dc.description.abstractThis study evaluates the relationship between neighbourhood characteristics and stress among residents in Kubwa, Abuja. A total of 300 households were randomly sampled using structured questionnaires in a six (6) selected neighbourhoods in Kubwa based on densities (Low, Medium, and High). The data obtained were analysed using descriptive (frequency, percentage, and mean) and inferential (Spearman rank correlation) statistics. The findings indicate a negative and significant correlation between neighbourhood perceived characteristics (r = -.172, p < .01) and physical characteristics (r = -.153, p < .05) and stress among Kubwa residents. Overall neighbourhood perceived characteristics (r = .251) and physical characteristics (r = .223) show positive and weak significant (p < .01) association with neighbourhood satisfaction. It is recommended that the urban authorities and communities should engage in the design and building of sustainable neighbourhood that provide green spaces, good drainage and sewage system, clean environment, aesthetic quality and reputation to improve the quality of life and enhance livability for all residents.
