This study employs a logistic regression model to offer an in-depth understanding of disparities in the access to essential urban services, specifically focusing on electricity and Internet services, in Nouakchott, Mauritania. Through a comprehensive analysis of demographic, geographic, and socioeconomic data, we identify key determinants of access to these utilities. Our findings reveal that the geographic location within the city, particularly in the western regions, and home ownership, significantly bolster the likelihood of having electricity. Conversely, women are found to be disadvantaged in this regard. For Internet access, income level and education, particularly at the Bachelor's level, emerged as significant predictors. This research not only sheds light on the intricate landscape of service provision in Nouakchott but also offers actionable insights for equitable development. These results empower both policymakers and citizens, marking a step toward transforming Nouakchott into a smarter, more inclusive urban environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
