 Relighting the Jeepney
2AbstractThis paper is an attempt to study the existing lighting configuration of the local jeepney. Due to the limited time (and for more focus), I will be using the
UP-PHILCOA jeepneys
as primary study model. I will, however, still touch on the general and existinginterior configurations of the jeepney through site visits on local manufacturers such as
SaraoMotors, Inc.
The study will be conducted through a mixture of interviews, random passenger and driver surveys and literature research.The psychology of light suggests that interior lighting have the ability to injectsubjective impressions of a space. (e.g. A simple jeepney ride can make us feel uncomfortable,sleepy, or may even bring fear, etc.) I believe that as future architects, we have a responsibilityto continually improve the public realm. I am proposing this paper with the primary goal of  being able to have a chance on enhancing the interior lighting scheme of one of our maincultural icons.

Paper Title
Re-lighting the Jeepney: A Closer look on the Interior Lighting of the UP Philcoa Jeepney
II.Objectives
a.)
to document/classify the existing and most common lighting configuration(s)inside the local jeepney ;
b.)
to suggest schemes and show the importance of good interior lighting for theUP Philcoa jeepney ; and
c.)
to come up with a lighting plan that signifies an environment that is moreinviting, inspiring and secure.
III.Methodology
Data gathering will be done primarily through a combination of 
literature andpersonal surveys
. A light meter will be used to scientifically measure the amount of light inside the jeepney.
Interviews
will also be conducted so as to probe deeper intothe psychology and effects of the existing interior space. A
company visit
(SaraoMotors, Inc.) will be scheduled to observe how a jeepney is built/customized.
IV.Timeframe / Schedule
Date / DayWork PlanWeek 1 (30 June – 4 July)Brainstorming for research topic. (includes thestudy of the feasibility of chosen topic)Week 2 (6 July – 11 July)Letter distribution, set interview schedule. (mustbe able to start the surveys by this time)
