tainable system for the Philippines residences in the presence of floods and other natural disasters , and keeping the country in the developed nations list of the future , and giving its residents an opportunity to a safe land and a better living area .
9 . Conclusions
Every year , the Philippines is economically decreasing because of the infrastructure loss caused by various different natural disasters . In 2014 , more than two billion dollars were recorded as loss , in addition to human lives that are being in danger and facing major risks . The probability of having bigger disasters are increasing based on recent climate change scenarios . It is highly recommended that the government should take an action and start building renovation systems by updating buildings with new sustainable solutions , relevant to most of the developed countries , and by paying costs to improve building systems and to reduce any likely future damages , rather than losing on more and more costs on a yearly basis .
The study has suggested ideas that can be obtained as future sustainable solutions in order to utilize the areas to be livable in the coming years with appreciations from those residents . All suggestions are made for individuals and small scale buildings , and can be carried out as accurate solutions to allow the private companies and individual residents to action upon such proposals , and to also enable them to start their own building constructions , which will not only raise awareness throughout the country , but also motivate other residents and local authorities as well as the government . The study may be expanded in the future for more detailed information and simulation about the AFFS proposal design and system .
