Date Issued 01 April 2013
Abstract The integration of resettlers in the host community is needed in every resettlement plan. While most resettlement planners in the Philippines focus on providing assistance to those who will be relocated, the needs of the host community and the impact of the sudden change in the local population are usually neglected.

The thesis “Social Impact of Kasiglahan Village-I Resettlement on the Host Community: Social Services Sharing and Perception of Residents of Barangay San Jose, Rodriguez Municipality” aims to determine the impact of resettlement on the social services and facilities provided by the local government to the host community through the local residents’ perceptions, with Barangay San Jose; Rodriguez, Rizal as the selected study area.

The main objectives of this study are (1) to determine the perception of local residents about the impact of resettlement programs in Rodriguez, (2) to provide an overview on the social concerns that may arise after resettlement, (3) to assess the availability of social services for the local population (education, health, employment opportunities, housing, and protective services) through the perceptions of the local residents, compare the perceptions of the host community residents with the perceptions of resettlers about the social services provided to them, and (4) to propose policy and program recommendations for the Rodriguez project and for future housing resettlement projects.

They were asked to rate specific social services including housing, labor supply and business, education, peace and order, and health services twice: for the period 1995-1998 (before resettlement) and for 2012 (after resettlement). Archival data was also gathered and interviews with key informants done to study the situation before and after th
