Yangon Informal Settlements – Resettlement Programme (YIS-RP): Survey II Report Format EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is based on findings from a survey conducted in five informal settlements in Hlaing Thar Yar, and it aims to assess the possible upgrading of housing and settlements. The survey consisted of household interviews, case studies, ward administrators interviews, community organizations interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs). While the household survey forms the basis of the report, a number of insights were derived from the other tools, providing an in-depth understanding of the situation. In some cases, respondents had conflicting views, for example, most household respondents believe their community is united and that they often participate in community activities, but the organizations interviewed said communities are not united and participation in group activities is low. Such difference in views are important and discussed, whenever relevant, as they illustrate the complexity of the issues discussed.
