Problems, University Professors, Residential ComplexesAbstract
This study addresses a significant issue in the lives of university professors and their families, namely housing-related problems and their impact on academic, social, and psychological life. The present research seeks to reveal the nature of these residential complexes and the availability of infrastructure services, public services, maintenance services, and the fees collected from residents. It also proposes a number of recommendations intended to help resolve some of the problems existing within university faculty residential compounds. To achieve this aim, the researcher selected a sample of 140 university professors representing 140 households living in housing units within residential complexes, constituting the study population. A questionnaire was employed as the primary data-collection instrument. The study reached several findings, most notably that the main infrastructure problems in the residential complexes were related to markets and electricity. Furthermore, the majority of the sample experienced difficulties with public services, particularly schools and medical clinics, in addition to disparities in service quality between government-run and private (investment) complexes.
