CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

In Oyo State, Nigeria, faces significant challenges in housing management due to a lack of
centralized and efficient information systems(Afolayan,1987). This detailed proposal outlines the design
and implementation strategy for an Information Management System (IMS) aimed at revolutionizing
housing management within the state.

Overview of Oyo State's Housing ScenarioDemographics, population growth, and housing


demands.Challenges in the current housing infrastructure(Elizabeth Layton,1951).Existing Information
Management ChallengesFragmented data storage and management.Inadequate accessibility for citizens
to housing information and application processes(omijinmi,2000).

Creation of a centralized database for housing information.Development of a user-friendly


interface for citizens and officials.Integration with existing governmental
systems( A.Rapoport,2000).Implementation Objectives Phased development plan.Rigorous testing
protocols.Training programs for system users and administrators.Proposed IMS Framework:Architecture
Overview,Database structure: housing units, ownership, maintenance records, financials.User interface:
web portal and mobile application for citizen access.Key Features,Housing Unit Database: Details on
location, availability, occupancy rates.Application System: Online application process for
citizens.Financial Module: Monitoring of payments, subsidies, and loans.Maintenance Tracker: Records
of repairs and maintenance schedules(vini Nathan, 1995).Assumed Data for System Development
(Sample):Housing Unit DataTotal number of housing units: 10,000Locations: Urban - 70%, Rural -
30%Ownership: Government-owned - 60%, Private - 40%Financial Data,Subsidies available: 20% for low-
income applicantsAverage rent rates: Urban - ₦100,000, Rural - ₦50,000,Application Records,Assumed
annual application rate: 5,000,Application processing time: 30 days, implementation
Strategy:Collaboration and Stakeholder Involvement,Engaging government officials, urban planners, IT
professionals, and citizens.Incorporating feedback for system refinement(A.mabogunje,1962).There are
Development Phases such as,Phase 1: Database establishment and initial interface design.Phase 2:
Application system development and financial module integration.Phase 3: Testing, training, and
deployment.
The implementation of the Oyo State Housing Scheme Information Management System holds
immense potential in streamlining housing management, enhancing citizen access, and fostering
efficient governance. This proposed system, built upon assumed data, aims to serve as a foundational
step towards addressing the housing challenges within Oyo state,Nigeria(Adedeji,2007).

Statement of the Problem

The problem in designing and implementing the Oyo State Housing Scheme Information
Management System involves addressing various challenges related to efficient management of
housing-related data and processes. Key issues may include:Data Centralization: The need to centralize
diverse information related to housing schemes, including property details, ownership records, financial
transactions, and maintenance history, poses a challenge. A robust system should integrate and manage
this data effectively.

Ownership Challenges: These challenges can manifest in several ways,If there is uncertainty about who
owns the information management system, it can leads to delays in decision-making processes and
hinder progresses without clear ownership ,it may be difficult to allocate resources, establish
accountability, or make necessary updates and improvement of the system .

Allocation Challenges: it can affect the availability of skilled personnel to design, develop ,and maintain
the information management system. Insufficient allocation of human resources may lead to unstaffing
or a lack of expertise in critical areas,which can impact the system's performance, security and overall
effectiveness.

Expensive Housing : it could potentially cause challenges for the information management system.
When housing prices are high,it can lead to issues such as limited access to affordable housing for
residents. This can result in overcrowding, homelessness, or people living in inadequate conditions,
These housing problem can put a strain on the information management system, it can lead to a
increase in the demand for social services, such as assistance programs for those struggling with housing
affordability.

Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive and collaborative approach involving


stakeholders from government bodies, technology experts, and the community to design and
implement an effective Oyo State Housing Scheme Information Management System.

Purpose of the Study

The primary objective of this study is to design and implement a Housing Scheme Information
Management System specifically tailored to the needs of Oyo State. The system's purpose is threefold:

Enhanced Data Accuracy:To eradicate discrepancies in housing records, ensuring that information is up-
to-date, accurate, and easily accessible.
Streamlined Administrative Processes: To simplify and expedite housing administrative tasks, fostering
efficiency in decision-making, resource allocation, and resident services.

Improved Accessibility:To provide residents, administrators, and other stakeholders with timely and
transparent access to housing-related information, fostering a sense of community engagement and
trust.

Significance of the Study

The successful execution of this project holds considerable implications for the housing landscape
in Oyo State. By deploying an advanced Information Management System, the state stands to gain:

Operational Efficiency:Real-time data access enables quick decision-making, reducing bureaucratic


delays.

Resource Optimization:Efficient resource allocation based on accurate data improves the overall
effectiveness of housing management.

Community Satisfaction: Residents benefit from transparent information access, fostering a sense of
inclusion and trust in the housing administration.

Long-term Planning: The system lays the groundwork for future urban development planning by
providing comprehensive, reliable data.

Scope of the Study

This research focuses on the comprehensive design and implementation of the Housing Scheme
Information Management System within the geographical confines of Oyo State. The scope
encompasses:

Geographical Boundaries:The study considers the unique demographic and geographic characteristics of
Oyo State, tailoring the system to address the specific challenges within its borders.

Administrative Processes:The project delves into the intricacies of housing administration, addressing
challenges related to data collection, storage, retrieval, and decision-making.

Stakeholder Involvement: The system aims to engage residents, administrators, and other stakeholders,
fostering a collaborative approach to housing management.
