    This document reports on a study of informal settlements in coastal areas and their effects on the ecosystem. It discusses how population growth and migration have contributed to the rise of informal settlements that lack basic amenities. Coastal areas in particular have seen major development and population increases. The study focuses on Barangay Matina Aplaya in Davao City, where the population has grown significantly over the past decade, reducing mangrove forests and increasing waste in the shoreline. Interviews with local officials and residents found many are aware of flooding risks but remain in the area. The objectives of the study are to establish sustainable coastal housing, restore mangroves and reduce waste pollution.

    A Study of informal settlement in the

    coastal area and The Effects on the


    Ecosystem
    ARS 2 - HOUSING

    REPORTED BY; VILLAVER, GANAL, SIA, DIDULO, ABELLANA, MADERA


    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
    Informal settlements and slums are caused by a range of interrelated factors,
    including population growth and rural-urban migration, lack of affordable
    housing for the urban poor, weak governance, according to (El-Masri and Tipple,
    2002)
    In addition, the coasted areas were a hotspot for development and population
    growth, according to (UNU-IHDP 2015).
    Today, many countries in the globe suffer some kind of flooding (Owuor, 2015).
    Then, more people and assets are expected to be endanger by interaction
    between environmental threats, urbanization and climate change.
    Environmental hazards impact urban areas and their people's well-being through
    storms, flooding, heat waves (Hunt and Watkiss, 2010).
    half of all the world’s salt marches, and approximately one third of mangroves,
    coral reefs, and sea-grasses have been lost or degraded (Barbier, 2017).
    STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
    • Nowadays, high global population concentration causes serious damage to
    very dynamic and fragile coastal-marine ecosystems, often leading to major
    problems and social conflicts (Barragan, 2014)
    • Moreover, Found that most of the households with low-incomes live in
    slum/squatter settlements and do not have adequate access to potable
    water, electricity, health, sewage and sanitation facilities. but, along with the
    direct land-use change related deforestation of mangroves, climatic
    processes are further expected to aggravate the rate of loss of mangroves
    globally. Mangroves face significant threats. (Lovelock et al., 2015).
    • Then, the Philippines Storm Surge Occurrence Compilation, there were only
    two incidents, which were caused by typhoons, of storm surge in the past of
    Davao City (DREAM., 2011).
    REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
    • In addition to direct land use change related to mangrove deforestation, climate processes are
    expected to further aggravate the rate of mangrove loss globally. Mangroves face significant threats
    from the slr'' sea level rise'' despite their ability to adapt to rising sea levels through vertical accretion of
    sediments. (Lovelock., 2015)

    • Coastal towns have increasingly been at the forefront of social and economic problems. On the one side,
    coastline areas display greater levels of population growth and urbanization, unsustainable natural
    exercise creates great damage and pollution to many water bodies around the globe. (2018., IPCC).

     The Philippines was projected to be one of the most vulnerable countries to climate change, being
    tropical and highly exposed to typhoon pathways. (Burke., 2011) (Hughes., 2012)(Cabral., 2013)

    • This seaside urbanization is causing a shift in land use in bays that are very prone to pollution. (Pelling.,
    2011)
    METHODOLOGY
    • The study is quantitative and qualitative research on Barangay Matina Aplaya, Davao City
    areas that were often damaged by hurricanes due to large waves and the gradually
    reduced the number of mangroves swamp trees in the coastal area. The researcher shall
    develop a sequential exploratory strategy and a mixed qualitative and quantitative
    strategy to find out if they are aware of this incident and why they are still living in this area
    and it is advisable for the researcher to fully investigate the problem in the area,
    documentations and interview will be used with the questionnaire’s regarding on the site to
    have more reliable results for the same priority of the methods.
    The study uses quantitative and qualitative research.
     Find out if they are aware of this incident and why they are still living in this area.
     Researcher must fully investigate the problem in the area, documentations and interview will be used
    with the questionnaire’s regarding on the site to have more reliable results for the same priority of the
    methods.

    INTERVIEWS
    LOCATION; BARANGAY MATINA APLAYA , DAVAO CITY In order to learn and explain some of the
    information on the present scenario, the Researcher
    interview DCDRRMO Head Training Officers Mr.
    Lyndon Ancajas, Flood Prone Areas in the City of
    Davao, and Nestor B. Cirunay to the Captain of
    Barangay 75-A, for the background of the flooded
    regions of Davao City. In addition to the researcher
    also plans to interview several people in the area to
    clarify their experiences of huge floods and storm
    surge. Distribution of House and Population Per Purok

    OBJECTIVES

    • Establish urban coastal settlement providing adequate


    accommodation.
    • To reduce the amount of waste on the shoreline.
    • Establish alternative improvement of the environment on the
    coast and cultivating the mangroves to restore the
    harmonious ecosystem.
    • To minimize the coastal urban sprawl.
    INITIAL FINDINGS
     People have changed the natural shoreline, seas, and swamp
    forests in Dumalag, Matina Aplaya. Davao City.

     The mangroves swamp forest is rapidly reducing.

    • Base on data gathered, it was telling that due to increasing


    population at coastal zone, Now, it is considered as COASTAL
    URBAN SPRAWL.

    • Expected a greater amount of solid waste at shoreline.


    PROBLEM QUESTIONS:

    • How will the revitalize swamp forest and shelter resilient help the urban poor
    settlers in the coastal area in terms of enhancing adequate shelter and
    prevent disasters and illnesses?
    • How will the sustainable coastal remediation recover several kilometers of the
    shoreline area?
    • How will the sustainable coastal remediation generate mangroves and
    remove the solid waste on the shoreline?
