Primary Survey
Fifty four
percent (54%) of the dwelling units are erected in owned
lots, 35% are not owned, 10% are rented and 1% is other
forms of occupancy.
Seventy
percent (70%) of the dwellers have stayed in their
dwelling units all their life. Sixteen percent (16%)
have stayed for 3 years and up while all others stayed
in their dwelling units for less than two
years.
There are
3,186 households in 1995, with the number of dwelling
units; the dwelling unit-household ratio is 1:1.004.
This figure indicates that there is a very slight
deficiency in dwelling units. It further indicates that
there is a small degree of doubled-up households in the
municipality. There are about 13 doubled-up
households.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS AND
PROBLEMS
Housing
backlog is represented by the total deficiency in
dwelling units due to natural increase in population
(households), barung-barong or sub-standard dwelling
units and 5% annual less from total dwelling units made
of light and mix materials due to natural obsolescence
and decay. Total housing backlog for the current year is
estimated at 297 dwelling units, 20% of which is
accounted by the 5% annual less in dwelling units due to
obsolescence and decay.
The following
table shows current projected housing requirement for
1996-2010.

It can be
noted that 95% of the housing requirement constitute
substandard dwelling units such as barung-barong and the
5% loss of dwelling units due to obsolescence and decay.
Improvement and repairs of these units should be the
concern of the sector. There is a need to improve the
substandard units and likewise upgrade the settlement
areas, which have been marginally developed.
In terms of
land requirement for housing, the projected dwelling
units for year 2000 and 2010 must be about 102.84
hectares and 188.9288 hectares respectively. The
deficiency of dwelling units in terms of increase in
households is very minimal. These deficiencies in units,
if provided for will require additional areas of 4,320
square meters by year 2000 and 7,920 meters by year
2010.
