A Sustainable Housing Solution for Informal Settlers from the Eight Barangays of Tanauan City, Batangas

Author(s) Ms. Lucy Redobante Lizardo
Country Philippines
Abstract Informal settlements remain one of the most persistent urban development challenges in rapidly urbanizing cities in the Philippines. This study aimed to develop a sustainable housing solution for informal settlers in Tanauan City, Batangas through the formulation of a sustainable subdivision and vertical housing framework responsive to social, economic, environmental, and cultural realities. A participatory mixed-methods research design was employed integrating surveys, key personnel interviews, site observations, and secondary data analysis. Findings revealed that informal settler communities continue to experience housing insecurity, inadequate drainage systems, environmental degradation, limited green spaces, and insufficient disaster-resilient infrastructure despite relatively stable household incomes. The study proposed the Kanlungan Vertical Village, a sustainable housing framework integrating climate-responsive architecture, renewable energy systems, resilient infrastructure, livelihood integration, and community-centered planning. The proposed framework aligns with Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 11, RA 7279, DHSUD standards, and sustainable urban development principles. The study concludes that sustainable housing must extend beyond shelter provision and function as an integrated socio-economic and environmental intervention that promotes resilience, inclusivity, accessibility, and human dignity.
