This highway has an approximate length of 269 km. The project road section, on the other hand, covers a total length of 52.0 km, cutting through the municipalities of Buug, Diplahan, Imelda. Siay, and Kabasalan, all in the province of Zamboanga del Sur. The region served by the project road is basically agricultural, with some coastal areas especially in the municipalities of Kabasalan and Siay. However, being a part of the Zamboanga-Pagadian City Highway, which is the backbone of the road network in the area, the project road section is crucial in the on-going socio-economic development of the region. The restoration of the Buug-Kabasalan Road Section will involve the construction of concrete Portland Cement pavement (PCCP), with a standard width of 6.70 rn and a thickness of 200 mm. The road pavement will have a shoulder of 1.50 m on both sides. Moreover, the project will cover the rehabilitation of seventeen (17) existing reinforced concrete bridges and the construction of a drainage system. There will be no major realignrmentin the proposed road project. Also, the 30 m road-right-of way (ROW) has long been acquired by DPWH. There will, therefore, be no land acquisition to be made. This does not mean, however, that the ROW has all been cleared of illegal occupants and structures. On both sides of the existing roads and within the ROW, the land is currently being used for residential/commercial purposes. Other structures affected by the proposed road project include fences, boundary walls, etc. The project will have adverse impact on a total of 106 households (or the equivalent of 505 persons), 2 community-based cooperative stores and 4 infrastructure facilities owned by the government. The total number of privately-owned main structures (e.g., houses and shops) that will be affected is 79,-of which 34 are residential houses, 19 residential houses cum small commercial shops (i.e., mostly marginal variety stores), and 26 small commercial shops. 71 of these main structures are made of temporary materials and 8 of semi-permnanentmaterials. No permanent main structures will be affected. Twenty-eight privately-owned main structures will be severely affected by the project, of which 5 may yet be re-organized behind on adjacent lots. The other 23 will need to be shifted elsewhere. Of the 23 that will be relocated, 12 are residential and 11 residential cum commnercialstructures. All of the four governrment-owned structures (i.e., concrete fence, basketball court, tennis court, and a barangay hall) will have to be re-built elsewhere. Moreover, about 75 trees of cormrnercialvalue and of various species will be acquired by the road project. A 1 ha relocation site is being proposed for severely impacted PAPs of Barangay Monching in the Municipality of Siay. vii Buug-Kabasalan Road Section Resettlement Action Plan CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Descriptionof the Project The Buug-Kabasalan Road Section is one of the five road sections that make up the Zamboanga- Pagadian City Road. This hi,ghway has an approximate length of 269 km. It serves as the backbone of the road system in the province of Zamboanga de Sur. The project road section covers a total length of 52.0 kin, cutting through the municipalities of Buug, Diplahan, Imelda, Siay, and Kabasalan, all in the province of Zamboanga del Sur. (See Figure 1.1 for the Location Map of the Project Area). More specifically, the project starts at STA. 60 + 500 in the municipality of Buug and ends at STA.
