dc.description.abstractThe study investigated housing Adjustmentactivities in the neighbourhood in two selected public housing Quarters of ABU Zaria in Kaduna State. The analysis of these adjustmentsin Area II and Silver jubilee Staff Quarters of Ahmadu Bello University Samaru Zaria were carried out in terms of their features and Manner on the residential quality. The general approach to this study was exploratory and descriptive, based on both qualitative and quantitative research techniques because the qualitative enquiries helped to explore the diversities in a situation or phenomenon while the extent or magnitude was determined through the quantitative means. The survey method was employed using questionnaires. The respondents‟ were 112 residents of the housing quarters, randomly selected from a total of 248 residents in the two quarters. In addition, in-depth interviews were conducted as part of the qualitative data on 5 stakeholders purposively selected. The data collected were subjected to statistical analyses using frequencies, percentages, cross tabulations. The outcome of the research shows that 95 of the 112 residential units under study were adjusted (86.4%), especially through the addition of sleeping spaces and securing their respective units. Behavioural factors and response to the drive of gaining more accommodation/spaces through different means was the highest motivator accrued from such effort. Measuring residents' pattern to certainadjustments noticeable in the study areas, showed their acceptance level for direct labour method. The housing quarters have beenaltered from a homogeneous community to a heterogeneous community. Thus, the neighbourhood have become mixed even in relation to land use. The propensity of these housing adjustments implies that incremental schemes in residential design, especially for the urban poor is imperative.en_US
