Today, the term “mixed use” can refer to a vertical mixed-use design wherein a single
multi-storey building has a retail or offices in the street level, residential apartments on
the upper levels, and a basement for parking. It can also be used to refer to horizontal
mixed-use development, wherein several buildings within a city block or area, or
around an open space or courtyard serve one or two uses while creating a microcosm
within a neighbourhood.

“THE LIVING CONDITIONS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN BOARDING

HOUSES AND DORMITORIES IN DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES”

Living in a boarding house or dormitory is necessary for students who come from far places. In Davao City, an
observable statistics of university students from neighbouring provinces and the city’s outskirts live in these
temporary residences. However, reports reveal that these housing facilities, most of the time, fail to consider
students’ safety and welfare. This study determined the living conditions of university students in boarding
houses and dormitories. This is anchored on the premise that the physical and environmental components of
these residential facilities could affect students’ holistic well-being.

“QUALITY OF DORMITORY SERVICES IN URMIA UNIVERSITY OF MEDICAL

SCIENCE: FEMALE STUDENT'S PERCEPTIONS”

Accommodation as one of the necessities of life during studying is important. This study aimed to assess the
quality of residential services from the perspective of female students in dormitories of Urmia University of
Medical Sciences. The quality of residential services at the Urmia University of Medical Sciences was
acceptable and satisfactory. The remarkable point for those responsible, were maintaining the quality of services
in dormitories and planning to higher quality of service.
 SUMMARY

• Housing is one of the basic necessities of every individual. An apartment

and a dormitory would provide shelter and improve the quality of life.
Having a place of shelter, of safety and of retreat is commonly considered
as a fundamental physiological need of a human, the foundation from
which to develop higher human motivations. It is also where a person will
feel truly relaxed and at peace, away from prolonged exposure to the
elements of the outside; when a person has a calm state of mind, he then
can focus on doing the tasks that are at hand and will become a better
contributor to a bigger picture which is the nation.
 Relationship to the Study

• Researchers had gathered data and information from the reviews of articles and
data conducted. It is said that a strong demand of tenants looking for places to stay
in pretty much very range. Rapid growth in urban center continues to spur planners
to create new solutions to meet the resident’s satisfaction. Today, no planners can
get away with simply designing a stand-alone residential building.
 Feasibility of Study

Name of the Project

The project will be known as Residencia de Dagupan because the proposed

structure will provide accommodation for those people who are looking for an
apartment and dormitory. The proposed project will provide quality service
and a better home to the people who travel far from work and school. It can
also give temporary shelter for those fresh workers and employees who can’t
still afford to build a permanent home.
 Feasibility of Study

Location

The desired location of a proposed project is along the highway of A.B. Fernandez East
Avenue, Dagupan City, Pangasinan. The proposed location is accessible since it is
located along the national road. The location will only take one public utility vehicle
from the town proper. The lot has a total area of 7,199 square meters. The lot has a soil
bearing capacity of 48 kPa according to the City Engineering Office. Also, the location
is approximately 2 kilometers to the town proper, and less than a kilometer from the
universities and colleges that has biggest population of students in the city.
 Feasibility of Study

Target Market

The primary target markets are the students that are far away from the city that
is already residing in a dormitory or apartment and also those who wants to
live temporarily in the city to have a less fare and short travel time to their
school. The researchers also market the people like professionals, employees
and others that are working in the city where their hometown is too far, and
also those people living in the city who wants to make a new way of living but
has a small starting to build a house.
 Feasibility of Study

The Project

• “Residencia de Dagupan” is a proposed 4-storey apartment and dormitory

building that houses commercial spaces on the ground floor and a mini-
garden on its rooftop which can provide the different needs and a place of
serenity for the occupants, respectively.
• The occupancy will be separated by a vertical wall in the very center of the
structure; borders of the dormitory at the right side of the building when
facing the structure, and tenants of the apartments at the left side of the
building when facing the structure.
 Feasibility of Study
The area of occupancy ranges from the first storey up to the fourth wherein each floor
houses units and facilities that are carefully designed in accordance to the National Building
Code of the Philippines and where being clean, economical and satisfactory is strictly
considered. The dormitory side of the structure has different amenities including free Wi-Fi,
every floor having its own study area, a common kitchen for every two (2) units where each
unit can occupy a maximum of four (4) persons and *insert amenities to be put*. The
apartment side however houses two different types of flat, studio on the third floor and
below, convertible, a variation of studio that can house twice the maximum occupants of a
studio on the fourth. Like the dormitory, it also has free Wi-Fi, and a common area on every
floor of the building where the tenants can stay and socialize with their fellow tenants

 CHAPTER III

CONCEPTUAL AND
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
CONCEPTUAL
• Location
Young professionals, business investors and students rent an apartment or dormitory for easy
access to their work and school with sustaining professional development of their career. Since, the
proposed apartment-dormitory is along the highway of A.B Fernandez East Avenue, transportation
won’t be a problem for the occupants since it is just one ride towards the town proper of Dagupan
City.
 
• Availability
The facilities would be helpful to occupants when they seek amenities and chores assistance. The
dormitory has free Wi-Fi, study area, common kitchen and other necessary assistance offered.
Having this in the proposed project will give the clients a home-feels accommodation.
• Accessibility
One of the best things about an apartment and dormitory is the close proximity of
anything you need. Shopping center location are typically chosen by the overall
demographic of a community. No matter what you need, there is a shopping center
nearby to suit you since the location of proposed project is along the highway of A.B.
Fernandez East.
 
• Safety
Unlike most single-family homes, the best apartment and dormitory communities come
with 24/7 video-surround surveillance coverage with security guards in both entrance
of the proposed apartment-dormitory project.
Theoretical Framework
The propose project of the thesis study consist of four phases – Initiation,
Planning, Execution, and Closure. These phases would be designated as a
theory (set of concepts) since this would be the process when moving through
stages of project completion. This theory exemplifies the proposed thesis study
upon implementation. The said set of concepts within the theory were the
consecutive process of construction, which would be described as follows: the
start, during, and the operational stage of the construction of the proposed
project.
 
Paradigm
The input of the thesis study would be the following. Data
gathering of all needed documents, documentation, Interviews
and surveys of selected market people for the project. The
process includes planning and designing of the projects,
interpretation and analysis of data, estimating and project
scheduling and preparation of program works.

Sampling and Sampling Techniques
Tools for Data Interpretation
Research Design
The study used a descriptive method. The researcher
made a series of research, questionnaires, interviews,
consultations, observations and data gathering in
realization to this Study. Descriptive method is the study
in which data is collected, recorded and analyzed.
Sources of Data
The source of data of this study were intended to the qualified respondents of
students, businessmen, residents and young professionals in Dagupan City.
The researchers surveyed 295 male, 185 female with a total of 480
respondents. Students from father municipalities are the ones who will benefit
the most in the proposed project. We have also consulted and gathered some
expert opinion from apartment and dormitory owners and caretakers about the
functional design and common necessity needs of the target occupants.
Internet sources, books, newspapers and journals were also used as a reference
to have a more accurate idea and understanding about the subject,
requirements, and guidelines in designing the proposed project.
Instrument and Data Collection
 
1.Consultation
The researchers consulted professional civil engineers, architects, and acquired some data in
the city hall, and specially the City Engineering of Dagupan City in the field of construction.
2. Interviews
Apartment and dormitory owners were consulted about the status of their business. Also,
several officials were interviewed with regards to the feasibility of the project and as to what
benefits it would yield for the local community.
3. Questionnaires
Survey questionnaires were handed out to the respondents to obtain insight about the
community’s opinions towards the proposed project. These questionnaires were conducted on
different schools within the city so as to negate any community-based preferences.
 
4. Document analysis
Through the aid of Internet sources and textbook references, the researchers
were able to broaden their knowledge and better understand the issues arising from
the said project.
 
5. Observation
Through observation, the researchers perceive that the city will accommodate more
people in the near future that will go and reside in the city because of its economic
and educational institution that continues in development as the time goes by.
Sample Procedure
The selected population for the research method are the students
and some employees, workers and residents in Dagupan City.
The Sample size was solved using a formula formulated by
W.G. Cochran (Cochran Formula, 1977)
This was computed as follows:
 
Where:
n = sample size
e = 5% (assumed margin of error with 95% confidence level)
z = 1.96 (as per the z-table) when confidence level is 95%.
p = is the estimated proportion of the population which has the attribute in
question. Assume p =0.4
q = 1- p

n = 368.7936 say 369

Modification for the Cochran Formula for Sample Size Calculation in
Smaller Populations
n=
Here no is Cochran’s sample size recommendation, N is the population size, and
n is the new, adjusted sample size.
N = Target Population
N = 32, 039 enrolled students in universities and colleges in the city as of SY
2016-2017
n=
n= 364 say 400 respondents
The above computation shows that 400 respondents would be
taken by survey for students. The researchers took 80 respondents
each in 5 universities that is well-known and with biggest
population in the city. By purposive sampling, the sample size of
the other respondents that are employees or workers and some
residents in Dagupan, the researchers took also 80 respondents.

CONDUCTED INTERVIEW
The researchers have conducted an interview with some of the dormitory and
apartment owners to know the status of their business.

Dahlia M. Vinluan said that her business the Mevin Dormitory has been growing
along the time since it started in 2000. Structure of dormitory now is different from
the past where there is no individual CR inside the room. So, when the structure of
dormitory has improved, it clicked to the customers also, with the strategic location of
the dormitory, where it is along the highway and near the school. The business is still
experiencing ups and downs due to competition with the new businessmen coming
up.
 Presentation of Data Based on Interview

Mr. Barbara states that his inherited Boarding House- Apartment business has
been growing yearly. The status of earnings of the business is seasonal having the peak
during school days , while on brim during semester breaks because their main
costumers are students and young professionals working In a school.

In line with the aforementioned statements, the researchers asked the owners if
they would consider managing an Apartment and Dormitory in a twin building, Mr.
Barbara and Mrs. Vinluan agreed since it would be a great opportunity to
accommodate more occupants. It wouldn’t be a bother for them to cater large number
of occupants who inquires for one unit.
