Evaluations
Economic / Financial Effectiveness
The materials used for ATS structures are inexpensive and are readily available [2].
Technical Feasibility
ATS structures are designed to be user-friendly but prior training for volunteers and LGU staff can make the setting-up easier and faster. Technical knowledge on construction can be advantageous. [2]
Social Acceptability
Marikina's modular tents serving as humane temporary shelter were well-appreciated by evacuees. The tents with its top open for ventilation and closed on all sides for privacy can accommodate five to seven persons. [4]
