Shelter planning mandate

• Shelter planning has primarily been the responsibility of the national government agencies until the passage of RA7160 (Code) and RA 7279 (UHDA)

Shelter...

Climate Change FindingsGlobal (IPCC) National (PINCCC) Sorsogon

Average surface temperature increased by 0.74oC (1960-2005) Global average sea level rose (due to increase in average surface temperature) at an average of 1.8 mm per year over 1961-2003 Projected increases for further warming from 1.4oC to 5.8oC during the 21st century leading further increase in sea level projected from 18-59 cm in 2010 and from 1 m to 2 m (worst case) at the end of the 21st century

Projected increase of an average of 2 to 3 oC temperature

60 to 100 % increase in annual rainfall for Central Visayas and Southern Tagalog

increasing trend in annual mean sea level since 1970’s from the tidal gauge stations in the country including the one in Legaspi Albay stronger and more frequent tropical cyclone

City Shelter Needs

1. Need for Units– Backlog

• Doubled-up Households• Displaced Units• Homeless

– New Units Needed due to future population growth• Population projection• Number of Households

Definitions

BACKLOG

- Housing backlog is the number of dwelling units needed at the beginning of the planning period due to doubled up households, displaced units and homeless household

Definitions

BACKLOG

“doubled up household”exists when one dwelling unit is shared by two or more households.

Interpretation of Statistics: Assuming that the number of households per dwelling unit is 1.05, this means that for every 100 dwelling units occupied, there are 105 households occupying these units. Therefore, 5 households are unit sharers.

Definitions

BACKLOG

“displaced household Units (Relocation Needs)”-

These are new dwelling units needed to replace those occupied by households located in danger areas or those living on land which is needed by the government for a major infrastructure project or in areas where there is a court order for eviction and demolition.

Definitions

BACKLOG

“Homeless”-

Individuals or households living in parks, along the sidewalks, and all those without any form of shelter. Therefore, new units should be provided for these people.

Definitions

New Units Needed due to Future Population Growth

Total Number of new units needed to supply the demand for new households formed.

Computation: The total number of new units needed is derived from the difference in the number of HH in the last planning year and the base year. If three multiyear, say 5-year period, have been used, new housing units needed due to population growth comes from the difference on the number of HH at the end of the former period.

Definitions

Present Upgrading Needs

b. Infrastructure Improvement Need – There is infrastructure improvement need if the dwelling units lack access to one or more basic services and utilities. (N.B. the LGU should decide on this using their own data and applying national/local standards)

Definitions

Present Upgrading Needs

c. Structural Improvement Need – Exists if there are dwelling unit structures that are made of temporary materials but the HH already have secure tenure. Data source could be from the LGU actual survey or the NSO CPH

Definitions

3. Resource Analysis3.1 Resource Need for Housing

a. Land Need for Housingb. Infrastructure Need for Housingc. Building Materials and Labord. Finance Requirement for Housing

3.2 Resource Available for Housinge. Idle land for housingf. Infra & Basic Service Provision for Housing

Definitions

2. Present Upgrading Needs

a. Tenure – the need of those HH considered to have inadequate security of tenure on the land they occupy, i.e. no legal title or any written contract on land. To differentiate them from the Displaced HH, it should be noted that these HH are not to be removed but only needs assistance in “land security”.

Resource Analysis

• Land Need for Housing

– Total land area needed to match the shelter needs and the available resources

– The aggregated land requirement also necessitates the allocation for open space and circulation

Resource Need for Housing

• Infrastructure Need for Housing

– Potable water– Power– Sewage facilities– Access to primary roads and transport

Resource Need for Housing

• Building Materials and Labor

– Determine the future requirements based on estimated housing need to provide a genereal indication of their adequacy/inadequacy in meeting the demand

– Possible critical materials and resources to analyse: cement, lumberm GI sheets, steel bars, realtors, builders, engineers, architects

Resource Need for Housing

• Finance Requirement for Housing

– The calculations on the amount of assistance to be provided for basic services, land, acquisition, and other forms

Resource Available for Housing

• Idle Suitable Land for Housing

– When considering the suitability of land for housing, the following aspects are relevant:• Topography• Provision of basic services• Employment opportunities• Transport opportunities and costs
