A Community of Internally Displaced Persons and their Permanent Shelters: An Assessment of the Current Situation

Abstract

This study sought to assess the permanent shelters in Barangay Mipantao Gadongan, awarded to qualified Marawi IDPs. This study involved 20 respondents, who are housing beneficiaries duly endorsed by the Local Government Unit of Marawi City to the Task Force Bangon Marawi. The instrument used in data gathering was a self-structured survey questionnaire consisting of the socio-demographic profile of the respondents as well as their perception of the respondents on the effectiveness of the permanent shelter. Simple statistical tools such as frequency counts, percentages, and mean were used to analyze and interpret the findings. Moreover, this study employed an Ex-post Facto research design, specifically a cross-sectional survey design to collect the data needed in the study at one point in time. This study aimed to shed light on the current status of IDPs, particularly on the effectiveness of the permanent shelters constructed at Barangay Mipantao Gadongan, Marawi City.
