Survey reveals high satisfaction with vegetation and walkways but deficits in drainage and seating across secondary schools, highlighting the need for user-informed outdoor design.

Key Points

To evaluate user perceptions of existing landscape design elements regarding accessibility, safety, maintenance, and satisfaction in public secondary schools.
Adopted a survey research design supported by field observations across 5 purposively and randomly selected public secondary schools in Osogbo, Nigeria.
Administered structured questionnaires to 291 respondents and analyzed responses using descriptive statistics and Mean Weighted Values (MWVs).
Trees and vegetation (92.8%), sports areas (89.3%), and walkways (82.5%) were the most prevalent features, whereas relaxation gardens (51.5%) and seating (56.7%) were least available.
Walkways received the highest rating for accessibility (MWV = 3.91), while trees and vegetation scored highest for safety (MWV = 3.78) and user satisfaction (MWV = 3.77).
Drainage effectiveness received the lowest evaluation (MWV = 2.99), alongside relatively low ratings for seating, ornamental planting, and waste management.
