Chapter I
INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the background of the study, the
problem, the objective and significance of the study, basic
assumptions and scope and delimitations.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Engineer is a person who were trained and exposed in
designs and builds complicated products, machines, systems,
or structures. Also, Civil Engineer is a person who
practices civil engineering known as the application of
planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, and
operating infrastructures while protecting the public and
environmental health, as well as improving existing
infrastructures that have been neglected. Civil Engineers
in the Philippines mostly construct structures like
commercial buildings, storey houses, hotels and even
city/municipal halls.
On the other hand, a city hall is a structure that is
composed of important offices needed in a city. It is also
known as the main administrative building and houses of the
local government where the following departments are housed
and provide their services from the city hall namely
General Management, Revenue Generation, Legal or Public
Safety, Health, Infrastructure and Sanitation, Public
1
Welfare Service, Education, Media Bureau, Electronic Data
Processing Team, Emergency Team and Police Assistance,
comparing it in a human body city hall is like the skull of
the city where the head of the city lives.
Dagupan City is known as one of the major cities in
Pangasinan that has great trading products in the
Philippines and in other country. It has taken a great part
in the history of pioneer transportation in Northern Luzon.
The City Hall which reflects the whole of the city,
can be the parameter to measure how civilized a city is.
Not to mention that all public transactions are being made
in the said place. As of today, the City Hall of Dagupan is
located at the heart of the city and is obviously
congested; divided into different departments due to lack
of space. The City Library is far out from Downtown proper
while the City Engineer’s Office is located kilometers away
from the City Hall.
The demand for a new building is inevitable as the
population and businesses increase. There must be a
unification of the City Hall which includes added agencies
and departments of the government. It then deserves to have
a world class design that would cater a “One-stop-All-
shop”. If this happens, it would be a great help to hasten
all the processes the city has to offer. It would provide
2
the people with a comfortable environment and a decongested
road which then leads the way for a happy, relax and fast
trip.
The researchers notice that Dagupan City must have a
Main City Hall that could supply all the important city
offices in one structure. Due to the need of the said city
and availability of the information needed, the researchers
decided to Proposed a Five-Storey City Hall located at De
Venecia Expressway Extension, Dagupan City Pangasinan.
We the researchers has been approved to study this
proposed case by the head of the actual and existing
proposed project, Engr. Romeo C. Rosario, City Planning and
Development Coordinator.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The researchers propose a five-storey City hall
located at De Venecia Extension road in dagupan with an
objective listed below:
• To resolve the scattered departments of the City hall
in dagupan.
• To unify the different department of the city hall
• To decongest traffic in the city.
• To materialize the face of dagupan.
As Lewis Mumford, The Culture of Cities describes how a
city hall should be “The city is a fact in nature, like a
cave, a run of mackerel or an ant heap. But it is also a
conscious work of art and it holds within its communal
framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind
takes form in the city; and in turn, urban form conditions
minds. For spaces, no less than time, is artfully
organized; in boundary lines and silhouettes, in the fixing
of horizontal peaks and vertical peaks, in utilizing or
denying the natural site, the city records the attitude of
a culture and an epoch to the fundamental facts of its
existence”. With a total lot area of 20,359 sq. meters the
researchers has a lot of freedom to build a modernized and
4
classical definition of it. Modified and well-spaced road
is used for convenient parking areas for all vehicles. In
lieu with the green building projects the company prepared
a proper waste disposal management for the building, a well
distributed recycled water would be supplying the structure
fixed with proper and efficient fixtures, and the last
thing is the reduction in the consumption of energy of the
structure, insolated wall and natural ventilations would be
provided as well as element in the building that would
provide the maximum effect of light from the sun. The
company prioritizes the environment, using environmental
materials and methods.
PROJECT LOCATION
The proposed project is to be situated in Brgy.
Pantal, Dagupan City, Pangasinan,along the Jose R. de
Venecia Expressway Extension, Dagupan City. With
approximately 2.4 km distance from the old city hall, it is
quiet far from center town but as quoted by Honorable Mayor
Belen T. Fernadez “Building the new city hall outside the
downtown area will also spur development in the others
parts of the city”.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
To make Dagupan City known around the world, this city
continues to devise new businesses focused on transforming
its vision to reality to make it globally competitive in
every way.
On July 8, 2013, Honorable Belen T. Fernandez, Mayor
of Dagupan City is shopping for a new possible site for a
New Dagupan City Hall since other offices including City
Health Office, Police Assistance, City Engineers office and
other are not intact in one structure.
(http://punch.dagupan.com/articles/news/2013/07/mayor-
belen-shopping-for-new-city-hall-and-fishport-sites/).
MAJOR PROBLEM
• What would be the relevant design of the City Hall
building that is to be constructed in Dagupan City having
2.035 Hectares?
MINOR PROBLEMS:
• What could be the additional offices that the city
hall could cater?
9
• What should be the best materials to choose in the
pursuit of promoting Green Engineering and sustainability?
IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
This project study will benefit all the drivers and
commuters around the city, decreasing their travel time and
money spent. More importantly, concerned citizens and
foreigners will have easy access to different government
transactions.
Dagupan, being one of the established cities around
Pangasinan, has an economy that continues to increase
through time. With a total lot area of 20,359 sq. meters,
the City Hall will be built with beautiful parks and
astounding views which will serve as a place of relaxation
for everyone who visits the City Hall. Having this kind of
cool and sociable atmosphere; tension, stress, fatigue and
other negativities will be decreased greatly resulting to
happy, convenient and more satisfying transactions.
SCOPE AND DELIMINATION
The feasibility study analysis is for the five-storey
unification and upgrade of the City Hall of Dagupan that
will be located at De Venecia Extension road, Dagupan City.
It has a total lot area of 20,359 sq. meters. The study is
10
composed of the architectural design of the building,
including its structural design and analysis, plumbing
schedules, electrical plan, estimates and bills of the new
City Hall of Dagupan.
The project has reached all possible requirements in
its management, environmental, financial, and technical
aspect. Thus, the scope and delimitation of the project are
listed below: The group could not actually fill the
geotechnical investigation due to constriction of
resources, time and manpower. However, the soil bearing
capacities is made available by the City Engineering Office
of Dagupan.
Also, the proper bidding of the project has never
transpired due to lack of experience of such knowledge. On
the other hand, this project has been assumed as the
winning bidder for the New City Hall of Dagupan. Moreover,
fields such as mechanical and technical aspects will have
little observation and attention due to lack of knowledge
and experience in the said areas.
BASIC ASSUMPTIONS
These are the basic assumptions considered in the study:
1. The proposed project is a government property.
11
2. Our company has won the bidding of the New City Hall
of Dagupan.
3. Proper rerouting of PUV, PUJ and PUB going to the New
City Hall “ Balon City Hall Ya Dagupan” has been
implemented.
4. It is assumed that all the requirements of mechanical,
technical, financial, social and environmental
management are met properly.
5. It is assumed that the safety of the residents
surrounding the site is observed to prevent accidents
during and after the construction.
6. Material test have been made in all materials to be
used and are meeting the ASTM standards.
7. It is assumed that the residents surrounding the site,
barangay, city officials, were fully informed of the
project and approved with complete knowledge and
agreed on the consequences that may occur during and
after the project construction.
8. It is assumed that all geotechnical data gathered and
used in the designs are reliable.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents the literatures allied to the
current study. They are thoroughly reviewed and
meticulously analysed by the researchers to further
elucidate their study’s statement of problem, formulated
conceptual framework and to gather more information or data
by asking people using survey questionnaire or interviewing
people with authority if possible. Primarily, the focus of
this study is the design to be constructed for the New City
Hall of Dagupan City which will supply the most convenient
and most operative services to the people of dagupan and
the entire Pangasinan as well. The researchers continue to
be inspired by other cities around the world that allows
their city hall truly reflect what the city is made of,
with respect to the design and posture of the structure.
A city hall is a typology, that by definition, is
strongly influenced by history and part of its role is to
reflect and embody the specific history of a place. In that
it needs to be sensitive to the history of a place there is
an opportunity to set an important precedent as to how a
modern building should respond to the context. Therefore it
16
can establish a pattern for future urban growth and form.
The typological study of a city hall is also a vehicle to
comment on the nature of a true public building.
On the other hand, the related literature and studies
that were reviewed to the present study focused mainly on
the topics indicated from the specific problems stated in
Chapter 1. These topics are as follows: (a) the present
condition of the existing city hall of dagupan; (b) the
feasibility of the new location proposed for the “New City
Hall of Dagupan”; (c) if the City Hall would be the face of
the city what should it look like?, what would be the most
suitable design to maximize its function as a government
structure.
FOREIGN LITERATURE
In July 2007, Council directed staff of Richmond Hill
Ontario, Canada bring a business case on relocating the
Town’s offices from 225 East Beaver Creek Road to the Town-
owned property at the south-west corner of Yonge Street and
Major Mackenzie Drive, in Downtown Richmond Hill. In
January 2008, Council approved a project budget for
retaining a consultant to complete a feasibility study for
relocation of Town hall, added the project to the ten year
capital forecast and directed staff to report back with
17
results of the feasibility study in the fall of 2008. This
report addresses that direction.
4
History and Context of the Town-owned Lands at Yonge Street
and Major Mackenzire Drive
The Town-owned site at the south-west corner of Yonge
Street and Major Mackenzie Drive was previously considered
as a location for a new municipal office building in the
late 1980s and early 1990s as part of a plan to consolidate
Town staff in one location. The early vision for this site
was multi-functional and included both public and private
uses. However, at that time, the Town opted to relocate to
the current Town Hall at 225 East Beaver Creek Road and
proceed with the construction of the Central Library at the
site.
Study Approach and Process
As result of a request for proposal process approved by
Council in January 2008, a consulting team led by CS&P
Architects was selected to carry out the Town Hall
relocation Feasibility Study. This included examining the
need, objectives, opportunities created, opportunities
lost, cost and benefits of the project and preparing the
three building program options, ensuring that these can be
18
accommodated at the site. They were also asked to provide
an estimated cost for each new Town Hall option including
the design, construction, furniture, fixtures and equipment
and occupancy and annual operating costs taking into
account the Town’s Sustainable Design and Construction
Policy. Finally, the consulting team was asked to develop a
realistic project schedule for the remainder of the
project, should Council choose to continue with the
relocation of the Town’s municipal offices.
The Feasibility Study
The Town Hall Relocation Feasibility Study prepared by the
Consulting Team is attached to this report as Appendix 1.
The Feasibility Study answers four key questions,
summarized below.
1. What do we need for our Town Hall in the future?
The Consulting Team reviewed the existing municipal offices
at 225 East Beaver Creek Road, interviewed key stakeholders
about how building met the Town’s needs, projected future
need of the organization and referenced the size and
building programs of the other municipalities. Their
conclusions were as follows:
19
• The existing Town Hall does not have a high visibility
to the community and lacks civic character. It also
inadequate space for public meetings and other civic
functions. These constraints cannot be addressed by
renovation.
• When compared with six other municipalities of a
similar size, the size and ratio of population and
Town staff to floor area was consistent with these
other municipalities.
• Using a staff projection of 5.6 additional full time
staff per year (based on a five year average of staff
added to main municipal offices approved in the Town’s
budget), the existing Town hall provides room for
future growth to approximately 2028.
• Using the same staff projections, three program
options were developed for a new Town Hall to
accommodate 5, 10 and 20 years growth. The excess
space would be leased until the point at which growth
necessitated its use for Town purposes. These options
assumed a move-in date of 2013.
o Option 1: Five years growth to 2018(174,542
square feet of gross floor area)
o Option 2: Ten years growth to 2023 with
additional space for an expanded Council Chamber,
20
multi-purpose room, child care centre and
cafeteria.(195,684 square feet of gross floor
area)
o Option 3: Twenty years growth 2033 with further
additional space for the Council Chamber, multi-
purpose room, child care centre and cafeteria.
(226,138 square feet of gross floor area)
• The number of parking spaces required, including
underground parking, was developed and included in the
three options.
The Consulting Team recommended that should the Town choose
to build a new Town Hall facility it be built to
accommodate growth to at least 2023 as identified in Option
2. They further recommended that parking be built on the
site at a rate of 2.1 spaces per 1000 square feet which
would translate into a modest incentive toward alternative
transportation use by staff, including transit, cycling and
carpooling.
2. Will the Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive site
support what we need for a Town Hall?
The Consulting Team reviewed the site from a number of
perspectives to determine whether it can support what is
21
needed for a Town Hall.
• Urban Design Analysis: The Yonge/Major Mackenzie site
can be developed in such a way as to maintain
important view corridors, be accessible to pedestrian
and vehicle circulation routes, including transit, and
integrate with the streetscape. Further, the site can
support the creation of a gateway type development as
an anchor to the downtown area.
• Transportation Analysis: The Yonge/Major Mackenzie
site can support parking requirements through a
variety of underground, surface and on-street parking.
It will also benefit from transit access, expected to
further improve over time.
• Site Location Assessment: The Consulting Team
evaluated the Yonge/Major Mackenzie site as well as
the site of the current Town Hall based on a number of
criteria commonly used in the industry. While some of
the criteria are less significant in assessing the
location of a public building, they concluded that the
Yonge/Major Mackenzie site was superior based on the
proximity of the Town’s population, the broader public
transit access and the place making capabilities of
the site.
22
• Site Development Options: The Consulting Team
identified a preferred design option that incorporated
the urban design and transportation analyses as well
as providing space for civic square that would take
advantage of existing physical characteristics of the
site. This design option can include a tower of up to
nine stories (depending on the program option chosen)
and a 2 storey public arm to house Council Chambers
and other civic and public areas. The preferred design
option also allows for space for future development at
the south end of the site, either through private
partnerships or to meet future Town needs.
3. How much will it cost to relocate the municipal offices
to a new Town Hall at Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie
Drive?
Based on 2008 dollar values, the Consulting Team provided
total project order of magnitude cost estimates for each of
the three program options. A summary of these costs is
provided below.
Option 1
(5 years
growth)
Option 2
(10 years
growth)
Option 3
(20 years
growth)
23
Total Project Costs in
2008 dollars
$80,196,000 $92,080,000 $106,861,000
The Consulting Team’s cost analysis provides a range of
program options that would cost between $80 million and $
107 million for the construction of a Town Hall on the
Town-owned lands at the south west corner of Yonge Street
and Major Mackenzie Drive. These were order of magnitude
costs established for the purposes of the feasibility study
only. It is important to note that more accurate costing
will be determined during the design phase of the project.
4. Is it feasible to relocate the Town Hall?
The Consulting Team concluded that not only is feasible to
relocate the municipal offices from the existing location
to Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, it is
recommended. Based on an investigation of the current and
future needs of the municipality, the proposed site can
support the size and design of the building that would be
required, as well as a significant civic realm. Just as
importantly, the potential long term benefits to the
citizens, the business community, and the development of a
downtown core are significant. The ability of the well-
24
designed civic centre complex to define a civic character,
create a place of identification and encourage
revitalization is well established by many precedents.
Relocating the Town hall aligns with two of the Town’s
priorities. Transit priorities for extending the Yonge
Subway to Richmond Hill within three kilometers of the
proposed site. As well as plans for Yonge Street to
accommodate bus rapid transit in the near future make the
priority, revitalization of the downtown, has seen Council
invest in this area by constructing the Richmond Hill
Centre for the Performing Arts, encouraging and supporting
the newly formed BIA, and directing that there be a
comprehensive land use and urban design study completed for
this area. Relocating the Town Hall to the downtown site
would provide further investment in the area. Although not
yet considered by Council, one of the preliminary
directions of the Downtown study is to relocate the Town
Hall and enhance civic presence downtown with additional
public facilities.
Conclusion:
In accordance with Council’s direction in January 2008,
this report has provided the results of a study completed
25
by a Consulting Team led by CS&P Architects on the
feasibility of relocating the Town’s municipal offices from
current location at 225 East Beaver Creek Road to a Town-
owned site at the south-west corner Yonge Street and Major
Mackenzie Drive.
LOCAL LITERATURE
As the researchers gather data, one of the most
suitable references for the study is the Municipality of
Sta. Barbara it encountered things that the New City Hall
of Dagupan could be encountering in the future, the
researchers interviewed key people such as the head of the
planning and development team and the head engineer of sta.
Barbara.
The main reason of the interview is to know the
following:
1. What do we need for our Town Hall in the future?
• Problems of the previous Town hall.
o The old Town Hall cannot accommodate the other
offices such as the Engineering office, library
and others. As the population increase from 2000
with a 64,261 people to 76,637 by 2010, demand
26
for service increases and the old town hall
cannot cater the demand for service.
o Parking spaces are limited due to population
increase.
o Traffic is continuously growing and cause a lot
of damage in the entire town.
o The old location of the town hall is not suitable
for all the future plans being plotted by the
head and officials of Sta. Barbara.
The listed problems are used to formulate the things
needed to properly serve and help the people of Sta.
Barbara.
• The barometer for the New Town Hall.
o An expose location to let people know that this
is the place of Sta. Barbara.

o A well-spaced land for a bigger Town hall and a
larger parking space.
o It should be next to the national road to make it
know to all that this is where Sta. Barbara is
located, and with a wider road traffic would not
be a problem.
o A location suitable for development.
o A Structurally sound and artful designed building
for the people of Sta. Barbara.
2. Will the Maningding support what is needed for a Town
Hall?
As the researchers make a survey around the new town
hall of Sta. Barbara to determine the capability of the
new location to support the needs of the town hall, they
arrived at some conclusion as follows:
• Urban Design Analysis: Around the new town hall are
lots ready for development for business, hospitals and
others. Further, the site can support the creation of
28
a gateway type development as an anchor to the
downtown area.
• Transportation Analysis: Public Utility Bus(PUB) going
to Manila take this route making the new Town Hall
visible and accessible to everyone, and Sta. Barbara
has a Public Utility Jeep(PUJ) circling dagupan going
to Sta. Barbara with the same route going to the new
town hall making it easy to reach it.
• Site Location Assessment: The research team continue
to dig data around the new site as well as the old
site of the Town hall, with a number of criteria
commonly used in the industry and based on the
interview, they concluded that Barangay Maningding is
superior based on the proximity of the Town’s
population, the broader public transit access cutting
the traffic effect from the old location and filling
the gap to an improved service for the people of Sta.
Barbara.
3. Is it feasible to relocate the Town Hall?
29
As the research team gathered data from the old
and the new town hall up to its new location,
transportation accessibility, service capability, by
the process of interview, investigation and survey,
the proposed site is feasible to relocate, it reached
the required barometer for the new town hall and
gives a promising location for the near future.
Furthermore it assures the New Town Hall that it can
serve the people for a long time, and it can increase
its municipal income for the future business around
it.
4. Issues arise after the construction of the New Town
Hall.
• It gets farther away from the main town of Sta.
Barbara.
As the Head of the Engineering office of Sta.
Barbara was ask he answered “change is necessary and
it is just a small one compared to a the positive gain
it can give for the people, as Leo Tolstoy a well-
known Russian writer said “Everyone thinks of changing
the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” And
30
it’s just one ride from the old town hall it’s not
that too far.”
• What could be the other structures to be built along
with the town hall?
The head of planning and development team answer and
said that an evacuation center will be constructed at the
back of the town hall, that can accommodate the people of
Sta. Barbara and if possible its surrounding
municipalities too.
5. What happened to the old town hall?
The old town hall still has the capability to be use
now it is being occupied by the COMELEC, the Engineering
department of Sta. Barbara and the fire station, having
the center as their location it would be easy for them to
respond and to do their community service or surveys
around the town.
6. What should be the best design of the New Town Hall?
• The face of the town hall was based on The Malacanang
Palace, the Greeks, and the Romans they considered a
31
classical design picturing how we Filipinos love
classics, futuristic design was not considered for the
thought is only for the classic design. by definition
the Town Hall or City Hall is strongly influenced by
history and part of its role is to reflect and embody
the specific history of a place.
Conclusion:
With the information gathered by the team from
the interview, high officials of Sta. Barbara are
proud to say that they relocated the town hall as it
is stated above it gives a lot of positive outcome
whether it is about the present or the future state of
the town it was a move that keeps Sta. Barbara on the
map, it may have a negative effect but it was overcome
by the positive effect which is considerably a great
move.
Comparison:
This section shows the comparison of the main topic
(The reloation of the Existing City from the downtown of
the city to De Venecia Extension Road and making it “Balon
City Hall Ya Dagupan”) to the international literation (The
relocation of the Town’s offices from 225 East Beaver Creek
32
Road to the Town-owned property at the south-west corner of
Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, in Downtown
Richmond Hill.) and the local literature (The relocation of
the town hall of Sta. Barbara from the center of Sta. to
Barangay Maningding along the Highway going to Manila)
Main topic and international literature.
• Both have the similarity regarding their existing
city/town hall such as the inadequate space for public
meetings and other civic functions. These constraints
cannot be addressed by renovation.
Main topic and local literature.
To a more realistic or nearer reference for the main
topic, through the gathered information about the Town Hall
of Sta. Barbara the group compared the two topics to
further help.
• Both of them have the same problem regarding their
existing city/town hall that is
o The old Town Hall does not have inadequate space
for public meetings and other civic functions.
These constraints cannot be addressed by
renovation.
33
o Parking spaces are limited due to population
increase.
o Traffic is continuously growing and causes a lot
of damage in the entire town.
o The old location of the town hall is not suitable
for all the future plans being plotted by the
head and officials of Sta. Barbara.
• The issues that arise after and before the relocation
and construction of the new Town hall of Sta. Barbara
could be the same for the New City Hall of Dagupan for
example.
o The issue about making a large gap between the
center of the town to the new proposed town hall.
o Where could the government get the money fund he
construction.
o The design for the new town hall.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methodology of the study
covering the research design, the source of the data, the
instrumentation and data collection, together with the
tools used for data analysis.
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study exhibits the descriptive-developmental
method of research using questionnaires, consultation,
interviews and document analysis. Descriptive research
design, in a sense that it helped the researchers determine
the respective attributes of the five-storey city hall
building in general and developmental aspect.
The descriptive study cannot determinatively give
exact answers to all questions, but it gives a rich data
that lead the researchers to important and valuable
recommendations. The researchers were able to obtain
further information as to the current status of the city
hall of dagupan in Urban Planning and design and had
described “What exists and what lacks” in the city with
regards to variables or conditions in the mentioned
situation.
CHAPTER III
48
SOURCES OF DATA
The primary source of data on this study was the
residents of dagupan and neighboring towns encircling
Dagupan. The city’s residents and its neighboring towns
were chosen as respondents since they are the main
beneficiaries of the proposed city hall, and are more
knowledgeable and qualified in the fruits of the
availability of the structure. The Engineers were also
interviewed about the design and analysis of the city hall
since this is their field of expertise.
SAMPLE PROCEDURE
A formula formulated for solving the sample size:
𝑛𝑛 =
𝑁𝑁
1 + 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁2
Where:
n Sample Size (Smaller group)
N Popular Size (Larger Group)
163,676 (Population of Dagupan listed in
2010 census’ record).
℮ Margin of error (the percentage of error is
allowed since only a sample is used and not the whole
population.)
49
5% assumed margin of error
𝑛𝑛 =
163,676
1 + (163,676)(.05)2
n = 399.5 say 400 respondents
To gather more data the surveyor will ask forty-five
respondents for this study based on the ranged of the
computation above. The frequencies of the study may come
from any in the age brockets in the questionnaires.
According to Dr. Garton, one method which is used in
identifying a sample size n from a population of size N is
the Random Sampling of which each possible sample size n
has the same chance of being selected. This strategy was
already proven to be the best procedure used by the
researchers for it renders every member of the population
an equal chance to be a sample.
INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA COLLECTION
The following instruments were used in gathering data
for this study:
• Questionnaires/Survey – was conducted and collected
nearby the proposed project location, around the
50
city and neighboring towns in order to determine
necessary information about the proposed projects.
• Consultations – The group consulted veteran
companies, professional engineers and people
involved in the proposed project to assist us in the
design of the proposed project.
• Documentary Analysis – This helped the researchers
gather information for the design and specification
of the proposed project through books and other
document references.
TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS
In the assessment of the project’s suitability from
the respondents’ perception, the researchers treated the
gathered data using a statistical tool refer to as the
Average Weighted Mean (Spiegel, p.45) with the formula:
𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊 =
Σ𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤
𝑁𝑁
Where:
WM = the weighted mean
w = the weighted factor
x = the point value of the item
N = no. of respondents
The researchers adopted the ranking response mode
51
where the respondents ranked a series of statements in
terms of the criterion presented to them. A numerical
boundary concept was used in interpreting the gathered
data. And so convert the computed Weighted Mean into its
descriptive rating, the following technique wad used.
RANK STATISTICAL LIMITS OF WEIGHTED
MEAN
DESCRIPTIVE
EQUIVALENT
1 1.5 – 2.0 PREFER
2 1.0 – 1.49 DO NOT PREFER
Before any action in gathering the data through the
questionnaires to be answered by the respondents,
permission was sought from our adviser as well as the
residents whom became our respondents. Our respondents were
guaranteed to be confidential with respect to their answer
and identities.

Interpretation of data:
The following interpretations aim to answer the
question. How acceptable is the proposed project.
1.)Is the existing city still feasible?
Base on the accumulated data that was gathered by
the researchers based on the survey conducted in
Dagupan, Pangasinan. As the pie graph shows the gap
between the yes and the no of the people concern
regarding the proposed project. It gives the
surveyor a result of 62% percent saying that the
existing city hall of Dagupan isn`t feasible no
more for the fast growing city.
2.)Would you agree for a new City hall?

  • 6. Chapter I INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the background of the study, the problem, the objective and significance of the study, basic assumptions and scope and delimitations. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Engineer is a person who were trained and exposed in designs and builds complicated products, machines, systems, or structures. Also, Civil Engineer is a person who practices civil engineering known as the application of planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, and operating infrastructures while protecting the public and environmental health, as well as improving existing infrastructures that have been neglected. Civil Engineers in the Philippines mostly construct structures like commercial buildings, storey houses, hotels and even city/municipal halls. On the other hand, a city hall is a structure that is composed of important offices needed in a city. It is also known as the main administrative building and houses of the local government where the following departments are housed and provide their services from the city hall namely General Management, Revenue Generation, Legal or Public Safety, Health, Infrastructure and Sanitation, Public 1
  • 7. Welfare Service, Education, Media Bureau, Electronic Data Processing Team, Emergency Team and Police Assistance, comparing it in a human body city hall is like the skull of the city where the head of the city lives. Dagupan City is known as one of the major cities in Pangasinan that has great trading products in the Philippines and in other country. It has taken a great part in the history of pioneer transportation in Northern Luzon. The City Hall which reflects the whole of the city, can be the parameter to measure how civilized a city is. Not to mention that all public transactions are being made in the said place. As of today, the City Hall of Dagupan is located at the heart of the city and is obviously congested; divided into different departments due to lack of space. The City Library is far out from Downtown proper while the City Engineer’s Office is located kilometers away from the City Hall. The demand for a new building is inevitable as the population and businesses increase. There must be a unification of the City Hall which includes added agencies and departments of the government. It then deserves to have a world class design that would cater a “One-stop-All- shop”. If this happens, it would be a great help to hasten all the processes the city has to offer. It would provide 2
  • 8. the people with a comfortable environment and a decongested road which then leads the way for a happy, relax and fast trip. The researchers notice that Dagupan City must have a Main City Hall that could supply all the important city offices in one structure. Due to the need of the said city and availability of the information needed, the researchers decided to Proposed a Five-Storey City Hall located at De Venecia Expressway Extension, Dagupan City Pangasinan. We the researchers has been approved to study this proposed case by the head of the actual and existing proposed project, Engr. Romeo C. Rosario, City Planning and Development Coordinator. 3
  • 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The researchers propose a five-storey City hall located at De Venecia Extension road in dagupan with an objective listed below: • To resolve the scattered departments of the City hall in dagupan. • To unify the different department of the city hall • To decongest traffic in the city. • To materialize the face of dagupan. As Lewis Mumford, The Culture of Cities describes how a city hall should be “The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant heap. But it is also a conscious work of art and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban form conditions minds. For spaces, no less than time, is artfully organized; in boundary lines and silhouettes, in the fixing of horizontal peaks and vertical peaks, in utilizing or denying the natural site, the city records the attitude of a culture and an epoch to the fundamental facts of its existence”. With a total lot area of 20,359 sq. meters the researchers has a lot of freedom to build a modernized and 4
  • 10. classical definition of it. Modified and well-spaced road is used for convenient parking areas for all vehicles. In lieu with the green building projects the company prepared a proper waste disposal management for the building, a well distributed recycled water would be supplying the structure fixed with proper and efficient fixtures, and the last thing is the reduction in the consumption of energy of the structure, insolated wall and natural ventilations would be provided as well as element in the building that would provide the maximum effect of light from the sun. The company prioritizes the environment, using environmental materials and methods. PROJECT LOCATION The proposed project is to be situated in Brgy. Pantal, Dagupan City, Pangasinan,along the Jose R. de Venecia Expressway Extension, Dagupan City. With approximately 2.4 km distance from the old city hall, it is quiet far from center town but as quoted by Honorable Mayor Belen T. Fernadez “Building the new city hall outside the downtown area will also spur development in the others parts of the city”. (http://punch.dagupan.com/articles/news/2013/08/fernandez- 5

The City of Dagupan is seated about 11 km east-north-east of province capital Lingayen about 178 km north-west of Philippine main capital Manila. The geographic coordinates of Dagupan City are 16° 3' 0'' N, 120° 19' 59'' E. According to the 2010 census, Dagupan City has a population of 163, 676 inhabitants and belongs to the 106 emerging cities in the Philippines with more than 100,000 residents. Based on the number of its inhabitants Dagupan City is number 75 of the most populous cities of the Philippines and at 54 in Luzon group of islands. With an area of 3723 hectares Dagupan City occupies a relatively small urban area. Accordingly, there is a high population density. In Dagupan City, by average, 4,017.03 people live in one square kilometer. With this value, Dagupan City is only number 32 in Luzon and is nationally ranked 36th of the most densely populated cities in the Philippines. According to the Philippine income classification for provinces, cities and municipalities Dagupan City is a 2nd class component city. The urbanization status of Dagupan City is classified as urban.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM To make Dagupan City known around the world, this city continues to devise new businesses focused on transforming its vision to reality to make it globally competitive in every way. On July 8, 2013, Honorable Belen T. Fernandez, Mayor of Dagupan City is shopping for a new possible site for a New Dagupan City Hall since other offices including City Health Office, Police Assistance, City Engineers office and other are not intact in one structure. (http://punch.dagupan.com/articles/news/2013/07/mayor- belen-shopping-for-new-city-hall-and-fishport-sites/). MAJOR PROBLEM • What would be the relevant design of the City Hall building that is to be constructed in Dagupan City having 2.035 Hectares? MINOR PROBLEMS: • What could be the additional offices that the city hall could cater? 9
  • 15. • What should be the best materials to choose in the pursuit of promoting Green Engineering and sustainability? IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY This project study will benefit all the drivers and commuters around the city, decreasing their travel time and money spent. More importantly, concerned citizens and foreigners will have easy access to different government transactions. Dagupan, being one of the established cities around Pangasinan, has an economy that continues to increase through time. With a total lot area of 20,359 sq. meters, the City Hall will be built with beautiful parks and astounding views which will serve as a place of relaxation for everyone who visits the City Hall. Having this kind of cool and sociable atmosphere; tension, stress, fatigue and other negativities will be decreased greatly resulting to happy, convenient and more satisfying transactions. SCOPE AND DELIMINATION The feasibility study analysis is for the five-storey unification and upgrade of the City Hall of Dagupan that will be located at De Venecia Extension road, Dagupan City. It has a total lot area of 20,359 sq. meters. The study is 10
  • 16. composed of the architectural design of the building, including its structural design and analysis, plumbing schedules, electrical plan, estimates and bills of the new City Hall of Dagupan. The project has reached all possible requirements in its management, environmental, financial, and technical aspect. Thus, the scope and delimitation of the project are listed below: The group could not actually fill the geotechnical investigation due to constriction of resources, time and manpower. However, the soil bearing capacities is made available by the City Engineering Office of Dagupan. Also, the proper bidding of the project has never transpired due to lack of experience of such knowledge. On the other hand, this project has been assumed as the winning bidder for the New City Hall of Dagupan. Moreover, fields such as mechanical and technical aspects will have little observation and attention due to lack of knowledge and experience in the said areas. BASIC ASSUMPTIONS These are the basic assumptions considered in the study: 1. The proposed project is a government property. 11
  • 17. 2. Our company has won the bidding of the New City Hall of Dagupan. 3. Proper rerouting of PUV, PUJ and PUB going to the New City Hall “ Balon City Hall Ya Dagupan” has been implemented. 4. It is assumed that all the requirements of mechanical, technical, financial, social and environmental management are met properly. 5. It is assumed that the safety of the residents surrounding the site is observed to prevent accidents during and after the construction. 6. Material test have been made in all materials to be used and are meeting the ASTM standards. 7. It is assumed that the residents surrounding the site, barangay, city officials, were fully informed of the project and approved with complete knowledge and agreed on the consequences that may occur during and after the project construction. 8. It is assumed that all geotechnical data gathered and used in the designs are reliable. 12

  • 21. CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES This chapter presents the literatures allied to the current study. They are thoroughly reviewed and meticulously analysed by the researchers to further elucidate their study’s statement of problem, formulated conceptual framework and to gather more information or data by asking people using survey questionnaire or interviewing people with authority if possible. Primarily, the focus of this study is the design to be constructed for the New City Hall of Dagupan City which will supply the most convenient and most operative services to the people of dagupan and the entire Pangasinan as well. The researchers continue to be inspired by other cities around the world that allows their city hall truly reflect what the city is made of, with respect to the design and posture of the structure. A city hall is a typology, that by definition, is strongly influenced by history and part of its role is to reflect and embody the specific history of a place. In that it needs to be sensitive to the history of a place there is an opportunity to set an important precedent as to how a modern building should respond to the context. Therefore it 16
  • 22. can establish a pattern for future urban growth and form. The typological study of a city hall is also a vehicle to comment on the nature of a true public building. On the other hand, the related literature and studies that were reviewed to the present study focused mainly on the topics indicated from the specific problems stated in Chapter 1. These topics are as follows: (a) the present condition of the existing city hall of dagupan; (b) the feasibility of the new location proposed for the “New City Hall of Dagupan”; (c) if the City Hall would be the face of the city what should it look like?, what would be the most suitable design to maximize its function as a government structure. FOREIGN LITERATURE In July 2007, Council directed staff of Richmond Hill Ontario, Canada bring a business case on relocating the Town’s offices from 225 East Beaver Creek Road to the Town- owned property at the south-west corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, in Downtown Richmond Hill. In January 2008, Council approved a project budget for retaining a consultant to complete a feasibility study for relocation of Town hall, added the project to the ten year capital forecast and directed staff to report back with 17
  • 23. results of the feasibility study in the fall of 2008. This report addresses that direction. 4 History and Context of the Town-owned Lands at Yonge Street and Major Mackenzire Drive The Town-owned site at the south-west corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive was previously considered as a location for a new municipal office building in the late 1980s and early 1990s as part of a plan to consolidate Town staff in one location. The early vision for this site was multi-functional and included both public and private uses. However, at that time, the Town opted to relocate to the current Town Hall at 225 East Beaver Creek Road and proceed with the construction of the Central Library at the site. Study Approach and Process As result of a request for proposal process approved by Council in January 2008, a consulting team led by CS&P Architects was selected to carry out the Town Hall relocation Feasibility Study. This included examining the need, objectives, opportunities created, opportunities lost, cost and benefits of the project and preparing the three building program options, ensuring that these can be 18
  • 24. accommodated at the site. They were also asked to provide an estimated cost for each new Town Hall option including the design, construction, furniture, fixtures and equipment and occupancy and annual operating costs taking into account the Town’s Sustainable Design and Construction Policy. Finally, the consulting team was asked to develop a realistic project schedule for the remainder of the project, should Council choose to continue with the relocation of the Town’s municipal offices. The Feasibility Study The Town Hall Relocation Feasibility Study prepared by the Consulting Team is attached to this report as Appendix 1. The Feasibility Study answers four key questions, summarized below. 1. What do we need for our Town Hall in the future? The Consulting Team reviewed the existing municipal offices at 225 East Beaver Creek Road, interviewed key stakeholders about how building met the Town’s needs, projected future need of the organization and referenced the size and building programs of the other municipalities. Their conclusions were as follows: 19
  • 25. • The existing Town Hall does not have a high visibility to the community and lacks civic character. It also inadequate space for public meetings and other civic functions. These constraints cannot be addressed by renovation. • When compared with six other municipalities of a similar size, the size and ratio of population and Town staff to floor area was consistent with these other municipalities. • Using a staff projection of 5.6 additional full time staff per year (based on a five year average of staff added to main municipal offices approved in the Town’s budget), the existing Town hall provides room for future growth to approximately 2028. • Using the same staff projections, three program options were developed for a new Town Hall to accommodate 5, 10 and 20 years growth. The excess space would be leased until the point at which growth necessitated its use for Town purposes. These options assumed a move-in date of 2013. o Option 1: Five years growth to 2018(174,542 square feet of gross floor area) o Option 2: Ten years growth to 2023 with additional space for an expanded Council Chamber, 20
  • 26. multi-purpose room, child care centre and cafeteria.(195,684 square feet of gross floor area) o Option 3: Twenty years growth 2033 with further additional space for the Council Chamber, multi- purpose room, child care centre and cafeteria. (226,138 square feet of gross floor area) • The number of parking spaces required, including underground parking, was developed and included in the three options. The Consulting Team recommended that should the Town choose to build a new Town Hall facility it be built to accommodate growth to at least 2023 as identified in Option 2. They further recommended that parking be built on the site at a rate of 2.1 spaces per 1000 square feet which would translate into a modest incentive toward alternative transportation use by staff, including transit, cycling and carpooling. 2. Will the Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive site support what we need for a Town Hall? The Consulting Team reviewed the site from a number of perspectives to determine whether it can support what is 21
  • 27. needed for a Town Hall. • Urban Design Analysis: The Yonge/Major Mackenzie site can be developed in such a way as to maintain important view corridors, be accessible to pedestrian and vehicle circulation routes, including transit, and integrate with the streetscape. Further, the site can support the creation of a gateway type development as an anchor to the downtown area. • Transportation Analysis: The Yonge/Major Mackenzie site can support parking requirements through a variety of underground, surface and on-street parking. It will also benefit from transit access, expected to further improve over time. • Site Location Assessment: The Consulting Team evaluated the Yonge/Major Mackenzie site as well as the site of the current Town Hall based on a number of criteria commonly used in the industry. While some of the criteria are less significant in assessing the location of a public building, they concluded that the Yonge/Major Mackenzie site was superior based on the proximity of the Town’s population, the broader public transit access and the place making capabilities of the site. 22
  • 28. • Site Development Options: The Consulting Team identified a preferred design option that incorporated the urban design and transportation analyses as well as providing space for civic square that would take advantage of existing physical characteristics of the site. This design option can include a tower of up to nine stories (depending on the program option chosen) and a 2 storey public arm to house Council Chambers and other civic and public areas. The preferred design option also allows for space for future development at the south end of the site, either through private partnerships or to meet future Town needs. 3. How much will it cost to relocate the municipal offices to a new Town Hall at Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive? Based on 2008 dollar values, the Consulting Team provided total project order of magnitude cost estimates for each of the three program options. A summary of these costs is provided below.

Total Project Costs in 2008 dollars $80,196,000 $92,080,000 $106,861,000 The Consulting Team’s cost analysis provides a range of program options that would cost between $80 million and $ 107 million for the construction of a Town Hall on the Town-owned lands at the south west corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive. These were order of magnitude costs established for the purposes of the feasibility study only. It is important to note that more accurate costing will be determined during the design phase of the project. 4. Is it feasible to relocate the Town Hall? The Consulting Team concluded that not only is feasible to relocate the municipal offices from the existing location to Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, it is recommended. Based on an investigation of the current and future needs of the municipality, the proposed site can support the size and design of the building that would be required, as well as a significant civic realm. Just as importantly, the potential long term benefits to the citizens, the business community, and the development of a downtown core are significant. The ability of the well- 24
  • 30. designed civic centre complex to define a civic character, create a place of identification and encourage revitalization is well established by many precedents. Relocating the Town hall aligns with two of the Town’s priorities. Transit priorities for extending the Yonge Subway to Richmond Hill within three kilometers of the proposed site. As well as plans for Yonge Street to accommodate bus rapid transit in the near future make the priority, revitalization of the downtown, has seen Council invest in this area by constructing the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, encouraging and supporting the newly formed BIA, and directing that there be a comprehensive land use and urban design study completed for this area. Relocating the Town Hall to the downtown site would provide further investment in the area. Although not yet considered by Council, one of the preliminary directions of the Downtown study is to relocate the Town Hall and enhance civic presence downtown with additional public facilities. Conclusion: In accordance with Council’s direction in January 2008, this report has provided the results of a study completed 25
  • 31. by a Consulting Team led by CS&P Architects on the feasibility of relocating the Town’s municipal offices from current location at 225 East Beaver Creek Road to a Town- owned site at the south-west corner Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive. LOCAL LITERATURE As the researchers gather data, one of the most suitable references for the study is the Municipality of Sta. Barbara it encountered things that the New City Hall of Dagupan could be encountering in the future, the researchers interviewed key people such as the head of the planning and development team and the head engineer of sta. Barbara. The main reason of the interview is to know the following: 1. What do we need for our Town Hall in the future? • Problems of the previous Town hall. o The old Town Hall cannot accommodate the other offices such as the Engineering office, library and others. As the population increase from 2000 with a 64,261 people to 76,637 by 2010, demand 26
  • 32. for service increases and the old town hall cannot cater the demand for service. o Parking spaces are limited due to population increase. o Traffic is continuously growing and cause a lot of damage in the entire town. o The old location of the town hall is not suitable for all the future plans being plotted by the head and officials of Sta. Barbara. The listed problems are used to formulate the things needed to properly serve and help the people of Sta. Barbara. • The barometer for the New Town Hall. o An expose location to let people know that this is the place of Sta. Barbara. 27
  • 33. o A well-spaced land for a bigger Town hall and a larger parking space. o It should be next to the national road to make it know to all that this is where Sta. Barbara is located, and with a wider road traffic would not be a problem. o A location suitable for development. o A Structurally sound and artful designed building for the people of Sta. Barbara. 2. Will the Maningding support what is needed for a Town Hall? As the researchers make a survey around the new town hall of Sta. Barbara to determine the capability of the new location to support the needs of the town hall, they arrived at some conclusion as follows: • Urban Design Analysis: Around the new town hall are lots ready for development for business, hospitals and others. Further, the site can support the creation of 28
  • 34. a gateway type development as an anchor to the downtown area. • Transportation Analysis: Public Utility Bus(PUB) going to Manila take this route making the new Town Hall visible and accessible to everyone, and Sta. Barbara has a Public Utility Jeep(PUJ) circling dagupan going to Sta. Barbara with the same route going to the new town hall making it easy to reach it. • Site Location Assessment: The research team continue to dig data around the new site as well as the old site of the Town hall, with a number of criteria commonly used in the industry and based on the interview, they concluded that Barangay Maningding is superior based on the proximity of the Town’s population, the broader public transit access cutting the traffic effect from the old location and filling the gap to an improved service for the people of Sta. Barbara. 3. Is it feasible to relocate the Town Hall? 29
  • 35. As the research team gathered data from the old and the new town hall up to its new location, transportation accessibility, service capability, by the process of interview, investigation and survey, the proposed site is feasible to relocate, it reached the required barometer for the new town hall and gives a promising location for the near future. Furthermore it assures the New Town Hall that it can serve the people for a long time, and it can increase its municipal income for the future business around it. 4. Issues arise after the construction of the New Town Hall. • It gets farther away from the main town of Sta. Barbara. As the Head of the Engineering office of Sta. Barbara was ask he answered “change is necessary and it is just a small one compared to a the positive gain it can give for the people, as Leo Tolstoy a well- known Russian writer said “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” And 30
  • 36. it’s just one ride from the old town hall it’s not that too far.” • What could be the other structures to be built along with the town hall? The head of planning and development team answer and said that an evacuation center will be constructed at the back of the town hall, that can accommodate the people of Sta. Barbara and if possible its surrounding municipalities too. 5. What happened to the old town hall? The old town hall still has the capability to be use now it is being occupied by the COMELEC, the Engineering department of Sta. Barbara and the fire station, having the center as their location it would be easy for them to respond and to do their community service or surveys around the town. 6. What should be the best design of the New Town Hall? • The face of the town hall was based on The Malacanang Palace, the Greeks, and the Romans they considered a 31
  • 37. classical design picturing how we Filipinos love classics, futuristic design was not considered for the thought is only for the classic design. by definition the Town Hall or City Hall is strongly influenced by history and part of its role is to reflect and embody the specific history of a place. Conclusion: With the information gathered by the team from the interview, high officials of Sta. Barbara are proud to say that they relocated the town hall as it is stated above it gives a lot of positive outcome whether it is about the present or the future state of the town it was a move that keeps Sta. Barbara on the map, it may have a negative effect but it was overcome by the positive effect which is considerably a great move. Comparison: This section shows the comparison of the main topic (The reloation of the Existing City from the downtown of the city to De Venecia Extension Road and making it “Balon City Hall Ya Dagupan”) to the international literation (The relocation of the Town’s offices from 225 East Beaver Creek 32
  • 38. Road to the Town-owned property at the south-west corner of Yonge Street and Major Mackenzie Drive, in Downtown Richmond Hill.) and the local literature (The relocation of the town hall of Sta. Barbara from the center of Sta. to Barangay Maningding along the Highway going to Manila) Main topic and international literature. • Both have the similarity regarding their existing city/town hall such as the inadequate space for public meetings and other civic functions. These constraints cannot be addressed by renovation. Main topic and local literature. To a more realistic or nearer reference for the main topic, through the gathered information about the Town Hall of Sta. Barbara the group compared the two topics to further help. • Both of them have the same problem regarding their existing city/town hall that is o The old Town Hall does not have inadequate space for public meetings and other civic functions. These constraints cannot be addressed by renovation. 33
  • 39. o Parking spaces are limited due to population increase. o Traffic is continuously growing and causes a lot of damage in the entire town. o The old location of the town hall is not suitable for all the future plans being plotted by the head and officials of Sta. Barbara. • The issues that arise after and before the relocation and construction of the new Town hall of Sta. Barbara could be the same for the New City Hall of Dagupan for example. o The issue about making a large gap between the center of the town to the new proposed town hall. o Where could the government get the money fund he construction. o The design for the new town hall. 34

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY This chapter presents the methodology of the study covering the research design, the source of the data, the instrumentation and data collection, together with the tools used for data analysis. RESEARCH DESIGN This study exhibits the descriptive-developmental method of research using questionnaires, consultation, interviews and document analysis. Descriptive research design, in a sense that it helped the researchers determine the respective attributes of the five-storey city hall building in general and developmental aspect. The descriptive study cannot determinatively give exact answers to all questions, but it gives a rich data that lead the researchers to important and valuable recommendations. The researchers were able to obtain further information as to the current status of the city hall of dagupan in Urban Planning and design and had described “What exists and what lacks” in the city with regards to variables or conditions in the mentioned situation. CHAPTER III 48
  • 54. SOURCES OF DATA The primary source of data on this study was the residents of dagupan and neighboring towns encircling Dagupan. The city’s residents and its neighboring towns were chosen as respondents since they are the main beneficiaries of the proposed city hall, and are more knowledgeable and qualified in the fruits of the availability of the structure. The Engineers were also interviewed about the design and analysis of the city hall since this is their field of expertise. SAMPLE PROCEDURE A formula formulated for solving the sample size: 𝑛𝑛 = 𝑁𝑁 1 + 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁2 Where: n Sample Size (Smaller group) N Popular Size (Larger Group) 163,676 (Population of Dagupan listed in 2010 census’ record). ℮ Margin of error (the percentage of error is allowed since only a sample is used and not the whole population.) 49
  • 55. 5% assumed margin of error 𝑛𝑛 = 163,676 1 + (163,676)(.05)2 n = 399.5 say 400 respondents To gather more data the surveyor will ask forty-five respondents for this study based on the ranged of the computation above. The frequencies of the study may come from any in the age brockets in the questionnaires. According to Dr. Garton, one method which is used in identifying a sample size n from a population of size N is the Random Sampling of which each possible sample size n has the same chance of being selected. This strategy was already proven to be the best procedure used by the researchers for it renders every member of the population an equal chance to be a sample. INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA COLLECTION The following instruments were used in gathering data for this study: • Questionnaires/Survey – was conducted and collected nearby the proposed project location, around the 50
  • 56. city and neighboring towns in order to determine necessary information about the proposed projects. • Consultations – The group consulted veteran companies, professional engineers and people involved in the proposed project to assist us in the design of the proposed project. • Documentary Analysis – This helped the researchers gather information for the design and specification of the proposed project through books and other document references. TOOLS FOR DATA ANALYSIS In the assessment of the project’s suitability from the respondents’ perception, the researchers treated the gathered data using a statistical tool refer to as the Average Weighted Mean (Spiegel, p.45) with the formula: 𝑊𝑊𝑊𝑊 = Σ𝑤𝑤𝑤𝑤 𝑁𝑁 Where: WM = the weighted mean w = the weighted factor x = the point value of the item N = no. of respondents The researchers adopted the ranking response mode 51
  • 57. where the respondents ranked a series of statements in terms of the criterion presented to them. A numerical boundary concept was used in interpreting the gathered data. And so convert the computed Weighted Mean into its descriptive rating, the following technique wad used. RANK STATISTICAL LIMITS OF WEIGHTED MEAN DESCRIPTIVE EQUIVALENT 1 1.5 – 2.0 PREFER 2 1.0 – 1.49 DO NOT PREFER Before any action in gathering the data through the questionnaires to be answered by the respondents, permission was sought from our adviser as well as the residents whom became our respondents. Our respondents were guaranteed to be confidential with respect to their answer and identities. 52
