CHAPTER ONE

1.0       INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Housing generally refers to the social problem of ensuring that members of a society have a home to live in, whether it is a house, or some other kind of dwelling, lodging or shelter. Many government sector have a department that deals with housing, such as the United State Department of Housing and Urban Department.

Public Housing is a form of housing tenure in which the property is owned by a government authority, which may be central or local. Social Housing is an umbrella term referring to rental housing which may be owned or managed by the state, by non-profit organizations, or by a combination of the two, usually with the aim of providing affordable housing, social housing can also be seen as a potential remedy to housing inequity.

A Housing  is essentially a form of accommodation that offers reasonably priced, shared accommodation to travelers in either private or dormitory rooms. A management information system (MIS) is a system that provides information needed to manage organizations effectively. In 1912, in Altena Castle in Germany, Richard Schirrmann created the first permanent Jugendherberge or “Youth Housing”. These first Youth Housings were an exponent of the ideology of the German Youth Movement to let poor city youngsters breathe fresh air outdoors. The youths were supposed to manage the Housing themselves as much as possible, doing chores to keep the costs down and build character as well as being physically active outdoors. Because of this, many Youth Housings closed during the middle part of the day.

There are several differences between Housings and hotels, including:

1. Housings tend to be budget-oriented; rates are considerably lower, and many Housings have programs to share books, DVDs and other items.
2. For those who prefer an informal environment, Housings do not usually have the same level of formality as hotels.
3. For those who prefer to socialize with their fellow guests, Housings usually have more common areas and opportunities to socialize. The dormitory aspect of Housings also increases the social factor.

1.2       STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The growing number of students in higher institutions all over the world has posed a lot of accommodation problem on the part of students and school management. Students at the beginning of each session waste half of the semester looking for accommodation. The few Housings that exist in the universities are not properly managed. Statistics of the number of rooms required to match the growing number of students are far fetched. Most often, students pay for Housing fee and end up not getting one due to lack of bed space. Housing administrators cannot give accurate information of the occupancy of a particular room. These and many more form the statement of the problem that necessitated this research work.

1.3       OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The project is designed to help in the management of Housing allocation in the university. The main objective of the new system includes:

• Design and develop a central database system that would serve as Housing database, which will contain information on all the available rooms in the Housings.
• Design a computer – driven Housing allocation system for allocating Housing rooms to students.
• To generate reports on Housing occupancy

1.4       SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The new system designed for computer driven student’s Housing allocation will among other things:

1. Facilitate timely allocation of Housing rooms to students
2. Check the Housing occupancy at any time for information management
3. Enable management to plan on improving Housing living condition.
4. Have first hand information on the statistics of students in the Housing.

1.5       SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The research work will cover among other things:

1. Housing allocation
2. Housing rooms registration
3. Student reports.

The research will be carried out usingOGUN STATE COLLEGE OF HEALTH TECHNOLOGY,Ijebu,Ogun State

1.6     LIMITATIONS

Some of the constraints encountered during this project design include the following:

1. Financial Constraints: The design was achieved but not without some financial involvements. One had to pay for the computer time. Also the typing and planning of the work has its own financial involvements.
2. High programming Technique: The programming aspect of this project posed a lot of problematic bugs that took us some days to solve. Problems such database connections using VB and MS Access database posed a lot of challenges.
3. Few Literature Sources: The topic though seems to be a common term; it is not a popular topic to surf from the Internet. It had fewer literature sources.
