Coping mechanisms of household members sharing one-bedroom unit in Gawad Kalinga housing village in San Andres, Manila by Vianca Chandra Q. Fontelar ; Avigail V. Bautista, adviser. 2007. 73 leaves ill. Thesis (BSID)--University of the Philippines Diliman. This study is mainly concerned on how the household members sharing one-bedroom unit in (Gawad Kalinga) 'Hiyas ng Maynila' cope when performing their personal activities in small bedroom. There were twenty-six respondents from ten households drawn in GK housing who were asked to rank their bedroom activities according to their level of importance. They were grouped as Couples and Children. The overall ranking results are as follows: (1) Sleeping and Resting, (2) Studying, (3) Dressing/Undressing, and (4) Reading for Leisure. As for the couples' ranking, Lovemaking activity ranked second to Sleeping and Resting as highly important. The respondents develop certain coping mechanisms to perform their personal bedroom activities while another member is using the bedroom. These can be categorized into three: (1) Carrying on with the activity without disturbing each other's privacy, (2) Waiting for their turn, and (3) Doing the activity someplace else. The results of the study show that housing units provided for these families do not have enough space to accommodate the activities of household members sharing the bedroom. Thus, the study will serve as an eye-opener for GK organizers and planners on the situation of families living in this housing community. The research serves as a post design evaluation of public housings provided to underprivileged families. It will encourage further researches on the interrelationship of interior design and public housing. Public housing Philippines. Personal space. Bautista Avigail V.
