/building contractors and client/building owners' root causes in Malaysia's context. It shows a threat from Malaysia's LCH leakages to achieving Goal 11 and proffered measures to enhance achieving Goal 11. Achieving Goal 11 will strengthen and improve Malaysia's many SDGs accomplishments because of their link.Originality/valueApart from proffering measures to mitigate long-standing issues (leakages) in Malaysia's LCH delivery from achieving Goal 11, findings will stipulate the accomplishment of other SDGs related to housing delivery.
