|
|
| One fundamental necessity that has an impact on social, economic, and numerous other significant facets of life is housing. House selection is becoming a problem in a recent time due to increase in population, standard of living and economic hardship that were set in compare to the previous years. Deciding on how to select a house as students for accommodation is often very difficult. The aim of the study is to use multi-criteria decision making in order to determine factors influencing students house selection in the study area. This study applied Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) in selecting house. The study considered the off-campus students of the study area. The research designed adopted was a survey research using Saaty nine scale point questionnaire. Convenient sample was used to sample 150 students for the study. Three criteria were chosen with four alternatives which formed part of the question framed in Google form and sent to students to answer. The filled questionnaires were extracted and analyzed using Excel software version 10.0. The results of the study revealed that security ranked 1st in all the other variables measured while semi-detached room ranked 2nd. The 3rd and 4th rankings were room and parlour and single room. The results showed that in building students’ accommodation in the study area, priority should be given to security over light and cost of housing. We recommend same for public private partnership. We also recommend that university should prioritize students hostel over other social amenities to alleviate student’s hardship in obtaining accommodation. University should liaise with private organizations to help in building affordable accommodation inside campus. This will be more secured than students living outside the campus. |
