Main Entry -- Personal Name San Luis, Gladys B. Local Call Number LG993.5 2006 A7 S25 Title Statement A comparative study of Muslim and Christian urban settlements in Cotabato City / Gladys B. San Luis General Note Thesis (BS Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Mindanao Summary, Etc. Settlement segregation is a natural phenomenon between social and cultural groups. Although some groups may not choose to physically separate themselves from those with less power. In 1989, 87.32% of the Cotabato City's entire population lived in the urban areas. It is self-evidently clear that competition in urban services exist. Also there had been a 27% increase in Muslim population and a 10% decrease in the population of Roman Catholics from 1990 to 2000. The study therefore, seeks to describe how Muslims and Christians situate themselves within Cotabato City, and to prove the segregation of settlements of the two conflicting cultures. Also it seeks to compare Muslim and Christian urban settlements in terms of its physical and socio-economic conditions and to correlate the identified indicators of segregation with their preferences in the physical urban community design. Architectural concepts and designs for a preferred community development are suggested based on the overall findings of the study. Through field visits and photo documentation the study revealed that all barangays within the CBD are in poor physical conditions ( no proper drainage system, poor housing conditions, etc. ) and all the muslim-dominated Christian dominated barangays, however, are located at inner urban areas where basic utilities and facilities are existent but still needs improvement, It is also revealed that regardless of the cultural dominance of the five (5) barangays studied, Muslim dwellers are located at the barangay periphery while Christian dwellers are found at the inner/central part of the barangay. Surveys were conducted to know specific preferences of selected muslims and Christian dwellers for community design. In social aspects, interviews and surveys further revealed that Christians and Muslims social relations are clearly not of friendly or trusting kind. Christians respondents have prejudiced views of Muslims and their culture. In this sense, the proposed project is an Islamic community development that not only provides appropriate utilities and opportunities and venues for livelihood enhancement but also a community that celebrates, not discriminates, the Islamic culture and way of life.

Calderon Main Entry -- Personal Name Calderon, Jee Rose G. Physical Description 187 leaves General Note Thesis (BS Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Mindanao Summary, Etc. This paper presents a microclimate-based design guidelines for residential development within Davao City. With this study, quality designed and cost-effective residential structures will be developed. Thus, giving the occupants the comfort and satisfaction they need in their everyday lives. The microclimates of three areas of the city (urban area, urban fringe, and rural hinterlands) were established thru existing climatological data, land use maps, vegetative maps, and topographical maps. Analysis of the established microclimates for the three areas showed that the City Proper has the warmest ambient temperature (average 27.9 C) and the rural hinterland the coolest (average 22.6 C). Humidity levels for the three areas all averaged at 81 %. The feeling of discomfort is mainly attributed to heat and high humidity levels. Applying passive design principles, microclimate elements were either modified or adopted to achieve the best use of the design elements so as to provide comfort and energy efficiency.

Summary, Etc. Security threat is one among the several worldly problems that need to be addressed. Security issues are not just for the policemen or government to be acted with, general public as well should be involved in responding to such activity. Crimes, such as theft, robbery, espionage, bombings, murder, and other petty crimes like vehicular accidents, trespassing, abusing of authority endanger the lives of people and threaten the built environment. But despite this, security as a design requirement has often been inadequately addresses and inadequately funded. Architectural vulnerability is one major factor that affects security in a certain place. An open space like the seaports, a transport terminal with no boundaries aside from its surrounding water and docks are one of the biggest targets of terrorism. Aside from its architectural vulnerability, numbers of people are observed in the area for a certain period of time. With this security threats, passengers have their own sentiments or views regarding the present situation and physical design of the place and may behave differently with their environment. This research aimed to study how behavior is affected by security issues as well as to eliminate or minimize security problems in seaports for a safe environment of transient users. From the gathered data, the lack of facilities permit people to isolate themselves and for these people to feel secured, they chose to stay inside their car or away from the rows. Second is the ingress and egress of pedestrian and vehicle in the seaport influences the traffic movement in the area. In this sense the proposed project is a security-based design of seaport that fits to the perception of the Mindanaon's peaceful and stressful environment within.

Valdez Physical Description 110 leaves Summary, Etc. War has been recurring incident in Mindanao. In Cotabato Province, major wars have been fought between the military and other groups for decades. However, those who are caught in the crossfire suffer the most. Major population displacements occur whenever war breaks out. Evacuation camps swell overnight, commencing yet another hardship to these war-displaced people. In light of this, the study therefore seeks to describe the conditions of displaced people when a war occurs: their situation in evacuation camps, the impacts of displacement in different aspects of their lives and how they situate themselves with the changes that occur every time they are displaced. Also, it digs through the efforts done by the government and other aid agencies to help these war-displaced people. Through library and internet research, and interviews with authorities and informants, a needs assessment is derived. This then used to know the spatial requirements of these people and what kind of environment they need after being displaced. Through analysis of data gathered and interview answers, a project proposed to provide these people with a transitory community given that they are appalled by relocation houses given to them and taking into consideration their nature of going back to their homelands. This transitory community was conceptualized based form the key concepts identified from the needs assessment. Structures provided in the community make use of light-weight materials and mostly are easy to assemble and restore. Major structures and spaces provided are foldable dwelling units, multipurpose halls, common toilets and baths, common cooking and dining areas. The community will have spaces where they can perform basic daily activities as well as their cultural practices. These will enable displaced people to maintain their cultural integrity despite limitations caused by war. Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Menorias Physical Description 99 leaves Summary, Etc. People like beaches: their desire for property along this sensitive fringe of land is great. In their efforts to maintain their homes and their beaches, people change beaches, and one way in which they do is by considering seawalls and other structures such as property barriers. Public conflicts arise, especially relating to access to beaches, as more and more of the coastal lands are being taken up by private owners who want to have total exclusive of their ownership. To preserve the privacy owners fence off the entire area owned and prohibit the local islanders from crossing the beachfronts to get to the sea. Often, the social and economic conditions of the community involved are neglected in the process of coastal development. Therefore, the objective of this study is to know the impacts of beachfront property barriers to the coastal habitat, livelihood and recreational activities of the community along the Samal coastline. Community along the coastline of Catagman was surveyed using two questionnaires, perceptive and quantitative. Based on hierarchical cluster analysis 5 groups of stakeholders were identified. It was found out that majority of the population in the study area belongs to group 3 which were mostly fishermen and others whose means of living depend on the sea. Therefore the needs of these group should be prioritized. A concept of ?Borderless Beachfront Development? was applied to cater the needs of the group. Six (6) adjacent beachfront lots of different owners were developed. They were taken as one big development but maintaining each others territory was taken into consideration.

Local Call Number LG993.5 2008 A7 B35 Title Statement A low-impact ecotourism development through an ecologically sensitive design / Mishelle B. Baldove Physical Description 135 leaves Summary, Etc. The concept ecotourism, also known as ecological tourism, is not new in the Philippine context. The Ecotourism Society defines it as ?responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people?. It typically involves travel to destinations where flora, fauna, and cultural heritage are the main attractions. Ecotourism promotes sustainability of the biological diversity, protects the ecosystem and it has socio-economic benefits for the local communities. Because of the country's tropical environment, ecotourism developments and ecological conservation have been employed by the government of decades, which is why Philippines has become one of the tourist destinations in Asia. But because of many anthropogenic activities in the country such as forest denudation, kaingin system, and mining in particular, the ecotourism industry slowly declines. Ecotourism might economically beneficial but can have drastic impact to the environment. The aim of this research is to create an ecotourism development with the lowest impact to the natural environment of the site. Furthermore, enhancing the natural and built environment for the people and natural habitat. The proposed ecotourism project for Taal Falls ecotourism site in the Municipality of Tampakan, South Cotabato is a complex for recreational and research/educational purposes. The proposed project is basically focused on providing adequate amenities for ecotourism activities with the least possible impact to the site system. The recreational facility would cater the basic needs of tourists visiting the site. It would also introduce other interesting activities such as nature viewing and adventures for nature enthusiasts. The projects aims to advocate environmental awareness and offer education to people about the ecology which can be achieved by providing an integrated research facility. The research facility is composed of lecture hall, exhibit area, and the research area. Buildings and spaces for aquaculture and horticulture are integral part of this facility. It aims to produce agro-products to generate more income for the proposed project. It will serve also as a source of livelihood for the people of the community.

Local Call Number LG993.5 2009 A7 C37 Title Statement Optimal utilization of renewable resources towards a sustainable and ecological village model / Alexis Ken S. Cartagenas Physical Description 199 leaves Summary, Etc. Development is undeniably associated with construction and the built environment; along with it is the consumption of natural resources by land modification, manufacture of materials and systems, the construction process, energy requirements and waste products that result from operation, occupation and renewal. The built environment in the context of energy and material utilization is a major precursor in resource depletion and environmental degradation. The study aims to answer questions on optimal use of renewable energy and materials which inherent on the site. The objective of the study is to design an eco-village model composed of eco-houses powered by solar-wind hybrid system with a ?breathing wall? to ensure thermal comfort and other key components aiding the overall design, optimizing the utilization of renewable energy sources and materials. The study is composed of two parts; experimental for the first part and for the second part, costing and computations. The experimental parts involves Wind Test which utilizes a wind tunnel for observing smoke flow through the ?breathing wall?. It also involves Heat Gain Test to determine the significance of filling the bamboo culms with rice hulls for thermal insulation. Lastly, a Crack Method Analysis is performed to determine the heat removal ability of the ?breathing wall?. The second part comprising of the comparative costing (Life Cycle Analysis) and computations tackles the economic and power generation aspect of the power systems (solar and wind power). Results shows that the breathing wall promotes good ventilation, has lesser heat gain due to the rice fill, and removes almost 100 percent of sensible heat in a definite volume of space. The result of comparative costing and computational shows that the sized solar-wind hybrid system is capable of supplying the energy demand and has a positive return of investment. The site chosen for the study's application is an abandoned quarry in the hilly area of Brgy. Matutungan, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. Good exposure to sun and favourable wind, scenic vista and clean surrounding are the major qualifications that were considered. The planning of the eco-village model from concept to drawings was made to be ecologically sensitive and sustainable, to have the least environmental footprint if ever applied. It was programmed to function not based merely in aesthetics but as somehow comparable to an organism composed of different systems, each having its won function. The outputs of the study of the buildings characterized by ?breathing walls? and majority of the materials are natural. The power demand of site activities is supplied by the sized solar-wind hybrid system. Site utilities and facilities play different functions like in waste management, water supply, food production and livelihood, and pest, pollution, and erosion control at he same time work together and create energy to promote a more self-sufficient community Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Local Call Number LG993.5 2010 A7 C33 Title Statement Davao International Airport as multi-modal interchange node: space morphology studies for an airport gateway terminal in Davao City / Desiree Joy L. Cabiles Physical Description 186 leaves Summary, Etc. With Davao City evolving into a leading metropolis in the southern Philippines and given its airport's distance from business centers and tourist destinations, the need for an adequate and efficient transport system near the airport is evident. This thesis project seeks to develop a functional design for a proposed multi-modal land transport terminal near the Davao International Airport (DIA). In order to generate a holistic and well-organized design for an Airport Gateway Terminal, four variables in space morphology were used: space syntax, wayfinding, security, airport users' transport needs. Space syntax analyses quantified the existing spatial system of the research area and found that spaces outside the Passenger Terminal Building (PTB) are poorly integrated. Moreover, wayfinding cues observed at the Davao International Airport are inadequate to guide airport users. According to key informant interviews, the existing layout of the DIA is primarily due to security measures applied to prevent congestion of people near exit and empty points of the building. Having generated facts on security management and space planning, the proponent concludes that the PTB could be made more accessible to passengers by building an Airport Gateway Terminal at the airport's land-side area, properly integrating it with the existing spatial system. For higher security, departure and arrival areas should be separated, applying first and second layers of security barriers to control crowd congestion Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Singao HOA1 resettlement village, Kidapawan City / Gizelle Grace D. Ambasan Physical Description 139 leaves Summary, Etc. In the Philippines, the government is trying to address the problem on housing by providing the slum dwellers, informal settlers and squatters a formal through a one-step regularization process. In this case, these people are directly provided with formal housing without ?struggle?. The beneficiaries were not fully involved in any planning processes done by the government and so the subsequent development faced numerous problems. The beneficiaries lack sense of ownership on the built environment provided to them. The main objective of this study is to develop a planning process using the concept of community participation that would engage the community in Socialized Planning and Housing Design in Brgy. Singao Home Owners Association 1 Resettlement Villiga, Kidapawan City. Workshops were conducted with the members of the community. This approach primarily involved the participation of the community in decision-making in the design processes. The results of the workshops are: (1) consolidated site development plan that could cater to 135 households; (2) three types of housing units, namely duplex, two-storey and one storey residential units.

Babia Physical Description 243 leaves Summary, Etc. The urbanization process causes most of the informal settlers and slum dwellers reside in urban centers and its fringe. This trend results in land insecurity and disaster prone housing set-ups. Moreover, low-cost housing organized by the government cannot fully provide housing units for the low-income families due to its high monthly payments and attained user's satisfaction. The researcher had conducted a study which aims to determine the most affordable building materials used in housing. Through participatory process, the desired site planning, house design and the possible materials to be used were established by the respondents of the study and further was consolidated and finalized by the researcher. According to the data collected, the cheapest building materials are the interlocking compressed earth block for the firewalls, and coconut fiber board for the interior and exterior walls. Yet, the total amount of the house is still far beyond the monthly income of the respondents. In addition, the whole construction is divided into different phases. Each phase is determined through its total cost, materials used and the time frame of construction Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Banayo Physical Description 166 leaves Summary, Etc. Davao City Overland Transportation Terminal is presently located at one of the built-up areas in the city. The terminal was proposed to be situated in some part of the Diversion Road. The reason for relocating the facility was due to the proliferation of transportation issues on urban built-up area, such for instance was the congestion of people and automobiles around the existing terminal location. The system of repositioning the terminal facility is the mathematical calculation of the traffic distribution among the two given locations, namely, at Ecoland (terminal's existing location) & Diversion Road ( the proposed terminal location). The method used is the Gini Coefficient location approach (Chapter V). The impact of the location method in this particular study was basically, to provide and show the difference of the concentration in the given locations. The lesser the traffic concentration of a location, the advantageous it is for a terminal spot. Gini Coefficient in this case, reaps off the advantage of location with lesser traffic distribution. Another importance of the terminal's relocation was it's another way of extending one of the legs of urban sprawl out of the inner city spaces. Urban sprawl is a healthy form of urban development for the city considering the land area of Davao. It favors outer city development. Relocating the terminal facility outside the main city belt, enables inner city roads to only cater inter-modal transportation means and some private vehicles that may include cargo trucks for any private business purposes. In addition, the proposed terminal location will open routes for jeepneys which will serve commuters going to and from the terminal facility to the city proper. Moreover, in order to provide a suitable terminal facility to the users, the research went through space programming. The study area was the relationships among the existing terminal spaces. These relationships were further adapted into the new terminal spaces in terms of space adjacency and new approaches in space planning. Modification were done in order to suit the design concept presented in the translation part of the study ( Chapter X). Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Marzon Physical Description 222 leaves Summary, Etc. The feeling of safety and security, and the claims for territory of an individual depends on the presence of suitable characteristics of physical environment for human habitation. The absence of these relevant characteristics will result to the feeling of insecurity and discomfort, and indefensible territory. This theory of Defensible Space by Oscar Newman was the foundation as well as the starting point of this study. The goal of this study was to promote safety and security and reduce possibility of the occurrence of crime in slum and squatters settlements in Davao City through the proper and effective use and control of the built environment. It was the specific goal of this study to evaluate the current conditions of organic development and its users' perception on matters concerning the settlement they live in as a basis for reinforcing defensible space by proposing a community design that would address these concerns. This thesis was based on a qualitative methodology for gathering and analyzing data wherein adult members of the study areas were required to answer survey questionnaires inquiring about the level of safety and security of their communities as well as their views on the vulnerability of elements and conditions present in their living environment. After the data were gathered and analyzed, it was concluded that safety and community control are relatively low in slum settlements with a bigger land area compared to squatter settlement with a smaller land area. It was also found that the level of territoriality in a slum is very high. Majority of the residents preferred a single detached housing unit made of permanent and sturdy materials.

Magdadaro Physical Description 230 leaves Summary, Etc. Davao City population is growing, but its land area is not. This fact, though not alarming at the moment because of Davao City's large area, will be evident in the near future when the population will be expected to double in 24 years. A need to provide these new arrivals with housing areas and sufficient food without spending too much on food transport cost would be more cost efficient. This study which aims to address the future problems of food and land shortage dwells mainly on the integration of vertical farms and commercial areas on multi-storied residential buildings in Davao City to both produce food for and give shelter to residents with the least land footprint in an urban setting. For this building to be feasible, the most efficient floor area ratio of the residential to commercial to farm areas will be calculated. The basis for obtaining the most efficient ratio were: (1) its capacity to supply 75% of the residents with food, and (2) that it should generate a gross profit greater than that of a typical condominium building in Davao City in 5 years. The result of the computations shows that the integration of farm to mixed-use residential-commercial buildings in Davao City is feasible. The most efficient residential: Commercial: Farm floor area ratio was computed to be 50:5:20. this means that 50% of the building's gross floor area should be alloted to residential units, 5% to commercial units, and 20% to farm units. This ratio could sufficiently supply 75% of the residents with food all year round and at the same time, generate greater profit in five years Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Yucamco Physical Description 179 leaves Summary, Etc. Tourism is a leading business and is the powerful force in the socio-economic development of many countries. One type of tourist destination is theme parks which, today, are star players in the tourism industry. They are the main motivators for tourism trips to many destinations. Theme parks reflect the identity of the owner?s home country. Disneyland and Universal Studios are examples of successful theme parks targeted by tourists. Aside from it being a tourist trap and magnet, theme parks can be established as a landmark in the southern islands of the Philippines that can have the potential to be made known globally. It can also improve the economy of a city due to provision of jobs and business for the locals. Davao City also boasts a rich culture and historical background that are slowly fading due to globalization and the modernization of the lives of Davaoenos. From historical, natural, cultural, and as well as its annual activities, Davao City has much to offer to its visitors. This study aims to explore and present the cultural richness and the history of Davao City in a way that will entertain as well as educate the visitors. The proposed project will feature the different tourism elements of Davao City. Since Davao City has limited area for recreational zones, the most suitable site for this project is the Magsaysay Park area. With considerably smaller area compared to other theme parks, the major zones based on the history of Davao City can be housed in one structure to save space. This one structure is inspired from an icon of Davao City which is the Durian. Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Physical Description 175 leaves Summary, Etc. The Philippines is located near the equator and therefore has a tropical climate. The hot and humid environment make Filipinos heed thermal comfort to be able to function less stressfully and more efficiently and comfortably using various means and methods from fans, to air conditioning system. However, with the increasing cost of fuel and energy production, operating thermal control devices is getting costly and is generating greater impacts to the environment. With the growing call for sustainability, a need for alternative thermal control devices arose. This study aims to introduce geoexchange systems, especially geothermal cooling, as an alternative for providing thermal comfort in a tropical environment. Geoexchange systems harness the energy of the earth, specifically its subsurface temperature, to transfer heat from the ground to the structure or from the structure to the ground. This study needs to determine the range of the subsurface temperature of the existing environment to use in calculating the range of heat absorption the ground will be able to handle and the needed length of the ground loop to for the geothermal cooling system to function efficiently. A series of guidelines must also be created to make the installation and application of geoexchange systems efficient and effective. For a higher efficiency of the system, lower subsurface temperature is desirable. However, if subsurface temperature is warmer, longer ground loops may be installed to achieve the same effectively as lower temperatures. According to the data collected and calculated, the subsurface temperature ranges from 27C -30C. Polyethylene is the advisable material for ground loop pipes. Methods of excavation and types of loops will vary depending on available lot. To minimize the lot allotment for the ground loop of a geothermal cooling system, a vertical slinky form may be adapted for the ground loop.

Ravelo III Physical Description 276 leaves Summary, Etc. Houses on stilts and tree houses are traditionally believed to be a practical solution in meeting design problems experienced in tropical residences. Today, these traditional design strategies are vanishing; thus the study aims to revive such strategy as a conceptual architectural form. The concept focuses on the natural supports used in tree houses. It is about the topology such natural entities possess. This topology is a geometric pattern of branched forms in which branches grow from other branches and create its totality as a tree. These natural structures have a certain development of form which helps them withstand environmental stresses such as physical, chemical and biotic stresses. In study, plant topology is considered as an architectural structure, wherein engineering analyses are conducted to extract structural information. Flows of forces inside and outside every structure are determined. Causes and forms of failure are identified for prediction of possible actual outcomes. In the end, the outcome is its structural integrity. The entire sequence is termed as biomimicry. It is about using natural entities as design bases for objects including structures that would benefit man. The main problems considered in the process are the structural integrity including the effects of scale to the strength of a structure ? the size effect. With this, architectural structures can be formed that they rise with supports based on plant topology. Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Ignalig Physical Description 316 leaves Summary, Etc. Bamboo plays an important role in the Philippine history. It grows almost everywhere in the regions. Early Filipinos and even people from other countries consider bamboo as very useful in almost all aspects of life especially as construction materials for building houses when nails, concrete and other modern materials are not yet available. However, with the rise of modernization, Filipinos tend to cope to the new environment and shift from the traditional to the modern construction ways of forgetting the traditional methods on the bamboo construction, particularly on its connections. Bamboo connections: Integrating the Traditional and Modern Bamboo Joinery in Building Construction uses a descriptive research approach in identifying the bamboo joint connections developed traditionally by the five Lumad in Davao City namely: (1) Bagobo-Tagabawa, (2) Bagobo-Klata, (3) Obu-Manuvu, (4) Ata Manobo, and (5) Matigsalug. In the research, only one bamboo species named Gigantochla levis (Blanco) Merr, or locally known as Botong is used in the study in order to eliminate variables during the tests for shear and moment of both traditional and modern connections. Furthermore, Soak Diffusion is used as a treatment for all the culms used of the selected species to protect the bamboo culms from insect attracts which could later damage the whole structure. According to the data collected from the shear and moment tests for both traditional and bolt connections, the individual traditional lashing joint connections can resist 1kN before the first break while 1kN to 21 kN can be resisted by the individual modern bolted joint connections on its first break. This means that modern bolted connections show good results which can be integrated to the traditional method suitable in designing bigger structures.

Salarda Physical Description 253 leaves Summary, Etc. Markets play a very important role in our cities for it is usually the most visited commercial establishment. Usually markets are described as unorganized, untidy, and smelly. This study gives answers to this said dilemma through the use of the green building design components (site selection, energy efficiency, resource efficiency, and indoor environmental quality). The problem of the study is mainly the Kidapawan City Mega Market. In achieving architectural solutions to the issues in the market, the existing imageability and green building principles implied in the market was assessed. Since the study is the rehabilitation of the Mega Market, the assessment of the site selection was omitted. From the evaluation of imageability through photo ratings, surveys and interviews, it was found out through the SPSS Dendogram that the main problem in the existing market are the use of materials, provision of valuable spaces, and adjacency of spaces. Results of surveys and interviews also pointed out how poorly the organization of the Mega Market is. On the other hand, through surveys and interviews, it was observed that the market was using too much energy since natural light cannot enter inside the buildings. The market is somehow resource efficient given that the materials they used are economical however these said materials need high maintenance. Since the market has little openings and that natural light and air cannot pass through the buildings, the indoor environmental quality of the market is low. Most of the market-goers are not at ease given that there are major parts inside the buildings where there is not enough light and thus making it unsafe. Also the overall zoning of the stalls are also weakly planned. Spaces were not properly grouped together dispersing foul or irritating odors inside the buildings. With these said issues, proper solutions were proposed and implemented in the design of the new market. For imageability, there is a major alteration in the over-all design of the market from the smallest stall to the whole site. From green building design components, large openings, skylights, the use of corrugated translucent PVC sheets, the use of a 21-W CFL and LEDs in all of the stalls, use of rainwater and sunlight properly, use of economical but less maintenance materials, high ceilings, wider hallways, provision of overhangs and louvers, use of smell barriers such as shrubs and flowers, green wall and the provision of a small vertical farm. This study aims to introduce new and better market design rather than those, messy and disorderly ones. Also, it aims to create an imprint that markets can be reconstructed to have a better image. With this study, Kidapawan City will not only gain economically. It will also be known for being an exemplary market. Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis

Pagaduan Main Entry -- Personal Name Pagaduan, Leslie Tom M. Physical Description 105 leaves General Note Thesis (BS Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Mindanao Summary, Etc. Open spaces are vital elements in our environment. The y perform necessary and positive functions: they provide recreational opportunities for the people, protect physical resources like water bodies, agricultural and timber lands and the different species they contain, and ultimately affect a wide range of economic development from employment to tourism. However, in the constant confrontation between open space conservation and development, construction emerges as the tougher contender, open space are always vulnerable to demands from development interests that lead to the creation of urban spaces and environmental degradation. This kind of open space problem is evident in Davao City along in its one of the most important natural legacies ? the Davao River. This study identifies open spaces along the Davao Riverbanks and provides approaches to achieve a balance of the built and natural environments through open space development. The urban and natural character of the riverbanks along the Davao River differs, from a densely-developed riverbank in the urbanized area, to a more naturalized riverbank in the sub-urban areas. Also inherent with them are varying features, constraints, and functions such as every riverfront is different and requires planning solutions appropriate to its unique conditions, Davao riverfront and open space planning should reconcile theses defining elements with environmental design and strategies through ?Green Approaches?, in order to redress the balance between development and open spaces, draw new investments to the city, and most of all, enhance the river's ecological systems.

Venteres Physical Description 129 leaves Summary, Etc. Housing is a problem since the birth of the first civilization. Due to urbanization, affordable decent housing becomes more unattainable for the low-income groups in urban areas. In this current phenomenon, the urban poor resort to illegal settlements or slum areas endangering both heir lives and natural environment. The researcher had conducted a study which aims to determine if the existing housing strategies correspond to the needs of the low-income-group. Upon investigating this matter, some important findings are realized and have enlightened the researcher to the real issues. With the present housing programs and strategies, more problems are created and this is supported by the gathered data. Based from the gathered data, the researcher wishes to propose that the planned unit developments (PUD) can be the best alternative in housing the urban poor. Larger houses for less money, more choice of houses types, and avoid overcrowding are some of the advantages of this strategy. Sustainability is one of the major issue when housing low-income groups, with this regard the researcher wants to integrate some low cost technologies in designing housing developments for the urban poor. These low cost technologies would help the urban poor households in cutting their energy expenses such as water and electricity.

Title Statement Establishing sustainable floating eco-tourism village in the landscape of Agusan marsh / Roxanne Z. Urbiztondo Physical Description 137 leaves General Note Thesis (BS Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Mindanao Subject Added Entry -- Topical Term Architecture--Undergraduate Thesis Summary, Etc. Agusan Marsh is identified as one of the most significant wetlands in the Philippines, its landscape and so as the unique phenomenon of floating villages have too become an ecotourism site. Apparently, floating houses and their architectural aspects in Philippine context have not yet been fully grasped. Technological and architectural vocabulary to describe and create attractive floating neighborhoods is still poor as there is also the need to recognize the relationship of floating villages with the landscape, the climate response, and the importance of achieving ecological environmental and human interactions in order for sustainability. The approach included the study of architectural character of floating houses present in Agusan Marsh with particular attention to its building construction, materials, form and design, spaces, and other considerations. The natural contexts in Agusan Marsh were also observed with attention on the quality and condition of its natural landscapes, on the landscape elements and other environmental factors, Qualitative research method was used to analyze the design style and architectural motivation of floating houses. Local natural features offer the starting point for the floating house construction. Floating houses are usually made of materials locally known and available to Agusan Marsh, construction basic except for the ingenious of floating foundation and describing them fully have resulted to organization and application to design and creation of concepts for the intended creative design project. Floating neighborhoods require smart building and site planning and if likely new technical accomplishment for a sustainable floating structure. Integration of vernacular trends and designing sustainable floating houses as suitable into synthesized solutions for the landscapes in Agusan Marsh, users and climate that meet cultural needs were made.
