COMMUNITY MAPPING & SETTLEMENT PROFILING

INCLUSIVE APPLICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF SOCIAL TENURE DOMAIN MODEL (STDM) TO ENHANCE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES

IMG_6875.JPG

Project description: The focus of STDM is on all relationships between people and land, independently from the level of formalization, or legality of those relationships. Standard land management systems used by local governments are difficult to articulate with the reality of informal settlements across the Philippines. STDM presents an alternative land management tool that finds a compromise between standard land management systems and this reality. 

 

The implementation of STDM in the Philippines is a pilot in the Asia-Pacific Region. The project covered the remaining four barangays (District 1) in Muntinlupa City and was an offshoot of the Citywide Development Approach (CDA) that initially mapped four barangays in District 2.

 

As part of the introduction of tool in the country, 4 STDM trainings were held throughout the project duration in key locations, including Davao City.

 

 

Partner institutions and beneficiaries:

  • 105 ISF communities in 4 barangays of Muntinlupa District 1

  • LinkBuild Inc.

  • Homeless People’s Federation Philippines Inc. 

  • UN Habitat – Global Land Tool Network 

  • Local government unit of Muntinlupa

  • Geodetic Engineers of the Philippines – National Capital Region

  • University of the Philippines Department of Geodetic Engineering

 

Amount of award: Php 2,119,000.00

MUNTINLUPA CITYWIDE DEVELOPMENT APPROACH (CDA) TO INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS UPGRADING

IMG_0713.JPG

Project description: The CDA is an alternative to traditional approaches to informal settlements upgrading that are mostly project-based and isolated. Given the increasing number of informal settler families (ISFs) in urban areas, especially in Metro Manila wherein it is estimated by the National Housing Authority (NHA) to be around 585,000, it is important that ISF upgrading strategies are scalable and systematic to be effective. The CDA is seen to do this by taking into account all informal settler families (ISFs) in a city and following a holistic plan for their shelter and social upgrading.

 

Partner institutions and beneficiaries:

  • 83 ISF communities in 4 barangays in Muntinlupa District 2

  • The World Bank Philippines

  • Homeless People’s Federation Philippines Inc.

Amount of award: Php 4,887,250.00
