Research Abstract

1. The authors identified some barangays, villages, where most or some of the families were forced to transfer because of the severe damage caused by the 1990 Luzon earthquake in the southern coastal area of La Union (area [A]) and in the northern mountain area of Nueva Ecija (area [B]).
2. The authors found the close relationship between the ground condition interpreted by micro topography and the distribution of damaged houses in the alluvial plain in area [A]. The types and the degree of damage depends on the location of the settlements on the topography in area [B].
3. According to the survey, the authors found clear differences in rehabilitation process between the resettlement carried out by the initiative of the government and the resettlement based on people's own initiative. The point is according as the affected people actually participated or not in selecting the lot.
4. The former type of resettlement has problems of livelihood and/or traffic accessibility. Some of the resettlers expected mentioned that because of such problems they rejected the resettlement program with lots and houses prepared for them. One of the new settlements developed by the government in area [A] has many vacant lots even now in spite that the number of houses are increasing.
5. On the other hand, the latter type resettlers selected by themselves the place for living in view of the conditions of livelihood and/or accessibility. They are economically viable, but they have land problem in some cases. There are people who are claimed to vacate in one settlement in area [A], and in area [B] there are also the people who have been in negotiation with the owner about land use for their housing for 6 years since they transferred.
