The study sought to determine whether there had been changes in the levels of living and aspirations of the settlers as a result of resettlement, and to examine the factors related to their levels of living and aspirations.

A total of 118 settler-residents of the Bagong Lipunan Settlement (Zone F) constituted the sample of the study. Frequency counts, percentages, means, standard deviations, chi-square and t-test were the statistical techniques used in the study.

Most of the settlers were married with a mean age of 45,13 years. Majority of them belonged to nuclear households with a mean size of 7.15 members, More than hal? considered farming as their primary occupation before and after resettlement,

The results of the several indicators which were used to measure levels of living revealed that majority of the settlers raised their levels of living after resettlement, particularly from the low to the middle levels, Their levels of aspiration, however, remained the same before and after resettlement with the great majority having aspirations falling within the middle level, The main goal in life before resettlement was to own a home lot and/or farm lot while after resettlement, to educate children.

Levels of living was found to have a significant direct relationship with such factors as rural-urban orientation, main occupation of spouse, presence/absence
of employed children in the household and farm income,

Aspirations was found to have a significant direct relationship with educational attainment and rural-urban orientation, and a significant inverse relationship
with productivity.

Levels of living was not significantly related with aspirations before resettlement while after re-settlement, these two factors were found to have a highly significant direct relationship.
