SPATIAL MICROSIMULATION OF CHARACTERISTICS AND LOCATION CHOICES OF INFORMAL HOUSEHOLDS IN METRO MANILA: IMPLICATIONS FOR SPATIAL ANALYSIS

Abstract: Rapid urbanization and high in-migration rates coupled with weak land use controls have contributed to the proliferation of informal settlements in Metro Manila. The uncontrolled pattern of development has encouraged low-density developments in the outer areas and location of informal households in the inner city areas. However, there is a lack of understanding on the spatial implications of such phenomenon.
Spatial analysis is hampered due to serious data limitations and the complexity of issues. On the other hand, the existence of household and individual microdata and spatial microsimulation approaches have great potential in providing spatially-disaggregate information which allow for more comprehensive analysis of spatial patterns and relationships. This paper focuses on the development of a spatial microsimulation model for the City of Manila and discusses the potential application of spatial microsimulation in analyzing the location choices of informal households.

Keywords: spatial microsimulation, informal households, location choice, spatial analysis
