This study seeks to develop a comprehensive resettlement proposal for ISFs residing along the flood-prone waterways of San Cristobal River in Calamba, Laguna. It emphasizes the importance of addressing the socio-economic and environmental challenges faced by ISFs, particularly the risks associated with flooding and the lack of secure housing. The research also examines external factors influencing relocation efforts, including economic viability, community acceptance, and access to essential services. The proposed resettlement plan integrates key components: disaster-resilient housing, livelihood opportunities, and access to social infrastructure. The housing design prioritizes affordability and sustainability, while the integration of community facilities ensures a holistic approach to improving the quality of life for resettled families. Furthermore, the plan incorporates disaster risk reduction strategies to mitigate future hazards and promote long-term community resilience. This initiative contributes to the improvement of urban planning and disaster preparedness in flood-prone areas, while fostering collaboration between government agencies, housing developers, and the affected communities. By addressing existing challenges, the study offers a replicable framework for sustainable resettlement that prioritizes safety, inclusivity, and socio-economic upliftment for vulnerable populations.
