Chapter I.1
General Overview
Introduction
What would a building space look and feel like if it were designed to promote psychological and
social well-being? How would it affect the senses, the emotions, and the mind? How would it
affect behavioral patterns and sense of community? For insights, it is useful to look not at
buildings. Environmental psychologists are finding that beauty is not in the eyes of the beholder,
but rather built into their minds. There seems to be strong universal, cross-cultural patterns that
underlie much of what we find beautiful and enjoyable. These patterns have evolved from
primitive habitat preferences that kept our ancestors safe and healthy over the eons of human
evolution.
Psychological trauma is a type of damage to the psyche that occurs as a result of a severely
distressing event. Psychologically traumatic experiences often involve physical trauma that
threatens one's survival and sense of security. Typical causes and dangers of psychological
trauma include harassment, embarrassment, sexual abuse, employment discrimination, brutality,
bullying, domestic violence, being the victim of an alcoholic parent, the threat of either, or the
witnessing of either, particularly in childhood, life-threatening medical conditions, medication
induced trauma. Catastrophic natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, war
or other mass violence can also cause psychological trauma. Long-term exposure to situations
such as extreme poverty or milder forms of abuse, such as verbal abuse, exist independently of
physical
trauma
but
still
generate
psychological
trauma.

Trauma centers provide specialized medical services and resources to patients suffering from
traumatic experience. Appropriate treatment has been shown to reduce the likelihood of death or
permanent fear of patients. Even though trauma centers are within hospitals, they are not

2009120411
intended to replace the traditional hospital and its emergency department for minor injuries. The
major component that differentiates a regular hospital from one that is a trauma center is the
requirement for 24-hour availability of a team of specially trained health care providers who have
expertise in the care of severely trauma patients. These providers may include trauma surgeons,
neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, cardiac surgeons, radiologists and nurses. Specialty
resources may also include 24-hour availability of a trauma resuscitation area in the emergency
department, an operating room, laboratory testing, diagnostic testing, blood bank and
pharmacy. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trauma_center)
Background of the Study

The relationship between trauma and mental illness was first investigated by the neurologist Jean
Martin Charcot, a French physician who was working with traumatized women in the Salpetriere
hospital. During the late 19th century, a major focus of Charcots study was hysteria, a disorder
commonly diagnosed in women. Hysterical symptoms were characterized by sudden paralysis,
amnesia, sensory loss, and convulsions. Women comprised the vast majority of patients with
hysteria, and at the time, such symptoms were thought to originate in the uterus. Until Charcot,
the common treatment for hysteria was hysterectomy. Charcot was the first to understand that
the origin of hysterical symptoms was not physiological but rather psychological in nature,
although he was not interested in the inner lives of his female patients. He noted that traumatic
events could induce a hypnotic state in his patients and was the first to describe both the
problems of suggestibility in these patients, and the fact that hysterical attacks are dissociative
problems
The trauma permanently disturbed the capacity to deal with other challenges and the victim who
did not integrate the trauma was doomed to repeat the repressed material as a contemporary
experience in instead or remembering it as something belonging to the past. Many traumatized
people expose themselves, seemingly compulsively, to situations reminiscent of the original
trauma. These behavioral reenactments are rarely consciously understood to be related to earlier

2009120411
life experiences. Children seem more vulnerable than adults to compulsive behavioral repetition
and loss of conscious memory of the trauma.
Statement of the Problem
Violent trauma and road traffic injuries kill more than 2.5 million people in the world every year.
It has been calculated by the World Health Organization that in 2002 there occurred 1.6 million
violent deaths and 1.2 million deaths from traffic injury, for a combined mortality of 48 deaths per
100,000 population per year. Most trauma deaths occur at the scene or in the first hour after
trauma, with a proportion from 34% to 50% occurring in hospitals. These deaths could be
prevented by optimization of trauma care. Preventability of trauma deaths has been reported as
high as 76% and as low as 1% in mature trauma systems.
The most common critical care errors are related to airway and respiratory management, fluid
resuscitation, neurotrauma diagnosis and support, and delayed diagnosis of critical lesions. It is
imperative for the general surgeon who takes care of trauma patients to know how to deal with
these critical aspects, to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality. (source :

What modern methodologies in terms of building technology should be provided to have

a trauma center through emotional space design?
What are the unique spaces needed to have an effective trauma center?
How will the proponent change the concept of a trauma center?
How does architecture affect the patients medication?

2009120411
Goals, Objectives and Strategies
The proposal will contribute more about health and trauma medication through architectural
design.
To provide necessary facilities and modern building technologies as well as utilities that
can interact together with the users.
To develop the site that is compliment to its surrounding.
To have a trauma center that can help patients to have more improvement than usual.
Significance of the Study
In our technological age, when so many of our social experiences are virtual, the role architecture
can play in the experience of real-time situations is increasingly curious. Architecture can affect
our emotions and what kind of design interventions can be made to help us survive the chaos of
daily life.
The major concern of this proposal is more on its emotional space and wellbeing design part that
will correlates to the design of the entire trauma center. The proposal will provide more facilities
that can help patients to improve more and be comfortable in the facilities. The design phase
should be comfortable, light and inviting. The technical phase should be innovative so that the
users will patronize and will feel better to the proposal.

2009120411
Scope and Limitations
This study will focus on the design in terms of emotional space and wellbeing design,
functionality and building technology of the structure.
The study is limited only for patients who suffer from a trauma that can be solve through
emotional space and wellbeing design of the structure
It will also include the study of space requirements for every cases of trauma.
The study is limited only for pediatric cases.
Assumption
The proposal will benefit many people especially the patients who are undergoing medication for
trauma because the proponent will not only design a trauma center but will add a new concept
for more improvement of patients. The proponent target users will be pediatric patients of trauma
cases. It assumed that the proposal will be effective in the present age today due to the use of
modern methodologies in the design approach. The proposal also targets the calamity victims to
benefit the project. It can help them heal from the past. The proposal will also add an evacuation
center. It can serve as a healing area while they are evacuated. For the pediatric cases, it will be
beneficial for children who suffer from trauma because kids are not denial and they often don't
recognize a traumatic danger until it happens.

2009120411
Conceptual Framework

2009120411
Definition of Terms
Trauma - is an emotional response to a terrible event like an accident, rape or natural disaster.
Immediately after the event, shock and denial are typical. Longer term reactions include
unpredictable emotions, flashbacks, strained relationships and even physical symptoms like
headaches or nausea. While these feelings are normal, some people have difficulty moving on
with their lives.
Hysterectomy - is the surgical removal of the uterus. It may also involve removal of the cervix,
ovaries, fallopian tubes and other surrounding structures.
Physiological - characteristic of or appropriate to an organism's healthy or normal functioning
Neurotrauma - refers to injury to a nerve, especially part of the central nervous system. Severe
neurotrauma can be a serious medical emergency and can lead to paralysis, brain damage, and
death.
Resuscitation - is a term describing the process of correcting physiological disorders in an

acutely unwell patient. It is an important part of intensive care medicine, trauma surgery and
emergency medicine.
Orthopaedic - surgery or orthopaedics is the branch of surgery concerned with conditions

involving the musculoskeletal system.

2009120411
Neurosurgeon - A physician who specializes in surgery on the brain and other parts of the
nervous system.
Radiologists are trained to assist other doctors and specialists to treat their patients by making a
diagnosis and providing treatment using medical imaging.

Build me up: how architecture can affect emotions

In our technological age, when so many of our social experiences are virtual, the role architecture
can play in the experience of real-time situations is increasingly curious. How does architecture
affect our emotions and what kind of design interventions can be made to help us survive the
chaos of daily life?
In a recent conversation with a client, as director of the Northern Office for Research and Design
(NORD) in Glasgow, Scotland, I suggested that architecture often forgets that one of its primary
goals is to trigger an emotion.
We were discussing a new hospice and a Maggies Cancer Caring Centre, part of a network of
drop-in centres in the UK Im working with that aim to help anyone who has been affected by
cancer. While these buildings carry a weight of seriousness due to the circumstances of the
people who arrive to inhabit them, we are mindful of the need to balance these serious issues
and vital care provision alongside the social, spiritual and emotional needs of the patients as part
of our design thinking.
In both projects a small library space becomes a familiar anchor to root the experience of the
building around a quiet place to think.
Quiet space architecture

2009120411
We cluster round Wi-Fi zones, power sockets and screens and have so many of our social
exchanges online. Quiet zones, such as that on the train ride from Glasgow to London, where
electronic and human noise is kept low, are a telling sign that the technological assault on our
senses and on our public sphere is coming under scrutiny.
On a recent train ride in Melbourne, everyone in the train carriage looked up in synchronised
frustration when their phone or tablet signal was lost as the train went into a tunnel. Their gaze
had been fixed on miniature screens for the journey and only a mass concrete structure could
bring them back to the reality of the social surroundings of the carriage.
Wi-Fi and online networking are here to stay but the future may herald the rise of the
architecture of quiet spaces or the library which, as many have argued, are under threat from
online archiving and information searching.
Libraries are serious spaces; usually the older ones have an aura of dignity and restraint.
Historically, the idea was very clear: the library would form part of the civic infrastructure of a
place and the community it served.
Living in an homogenised environment
Train stations have become shopping malls, shopping malls have become town squares, churches
have become pubs and crches, schools have become community centres, homes have become
offices and universities are moving online.
Aesthetics have been stretched to encapsulate so many uses that we now live in a homogenised
environment and find it hard to distinguish one buildings use from its neighbours.
In fact, we barely see most of the architecture that surrounds us, as it becomes a kind of
background hum, to be noticed only when it is exceptionally big, exceptionally ugly, or
exceptionally beautiful.
10

2009120411
Architecture, I think, should still strive to move us, to make us feel a particular way. Like a piece
of music, architecture has the ability to influence mood, yet so much of the foreground to our
streets lacks emotional sensibility.
The craft and the graft of architecture have succumbed to cost-effective, risk averse, quick and
generic solutions. Experimentation the freedom to explore and take risks is a condition for
which people will have to fight in modern society.

Al Maktoum A&E Hospital / Perkins Eastman
Chosen by the Dubai Health Authority and the Department of Health and Medical Services
(DOHMS) to create an advanced A/E hospital, Perkins Eastman designed a facility capable of
providing immediate care for minor- to high-level trauma. An ambulance receiving area is directly
linked to a surgical trauma operating suite and a diagnostic imaging unit with MRI, CT, and X-ray
capabilities. The 300-bed, 85,000 facility includes a large, five-floor nursing unit providing
specialized treatment and care for patients recovering from surgery.

Phoenix Childrens Hospital
Pediatric Trauma Center

The only ACS verified Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center in Arizona
Phoenix Children's Level I Pediatric Trauma Center is Arizona's premier site for the evaluation,
stabilization, treatment, and care of children who have experienced a traumatic injury.
A Level I Pediatric Trauma Center offers the highest level of emergency and surgical care to
patients, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
Phoenix Childrens is equipped to handle the most severely injured children in the shortest
amount of time. Care is waiting for the patient, instead of the patient having to wait for care.
Benefits
Care at a trauma center lowers the risk of death by 25 percent compared to non-trauma centers
Children cared for at a pediatric trauma center have a lower mortality rate and shorter lengths of
stay compared to children cared for at adult trauma centers
Designated trauma centers for children have 24/7 physician specialist coverage for immediate
care of the injured child
Multi-disciplinary care for the most severely injured children

Local Studies:
Philippine General Hospital
The Philippine General Hospital (PGH) is the pioneer in trauma care in the country, being
the first to create a dedicated Trauma Service in 1989. The service has not conducted a
review of its admissions and mortalities since 1992.
The Philippine General Hospital Administration Building is situated along Taft Avenue in
Manila. It was built by architect William E. Parsons in neo-classic style that follows the
Daniel Burnham plan for Manila. This plan included Manila Hotel, Army and Navy Club
and the Philippine General Hospital. These were executed by his successor, Parsons
included who was a city planner in the Philippines during the early period American
colonization in the country. His works was a clear translation of Neoclassicism into a new
hybrid of colonial tropical architecture.

Research Instrument
The proponent used descriptive method in the study. This method, the research involves an indepth study of an individual or group of individuals. Descriptive method often lead to testable
hypotheses and allow us to study rare phenomena. Case studies should not be used to
determine cause and effect, and they have limited use for making accurate predictions
Through personal interview, important information and data are gathered. Relying on opinions
and ideas of the individuals basically is a qualitative method. The proponent also conduct case
study which identifies and investigates the problem.

Interview Results and Discussion

Interviewee Profile:
Name: Dr. Edmundo Lopez
Position: chief/ head
20

2009120411
According to Dr. Lopez, the Las Pinas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Center dont cater
complete trauma cases. They dont have complete facility for some trauma cases. The usual
trauma cases that the hospital handles are the traumas caused by physical injuries. For the
physical injury trauma, surgery and rehabilitation are services that they give. He also mentioned
that patients dont have specific time for recovery in trauma cases. Some patients who recovered
from the injury trauma still go to the center for the rehabilitation. In some cases some patients
stay at their home and the therapist are the one who go to their house. He also mentioned
different programs on how to develop the recovery of trauma. There are lot of rehabilitation
program to help patient recover from trauma. Dr. Lopez said that it is a long process for an adult
to recover from trauma if he or she already experienced it when he or she is still young. Dr.
Lopez suggest that it is better for a patient of trauma to be cure during his childhood days. For
the atmosphere of the facility, Dr. Lopez said that the design should not distract the patient.
Office of the Director
Need Analysis
Based on the studied gathered data, the Las Pinas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Center
with determined character of strength and weakness of the facility. The proponent can determine
the facilities needed for the proposed trauma center. Therefore the proponent will proposed an
emotional space design trauma center an institutionalize center for post trauma for pediatric
21

2009120411
cases. In this proposal, the trauma patients will be guided for healing process through design and
planning.
Chapter I.5 Conclusion and Recommendation
The researcher design used is a qualitative research. The problems stated will be answered based
on the results provided in the study. It should be feasible and there must be a need to do the
proposal. The target market for the proposal is the pediatric cases of trauma. Users will be at
ages of infant to 18 years old.
The recommended research approach must be modern and innovative. The building must have
enough aesthetic that the users can easily identify. The activities inside the center must be
somehow modern in such a way that it can cope up to the modern generation of healthcare
facilities. By means of technology, this will be done by the proponent itself. The emotional space
design and wellbeing of the proposal must also serve as a way of communicating for the users
who will benefit a lot especially the children who suffer from traumatic experiences.

Part II.
Research Focus
Emotional Space Design through Building Design and Building Technology

Introduction
The overall design of the project has a new approach in terms of its spaces to promote the
emotional and wellbeing design part of the proposal. Basically, the proposal has its uniqueness of
spaces relating users activity inside the space.
Innovative Materials
23

2009120411
Figure 1: Interactive patients room at Childrens Hospital at Montefiore
Lighting (both natural and artificial) is an extremely powerful element in design. It is also an
effective parameter for the patient as a powerful regulator of the body and its daily functions.
The quality of lighting in hospitals can positively affect the emotional and medical state of a
patient; it can also support well being and stimulate recovery (Antonakaki, 2009). At spaces such
as corridors, waiting rooms and lobbies lighting and video projections on the walls and floors are
used in a playful way so that hospitalized children can entertain themselves and reduce their
stress levels
Figure 2: Interactive Wall, at Great Ormond Street Horpital, by Jason Bruges studio
The innovative Interactive Musical Wall gives children the gift of a fun distraction when they need
it the most. Another example that includes both light and sound (music) is the Interactive
Musical Wall by the Moment Factory Studio at the waiting room of Montreals CHU Sainte-Justine
Childrens Hospital.
24

2009120411
Figure 3: Interactive Musical Wall, at CHU Ste-Justine Childrens Hospital in Montreal
As it is known, art in the hospital environment is very beneficial because it encourages

the psychology of patients and positively affect the healing process. Many studies and
opinion surveys have proved that visual and performing arts contributed to changes of
mood and easing of stress levels. A very unique example of interactive artwork is the
hospital sculpture that interacts with human heartbeat by Andrew Small and Steven
Almond that was commissioned for the Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital in the UK.
25

2009120411
Figure 4: Interactive Artwork, Royal Manchester Childrens Hospital in the UK, by Andrew Small
and Steven Almond
Several studies show that patients, staff and families are more satisfied with the overall care in
pleasant, clean and attractive settings. Another recent trend is that hospital design focuses in
creating a pleasant and satisfying ambience experience of the space taking in consideration the
overall atmosphere. Stress reduction and stimuli for all the senses through design can be
achieved by numerous methods.
26

2009120411
Figure 5: The Martini Hospital in Groningen.
On the other hand, when pleasant natural views cant be reached directly design and technology
create the proper environment for an ambience experience which will psychologically support the
child. For example in order to reduce the need to sedate young patients and improve the
patient/family care experience, the radiology department at Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh of
UPMC introduced the Adventure Series program, which uses child-friendly, engaging, themebased room designs; multisensory distractions and staff who go out of their way to engage with
patients and use age-appropriate techniques to distract and calm them. The program has
significantly reduced use of sedation, nearly eliminated lengthy waits to schedule computed
tomography scans, enhanced throughput, and increased parent and staff satisfaction.
27

2009120411
Figure 6: The PET/CT theme room at Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh
Up to date materials on the floors and the ceilings at patients rooms but also in other public
spaces of the hospital (corridors, waiting areas, lobbies etc.) enable better hygiene and safer
movement of the patients. Colourful graphics and playful images on the floors give children the
opportunity to feel welcome and at the same time offer positive distractions.
Figure 7: Linoleum and recycled carpet flooring at Dell Childrens Medical Center
The outcomes of contemporary architectural trends in hospital buildings arent the massive
buildings of the past that invaded their surroundings. The exterior of a childrens healthcare
28

2009120411
facility is of great importance. What children experience at the front door of a hospital, will color
the impression of their entire stay. A childrens hospital should be simple and easily
Figure 8: Healing Garden
A Therapeutic Garden is an outdoor garden space that has been specifically designed to meet the
physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the people using the garden as well as their
caregivers, family members and friends.
Figure 9: Evacuation Center
29

2009120411
Emergency evacuation is the immediate and urgent movement of people away from the threat or
actual occurrence of a hazard. Examples range from the small scale evacuation of a building due
to a storm or fire to the large scale evacuation of a district because of a flood, bombardment or
approaching
weather
system. In situations involving
hazardous
materials or
possible
contamination, evacuees may be decontaminated prior to being transported out of the

contaminated area.
Chapter II.1 Rationale

The objective of this research is to focus on the specific study that the proponent will be trying to
achieve. The focus is about the building technology of the proposal. It defines the innovative
design like being emotionally designed trauma center.
The proponent goal in this kind of concept is to change the users activity inside a trauma center.
Normally a trauma center seems to be quiet and lonely, but when the technology arises, it may
somehow change the healing process of the patients when they are inside the center.
Chapter II.2 Principles and Relevance to the Project

The research focus is relevant because it is the main motif of the proposal. Being emotional space
design trauma center for pediatric cases in terms of building technology, it adds appeal to the
space and eliminates the loneliness of a trauma center. It also help patients healing process.
Chapter II.3 Application to the Project

The effectiveness of the proposal will promote better healthcare in the Philippines. The concept
for trauma center today is differ from the old centers. Emotional and wellbeing design for the
trauma center with modern facilities will help patients healing process and gives additional appeal
for the users.
30

2009120411
The overall orientation of the design should also be considered. This will affect the projects visual
marketability and it can contribute to the projects income. The application of the building
technology to the proposal will be very effective since a trauma center relies on its design and
feasibility.
Part III.
Site Identification and Analysis
Chapter III.1 Site Selection Process
Criteria for Site Selection
Site selection plays a vital role for both social and economic activities, from the habitat
choice of our human ancient ancestors to all kinds of present commercial site selection.
Everybody knows that inappropriate site selection leads to heavy losses, but may not very sure
what is the exact importance. Take the business operations as an example, site selection is the
first key factor and directly related to the customer groups, capital investment and recovery,
development strategy. Therefore, making good preparations and analysis on the parameters of
the site selection is absolutely necessary.
In the practical part of the project, the site includes water supply, topography, soil type,
adequate zoning area, drainage, land rights, land owner, orientation, site area, aesthetic value of
the site and technical description. In the economic part of the project, the site criteria focuses on
the business strategy and to have an additional income for the proposal.
This research study includes the compatibility of the proposal to the site and its surrounding. The
site criteria should consider the following:
31

2009120411
The site should be accessible on the major roads surrounding on it.
The site should cater all potential users.
The site must be probably located in middle to high-end lifestyle.
The site should be marketable to all target users and visible to the public
The site should be a vacant lot open for development.
Site Option Description
In this proposal, there were three site options that are suitable in developing the project. Laguna,
Cavite, and Rizal are the potential sites since it caters the quiet and peaceful place that is near
Metro Manila.
Site Selection and Justification
Among all the 3 potential sites mentioned, the chosen site is in Southwood, Bian Laguna. It
caters all the characteristic in the site criteria selection. It has the characteristic where in users
will benefit the most. The main goal of the project is to achieve the marketability and feasibility
within the site. It is also accessible from one of the major roads in Southwood laguna.

and make ample room for development within the framework of the Municipalitys over-all goals
and objectives;
39

2009120411
4. Protect the character and stability of residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, open space
and other functional areas within the Municipality and promote the orderly and beneficial
development of the same; and
5. Guide the local government and the private sector in their development decisions.
Section 4.
General Principles. The LDGS is based on the approved Bian Comprehensive
Land Use and Development Plan as per Resolution No. ___ dated ____.
1. The LDGS reflects the Municipalitys vision of a sustainable industry, tourism, and service
driven economy that will protect the environment and preserve its cultural heritage, as well as a
globally competitive, highly skilled and educated, value oriented citizenry that will be efficiently
provided quality social services and infrastructure facilities.
2. The LDGS recognises that any land use is a use by right but provides however that the exercise
of such right shall be subject to the review standards of the LDGS;
3. The LDGS gives the free market the maximum opportunity to spur the Municipalitys
development within a framework of environmental integrity and social responsibility;
4. The LDGS has been designed to encourage the evolution of high-quality developments rather
than regulating against the worst type of projects;
5. The LDGS has been crafted in a manner that it is fully responsive to the ever-changing
conditions that the Municipality continually face;
6. The LDGS functions as a tool for informed decision making on the part of the land use
administrators by way of providing specific criteria to judge the acceptability of developments;
40

2009120411
7. The LDGS provides a direct venue for community empowerment where the stakeholders
become involved especially in critical development decisions;
8. The regulations in the LDGS are considered as land use management tools that are necessary
to provide a clear guidance to land development in order to ensure the communitys common
good.
ARTICLE IV
ZONE CLASSIFICATIONS
Section 5.
Division into Zones. The Municipality of Bian is hereby divided into five general
zones, namely, Urban Regeneration Zone, Urban Control Zone, Urban Promotion and Management
Zone, Special Economic Zone, and Tourism Development Zone. Said divisions are for the purposes
of the following:
1. implementing the Bian CLUDP;

2. defining specific areas of the Municipality of Bian, each requiring different standards of
development to meet different circumstances present within the zone; and
3. serving the purposes and intent of the LDGS.
Unlike conventional zones, which segregated various land uses, the LDGS allows mixed uses and
places the emphasis on minimising or buffering any nuisance factors between such uses. The
provisions contained herein anticipate the likelihood and desirability of mixing land uses. Further
provisions impose criteria to resolve any possible problems and eliminate what might be negative
impacts where dissimilar uses are located in proximity.
Zones are distinguished according to
allowable land use intensities, which are discussed in detail in succeeding articles.
41

2009120411
Section 6.
Description of Zones. The intent and purpose of each zone is described below.
The regulations governing each zone are specified in the succeeding articles.
1. Urban Regeneration Zone (URZ)
The Urban Regeneration Zone covers the highly urbanised areas that are presently
experiencing a breakdown of utilities and services, vehicular traffic congestion, pollution, high
population densities, and urban decay. This occurs in the oldest sections of the municipality
such as the poblacion, the lakeside, and along the busiest transportation channels (e.g, the
old south road, the PNR Line, and the San Vicente-Poblacion Road. It is considered to have
low development capability primarily because of its susceptibility to flooding and its unstable
soils. This zone has been delineated to control further intensification of building density and
to introduce urban development strategies that could prevent its further deterioration that
could also lead to an overall decline in real estate as well as cultural value.
The LDGS provides that the URZ shall be a predominantly low-to-medium intensity
development area that would discourage the construction of high rise buildings and
encourage more landscaped open spaces.
All new developments shall carefully consider
drainage conditions as well as minimise impervious surface conditions.
The Urban Regeneration Zone is further segregated into three sub-zones, namely:
Urban Regeneration Zone 1 (URZ-1)
This consists mainly of the Poblacion area but has extended to other high-density areas along
the south road and other major local roads leading to and from the Poblacion. This area hosts
the municipal church, the central business district, and the old prime residential area of Bian.
42

2009120411
Although many uses are allowed in this zone, it is preferred that there be a shift in the land
using activities in the plaza and adjoining areas into commercial and retail uses.
Within this zone is the Poblacion, and portions of Barangays Sto. Domingo, San Jose, Casile,
San Antonio, Tubigan and Canlalay which are either near the Poblacion or along the National
Highway (South Road).
Urban Regeneration Zone 2 (URZ-2)
This zone consists of the areas immediately around URZ-1 and along the San VicentePoblacion Road, which are absorbing the more dense type of development from the
Poblacion. The growth of Urban Regeneration Zone 2 (URZ-2) should be controlled in order
to avert a similar fate of congestion and urban decay that has befallen URZ-1.
Barangays included in URZ-2 (in whole or in part) are as follows: De La Paz, Malaban, Casile,
San Antonio, Tubigan, San Vicente and San Anton.
2. Urban Control Zones (UCZs)
The Urban Control Zones (UCZs) are envisioned to be the recipient of the Urban Regeneration
Zones (URZs) development spill over. The control of land use intensities and the
commercialisation in the URZs is expected to bring new developments (e.g, residential and
commercial) in the UCZs.
These districts are presently occupied by a range of land use intensities from low to medium
intensity activities to idle lands. Some of the Urban Control Zones have moderate development
capability in as much as they occupy environmentally sensitive land. Areas identified as flood
43

2009120411
prone will have to be provided with adequate drainage facilities while areas near the fault line
are recommended to be developed into open spaces or parks. The LDGS promotes low to
medium-intensity residential and mixed-use development in this area but also protects it from a
chaotic high-density development that exists in the Poblacion.
There are four contiguous UCZs and they will be referred to as UCZ-1, UCZ-2, UCZ-3, and UCZ4. Their exact locations are as follows:
UCZ-1 occupies most of the western section of Barangay Halang.

UCZ-2 is situated east of the SLEX. It occupies Barangays Halang, Soro-soro, Canlalay, and
De La Paz.
Ucz-3 is located in Barangays Langkiwa, Calabuso, Zapote, and San Anton.
UCZ-4 is in the southwestern tip of the municipality in Barangay Bian.
3. Urban Promotion and Management Zone (UPMZ)
The Urban Promotion and Management Zone (UPMZ) occupies the identified NonEnvironmentally Critical Areas (Non-ECAs) southeast of the Bian River and the fault line from
Bian to San Anton. As a Non-ECA, this zone is considered to have high development capability.
It will provide the urban expansion requirements of the municipality, directing it away from
the more environmentally sensitive lands.
Many of the large land holdings within the UPMZ are owned by big developers who intend to
put up large subdivisions and commercial centres. There are prospects for a spur line to be
introduced within this zone to connect the SLEX at Barangay Mamplasan with the ManilaCalamba Express Line (sometimes referred to as the MCX and formerly the PNR line) at
Barangay Platero.
44

2009120411
The LDGS encourages large-scale master planned developments within this zone. Higher
density developments will be allowed in strategic points such as the future Intermodal Station
at Barangay Platero and the potential spur line station in Barangay Mamplasan. The other
areas within this zone may have developments of moderate intensity.
Barangays included in the UPMZ in whole or in part are as follows: Timbao, Loma, Mamplasan,
Bungahan, Zapote, San Anton and Platero.
4. Special Economic Zone (SEZ)
The Special Economic Zone (SEZ) consists of the two existing industrial estates (Laguna
Technopark and the Laguna International Industrial Park) and the adjoining areas between
them. Since the two industrial estates are the only two large scale industrial developments in
the municipality, it is expected that they would significantly influence the land use activities and
transportation systems in the adjoining areas. The SEZ is located in an area that is not
susceptible to flooding and considerably far from the fault line. It is, however, the host to two
industrial estates which are considered sources of nuisance and noise. The SEZs undeveloped
areas that are not affected by the two industrial estates are considered Non-Environmentally
Critical Areas, which means that they have high development capability.
The Barangays occupied by the SEZ in whole or in part are as follows: Bian, Malamig, Ganado,
Timbao, Loma, and Mamplasan.
The Special Economic Zone is further segregated into two sub-zones, namely:
Economic Industrial Zone (EIZ)
45

2009120411
The Economic Industrial Zones (EIZs) is simply the areas already occupied by the two industrial
estates. The Laguna Technopark (LT) occupies parts of Barangays Bian and Malamig while the
Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP) occupies portions of Barangays Ganado and
Mamplasan.
Economic Support Zone (ESZ)
The area between the two EIZs has been designated as the Economic Support Zone (ESZ). It
has been considered as a potential site for future light industries. This area, however, will not
be developed exclusively for industrial activity. The ESZ is also intended for developments that
would complement the two industrial estates. Sections of Barangays Timbao, Malamig, Loma
and Ganado make up the ESZ.
