Stated Residential Preference of Squatters and Resettlers in Davao City, Philippines

Year: 2003

Type: article

Abstract: This paper examines the stated residential preference of squatters and resettlers in Davao City, Philippines. Resettlement schemes are popular programs of the local government to solve the problem of squatter settlements. However, the stated preferences of these squatters and resettlers are not usually considered in the planning and implementation of these resettlement programs. Applying the conjoint analysis, we examine the residential preference pattern of these groups. It was found that they generally prefer owner-occupied, outer city location, abundant infra utilities, common transportation, single-detached housing and advanced social facilities. The use of illustrative profile cards generated positive response from the respondents. The methodology employed in this study was found to be feasible and useful for understanding residential preference of squatters and resettlers.
