received the RTLH program in the planning stage did not actively pdrticipqte in the
program since the governrnent only presented rehabilitation program. Their
partictpation in the implementing stdge was considered good since they parttcipated
in providing their energt, financial, and consumption during the implementation of
the program. Their participation in the utilizing stage was considered good since
there were changes in the shape of their houses like the changes tn the floors, walls,
bedrooms, batltrooms, and roofs. Their participation tn the developing stage was bad
since they actually wanted to rehabilitate their houses when they had enough tnoney
and still hoped that the government would support it, either in the inside or the
outside of their houses. Internal factors which influence their participation were
education, income, and inwlvement in social arganization. The inhibiting factors

houses. | en_US |
