Research Notice: Real Estate Knowledge and Real Estate Curriculum Development for African Universities. Therefore, this study examines the real estate academic curriculum taught by universities in sub-Saharan Africa.
Introduction
In contrast, when one undertakes property studies in the United Kingdom (UK), greater emphasis is placed on a classical surveying curriculum, which involves an orientation to land disciplines (Roulac, 2002; Jayantha & Chiang, 2012). In general, the real estate curricula in Africa are diverse and multidisciplinary in nature.
Literature Review
The real estate courses in these countries can therefore be considered as a multidisciplinary approach. The problems Africa faces in the real estate sector are therefore different from those in the Global North.
Methodology
Questionnaires were distributed to the participants of the 2018 African Real Estate Society (AfRES) conference in Abeokuta; Nigeria. The results will be analyzed and compared to help define the direction of real estate programs in the developing world context.
Conclusion
The subsequent research objective concerns understanding the direction real estate programs can take in a developing country context. The questionnaire contained questions that would help indicate the direction real estate programs might take in a developing country context.
Comparing Formal and Informal Land Administration Systems in Lagos State: The Case of Epe LGA. This study therefore establishes the benefits (if any) of the informal land administration system to assist future policy reviews.
Literature Review and Theoretical Framework 1 Personhood Theory and Informal Land Market
However, Ensminger (1997) reported that the benefits of tenure formalization had not materialized, regardless of the adoption of formal land administration in Africa. The benefits and problems of the two land administration systems were ranked using the mean point score (M.I.S).
Presentation of Results
Perhaps, informal land users do not adequately appreciate the benefits of formal land occupation. Thus, K2 was ranked second for formal land dwellers and 11th for informal land dwellers.
Discussion
Respondents in this study believe that one of the benefits of formal land management is that it eliminates favoritism and discrimination in land allocation. Overall, the findings of this study imply that while some of the visions of the LUA have been realized in the study area, much remains to be done to make the processes of land formalization transparent and user-friendly.
Conclusions and Policy Implications
Thus, it is concluded that neither of the two theories - modernist and personality - is better than the other in explaining the level of physical development on land in the studied area. Social and economic impacts of land acquisition programs in urban and suburban areas: a literature review.
Previous Studies on the Valuation of Environmental Amenities
Other independent variables of the study included housing size (structural variable), distance from the city center (accessibility variable), proximity to the nearest subway station (accessibility variable), and distance to the nearest urban forest (environmental variable). The results showed how physical infrastructure contributes to housing prices in the area under consideration.
Study Area and Research Methods
Thus, developers in the study area could easily fulfill the tastes and desires of buyers. HPM was used to reveal the value judgments of the various environmental features used in the study.
Findings and Discussion
Heteroskedasticity' on the other hand refers to a statistical phenomenon where the variance of the dependent variable varies in the data. Babawale and Johnson (2010) imply that the variance of data errors increases or decreases.

Conclusion
The demand for housing necessarily embodies the demand for places, access to public and private services, physical infrastructure and natural ecological amenities. In conclusion, the influence of both man-made and natural ecological amenities on real estate prices should receive more attention in the empirical discourse.
Conversely, the third section shows how, in developed countries, government intervention in the cooperative housing market has generated positive outcomes for housing prices and affordability. The result of government intervention in Egypt is seen in the 2,320 cooperative housing societies that exist today.
Methods
Extrapolating across the entire population of 2,516 cooperatives in the directory suggests that approximately 453 cooperative societies (18% of 2,516) can be judged to own approximately 8,605 hectares of land (19 hectares multiplied by 453). These are issues of internal governance of the cooperative societies themselves, transaction costs, housing production costs and lack of external support from stakeholders.
Discussion and Recommendation
It prescribed some regulations for cooperatives in the area of land acquisition (such as ensuring demonstrable agreement between cooperative members and leaders on the purchase of land). As the research findings show, cooperatives are not exempt from these production costs.
Compensation Theories
Generally, the depreciation of the market value of the remaining land is the amount of the severance and affection compensation. Market value is believed to clearly describe the value of the property and the appraisal process, and thus is considered the best basis for appraisal for various purposes (Baum et al., 2008).
Ontology of Customary Property Rights
However, customary property systems are modernizing with increasing direct money exchange (Cotula, 2004, Haruna et al., 2013) which is attributed, among other things, to increasing land scarcity (Takane, 2008a). Private ownership guarantees a known bundle of property rights with individual property title, certified and protected by the government (Alston et al., 1999).
Compensation Theories and Customary Property Rights
For this reason, market value fails as a fair basis and measure of compensation for common property as it cannot be autonomously proven because it lacks market evidence and excludes certain losses associated with common property that are priceless to affected people (Kaufman, 2010, Akujuru & Ruddock, 2014). The failure of market value to meet the intended goals of compensation for common property thus requires alternative valuation bases and methods. e) Use of market value as compensation basis.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Nigeria's most prominent real estate markets are located in the cities of Abuja and Lagos. It emphasizes the necessity of a better understanding of the market and the importance of professional real estate advice.
Scope of The Study
Likewise, the topic draws the attention of policymakers to the importance of supporting the real estate sector through legislative land management reforms and other measures to enable and improve better performance. This research is a ground-breaking comparative study of these two leading real estate markets and the vacancy phenomenon in Abuja.
Literature Review
For example, Abidoye and Chan (2016) consider the determinants of real estate investment value in the Lagos market. These findings serve to reinforce the importance of the macro economy in real estate investment decisions.
Methodology
Third, property values are derived from the market and must be realistic to be meaningful. Finally, there is a dearth of comparative studies on the Abuja and Lagos real estate markets and the pronounced vacancies and unsold development in Abuja.
Results
It was decided that this method would create a better picture of the issues in the two study areas below. They are in two categories: those with the highest indices (i.e. the strongest points of agreement by respondents) and those with the lowest indices (i.e. the strongest points of disagreement) by respondents.
Discussion of Findings
Present in the city are: the federal government (the presidency, the legislature and the judiciary); The federal ministries, departments and agencies, the Ministry of the Federal Capital Territory; and the Abuja Municipal and Area Councils. The responses on the issue of land yielded a high level of agreement (0.850) on the role played by high supply costs in development costs in Abuja.
Practical Implications
Conclusion
The study found that the adoption of innovative technology has significant positive outcomes in the facilities management profession, but negatively affects the social well-being of the facilities management professionals. A combination of the Internet, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), wearable devices, drone technologies, sensors and general robotics account for the current sophistication in FM practice (Atkin & Bildsten, 2017) ).
Methodology
Furthermore, Boström (2012) argues that neglecting the material impact of technology on ESWB compromises the quality of life available to employees. Some of the articles on the impact of technology on ESWB were found in the fields of study of sociology, psychology, and human development.
Role and Function of Facilities Management Professionals
A review of the abstract and findings of the articles was performed to eliminate irrelevant and/or identical articles. In comparison, more information on this topic was available in industry publications than in professional journals.
Technological Innovations in FM Practice
FM professionals use drone technology for maintenance, security, and logistics operations (Rathinam et al., 2005; Wu & Zhou, 2006). Robots can be categorized as service robots or industrial robots based on their predefined operational specifications (Lechevalier et al., 2014).
Benefits of Technological Innovations in Facilities Management From the foregoing discussions on technological innovations in FM practice,
Against this background, the next section assessed the benefits and challenges of technology adoption in FM. Benefits of Technological Innovation in Facilities Management From the previous discussions on technological innovation in FM practice.
Problems of Technological Innovations in Facilities Management The discussion outlined earlier indicates that there are significant drawbacks
Furthermore, economic resources are embedded in individuals' social networks and therefore social isolation reduces the worker's chances of securing another job in a short period of time (Bennett et al., 2010; Brand, 2014). The strength of people's social network with their friends, family, and community influences their social well-being (Samuel et al., 2017).
The Implication for Theory and Practice
In short, the adoption of technological innovations has significant positive impacts on the FM profession, but negatively impacts the social well-being of the professionals and reduces the demand for the role of professional facility managers. Subsequently, it became clear that the social well-being of employees is influenced by the adoption of technological innovations in FM organizations.
An exploration of psychological factors influencing teleworker work effectiveness, well-being, and work-life balance. For this study the structured questionnaire is the quantitative data source and one of the primary data capture tools.
Result Findings and Discussion
Most of the traditional compound housing units can be found in the core areas of Ibadan. Most of the houses (113) that have never been broken into can be found in the urban core areas.
