dc.description.abstractFlooding has been around ever since the first human civilization. As natural phenomena goes, flooding is considered as one of the most destructive. The problem with flooding started when people began living in floodplains, deltas or any other coastal areas which are easily inundated by the waters surrounding it. As technology continues to evolve, humans have learned to cope with the floodwaters that usually inundate their homes. They began building structural measures that mitigates flooding. However, floods being a natural phenomenon can only be contained so much and in the end the flood control programs in place will eventually outlive their purpose. This study entitled KILOS KONTRA BAHA: Its Implications on the Socioeconomic Life of the Residents of Four Barangays in Navotas City investigates how the flooding incidences and the flood control programs affect the socioeconomic lives of the residents of Barangays Bangkulasi, Navotas East, San Jose and Sipac. It explains how the floods affected the people and what coping mechanisms the residents use in dealing with the flooding incidences. Moreover, this study surveys the effectiveness of flood control programs implemented in Navotas City. Aside from that, it surveys the perceptions of the residents regarding the flood control programs found in the city. Finally, this study suggests several recommendations to reduce if not totally eliminate the flooding problem. This study shows that coordination among the people, the local government and the national government will be of paramount importance if a comprehensive flood control scheme is to be truly effective.en_US
