Abstract

Displacement in residence is standard in the advent of natural or man-man-made disasters and development needs such as road expansion or flood control infrastructure. Relocation is ideal for displaced residents, particularly in urban sites. According to the people, the process causes numerous modifications in their general quality of life after being relocated. Some may consider the relocation a blessing; others consider it a deprivation, particularly of their livelihood. This life-changing experience will be reflected in the overall quality of life of the relocates, their participation in social and political activities, their participation in social and political activities, their aspiration and their life satisfaction. This study was meant to gather empirical data on these aspects of the relocates' life considering five relocation sites in Iloilo City: G.K. Subdivision in San Isidro, Jaro; Iloilo Riverplains, Lanit; San Isidro, La Paz, Sooc, Arevalo; and Uswag Subdivision, Jaro.
