Drawing on the adaptation, justice, and resettlement literatures, this study explores the prospects for procedural (who is involved, how they are selected) and distributive justice (how the outcomes are experienced by different groups) in a resettlement project in the coastal city of Iloilo in the Philippines. This project, which sought to reduce flood risks, required the resettlement of 3500 families. The city was lauded locally and internationally and the government intends to replicate it across the country. This study uses a mixed method approach, including 200 household surveys and interviews with government officials, NGO staff, and community members. It finds that while some households experience notable improvements in their housing quality, incomes and climate resilience, the resettlement process exacerbated intra-community inequality and exclusion. It also finds that the distribution of these benefits was a function of political power and pre-existing wealth discrepancies rather than of need. To avoid these mistakes in the future, governments and resettlement planners must take account of how inequality and asymmetries in power shape resettlement outcomes. To do this, questions of procedural, distributive and contextual justice must be brought to the fore.

利用适应，正义和安置的文献，本研究探讨了沿海城市安达卢西亚的一个移民项目中程序性（涉及谁，如何选择）和分配性正义（不同群体如何体验结果）的前景。菲律宾的伊洛伊洛（Iloilo）。该项目旨在减少洪水风险，需要重新安置3500个家庭。这座城市在当地和国际上都受到赞誉，政府打算在全国范围内复制它。这项研究采用混合方法，包括200次家庭调查以及对政府官员，非政府组织工作人员和社区成员的采访。调查发现，尽管有些家庭的住房质量，收入和气候适应能力显着改善，安置过程加剧了社区内部的不平等和排斥。它还发现，这些利益的分配是政治权力和先前存在的财富差异的函数，而不是需求的函数。为了避免将来出现这些错误，政府和移民计划制定者必须考虑权力的不平等和不对称如何影响移民结果。为此，必须突出程序，分配和背景正义的问题。
