Since the mid-20th century, urbanization has altered the physical landscape and brought social, economic and lifestyle changes to populations worldwide. In the Global South, this has dramatically affected environmental conditions of settlements, communities, and households, with both positive and negative consequences for population health. The objective of this dissertation is to examine processes of urbanization and their effects on community and household environments in Metropolitan Cebu, the Philippines, over a two decade period from 1983 to 2005. In doing so, I integrate tools and perspectives from geography, public health, and information science with those of biological anthropology to develop quantitative and conceptual approaches that address local and historical contingency, spatial and geographic effects, dynamics of change, and heterogeneous outcomes.This study illustrates several pathways forward for anthropological research on urbanization and health. First, I demonstrate how a systematic framework to detect and treat data errors could be used in preparing large complex datasets. Such datasets allow for analyses of urbanization over time and across multiple scales. Second, analyses using spatial characteristics revealed shifts in demographic and spatial patterns of urban growth aligning with economic and political changes in Metro Cebu. Third, by examining dynamics of urban change at the community level, I found a high degree of variability that was not apparent in analyses using static measures. This indicates that the effects of urbanization were heterogeneous, rather than following a uniform pattern of rural to urban transition. It also illustrates that patterns among static urban conditions cannot be extrapolated to characterize change over time. Finally, I found that urban features and urbanization-related characteristics had differing independent associations with household water, sanitation, and hygiene. This suggests that the heterogeneous effects of urbanization in Metro Cebu included the differential distribution of environmental exposure to pathogens. This dissertation builds on previous research in biological anthropology on the health impacts of social and economic change by establishing an updated conceptual approach that moves beyond notions of rural to urban transition, to address complex, contingent, and multidimensional processes of change involved in urbanization.
