N2 - Post-disaster resettlement narratives encapsulate a complex mobile-spatial processes embedded in a post disaster context. Existing literature on disaster relocation and resettlement gives primacy to the logistical, practical, structural, and physical dimensions of residential transitioning. Building on this knowledge, this study used a spatial narrative inquiry to provide a link to mobile-spatial realities interspersed in diverse temporal trajectories by tracking embodied rhythms of people and objects evoked through the re-telling of post-disaster resettlement stories of 12 young Filipina women informal settlers. Key findings are organized in three spatial narratives, namely: house near the sea, there at the bunkhouse, and here in Ridgeview. These narratives are anchored on overarching dimensions which underpins Filipino informal settlers experiences of (not) moving in and out of space-related resettlement experiences.
FINDINGS are explained in light of theoretical, empirical and practical implications to disaster resettlement specific to informal settlers. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
