Introduction

A community needs a place where everyone is safe and can live to the fullest. A

place where indoor and outdoor activities can be held, place to promote physical fitness

and a place where people could go whenever there is calamity.

The Environment of the Philippines is prone to natural disasters,

particularly typhoons, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis,

lying as it does astride the typhoon belt, in the active volcanic region known as the Pacific

Ring of Fire, and in the geologically unstable region between the Pacific and Eurasian

tectonic plates (www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph).

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

( Abrahams, John, 1994).

Some sectors say schools – the go-to site every time a calamity strikes – should

no longer be used as temporary evacuation centers. In the past years, schools have been

the go-to site every time a calamity strikes because they are oftentimes the only readily

available structures in communities that can accommodate a large number of people. The
perennial use of schools as evacuation centers, however, has affected the operation of

schools in the aftermath of disasters (De la Cruz, Gwen, 2015).

Evacuees too have also been known to get sick, or worse, die in evacuation centers

because of lack of proper sanitation. This is because they were not really built for human

habitation over long periods of time (De la Cruz, Gwen, 2015).

Meanwhile, sport in the Philippines is an important part of the country's culture.

There are seven major sports in the Philippines. These

are basketball, badminton, boxing, football, billiards, tennis and volleyball. Sports

remain a popular aspect of Philippine culture. As such, the country's government has had

several attempts at improving its athletics program through various Republic Acts and

Senate Bills. Meanwhile, each sporting community hosts/joins both local and international

tournaments with the purpose of building itself and/or gauging itself against its peers (

Metro Manila · Basketball).

In this regard, the proponents is proposing a Multi-Purpose Sports Center that can

used not only for sports and social gatherings but also can serve as an Evacuation Center

during calamities.
Project Technical Description

The project will serve as a sports entertainment and evacuation center. It can also

serve as an event place for public use. Its amenities would include available rooms for

evacuees and public officials for their monthly meetings.

This structure will be equipped with simple yet reliable facilities. It contains wide

space for evacuees, sufficient public toilets, water and electric supply, radio and

telephone connections, storage room as well as ready and stand by generators. The

design shall incorporate good ventilation. During the absence of calamities, the

evacuation center can also be used in different programs and activities of the barangay

and city government such as meetings, general assembly, livelihood projects, social

gatherings, sport competitions, feeding program, graduation rites, seminars and other

government programs.

The project comprises the design that could withstand a violent typhoon and

earthquakes that Sta. Fe are prone to. It also covers the area of 492 square meters. It

can cater the population of Barangay San Roque (Number of population=2140) which is

the most populous barangay in Sta. Fe. This can be the temporary shelter of the residents

to reduce casualties when any disastrous events come given that there is no reliable and

safe structure or evacuation centers for the evacuees. (NDRRMO Sta. Fe)
General Objectives

The building is designed to be able to with stand typhoons and earthquakes that

usually occur in Philippines and well equipped with trending designs. This project will also

provide a place for athletes, body conscious ones and sports enthusiasts to grow their

talents as well as taking good care of their body.

The specific objectives of the study are as follows:

1. To have a fully-functional multi-purpose evacuation center and sports

center which identifies the great need of the community especially on

disastrous calamities.

2. Controlled and sensible flexibility of the building services in such a way that

every area on that infrastructure can accommodate different types of

weather conditions and to ensure the durability and endurance of it.

3. To promote sports as well as exercises that could help them with health

issues.
Background of the Study:

Typhoons are a significant disaster for so many towns in the Philippines. It is

formed over the Northwest Pacific Ocean where our country is near. They can cause great

sufferings for our countrymen and even cause great risk to our lives. Approximately

twenty tropical typhoons come to the Philippines every year.

Brgy. San Roque, Sta. Fe, Leyte is one of the barangay of Sta. Fe in the province

of Leyte, Philippines consisting of 2140 population with postal code of 6513. Planting

crops and rice is the main source of income in the said barangay. (Planning and

development Office, Sta. Fe)

Multi-Purpose sports and evacuation can be of very useful event place to San

Roque. It will help them with their social gatherings, official meetings, to enjoy with sports

competitions and most importantly is to protect them with strong typhoons. It will also

help the people of San Roque with their fitness activities and help them with their exercise

habits.

A large Multi-Purpose Hall is the center of considerable activity and has facilities

for indoor events, meetings and performances. Other things which must be considered

while looking for a multipurpose hall is to check if it can be available for any purpose like

college events, sports events, business meetings public gatherings or political events (

MacInerney, Eric, 2016).

 Multipurpose hall for Business Meetings/events: extra attention must be given to

other facilities such as video conference and telepresence. Business meetings will be easy

to organize with the availability of Telepresence no matter how many time zones or

locations are involved ( MacInerney, Eric, 2016).

Multipurpose hall for Public events or gatherings: Public gatherings such as

reception parties, weddings, Birthday parties, retirement parties, get-togethers, cradle

ceremonies, religious gatherings, political meetings, exhibitions etc will require a Multi-

purpose hall. The facilities which must be considered in a Multi-purpose hall for these

events are convenience of locality, which must be easily accessible ( MacInerney, Eric,

2016).
Highlights of the Project

I. Market Aspect

Province of Leyte, which Sta. Fe is located is of often hit by typhoons and was

even hit by super typhoon Yolanda that causes casualties and millions of damages to

infrastructures and agriculture. Due to increasing typhoons, schools and tall houses are

often used as a temporary shelter during disastrous events. School are also commonly

used as an evacuation center because of it’s the only readily available structure in

communities that can accommodate a large number of people thus affecting the students

and the classes after the disastrous event.

Under this project, there will be specific and designated places for evacuation

purposes in case of emergency, disasters and calamities. It will serve as the top priority

to go if worse and unexpected situations occur.

II. Technical Aspect

The proposed two-story with roof deck evacuation center will be constructed on

high elevated are in Barangay San Roque, Sta Fe Leyte. The building is equipped with

simple yet reliable facilities consisting of comfort rooms, storage rooms, basketball court

on roof deck, readily available rooms for evacuees and meeting halls. It is also designed

not only for evacuees but also for athletes and sports enthusiast. It will serve as an

evacuation center during calamities and a sport center during normal days as well as it

could also cater the need of having a place to have meetings for barangay official.
Scope and Limitation:

To plan a multi-purpose evacuation center and sports center that is designed

to accommodate safety, recreational activities and any desired conductivity of any event

suitable in the area of San Roque.

The study focuses on the welfare of the people in San Roque. The effective

design of the center to withstand any disastrous recurrence can be a helpful solution to

all dependent citizens of San Roque; specifically those of residences that are not capable

of resisting the destruction of any catastrophic event such as typhoons. Also, as subjected

to be an evacuation center, those who are victimized of any accidental happenings such

as fire incidence, landslide, flooding, etc., can temporarily stay here in this center.

Knowing that this center is absolutely suitable and also designed as a sports-

oriented facility, different athletic activities can definitely be held specifically basketball;

wherein it is the main sport facility to be established. As what it is reflected in this title,

this study signifies that it is a useful infrastructure in the area wherein it can accommodate

the safety, social and sports basis.

It is expected that the results of this study is effectively useful and helpful

to the citizens of San Roque at Sta. Fe, Leyte and also to contribute for the future

researchers.

MARKET ASPECT

Market Description

The municipality of Sta. Fe is a fifth-class municipality and is one of the 40

municipalities in the Province of Leyte. Sta. Fe is bounded in the East by Palo, Leyte in

the South of Pastrana, Leyte, in the West of Alang-Alang, Leyte and in the North of

Tacloban City. The town is about twenty-three (23) Kilometers away from the City of

Tacloban and about eleven (11) from the town of Palo, Leyte (NDRRMC, Sta. Fe).

Sta. Fe has 20 barangays with a total land area of 8190 hectares characterized by

low lands with a portion of rolling with high varying elevations (NDRRMC, Sta. Fe).

Demand for the facility

For the past decades, we have experienced and witnessed an increasing number

of disaster which lead to numerous number of casualties. Super typhoon Yolanda

recorded as the deadliest Typhoon causing thousands of deaths recorded in the

Philippines in November of 2013 followed by tropical Storm Urduja destroying worth 1

billion of Infrastructure and agriculture products (NDRRMC).

One of the barangay in Sta. Fe is San Roque consisting of 2140 population. This

project will serve as a multi-purpose structure that could help them with their occasions,
sports competitions, meetings, physical fitness workouts and even calamities that will

occur in Brgy. San Roque, Sta. Fe, Leyte. The people of Sta. Fe will not be worrying

anymore with the upcoming calamities that could hit the municipality as well as with their

occasional indoor or outdoor recreational games. Also, fitness enthusiast can have their

own place to do daily workouts and daily activities that could promote healthy living

(Planning and Development Office, Sta. Fe).

Project Demand

In analyzing the demand quotient, the following data were needed:

1. Number of population in barangay San Roque.

Table 2.4 shows the casualty count during the typhoon Yolanda. It also shows that

out of 4853 houses in Sta. Fe, 4219 was totally damaged and 640 were partially.

Thus, most of the houses in Sta. Fe are not designed to withstand strong typhoons.
 Supply

The project with simple but reliable design will be the first in the town of

Sta. Fe and other nearby municipalities. The project with its facilities will serve the

entire population of barangay San Roque of Sta. Fe as well as the sport enthusiast

in the said town.

Demand-Supply Analysis

Based on the data we gathered from the Natural Disaster Risk Reduction

Management Council, Barangay San Roque is one of many totally damaged

barangay in the municipality of Sta. Fe during the strongest typhoon Yolanda. It

consists of 3 casualties during the Typhoon Yolanda. But, further analyzing the

data, the population of barangay San Roque is increasing. The data tells us that

barangay San Roque is economically increasing with respect to its population.

This project aims to save lives for the future calamities as well as to promote

healthy living because of its well-designed sports center.

Moreover, the population is increasing linearly with their economic status as per

year.

Factors Affecting the Market

Factors that may affect the market are the following: the land area where it is hard

to just pick a location for the said structure due to the lack of public or government lots
in the barangay. Also, the natural environment whereas the land where we plan to

construct the said building is grassy and have trees which is a natural habitat for birds

and some animals. However, it is a good location because of its accessibility and its

distance between barangay hall. It also has the advantage because of its high elevation

that makes it ideal for an evacuation center.

 Chapter III

Technical Aspect

Technical aspect is the records and data’s of the project. The complete study of

the project in terms of input, processes, output, programs, fields and procedures. It is

considered as a tool that is for long term planning and trouble shooting.

Project Description

The proposed two-storey Sports Center cum Evacuation Center will be constructed

in Barangay San Roque, Sta. Fe Leyte. It will be located near the barangay hall and near

in the center of the barangay. With this, it can provide an easy route for people in the

barangay whenever an occasion or event is to be held. It may be constructed at a plain

location, but it will have a higher elevated foundation to give evacuees a safe and secure

evacuation shelter that will prevent flood or surge to reach the shelter.

The building is designed to withstand calamities that are to hit the barangay. It is

equipped with comfort rooms, storage rooms, meeting room, clinic and offices that is

used for some barangay officials.

PROJECT LOCATION

This project is located near the barangay hall at center of the barangay. It will be

filled to make it a higher elevation and secured from flood and landslide that may happen

during a calamity.
