“…Factor 1 accounted for 12.75 per cent variance; Factor 2 accounted for 11.76 per cent variance, whilst Factors 3 and 4 accounted for 10.58 and 7.84 per cent variance, respectively; Factor 5 accounted for 4.48 per cent variance; Factors 6 and 7 accounted for 4.15 and 3.68 per cent variance, respectively; and Factors 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 accounted for 3.66, 2.96, 2.96, 2.76, 2.76, 2.59 and 2.58 per cent variance, respectively. This study agrees with Agbabiaka (2016) who adopted 0.55 and above; therefore, any variable loading with value that is greater than 0.55 will be interpreted in line with Agbabiaka (2016). It should be noted that any component that has less than two variables loaded highly on it should be disregarded (Field, 2005).…”

Purpose Rental housing is an important form of accommodation; evaluating its quality will improve the quality of designs, standard living of renters, new dimension to policy guiding rental housing and enhance the values of rental houses. This study aims to examine the factors influencing rental housing quality in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select tenants for the study. Residential areas were stratified into three densities: high, medium and low. Out of the 18 residential areas identified, six, eight and four were in the high, medium and low densities, respectively. Five residential areas were selected based on high concentrations of rental housing. The selected areas are Mokuro and Iloro (high density), Ife City and Eleyele (medium density) and Aladanla (low density). Systematic sampling technique was used to select 550 buildings where an adult tenant was selected per building for questionnaire administration. Findings The results of the principal component analysis established that four factors were generated for the high-density, nine factors for the medium-density and five factors for low-density areas as the major factors influencing rental housing quality. The variation in the number of factors generated and the percentage variance explained by the factors could be associated to the peculiarities across the densities in terms of the socioeconomic characteristics and housing characteristics of the renters. Originality/value This study examined the factors influencing housing quality for renters in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. It provides information on the three residential densities in terms of the variation in their housing morphology. The study went further to establish the relationship among the three musketeers such as socioeconomic characteristic of renters, housing characteristics and housing quality, under three dimensions environmental, internal building and external Building. Therefore, the contribution of this study strengthens the position that a minimum standard and schedule of upgrade and maintenance should be meted out for landlords to carry out repairs at interval, so as to make the housing unit and environment habitable for tenants.

“…It is important to note that only variables with value above 0.55 were interpreted in this matrix. It is equally important to know that only components that have at least two variables which were highly loaded than 0.55 were named and discussed in line with Agbabiaka (2016).…”

“…Tabachnick and Fidell (1996) suggested that variables with loadings 0.32 and above may be interpreted. In other studies where factor analysis has been applied, such as Olayiwola (1990), Adeyinka (2007), and Agbabiaka (2016), 0.32 and 0.55 were used as cutoff points. This study, therefore, used 0.5, which is considered to be good as it has 30% overlapping variance (Tabachnick & Fidell 1996).…”

This study examined domestic energy usage and its health implication on residents of Ese-Odo and Okitipupa Local Government Areas (LGA), of Ondo State. Systematic random sampling was used to select 103 and 156 respondents in Ese-Odo and Okitipupa LGA, respectively. It was established that environmental and socioeconomic related attributes influenced residents' choice of domestic energy type. Similarly, burns, blindness, stroke, cataract and pulmonary diseases were the most prevalent self-reported ill-health. A relatively weak correlation between domestic energy usage and ill-health is experienced by the residents. Therefore, the study concluded that the use of traditional energy types had significant adverse effects on the health of the residents in Okitipupa and Ese-Odo LGAs of Ondo State. K E Y W O R D S domestic energy usage, health of residents, households' energy, self-reported ill-health of energy for cooking, heating, and lighting (Kowsari & Zerriffi, 2011). Such traditional biomass fuels are widely used particularly in developing countries. For instance, Onoja (2012) argued that evidence from China has shown that there are considerable numbers of households that are stick to traditional biomass fuel use despite their access to

“…Having 30 variables or more gives communalities greater than 0.7 for all variables; however, less than 20 variables can have communalities less than 0.4 (Guadagnoli & Velicer, 1988). Communalities after extraction are expected to be high to have a reasonable representation (Agbabiaka, 2016). From the result in Table 4, communalities are higher than 0.70 for all variables.…”

Gross unethical conducts are common issues among professionals in the construction sector due to the heterogeneous nature of the industry. However, limited efforts are made to ensure that ethical standards become enforced among professionals in the sector. Therefore, this study assessed effective mechanisms for the enforcement of ethical standards to improve public confidence in construction professionals. Data were collected through copies of questionnaire administered on professionals in consultancy, contracting and government organizations in Southwestern Nigeria. One hundred and seventy-two (172) copies of questionnaire were retrieved and found suitable for the analysis. Data collected was analyzed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics. The study revealed that all the ethical standards identified were moderately significant with relative effective index (REI) that ranged from 0.585 to 0.526. Some of these included personal reputation, promotion of civic right, good citizenry, among others. Four major effective mechanisms for the enforcement of ethical standards extracted through factor analysis are the roles to be played by the stakeholders (68.22%), individual (9.44%), industry (3.64%) and legal instruments (3.08%). It was concluded that these four mechanisms are effective in the enforcement of ethical standards in the construction industry. The study recommends that all construction stakeholders must ensure that all hands are on deck through collaborations to sanitise the image of the industry. The outcome of this research will improve the ethical orientation of each professional, which will have a positive effect on the general public's perception of the industry.
