      abstract = {This study investigates spatial variations in residential satisfaction across Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Ibadan, Nigeria, with the aim of informing more equitable and context-sensitive urban housing policies. Despite extensive literature on housing quality in Nigerian cities, there remains a significant gap in understanding how satisfaction levels differ across urban space. Through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of twenty peer-reviewed articles and empirical studies, the research synthesizes existing evidence on the interplay between socio-economic conditions, infrastructural availability, environmental quality, and housing satisfaction. The findings reveal consistent disparities between central and peripheral LGAs in Ibadan. Residents in centrally located areas experience higher satisfaction due to better access to services, safer environments, and more organized spatial planning. In contrast, those in the suburbs and peri-urban LGAs face housing dissatisfaction driven by inadequate infrastructure, overcrowding, poor environmental sanitation, and socio-spatial exclusion. Studies such as Makinde (2020), Onifade (2021), and Lanrewaju (2024) emphasize that satisfaction is shaped not only by physical housing quality but also by neighborhood characteristics, community interaction, and governance practices. The study concludes that urban housing interventions in Ibadan must adopt a decentralized, participatory approach that reflects the spatial diversity of residents? needs. It recommends regular spatial assessments, stakeholder engagement, and targeted investment in underserved areas to promote inclusive urban development. This research addresses a critical literature gap and contributes to the formulation of spatially responsive housing strategies in Nigerian cities.},
