ABSTRACT
This study aimed to examine the impact of Typhoon Odette on the dwellings in General Luna, Siargao Island, and to propose resilient post-disaster housing solutions for the community's
recovery. The study used NEDA's post-disaster rehabilitation framework, drew on local and
foreign studies, and employed a survey, interviews with government officials, and a site visit to
gather data. The study found that 56.4% of respondents' homes were partially damaged, and
43.6% were destroyed, mostly due to lightweight construction materials. The traumatic event
raised awareness of the importance of disaster preparedness and house repair. The study concluded 92.6% of respondents expressed a willingness to construct safe rooms in
their homes. The data gathered helped identify appropriate architectural interventions, including
the construction of safe rooms, the use of disaster-resilient strategies, and the adaptation of
Tropical Architecture as architectural style guide and resilient architecture for the project. The
project’s location is in Poblacion 5 General Luna which is defined
based on environmental, natural, and physical factors, as well as socio-economic criteria.
