Post-disaster Housing Reconstruction in a Philippine Estuarine Island Case 2: Estella

This is part of a series of case write-ups developed from ethnographic data collection activities (using a combination of remote and in-situ methods due to Covid-19 restrictions) in Isla Sasa, a Philippine estuarine island, from 2020 to 2021 (ongoing as of writing). The data collection was conducted as part of the author’s doctoral research on design and citizenship practices within post-disaster housing reconstruction for the School of Architecture and Urban Design at RMIT University. Data collection focused on adult householders who suffered from either housing loss or damage after Super Typhoon Glenda in 2014 (international name: Rammasun), the most destructive storm on the island and one of the most destructive storms in the Philippines. Aside from exposure to typhoons, inhabitants of the four-hectare island also suffer from intense flooding that can be traced to land subsidence and sea level rise. The interview for Case 2 was conducted using a mobile phone and arranged through the assistance of a community health worker residing in the island follow research ethics protocols approved by the RMIT Human Research Ethics Committee. The interview was conducted in Tagalog. The interview was transcribed and this summary is based on the transcription.

本数据集为系列案例研究报告的组成部分，相关报告源自2020至2021年（撰写本文时仍在进行中）于菲律宾河口岛屿萨萨岛（Isla Sasa）开展的民族志数据采集（ethnographic data collection）活动（受新冠疫情防控限制，本次调研采用了远程与实地调研相结合的方法）。本次数据采集工作为皇家墨尔本理工大学（RMIT University）建筑与城市设计学院作者的博士研究项目内容，该研究聚焦灾后住房重建语境下的设计与公民实践。数据采集的调研对象为2014年超级台风格伦达（国际名称：拉马孙（Rammasun））过后遭遇房屋损毁或灭失的成年户主；该台风既是该岛遭遇的破坏性最强的风暴，也是菲律宾破坏性最强的风暴之一。这座占地4公顷的岛屿居民除遭受台风侵扰外，还会遭遇由地面沉降与海平面上升引发的严重洪涝灾害。案例2的访谈通过岛上一名社区卫生工作者协助安排，采用移动电话完成，并严格遵循皇家墨尔本理工大学人类研究伦理委员会批准的研究伦理规程。本次访谈以他加禄语（Tagalog）开展，访谈内容已完成转录，本总结即基于该转录文本撰写。
