Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
The first district of Leyte, Philippines was hit by the strongest typhoon in the world, typhoon Haiyan on November 08, 2013. One year after this tragic incident, this study was conducted to determine if the effect of the typhoon has still an influence in the intention to migrate on the people that were affected by the disaster. It was also intended to determine if personal, household and community characteristics are significantly related with the intention to migrate. Chi-square test showed that there is a significant relation between the effects of typhoon Haiyan and migration intention. Migration intention is also associated with age, sex and civil status but not with educational attainment, occupation, personal and household income. It is not also associated with household size, type of dwelling, presence of migrant in the household, municipality class and area of residence. More women, married people and the younger generation have the intention to leave. The study further revealed that though more women have the intention to migrate, men have stronger desire to leave. The study recommends for the national government and other government agencies to increase rehabilitation activities, to open job opportunities and offer livelihood assistance to prevent the actual migration of the victims.
