520 3 _aAs the trend on Violence Against Women (VAW) has not decreased in recent years, shelter homes are put in place to provide respite and protection to survivors from their perpetrators. However, most shelters are only built to become temporary refuge for survivors, paying little attention to the humane aspect of space and its ability to promote supportive healing and empowerment. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of the principles of Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) in the design of three existing shelters in Davao City. Through purposive sampling, a total of fifty-seven residents and fifteen in-house staff were selected to participate in the study. The study utilized Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) as an analytical lens to assess the quality of spaces through its five principles: Safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment. Primary data were collected through user profile survey, in-situ direct observation, key informant interview, recovery preference survey, and Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) survey. Other supporting literature related to the topic was used as secondary data to validate the reliability of the study. The data gathered were analyzed through content analysis, descriptive analysis, activity analysis, and sentiment analysis. The results of the study revealed ten pertinent themes relating to the survivor’s perception of space through the principles of trauma-informed care: ‘Basic Security Features is a Must’, ‘Ensuring Well-lit Spaces’, ‘Outdoor Privacy’, ‘Allowing Co-creation of Spaces’, ‘Making Room for Animals’, ‘Trust through lockers, signs, and glass’, ‘Forming sensory boundaries’, ‘Supporting their Aspirations’, ‘Opportunities for reflection and solitude’, and ‘Integration before Reintegration’. The outcomes of the study had shed light on methods in improving the quality of spaces within shelters in hopes of creating a humane environment for the survivors.
