This publication provides information on the population size, land area, and population density by region, province, highly urbanized city, and city/municipality based on the data from population census conducted by the PSA in the years 2000, 2010, and 2015; and data on land area by city/municipality as of December 2013 that was provided by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Also presented in this report is the percent change in the population density over the three census years.

A Shelter for the Victims of the Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines: the Design and Methodology of Construction
POLLACK PERIODICA An International Journal for Engineering and Information Sciences DOI: 10.1556/606.2017.12.2.11 Vol. 12, No. 2, pp. 129–139 (2017) www.akademiai.com A SHELTER FOR THE VICTIMS OF THE TYPHOON HAIYAN IN THE PHILIPPINES: THE DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY OF CONSTRUCTION 1Danilo RAVINA, 2Rowell Ray SHIH Department of Architecture, School of Architecture, Fine Arts and Design University of San Carlos, Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Received 10 December 2016; accepted 8 April 2017 Abstract: In 2013 Typhoon Haiyan, the largest typhoon ever recorded in the Philippines, devastated several portions of the country. This resulted in more than 7,000 deaths and thousands of people were misplaced or were made homeless. The aim of this study is to design and produce a transitional shelter prototype, for the victims of typhoon Haiyan. The shelter is affordable, easy to construct using basic tools and that can provide maximum space for a family of five while being able to withstand an onslaught on another incoming typhoon. Furthermore, this paper presents a design concept for a transitional shelter incorporating the Bent Method of construction while only using locally sourced coco lumber and actual validation on a full scale prototype. In order to achieve this objective, site analysis as well as consultations and interviews with the victims were being done and the results evaluated. Second, the conceptual designs as well as the method are presented to the local government and the beneficiaries of the shelter to obtain feedback. Third, the construction of a prototype was then employed to evaluate the construction conditions as well as the spatial considerations for the users.
