摘要：This study focuses on the adjustment of two
lowland ethnic groups of the Philippines, i.e.
the Kapampangans and the Ilokanos, to the
resettlement program set up in the aftermath
of the 1991 Mt Pinatubo eruption and lingering
lahars. Victims from both ethnic groups
challenged the layout of the resettlement site
and the design of the houses. However, the
Kapampangans maintained strong links with
their native village while the Ilokanos proved to
be loosely tied to their territory. The different
adjustments to the resettlement program is traced
to different ethnic histories and cultures. The top-
down and technocratic nature of the resettlement
process failed to consider these ethnic factors.
