Abstract

---

This study assessed residents' perception of infrastructure delivery at household level in Ilesa, Nigeria. Using multistage sampling procedure, Ilesa was stratified into three residential zones; core, transition, and the sub-urban areas, each with different number of political wards. Due to homogeneity of the areas in each zone, one area in each zone was selected randomly. In each of the area, every 25th building was systematically selected leading to administration of questionnaire on 210 residents of which 196 valid responses were retrieved, serving as the sample size for the study. Findings from the study revealed that, majority of the residents in the core area were not satisfied with the household infrastructure delivery and stated that it was inefficient, residents in the transition zone provide most of the facilities themselves but are not satisfied with the delivery because they spend huge amount of money to obtain it. The residents in the suburban area were satisfied with household infrastructure delivery. This is because, they are high income earners that can easily afford to obtain whatever facilities they need independently. The study concluded that resident had low level of satisfaction with household infrastructure delivery despite the fact that they attach high level of importance to these infrastructure in the study area.
