INTRODUCTION

A house is one of the most basic human needs and in a general sense it

represents the smallest unit from where the town planning scheme emerges.

According to UNHabitat (2009), it is the first unit of a society and the primary unit

of human habitation. For most people, a house represents the largest investment

of their life. In general, housing is one of the major components of the social and

economic development of a society, and a result of multiple social, economic, and

physical processes that involve issues of location, construction quality, cost, long-

term financing, and household preferences.

Houses must be so located and designed that they afford convenience,

amenity, health and social life to community. Housing has potentiality to a great

extent in promoting human welfare, social life, economic growth, health of

community and various other aspects of human life. It is a commodity which is very

much heterogeneous in nature. In the definition of Institute of Town Planners

Journal (2011) housing quality varies widely based on peoples’ perspectives. A

good habitat requires enough space, separate rooms for different purposes and

enough privacy, good climatic conditions such as enough sunlight, free passing of

air and availability of water nearby, good drainage and sanitary facilities.

Subdivision has a variety of meanings between jurisdictions, in degree of

detail and in anticipated/legislated timing of development. A subdivision is a small

planning scheme. In scale and detail of provisions, subdivisions vary from what

would appear more like an outline or area structure plan by some developers that

creates a very detailed site plan.

 2

In this study, preparing a development planning is an exacting process that

utilizes site analysis and data regarding on the characteristics and factors that

affecting the particular site. The first step is to compile good data on the selected

area and the surrounding of subdivision, including streets, neighbour hoods and

other pertinent factors.

For this study, it’s also focuses on the site analysis process, where it is

needed to define the problem and purpose for determining the development of a

study area. Defining the problem would be the most difficult process since it need

to directly answer the questions which needed by the researcher to continue. The

gathered information about the area which specify the details and site

characteristics needed to investigate, determine and evaluate for a site plan. The

responsibility of the researchers is to identify and take into consideration of the

objectives and conducting an ocular inspection to determine the purpose of the

study.

Site Analysis is a very important aspect of the site planning process where

it identifies through research all issues relating to the specific site and its natural

features. It is not just collecting an information about the site but to identify issues

that will influence the design of a development in order to make a considered

respond to both side opportunities and constraints, to provide a good quality living

environment and improve the character of the area.

Study Area

Villa Nadine is an exclusive development subdivision, conveniently located

along Barangay. Acocolao Paniqui, Tarlac, where it is a 1.2km from Paniqui Public

Market and Plaza. Over all it has ninety one (91) units having three (3) types of

Houses.

Units have been designed into a Row House containing a lot area of 84

sq.m2 and floor area of 76 sq.m2, second is the Town House having a lot area of

84 sq.m2 and floor area of 120 sq.m2. Lastly is the Single-detached House

possessing a wide Lot area of 125 sq.m2 and floor area of 150 sq.m2.

The said subdivision is quite well developed with an excellent design of the

dwellings and proper basic services However, the topography of the land is low

level with the national road. Moreover for the level of design it is more likely a

western model type, therefore the measurement of sustainability of a housing

models is providing an affordable and sustainable outcomes across the full range

of conditions.

Review of Related Literature

SWOT Analysis for Building Development.

As eloquently said by Shala Munroe (2018) building developments can take

years and sometimes millions of dollars to complete. Before you commit to a site

and a building plan, perform a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses,

opportunities and threats internally on your company and externally on the plan.

This helps you decide if the project is viable and helps you create a successful

building development. When creating your SWOT analysis, always start with a

fresh set of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Sometimes, an

issue that is a threat in one project, such as the lack of a certain type of technology,

can be an opportunity in the next project the investors may care enough about the

new technology to pay extra so you can purchase it.

Neighbourhood SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis (alternative SWOT Matrix) is a structured planning method

used to evaluate the Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threat involves in

 14

the project or in a business. According to Jayson Stopa (2013) strength

characteristics of the business or project over other. Weaknesses are

characteristics that place the team at a disadvantage relative to others.

Opportunities are elements that the project could exploit to its advantage. And

Threat are elements in the environment that could cause trouble for the business

or project

SWOT Analysis for Real Estate Agents

As stated by Jason Van Steenwyk (2009), the standard SWOT analysis, as

we know, it was developed by Albert S. Humphrey, a successful management

consultant in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Humphrey was looking for a tool that went beyond

maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses; he wanted one that addressed

how those strengths and weaknesses interacted with the broader business

environment. SWOT stands for Strengths Weaknesses Threats Opportunities.

Once you have a list of your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats

written out, the next step is to develop a concrete plan of action. Your plan should

Take advantage of every strength, Minimize, mitigate or eliminate each weakness,

Take advantage of every opportunity, and neutralize every threat.

Subdivision Method of Land & Site Valuation

The subdivision method involves an analysis of four important factors. The

first factor is the timing of the sale of each parcel, as well as any assumptions of

value increase. Second is accounting for holding costs. This could include a variety
 15

of expenses, such as improvements in infrastructure, taxes, special assessments,

marketing, management, commissions to be paid, closing costs, and more. Next

the analyst will estimate the absorption period for each individual parcel. And

finally, a suitable discount rate will be chosen to be applied to the cash flows over

the time of parcel sales. Kyle Aken (2015) stated that once these four factors have

been analyzed, then preparation of a discounted cash-flow analysis begins,

utilizing information from the entire process to yield a net present value of the

land/site.

With this analysis assessors will determine highest and best use. That is,

they will determine what will be the best and most profitable use of the land. Let's

take a residential subdivision as an example. The assessor would apply the

subdivision method by estimating the costs of developing the entire land parcel

into a subdivision, and then subtract these costs from the estimated or predicted

sale prices of the developed individual parcels.

Location market analysis & new site prospecting using demographic based

map statistics

Location Analysis by Visual Crossing Corporation (2018) is an easy-to-use

and powerful tool for evaluating & finding the ideal locations for your business.

Using a distance and attraction model, Location Analysis processes hundreds of

thousands of rows of demographic data to determine where strong concentrations

of value exist. Whether you are trying to compare your locations to competitors,
 16

evaluate new locations or simply display your available access to specific

demographic groups, Visual Crossing Location Analysis can will deliver key insight

into your existing and potential locations.

 17

Review of Related Studies

In the study of Sourav Bhadra, “Site Analysis for Private Housing Project: A

Case Study on Surikhal, Khulna, Bangladesh” is about site analysis which is more

than just collecting information about the site. The site analysis should identify

issues that will influence the design of a development in order to make a

considered respond to both side opportunities and constraints, to provide a good

quality living environment and improve the character of the area.

As stated by Kellekci and Berkozd (2006) their study showed that the most

significant factors increasing level of satisfaction are centrality in the subject

of accessibility, maintenance of the environment in the subject of inhabited

environmental features, satisfaction in the recreation areas in the subject of

environmental quality variants, structural-environmental security of the housing in

the subject of security, good neighbour relationships in the subject of neighbour

relationships, and physical appearance in the subject of housing environment and

physical appearances. Consequently, centrality, maintenance of the

environment, satisfaction in the recreation areas, structural-environmental

security of the housing, neighbour relationships, and physical appearance are the

most influential factors to increase user satisfaction in housing and

environmental quality in mass housing areas in Istanbul Metropolitan Area.

The research of Salleh (2008) in Malaysia on private low-cost housing

indicated that satisfaction levels are generally higher with dwelling units and

services provided by the developers than neighbourhood facilities and

environment. However, the contributing factors for the low level of satisfaction with
 18

neighbourhood facilities and environment were poor public transportation and lack

of children playgrounds, community halls, car parks, security and disability

facilities.

Ariffin et al. (2010) investigated the factors which are likely to affect

residential satisfaction in low-cost housing in Malaysia's urban area using a case

study of the Klang Valley. The authors also compared resident’s satisfaction

level between different housing areas in the study area. The findings revealed that

the occupants of low-cost housing are dissatisfied with the facilities provided by

private developers and almost all dwelling unit features affect residential

satisfaction except number of socket and dwelling size. This finding is

contradictory to several studies that find dwelling size as one of the important

factors determining residential satisfaction.

Furthermore, Mohit et al. (2010) provided an assessment of residential

satisfaction of newly designed public low-cost housing dwellers of Kuala Lumpur,

Malaysia, with forty-five variables grouped into five components – dwelling unit

features, dwelling unit support services, public facilities, social environment and

neighbourhood facilities. Findings from the study indicated that residents were

moderately satisfied with dwelling unit support services, followed by public and

neighbourhood facilities than dwelling unit features and social environment,

which have higher percentage of respondents with low level of satisfaction.

Also, residential satisfaction index has high positive correlations with dwelling unit

features, social environment, support services and public facilities, and low positive

correlation with neighbourhood facilities and socio-economic attributes of the

 19

residents such as age, family size, working wives, previous residence are

negatively correlated with residential satisfaction, whereas residents’ race,

employment type, floor level and length of residency are positively correlated with

residential satisfaction.

CHAPTER III
METHODS OF RESEARCH AND PROCEDURES

This deals with the methods and procedures used by the researchers in

analysing gathered data.

Research Method

This study used the descriptive survey method. It also used the quantitative

and qualitative research method, wherein the researchers conduct the survey with

the use of interview method, rating scale and questionnaire. This interview method,

rating scale, questionnaire will help the researchers find out the quality of the

services of the housing project and the current condition of the respondents to

attain its objective. Through mapping, it will help to display a much more accurate

information to describe the location of the housing project.

Respondents

The respondents of this study are the residents of the Villa Nadine

Subdivision. The number of samples was determined using the Slovin’s formula.

Research Tools

In order to collect a data in this study, we will use a questionnaires and an

application which is the Geographic Information System (GIS) to produce a map.

In the survey questionnaires, the questions is about the profile status of the

respondents or residents and satisfaction rate regarding to the dwellings of Villa

Nadine Subdivision and its Basic Services.

Data Analysis

Prior to the collection of data, the researchers used frequency counts,

percentage and ranking in analyzing the data.

The formula that was used:

𝑭
P= x 100
𝑵

Where:

P = Percentage

F = Frequency

N = Number of Samples
 22

Data Gathering Procedure

The data are gathered from the responds of residents of the Villa Nadine

Subdivision through the questionnaires. The household answered the

questionnaires which used as a primary tool that needed for this study.

In mapping, the researcher downloaded an image of the Baranggay

Acocolao, Pura Tarlac. Then, the downloaded image was inserted in a Quantum

GIS software for geo-referencing and in creating a map.

Data were collected from the answers given by the respondents based on

their actual accounts, perspective, observing and experiences pertaining to the

services given by the housing projected.

The researchers asked permission to the owner of the Villa Nadine through

a Letter of Request to allow them to conduct a survey and administer

questionnaires to the residents of said subdivision. Upon the approval of the

request to conduct the survey, unfortunately the owner of the subdivision didn’t

allow the researcher to have a closely interview with the residents. So upon on it

the researchers give the questionnaires to the staff and take charge to contribute

the questionnaires into each household. As the respondents finished answering

the questionnaires, the researchers retrieved them. The data collected are going

to be consolidated, tabulated, analyzed and treated statistically.

Treatment of Data

Responses to the items in the questionnaire are measured using the 5-point

Liker-scale as Excellent, Very Satisfactory, Satisfactory, Fair and Poor.

S.W.O.T. Criteria

Strengths are the qualities and current factors that gives beneficial aspects

and capabilities within the Area such as:

 Services

 Location of Government Offices and Utility Services within 3km radius

 Access of Roads

 Types of Land Use

 Educational Land

Weaknesses deteriorate the qualities that prevent the area from achieving

full potential and creating a disadvantage.

 Geographic Feature of Land

Opportunities are positive where the area can benefit and take advantage

of them, but they cannot be ‘produced’ as and when desired

 Vacant Lot.

 Job

Threats arise when conditions in the external environment jeopardize the

reliability and effectiveness of the area. They are uncontrollable, and

vulnerability when they relate to the identified weaknesses.

CHAPTER V
SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary

This study entitled “Site Analysis of the Villa Nadine Subdivision on

Barangay Acocolao Paniqui Tarlac’’ was conducted to determine the status

location of the Villa Nadine in terms of; Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and

Threats. Also, the study aimed to determine the awareness of the residents in the

dwellings and basic services. Moreover, the study intended to describe the

percentage of the satisfaction rate that are generated through the condition of the

dwellings and the satisfaction rate of the residents in the basic services. Lastly, the

study engaged to the software Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to

produce a map to display a much more accurate information to describe the

location of the subdivision.

The results of the study showed that in the SWOT analysis, Strength has

the most numbers of criteria while the Threat has the least criteria listed. Also, in

the criteria of the condition of dwellings all of them garnered a verbal description

of Very Satisfactory and the Accessory Dwelling Unit get the highest score
