CHAPTER 4

DATA PRESENTATION
& ANALYSIS
4.1 SITE INVENTORY
4.1.1 Site Selection

The initial phase in the design process is site selection. A thorough site study is
required to comprehend the site's qualities, which will be crucial during the design
framework. The goal of the site analysis is to collect and assess information about the
site and its surroundings, then utilize that information to drive the design response.

4.1.1.1 Site Selection Criteria

The province’s very own state university
—Bataan Peninsula State University is where
the proposal will be based. This is in
consideration of the provisions of the Republic
Act 11509 known as “Doktor Para Sa Bayan
Act”.

This School of Medicine (SOM) proposal

will be affiliated to the Bataan General Hospital
and Medical Center (BGHMC), which is located
on Manahan St., Tenejero, Balanga, Bataan.
The BGHMC as the base hospital of the
proposed project, the proximity of the possible
site to this existing institution must be in great
consideration. This consideration is also base
on the provisions provided by the CHED
Memorandum Order No. 18, s. 2016.

Several project-relevant criteria have been divided into two groups, major and
minor criteria. These criteria were formulated in consideration of the goals and
objectives of the proposal. These must be taken into account when determining the
most reliable and ideal site location for the project proposal's requirements.
Gross Site Selection Criteria
Major Criteria – 70%
 Proximity to the base hospital. The base hospital preferably, should be in the
same city/province but must be within the region. Accessibility, safety of students
and faculty, and a reasonable travel time should be considered.
 Existing BPSU Campus. An existing BPSU Campus must be present in the site.
 Availability of Utilities. It is critical to situate existing/available utilities and services
such as power, water, communication, and security within the site premises for
quality operation.
 Environment. The site must be located in a healthy environment free from any form
of harmful circumstances. It must also be free from pollution, such as noise, air,
water, and land pollution.

Minor Criteria – 30%

 Developed road networks. The site must be connected by a developed road
networks to provide accessibility to land transportation system. It should be easily
accessible through major thoroughfare.
 Environmental Hazards. By analyzing the condition of the site, environmental
hazards that can have a serious impact on your project must be identified. The site
must be free from any predictable but inevitable environmental hazards such
earthquake.
 Safety. The location must also be outside potential man-made hazard and
possesses a low crime-rate. It needs to have characteristics of life that assure a
healthful, safe, and environmentally sound community.

Discrete Site Selection Criteria

Major Criteria – 60
 Proximity to the existing BPSU Campus. The site must be within or adjacent to
the existing BPSU Campus.
 Cognitive Effect of the site. The site should be isolated from stressors specifically
on physical environment (i.e., level of noise, crowdedness, traffic, and extreme
climate/weather).
 Zoning and Land Use Classification. The classification of land use shall be
appropriate to the type of project based on the approved Comprehensive Land Use
Plan (CLUP) of the governing city/municipality.
 Adaptability. The site must be large scale or spacious enough to accommodate the
school buildings, amenities, and other facilities. The site should also have provision
for future expansion.

Minor Criteria – 40%

 Site Terrain. The site should have a relatively flat terrain or slope.
 Traffic Level. The traffic level going to the site premises as well as the departure
must be acceptable to the users.
 Accessibility to public transportation system. Several available types of public
transportation systems must be present.

A. Gross Site Selection

The province of Bataan is the area of study

for this School of Medicine proposal. The province
has 1,372.98 km² of land area. It is consisting of 11
municipalities, and the municipality of Balanga is the
capital city.

The three (3) municipalities considered for

the gross site selection was the following:
Balanga City
Balanga is a coastal component city in the
province of Bataan. It serves as the provincial
capital. The city has a land area of 111.63 square
kilometers which constitutes 8.13% of Bataan's
total area. Its population as determined by the
2020 Census was 104,173. This represented
12.21% of the total population of Bataan province.

This municipality is one of the province’s

wealthiest towns. Agriculture and fisheries have Source: bataan.gov.ph/city-of-balanga
long been the primary source of income. The
majority of Balanga's resources are agricultural in nature, such as palay production,
sugarcane, corn, coconut, fruits and vegetables, and fish products such as milkfish,
tilapia, shrimps, prawns, crabs, oysters, and other shelled seafood.

Accessibility and strategic location make Balanga a potential haven for future
investors. The town's bid to become one of the region's industrial areas is aided by
existing ecozones and industrial parks. Due to its large resources and services, it also
functions as a catch basin for the province's industrial boom zones.

Abucay
Abucay is a coastal municipality in the
province of Bataan.The municipality has a land
area of 79.72 square kilometers which constitutes
5.81% of Bataan's total area. Its population as
determined by the 2020 Census was 42,984. This
represented 5.04% of the total population of
Bataan province.
 Farming and fishponds occupy a substantial
Source: bataan.gov.ph/abucay
amount of Abucay's land area (about 3,320 of the
total 8,413.65 hectares). The barangay of Mabatang, Calaylayan, Wawa, Omboy, and
Capitangan are coastal barangays that engage in agri-aqua business, whereas Gabon,
Laon, and Salian are agricultural and grazing lands. Bangkal, an upland village is
located at the foot of Mount Natib.

The residents are also engaged in livestock and poultry, broom making which is
a steady source of income for residents, and boat building which distinguishes
Abukeños from other people living in the province.

Orani
Orani is a coastal municipality in the province
of Bataan. The municipality has a land area of 64.90
square kilometers which constitutes 4.73% of
Bataan's total area. Its population as determined by
the 2020 Census was 70,342. This represented
8.24% of the total population of Bataan province.
Source: bataan.gov.ph/orani
The majority of Orani's industry is rice and coffee farming, food processing,
cutflower production, and milkfish, tilapia, crab, and prawn aquaculture. The processing
of prawns has become a significant source of revenue for the municipality. The area
also has garment manufacturing and metal and iron businesses.

The proposed development of an economic zone on a 500-hectare plot of land in

Barangay Doa is a positive step for small and medium-sized business investors. Given
the availability and abundance of raw materials in the area, food processing appears to
be a viable business.

Gross Site Justification

 Balanga prevail over Abucay and Orani in the gross site selection. The selected
municipality is the most compatible site in terms of the formulated major and minor
gross site criteria.

Balanga City is the location of the proposal’s affiliated or base hospital which is
the BGHMC which specifically located in Tenejero Balanga City. The selected
municipality is home to the 2 out of the 6 BPSU Campuses which are the BPSU
Balanga Campus and the BPSU Main Campus. The environment of Balanga City can
still be considered good based on data and observation. The air and noise quality are
good while water and land pollution is just fair in some areas. Utilities and services
including water, power, telecommunication, and public transportation is available and
easily accessible in the area. Balanga being the capital city of the province has a
developed road network. The only environmental hazard experienced in some areas of
the city is low to moderate flooding. These criteria justify the gross site selection
process of the study.

B. Discrete Site Selection

To narrow down the site selection process, discrete site selection must follow
after the gross site selection. The researcher must provide an available site or lot within
Balanga City that will be filtered using the provided discrete site selection criteria.

SITE A
Location: Don Anacleto Avenue Tenejero/2nd District Balanga City, Bataan
Lot Area: 25, 860 sqm (2.60 hectares)
 Site A is adjacent to the BPSU Main Campus and is near the Bataan General
Hospital and Medical Center which is the proposal’s affiliated hospital. It is
approximately 300 meters away from its base hospital. The level of noise pollution in the
area is tolerable, air quality is good, land and water pollution do not exist, and the site
has a minimal source of stressors. This indicates that the site has a positive cognitive
effect. Site A, however, is classified as agricultural land, therefore reclassification is
required. In terms of the site’s adaptability, it is large enough for the proposal, and the
provision of space for future expansion is considered. The level of the terrain is
relatively flat. In addition, traffic level is acceptable and access to public transportation is
present.

SITE B
Location: Tet Garcia St., City of Balanga, Bataan
Lot Area: Approx. 5600 sqm
 Site B is near BPSU Main Campus which is approximately 450 meters in
distance, and BGHMC which is approximately 550 meters in distance. The level of
noise in the area is tolerable, and the air quality is good, but land and water pollution are
present. Stressors are also visible and observable within the site. This indicates that the
site might cause a negative cognitive effect on the users. One good thing about Site B is
its adaptability having a large lot area. The site terrain is relatively flat. However, narrow
road networks cause traffic congestion which leads to poor access to public
transportation system within the site.

SITE C
Location: Enrique Garcia Senior Avenue, City of Balanga, Bataan
Lot Area: 87,922 sqm (8.8 hectares)
 Site C can be considered far from the existing BPSU Campus and the BGHMC
but it is still located in the same city or municipality. It is approximately 2 kilometers far
from these existing institutions. The level of noise in the site is tolerable, air quality is
good, land pollution does not exist but water pollution does, and the site has a minimal
source of stressors. This indicates that the site still has a positive cognitive effect on the
users. The lot is classified as institutional use which is one good thing about Site C. The
lot size is enough in consideration of the provision for future expansion. The site terrain
is relatively flat. However, the traffic level in the area is unacceptable. Traffic congestion
is observable in most times yet access to public transportation is still present.

Discrete Site Justification

Site A prevail over Site B and Site C in the discrete site selection. The selected
lot is the most compatible site in terms of the formulated major and minor discrete site
criteria.
Site A which is located in Don Anacleto Avenue, Tenejero Balanga City is
adjacent to the BPSU Main Campus where the College of Nursing and Midwifery was
based. The site even being located in the city, still provide a positive cognitive effect by
having a tolerable amount of noise, good air quality, and absence of water and land
pollution. The site has a minimal source of stressors that is able to be resolved by
architectural solutions. Although, the classification of the site as of now is agricultural,
reclassification into institutional is required and is possible. The lot size is large enough
for the proposal and there is still area within the site that is dedicated for future
development and expansion. The terrain is relatively flat. In terms of the traffic level and
access to public transportation, the level of traffic is acceptable and the site has an
access to public transportation system.

C. Functional Site Selection

The site derived from the discrete site selection will undergo functional site
selection where the proponent examines the site and show the zoning of the proposed
structures. Functional site selection will serve as a guide for the placement and
positioning of buildings within the site.

Functional Site Justification

The proposed site is divided into three (3) zoning, public, semi-private, private,
and future expansion. The front division of the site will house the administration building,
and the parking area. This area is accessible to the general public. The mid-portion of
the site is dedicated for the semi-private facilities such as the academic buildings which
will only be accessible to the students and the academe. Lastly, the rear portion of the
side are the area for the private facility (dormitory) and area for future developments
and expansion.

4.1.2 Site Data

4.1.2.1 Macro-Site Data
Balanga is in the southwestern region of Central Luzon, near the province of
Bataan's eastern portion. The city covers an area of 11,163 hectares on land and 1,230
hectares on water. The city's eastern section is urbanized, with commercial, residential,
and institutional businesses, while the western section is rural, with residential,
agriculture, pasture, grassland, and woodlands.

There are 25 barangays in the city, 14 of which are urban, 6 of which are rurban
(containing both urban and rural areas), and 5 of which are rural.

Topography
According to studies, slope gradient influences (1) the degree and severity of
erosion, which is directly proportional and highly correlated to slope gradient, (2)
nutrient loss or loss of productivity of the land or soil, (3) soil fertility and biological
deterioration, and (4) the suitability of irrigation systems and types of agriculture crops
to be grown (PEMSEA and MBEMP-MBIN, 2007; Municipality of Balanga, 2000).
Depending on the amount of rainfall and the degree and type of land cover, rain-
induced landslides can occur in steep terrain.

Balanga's slopes are divided into four (4) groups. While 55% of the city is within
the 0-3 percent slope, which is level to nearly level, erosion threatens the remaining
45% (Barangay consultations). This is because of a lack of suitable soil cover or plants,
particularly in Cabog-cabog, Tanato, and Dangcol.

Soil Texture
 The mountain soils in Bataan are primarily silt clay loam to fine sand, though
much of it is undifferentiated and formed by pyroclastic materials from the volcanoes.
Samat and Natib. The alluvial plains' soils range from clay-to-clay loam and are
composed of epiclastic elements found in volcanic areas (PEMSEA and MBEMP-MBIN,
2007).
There are seven (7) types of soils located within the municipality as shown in the
soil texture map below.

Climate
The distribution of rainfall in a given location across different months of the year
defines a country's climate. The city has a Type I climate, which means that from
November to April it is dry and rainy the rest of the year. The annual rainfall average is
2,030 mm. Typhoons are possible from July to November. Because of global climate
change, the dry season can last longer or the rainy season can last longer. In 2010,
there were fewer typhoons than in previous years.
Geology
 The foundation of Balanga is made up of igneous and sedimentary rocks.
Sedimentary rocks are smaller in size than igneous rocks. The town's western section
contains igneous formations. This location is classified as quaternary recent, with
pyroclastic and quaternary volcanic activity. The first type is a deposit of pyroclastics
and/or volcanic debris, such as volcanic sand, ashes, cinders, bomb boulders, and
other materials, that accumulated along foot slopes as a result of volcanic vent
explosions. Dormant volcanoes or inactive cones with severely dissected andesine,
basalt, and dacite lava flows accompanied by pyroclastics.
Sedimentary rocks of varying ages can be found mostly east of the Roman Super
Highway, but also in the town center and along the coast. This type of fluviatile alluvium
consists of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders deposited as a
result of weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks along floodplains, streambeds and
banks, valley floors, and coastal plains (recent alluvial deposit).

Hydrology
 The city's two water sources are rivers or surface water and the earth or
groundwater.
The city's river system consists of major and secondary rivers, creeks, and
streams that drain into Manila Bay. The Talisay River is the most important, with its
headwaters running from the mountain range's southwest to Manila Bay in Tortugas'
south. The Talisay River runs through the city before entering Pilar municipality.
Pangulisan, Abo-abo, Mataan, Ibayo, Tiawer, and

Tuyo are the secondary rivers. Both agriculture and irrigation to vast agricultural
fish ponds require river water. Domestic water is land.
supplied by some springs and streams. The river system serves as the city's drainage
system.

Groundwater is essential for supplying residential, commercial, and industrial

areas in the city. The availability of the area is governed by its hydrogeological
characteristics, which include the quaternary formation area (both shallow and deep
wells), the tertiary formation area (deepwells), and other sites (difficult areas for water
exploitation).
Air
The city's air quality has not been measured. Even in remote areas, barangays
can declare the air to be clean. In urban areas, however, threats include, among other
things, automobile emissions and other activities. The air quality has deteriorated as the
number of tricycles and cars using the city's main routes has increased. Degradation, on
the other hand, is impossible to quantify due to a lack of data.
Individuals or farm owners burning garbage and waste is another threat to clean
air. Although the city has passed an ordinance prohibiting such behavior, enforcement
in several barangays has yet to be seen. Some of the residents have expressed
concern about foul odors near piggeries and seafood processing plants.

4.1.2.1.2 Natural Hazards

Landslide Susceptibility
In 2009, the Mines and Geosciences Bureau-Regional Office 3 (MGB,
unpublished) conducted a quick geohazard assessment to identify the 25 barangays'
vulnerability to flooding and landslides. Landslides are a possibility in four barangays
(Cabog-cabog, Tanato, Dangcol, and Munting Batangas). The barangays were
assigned a low, moderate, or high rating based on the rating parameters listed below.
High
 Presence of active and or recent landslides
 Presence of numerous and large tension cracks that would directly affect the
community
 Areas with drainage that are prone to landslide damming
 Steep slopes
Moderate
 Areas with indicative or old landslides
 Presence of small tension cracks and are located away from the community
 Moderate slopes
Low
 Low to gently sloping area

 Absence of tension cracks

Susceptibility is low in barangay proper regions, but moderate to high in road cuts
and typically steep and mountainous areas. The upper reaches of Tuyo have also been
classified as intermediate to high risk (PEMSEA and MBIN, 2007).

Liquefaction
Strong ground shaking, such as earthquakes, causes liquefaction, in which
loose, sandy, and water-saturated soil loses its ability to support any weight or load.
Strong ground shaking, such as earthquakes, causes liquefaction, in which loose,
sandy, and water-saturated soil loses its ability to support any weight or load. This event
is especially dangerous for the city's coastal barangays. Settlement and area growth
should be regulated.
Flood Prone Areas
Flooding is the most frequently occurring hazard in the city. The assessment of Mines
and Geosciences Bureau (MGB, 2009) rated the barangays with low (0-0.5 meter depth
of floodwaters), moderate (0.51-1 meter depth of floodwaters) or high (more than 1
meter) susceptibility based on the rating parameters below. The results of the
assessment were as follows:
1. Nine barangays with low susceptibility in most areas are Cabog-Cabog,
Tanato, Dangcol, Munting Batangas, Camacho, Bagong Silang, Talisay,
Tenejero and Ibayo.
2. Nine barangays with low susceptibility in most areas are Cabog-Cabog,
Tanato, Dangcol, Munting Batangas, Camacho, Bagong Silang, Talisay,
Tenejero and Ibayo.
3. Barangay Cupang North has a low to moderate due to its proximity to the
confluence of the rivers.
 4. Five barangays are rated with moderate to high susceptibility to flooding
(Tortugas, Puerto Rivas Ibaba, Puerto Rivas Itaas, Puerto Rivas Lote,
Sibacan and Malabia. They are affected with flooding from the release of
excess water from the dam located in Pilar, overflow from the rivers, tide
changes and structurally controlled areas such as elevated/upgraded roads.
5. Cataning has different flood levels and susceptibility and is controlled by its
topography.

4.1.2.1.3 Socio Economic Profile

Demography
According to the 2007 population census, Balanga has a total population of
84,105 people and 17,824 houses. The city's population density was 8 people per
hectare. The population density in rural areas was 2 people per hectare, 8 people per
hectare in rurban areas, and 50 people per hectare in urban areas. Between the 2000
and 2007 censuses, the city's average population growth rate was 2.03 percent.

Medical Care
There are five hospitals totaling 490 beds and 883 doctors. There are 23 Rural
Health Units and Barangay Health Units in addition to the 53 health clinics and health
centers. The Galing Health Card, which provides indigent families with access to
medical services at the Bataan General Hospital as well as assistance in the purchase
of drugs, is one of the city government's most important programs. Barangay Health
Units and Rural Health Units can also obtain medical supplies and laboratory
equipment. In 2009, 6,027 low-income families received Galing Cards, and 621 of them
received medical treatment and financial assistance to help them pay for prescriptions.

4.1.2.1.4 Services and Utilities

Water Supply
 The city has an abundant supply of water. Like other municipalities in Bataan, the
most common source of water supply in the city is its ground water.
The Balanga Water District (BWD) is in charge of water management. Despite
the fact that water is provided to families via a piped system, several barangays and
residential subdivisions have their own water systems. According to 2013 City Health
Office data, 16,247 households have piped-in water (Level III), 584 use communal
water faucets and public tube-wells (Level II), and 1,942 have their own tube-well.
The city's average monthly consumption/demand is 190,910 cubic meters, while
the average monthly supply/production is 270,203 cubic meters, according to BWD.
Furthermore, Inocencio, Padilla, and Javier (1999) estimate a monthly water
requirement of 9.7 cubic meters. A family of six in the city needed 151,465.5 cubic
meters of water per month in 2013. As a result, monthly BWD supply/production is
plentiful. Our projected need by 2020 is 175,660.53 cubic meters, which remains
unchanged from now.

Electric Power Supply

Based on the CBMS 2011 survey results, 94.03% of the households in Balanga
City have access to electricity.
There have been no power outages in Balanga City thanks to the National
Electrical Corporation's power grid in Limay. Furthermore, the operation of GN Power
Corporation in Mariveles ensures a consistent power supply and has significantly
reduced the city's electricity rates. The Peninsula Electric Cooperative (PENELCO) is in
charge of power distribution, selling electricity to end users in the residential,
commercial, small processing, and manufacturing sectors.
According to PENELCO, the average power demand for Balanga City is 15.12
MW.

Transport Facilities
In the city, there are three (3) different bus companies. The provincial and
regional lines are served by Genesis Transport Services, Bataan Transit, and Victory
Liner, as well as local provincial buses (minibuses). These transit services depart at
regular intervals from their respective terminals.
Inter-municipal services are provided by buses and jeepneys, while local transit
is provided by taxis. Motorized tricycles are used to get around the city. LPG-powered
and four-stroke trykes were adopted and encouraged as the local government joins the
worldwide fight against global warming and other environmental concerns.
To date, there are 3,054 units of tricycles with franchise operating within the city
while there are 1,042 passenger jeepneys and mini-buses covering inter- municipal
routes.

Communication Facilities
Telephone. The Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) Company is the
lone private entity that provides telephone services to the city. Two (2) companies –
SMART Communications and Globe Telecoms offer cellular mobile phone services for
the entire populace of the city.
Internet. Broadband internet services are available in many public and private
institutions and establishments. Internet service providers can be found in practically
every corner of the city. For 2013, there are 87 internet/computer shops operating in the
city.

4.2 Site Analysis
4.2.1 SWOT Analysis
Strengths
 The site is adjacent to the BPSU Main Campus.
 The site is near the BGHMC, which is the affiliated hospital of the proposed
project.
 The site is located in the capital city of the province allowing easier access to
medical education which is the primary goal of the proposal.
 The site has an acceptable traffic level.
 Flooding does not occur at the site’s location.
 The site has a relatively flat terrain.
Weaknesses
 The site is subject to zoning reclassification from agricultural to institutional.
 The site frontage faces the south orientation.
Opportunities
 The adjacency of the site to the existing BPSU Campus allows the connection of
the two.
 The adjacency of the site to the affiliated hospital allows easier access to the
future training ground of the SoM proposal.
 The adjacency of the site to the existing government hospital provides a source
of the workforce for the proposed SoM.
Threats
 Future developments within the area might lead to traffic congestion in the
forthcoming years.
 Climate change might cause flooding in the forthcoming years.

4.2.2 Summary of Site Analysis

Sun Path
The Sun path is the arc-like path across the sky that the Sun appears to take on
a daily and seasonal basis as the Earth spins and orbits the Sun. Based on the sun path
analysis, the site frontage was oriented South receiving direct sunlight. This indicates
that this side requires architectural treatment so the building will not receive too much
direct sunlight and heat. The sun path analysis also dictates the placement of spaces in
the proposed structure.

Wind Path
The wind path is the direction from which the wind is blowing; the direction from
which the air is moving. The wind path analysis guides the design to utilize natural
ventilation to cool the structures which benefits the energy efficiency of the building.
Most importantly, it is one basis of the orientation of buildings within the site.

Noise
 Based on the site analysis, two major sources of noise were identified. The first
source is the major road fronting the site where vehicular noise is directed through the
site. The second source is the residential subdivision in the rear side of the site. Noise
pollution treatment must be applied on these sides of the site which is required by the
goals and objectives of the proposal to deliver an architecture that provides a positive
cognitive effect on the users.
