Item Restricted Make a move: what would convince informal settler families (ISFs) who live along Metro Manila's waterway to relocate?(2014-12) Foronda, Franzine Flores; Montesa, Adolfo Aguilar; Monsod, Toby Melissa C.Using survey data from a socio-economic profiling of University of the Philippines Planning and Development Research Foundation, Inc. (UP PLANADES), conducted in 2013, this thesis aims to quantify the factors that may influence the decision of the Informal Settler Families (ISFs), who live along the eight major waterways in Metro Manila, to relocate. The study focuses on non-pecuniary or opportunity cost factors that may be significant in the relocation decision and employs three models in succession: hedonic rent estimation, logistical regression and multinomial logit regression. It finds that perceived risk from floods has the greatest potential in influencing a move, while the value of available housing services has the greatest potential in deterring it.
