Abstract

Among the three basic necessities of man, housing plays an important role. It has an implication on the mental, psychological and social wellbeing of man. In line with this, this study seeks to carry out an environmental assessment of federal housing estates in the south east, Nigeria, with a post impact approach. To actualize the aim of this study, data was extracted from the ministry of works and housing of various south east states and some focus group questionnaire data from residents and staff of the aforementioned ministries. The statistical methodology adopted is the percentage and one sample t-test statistical analysis. Findings from the analysis showed that environmental pollution, resource depletion, habitat destruction, soil erosion and material waste are the possible significant environmental consequences. It is therefore the recommendation of this study that the federal government should ensure that federal housing intervention is backed up with proper waste and erosion control strategies and there should be policies to control the emergence of rural-urban migration at the designated federal housing units.
