1. THE URBAN VERNACULAR A LOW-COST INCREMENTAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES by Erika Mae Castor Manlalo

2. introduction This study explores adaptable housing design as a solution to issues in informal settlements, such as rapid urbanization and displacement caused by eviction, flooding, and other threats. Focusing on Baseco , Manila in the Philippines, it aims to identify design processes that meet the needs of low-income communities, allowing them to live safely and healthily. Using both quantitative and qualitative research methods, including ethnographic studies and simulations, the study seeks to promote urban regeneration that preserves social networks. It advocates for adaptable, incremental building designs to empower communities to proactively manage risks and improve living conditions.

3. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RESEARCH ARTICLE 1. Flood Resilience : The design includes a temporary floating structure to protect households and belongings during floods, inspired by traditional bamboo rafts. 2. Buoyancy Mechanism : Bamboo is used for its natural buoyancy, with additional support from recycled plastic bottles beneath the flooring. 3. Simplified Structure : The design features a single-dwelling form with one half stilted and the other half for elevated storage, keeping items safe from floods. 4. Material Considerations : Timber and steel are avoided due to cost, sourcing challenges, and potential wear from sea exposure. 5. Stabilization : Recycled tires are used as a foundation to stabilize the structure on marshy terrain. 6. Need for Technical Studies : Further research is needed on the viability of bamboo floating structures and the community's access to basic infrastructure. 7. Community Involvement : Engaging the community is crucial to ensure the design meets their needs and preferences through their feedback.

4. METHODOLOGY The study aims to find design solutions that can adapt to flooding in informal settlements, helping to prevent the displacement of the people who live there The Author uses both quantitative and qualitative data. Initially, quantitative data will establish context, while qualitative data will focus on user experiences to refine design solutions. The study will employ ethnographic methods to understand community dynamics, despite potential researcher biases. Due to travel constraints, secondary data from previous research will be used, with design work involving simulations and modeling to reflect real-world conditions.

5. INSTRUMENT OR EQUIPMENT USED Ethnographic methods to observe and understand their culture, behavior, social dynamics, and needs. Secondary Data Sources also used due to the limitations on travel. M ix of quantitative and qualitative design research methods.

6. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY 1. Develop an adaptable building solution for a chosen third-world site that allows for growth based on the availability of resources over time. 2. Prevent displacement amongst informal communities through solving the problem in place and enhancing the community to cater to old and new social connections. 3. Empowering low-income communities through chanelling their abilities to build and contribute to the construction of their homes.

7. findings The researcher finds that adaptable housing solutions can help low-income communities in informal settlements avoid relocation and maintain social ties. It highlights the importance of community involvement in the construction process to create more suitable housing solutions. The study identifies a challenge with residents' perception of land ownership, which is based on occupancy duration rather than legal rights. Communities often react to crises like flooding rather than taking proactive measures. The researcher suggests shifting to proactive risk prevention by developing adaptable dwellings that can evolve over time. The findings also indicate that these housing models could be applied to other similar communities globally. Future research should include more community participation and a deeper exploration of materials and site-specific needs to improve design outcomes.

8. LEARNINGS AND CONCLUSIONS This research focuses on creating adaptable housing solutions for low-income communities in informal settlements, particularly in Baseco , Manila, to protect residents from displacement due to urban regeneration. It combines quantitative and qualitative methods, such as ethnographic studies and simulations, and highlights the importance of shifting from reactive to proactive flood response strategies.

9. The study identifies that informal settlers often base their perception of land ownership on the length of occupancy rather than legal rights. The proposed adaptable design encourages incremental improvements and community empowerment. Future research should include direct community engagement and explore the technical viability of materials like bamboo. The study's findings could be applied to other low-income, flood-prone communities worldwide, emphasizing sustainable, locally adapted housing solutions. LEARNINGS AND CONCLUSIONS
