Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the levels of residents' satisfaction with housing projects implemented under Integrated Housing Development programme in the City Administration of Addis Ababa. A mixed research design was employed to combine quantitative and qualitative research techniques to collect and analyze the data from the study area. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency tabulation to assess the general levels of residents' housing satisfaction and Residential Satisfaction Indices (RSI) to determine the degree of residents' satisfaction with each of the housing components identified for the analysis in the study area. The results of this study indicated that the residents perceived a low level of satisfaction with the housing unit features, housing unit services, neighborhood environments and the moderate level of satisfaction with management practices of public housing. The study recommends that housing projects in the study area have a number of problems that contribute to the unsatisfactory nature of the majority of housing projects in the study area. Hence, the government, housing developers, urban planners, architects and other housing experts concerned with housing provision should closely examine the situation and devise solutions to improve public housing provision.
