EFFECT OF POOR URBAN PLANNING IN THE PHILIPPINES

II.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: (refers to the overview of the

project

discussing

the

factors

that

have

led

to

the

conceptualization of the problem).

Urban

planning is

concerned

with

the

technical

and

development

political
and use

process

of

land,

protection and use of the environment, public welfare,

and the design of the urban environment, including air,
water,

and

the

infrastructure

passing

into

and

out

of urban areas, such as transportation, communications,

and distribution

networks. The

layout

of

towns,

cities

and buildings influences the amount of exercise which

people take naturally in their daily lives. The report,
Building

Health,

provides

blueprint

for

action,

including changing transport policies in which 'the car

is king', and locating housing, shops and services to
encourage walking and cycling.

III. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: (refers to the problems, both

general and specific, which the research proponent hopes
to solve or offer solutions to).

RAMMED

EARTH

AS

ECO-FRIENDLY

AND

SUSTAINABLE

BUILDING MATERIALS
II.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: (refers to the overview of the

project

discussing

the

factors

that

have

led

to

the

conceptualization of the problem).

Building a rammed-earth wall involves compressing a damp
mixture

of

earth

that

of sand, gravel and clay

has

into

suitable

an

proportions

externally

supported

frame or mould, creating either a solid wall of earth or

individual blocks. Rammed-earth structures are thought to
be

more

sustainable

and

environmentally

friendly

than

popular building techniques. In modern variations of the

method,

rammed-earth

walls

are

constructed

on

top

of

conventional footings or a reinforced concrete slab base.

Some modern builders also add coloured oxides or other
items, such as bottles, tires, or pieces of timber, to
add variety to the structure.

III. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: (refers to the problems, both

general and specific, which the research proponent hopes
to solve or offer solutions to).
The study aims to determine the use of a rammed earth in
any aspect of constructing. Specifically, it sought to
answer the following sub problem: 1.) what would be the
effect through the user health? 2.) does this material is
better

in

any

aspect

of

construction?

3.)

how

material make a sustainable and eco living material?

the Philippines that will need to have a sustainable and
healthy environment. So the main agenda of this research
is to make a questionnaire about the awareness of our
environment and the negative and positive effect of the
material that will use in construction.
