FUNCTIONAL ROLES OF

PARKS AND OPEN SPACES

AREA 11 (DISTRICT 6) OF QUEZON CITY

INTRODUCTION
Parks and open space refers to land that has been
reserved for the purpose of formal and informal sport and
recreation, preservation of natural environments,
provision of green space and/or urban storm water
management.
Parks and open space vary in size, form and the functions
that they perform. A strategic approach is needed in
assessing the needs of a community and planning an
open space network. Public open space is usually
categorized into a hierarchy of neighborhood, district and
regional open space and can be used for either passive or
active recreation.

RATIONALE

This activity focus in evaluating and valuing

the roles P/OS of our chosen urban area within
the range and scale of urban design (UDDA).
This also identifies and considers existing P/OS
conditions, assess the need for it, and
anticipate its future physical requirements in
the UDDA. Likewise, potential P/OS location
and physical development shall have to be
presented based on urban design standards for
parks and open spaces provisions.

OUR CHOSEN VICINITY

BELONGS TO METRO
MANILA. OUT OF THE
NATIONAL CAPITAL
REGION (NCR) MAP, WE
HAVE DECIDED TO
CHOOSE DISTRICT 6,
BECAUSE BARANGAYS IN
DISTRICT 6 ARE CLOSELY
INTERCONNECTED WITH
EACH OTHER.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH

ACCESSIBLE BY PRIVATE AND PUBLIC VEHICLE AND

HAVING GARDEN WILL GIVE BETTER AIR CIRLUTAION IN THE LOCATION

SOME OF THE PARKS HAVE PROPER AMENITIES AND LOCATIONB WHICH

USERS CAN EASILY ACCESS LIKE IN THE BARANGAY BALUMBATO.

PARKS IMPROVES THE HEALTH OF THE PEOPLE WHO WILL USE THE

FACILITY.

IN TERMS OF SOCIAL ASPECTS IT PROMOTES SOCIAL INTERACTIONS.

WEAKNESS

OTHER BARANGAYS HAVE LIMITED FACILITIES THAT A LARGE

PEOPLE CANT ACCOMMODATE.

LACK OFBASIC SUPPLY LIKE WATER SUPPLY AND ELECTRIC SUPPLY.

NOT STANDARDIZED FACILITIES

SOME PARKS ARE NOT FOR PUBLIC USE.

OPPORTUNITIES

TO PROMOTE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE.

TO PRESERVE NATURAL RESOURCES BY HAVING

PARKS WHERE PEOPLE CAN PLANT.

TO PROMOTE SOCIAL INTERACTIONS ALONG THE

NEIGHBORHOOD.

THREATS

IT CAN LEAD INTO RAMBLE BECAUSE OF THE USERS

WILL WAIT LONG TIME UNTIL THE OTHERS IS DONE.

ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN BECAUSE SOME USERS,

DISTRICT 6

AS GIVEN IN THE ILLUSTRATION, DISTRICT

6 OF QUEZON CITY IS ABUNDANT IN R-3

WHICH IS THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL
ZONE, WHICH CAN BE FOUND AT APOLONIO
SAMSON; I-2 WHICH IS MEDIUM IMMERSLY
INDUSTRIAL ZONE IS THE NEXT ABUNDANT
IN DISTRICT 6, THE LEAST FOUND IN
DISTRICT 6 IS THE PARKS.

OBJECTIVES

To analyze and explore the vicinity of District VI of Quezon

City, examine its environment, ambience, facilities, function

and its design/planning elements in relation to parks and
open space and be able to understand and create a better
development to improve the quality of park for its users
To formulate an appropriate UD program for the P/OS in
the UDDA based on the information and analysis prepared.
To enhance our knowledge on how we will design a project
considering the design, site planning and other parameters
needed for the project that we can be used as our edge in our
field

ASSESSMENT AND ANALYSIS (ANECDOTAL,

QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE)

The information given through the data gathering

is clearly distinguished through the interview, and

observation. We have formulated conclusions
based on the data given to us and from the data
we sought in the internet and from the guidelines
we have gathered.

grow up to 6672 as projected in 2020.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE PARKS

AND OPEN SPACES IN AREA 11 OF
DISTRICT VI:
According to the data gathered, none of the

Barangay of Area 11 in District VI qualified the

Area Requirement needed to accommodate enough
population in that area.
