CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Philippines is one of the most natural hazard-prone countries in the world.
The social and economic cost of natural disasters in the country is increasing due to
population growth, change in land-use patterns, migration, unplanned urbanization,
environmental degradation and global climate change. Reducing the risk of disasters
will be key to achieving the development goals in the Philippines.
According to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction
(UNISDR),The Philippines was fourth in the world among countries hit by the highest
number of disasters over the past 20 years. A total of 274 disasters were recorded in
the Philippines from 1995 to 2015, trailing the United States (472), China (441), and
India (288). The philippines is also among the top 10 countries with the highest
absolute number of affected people, with 130 million. ( Bea Montenegro, 2015)
The Philippines has suffered from an inexhaustible number of deadly typhoons,
earthquakes, volcano eruptions and other natural disasters. This is due to its location
along the Ring of Fire, or typhoon belt – a large Pacific Ocean region where many of
Earth’s volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur. Annually, approximately 80

typhoons develop above tropical waters, of which 19 enter the Philippine region and
six to nine make landfall, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
The Philippines is in fact, the country most exposed to tropical storms in the world.
Violent tropical storms, such as the latest Haiyan typhoon, can generate 10 times as
much energy as the Hiroshima atomic bomb. (Deutsch Welle, 2013)
An International Disaster Preparedness Training Center is an institution that
aims to provide information and training services to anyone who is willing, capable
and committed. It offers services such as Call Center, BCPO (Police Mobile Patrol)
Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Urban Search and Rescue (USAR), Fire
Auxiliary Services (FAS) , SOLAS and other services for disaster preparedness.
At present, there is only one International Disaster Preparedness Training
Center (911) in the country which is located at Davao City whose mission is to
develop its state-of-the-art communication capability and capacity in providing
excellent emergency responses to the residents in Davao. It excels in linkages with its
first responders in addressing emergency needs at site.
The proposed project entitled “Worx International- A Proposed Disaster
Preparedness Training Center’’ will be placed in a 10 hectare lot located at Barangay
Felisa, Bacolod City. This project is owned by Islas Thalim Development Corporation,
whose purpose is for human welfare, elevate Filipino lifestyle, introduce high
technology, lift up talents, skills and also to develop Negros, especially Bacolod City.
This project would be based on International standards for this should be
considered Globally Competitive because disaster does not only happen locally or
nationally, it is global. Whosoever is duly certified to have been trained and educated
in this facility will also qualify in the international labor market.
Its goal is to put in place a centralized post for convenient reporting of
emergency cases and crime incidents, enable public safety agencies to respond to
emergency cases in a more effective, quick and coordinated manner. Thereby, save
lives, protect properties, stop crimes and prevent major fire losses in a systematic and
efficient way. It can also empower the residents to actively participate in government
affairs, particularly in the peace and order programs during disasters.
With the benevolence and generous assistance extended by the Islas Thalim
Development Corporation, Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center
will surely be one of the many beneficial institutions in the Philippines.
As concerned citizens of this country, we Filipinos must all help make our
country become safer and more livable. Given the fact that Philippines is one of the
most disaster-prone countries in the world, Filipinos have to be trained and educated in
the field of disaster prediction, preparedness and management so that lives and
properties can be better protected and preserved.
The researcher is interested in developing an architectural design of the
proposed “Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center” to provide sheer
facilities and amenities enough to cater to a large number of trainees from all over the
Philippines. Also , the researcher aims to promote sustainable architecture , may it be
in a government or non-government institution.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The main objective of the study is to provide an architectural design solution
for Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center in Bacolod City. The
study aims to provide for the current lacking emergency facilities in the country,
impose the flexibility, resiliency and durability of each structure and to implement the
Incident Command System.
Specifically, the researcher intends to answer the following questions that are
essential to the stated problem above.
A. On Site Analysis

G. On Sub Questions
1. What would be the impact and contribution of this project in the community?
2. Does the training center provide well-planned, secure, and sufficient space
to meet the perceived needs of staff and users?
1.3 THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
The researcher used different theories, concepts and ideas from different
authors and well known architects believing that their ideas will be relevant to this
study and will create an appropriate solution for the proposed architectural design of
Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center. These materials will help
the researcher to understand and give deeper insights into the subject of this study.
The design must be sustainable with an industrial architecture touch at the
same time. It must be quality structure, changeable and compatible with the needs of
the trainees and the community that uses it. “ As an architect you design for the
present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown”.
(Norman Foster).
“The Building Grows Out Of The Landscape As Naturally As Any Plant; Its
Relationship To The Site Is So Unique That It Would Be Out Of Place Elsewhere."
—Frank Lloyd Wright
In recent years, sustainability concept has become the common interest of
numerous disciplines. The reason for this popularity is to perform the sustainable
development. The concept of green architecture, also known as “sustainable
architecture” or “ green building”, is the theory, science and style of buildings
designed and constructed in accordance with environmentally friendly principles.
Green architecture strives to minimize the number of resources consumed in building’s
construction, use and operation, as well as curtailing the harm done to the environment
through the emission, pollution and waste of its components. (Green Arhitecture: A
Concept of Sustainability : Amany Ragheb, 2016)
According to World Building Design, all educational facilities, including
training facilities, must have high-quality indoor environments to promote learning as
well as productivity. Training facilities have varied hours and rates of occupancy,
which affect the facilities’ operations and maintenance schedules. During the planning
stage of the project, design a proactive facility problems, rather than reacting to
problems when they occur. This plan is essential to ensuring optimal long-and short-
term use of the facility.

The system takes into consideration a particular structure’s level of
performance in terms of energy efficiency, waste disposal, available open space and
also the disaster preparedness of the building.
The mechanical elements are the basic, but not the only, considerations for the
entire job of climate control. The orientation, the plan arrangement, the design of the
building, and the materials used can contribute to the quality of comfort achieved and
to the economy.
Successful planning puts together the parts in such a way that they work well
together. As the open-plan concept responds to a way of teaching and a way of
efficiently using space, any good plan stems from and assures efficient function by
responding carefully to the educational program and matching it with a logically
engineered building expression. Purpose and function affect and determine the concept
of a plan. Some are cluster plans using units connected by circulation links to resolve a
plan into a series of smaller pieces to give the school better scale, to allow small
children to respond better, to relate better to a neighborhood of homes, and to fit better
to changing terrain. (Time Savers Standards for Building Types 2001 by Joseph de
Chiara)
In Portico by Sophie Hamer, the concept of circulation isn't so different - it
refers to the way people, the blood of our buildings, move through space. In particular,
circulation routes are the pathways people take through and around buildings or urban
places. Circulation is often thought of as the 'space between the spaces', having a
connective function, but it can be much more than that. It is the concept that captures
the experience of moving our bodies around a building, three- dimensionally and
through time.
1.4 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
This study aims to present an architectural design solution considering the
needs the proposed Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center with an
effective training environment which will promote comfort for the main users which
are the trainees and the faculty and staffs.
The paradigm of this study (as shown on Fig. 1) discusses the work flow of the
proposed project. To confer about it thoroughly, first is the site , the researcher needs
to find out the current status and sustainability of the site, so with site observation and
by the use of comprehensive site use planning this was figured out, she also needs to
know the applicable design concept on the type of planning for the site, the local
climate and orientation, and the accessibility of the road. The researcher conducted a
site analysis together with the requirements for development and site schematics to
solve the problem with regards to the site development. The second is aesthetics, the
researcher translated the concept and philosophy into visual form in order to come up
with a building character and a design concept. The third one is the building function,
in compliance to the spaces required, standards and data gathered, the researcher
produced a space requirement, programming and schematics of the project proposed.

Next one is the utility systems in order to comply with the engineering and utility
requirements, the researcher consulted a structural engineer to help her with the
structural analysis and also with the materials exact materials to be applied. Lastly the
strength and durability,also with the help of the structural consultant, the researcher
has produced a layout and specifications for the required utilities. The researcher
believes that with this framework she can produce a successful project proposal of the
Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center.

1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The proposed Worx International-Disaster Preparedness Training Center
involves an in depth study that may offer significant insights to Students, to the Local
Government of Bacolod City , to the people in Barangay Felisa, and to the Local
Government Units of Negros Occidental. The findings of this study shall help to give
insights as what it could possibly contribute to its benefactors. This study is also of
benefit to planners and individuals in this field who are planning to construct this kind
of structure and to students who need reference for such study.
Moreover, this study is Significant to the following:
Owner
This study will serve as a pre-design guide,suitable concepts and theories, and
visualization for their future development plans of Islas Thalim Development
Corporation.
Students
This study shall benefit students, especially those who are enrolled in a school
where they lack in facilities and cannot teach and train their students the proper
disaster preparedness procedures. This will also benefit the students from John B.
Lacson Colleges Foundaion- Bacolod , VMA Global College - Bacolod and West
Negros University- STI for they don’t have to travel to Guimaras Island in order for
them to execute their SOLAS.
Local Government of Negros Occidental
This study shall be beneficial to all the Local Government Units of Negros
Occidental for they doesn’t have to travel all the way to a training center in Davao
City in order for them to train for disaster preparedness. This study will also slightly
help promote the tourism of Bacolod City.
People of Bacolod City
This study will be mostly beneficial also for the residents of Bacolod City for
one they can easily access the site . This study could also give them a chance to work
internationally and let their families have more comfortable lives because anyone who
is capable is allowed to train in Worx International.
Researcher
This study will help the researcher gain more understanding and mastery about
architecture, specially for architectural requirements about disaster preparedness
training center. It will also expand the researcher’s familiarity of the many aspects of
sustainable and industrial design solutions for a disaster preparedness training center
that is safe and effective in promoting life-long learnings and trainings.

To Future Researchers
This research work may also serve as basis for future researchers who might run into
the same problem as this. This study can serve as their guide.
1.6 SCOPE AND LIMITATION
This study will focus only on the site development planning, building functions,
and building aesthetics with the major structure will be given detailed planning while
the minor structures will only be presented on site with site analysis only. Site
selection is not included in this study for the site is already given by the owner of the
proposed project. The feasibility of this project is also not included in the study.
This study will be conducted mainly within Bacolod City and adjacent cities
and municipalities only such as Talisay City, Silay City, E.B Magalona, Victorias City,
Municipality of Manapla ,and Cadiz City for the North and for the south , Bago City,
Municipality of, San Enrique, Pontevedra, Hinigaran, Binalbagan, Himamaylan City
and Kabankalan City. The respondents covers the people in the locality of the said
place/s. The time element to do the field investigation will also be considered. The
researcher wants to cover enough area for investigation as much as she can but it will
depend on the restriction of time, accessibility, and financial constraints. Data gathered
in this study will be taken from various sources such as published materials, online,
and for the interviews or surveys to be conducted by the researcher.

The conclusion for this study will be made only within the coverage of the
study and investigations that the researcher will be able to conduct with regard to the
limitations and constraints stated.
1.7 ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY

CHAPTER 2
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
The research methodology as bestowed in this chapter discusses the different
methods of research engaged by the researcher to obtain substantial quantity and
quality of data relevant to the study. The methods particularly focus on the population
and sampling techniques, the research instruments, and the statistical tools used for the
treatment of data.
These methods are consolidated into the study to obtain the data applicable to
the development of Worx International: A Proposed Disaster Preparedness Training
Center.
2.1 RESEARCH DESIGN
Research design refers to a scheme or plan of action for meeting the objects of
the study. The study employs the descriptive method of research. The method
comprises the gathering of accurate data and apposite information in relation to the
problem being presented. This procedure reveals and describes factors and involves
some type of comparison and contrast.
According to Nageswara Rao Possinasetti (2014) a descriptive study is
collected without changing the environment, nothing is manipulated. It is used to

obtain information concerning the current status of the phenomina to describe “ what
exists” with respect to variables or conditions in a situation.
The method of research above- mentioned will usher the researcher in
assembling high-fidelity and reliable information that will trail to the appropriate
design solutions possible to the problem. This form of research method is suited to
answer the various areas of concern expressed in the problem. It intends to present the
solutions to the problems in terms of site selection, site development, building function,
building aesthetic, building strength and durability, and building utilities and
technology.
The research shall consider respective areas of which data can be collected
through the use of library research, interviews, and other visual data gathering to abide
by with the content desirable for the study. The data assembling procedure will
particularly involve surveys from selected respondents, interviews with the experts in
the particular field, and actual site observations. All these will be channeled to produce
results and details that will determine the answer to the areas of involvement.
2.2 POPULATION AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
2.2.1 Population
pertains to all the associate of any distinct group of people or dependent that is
centered to the study. To answer particular research questions for the development of
the study. In order for the conclusions to be drawn from the data collected, the
researcher needs to investigate a particular set or group of respondents.
To come across reliable information required to develop the area of the study,
the respondents that will be involved in the project are the Local Government Units of
specific areas of Negros Occidental- CDRRMO of Bacolod City, Talisay City, Silay
City, Victorias City, Cadiz City, Bago City, Himamaylan City, Kabankalan City,
MDRRMO of Municipality of Enrique B. Magalona, Manapla, San Enrique,
Pontevedra, Hinigaran and Binalbagan. The population may also consist of students
from specific schools, namely, John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation , VMA Global
College , West Negros Univerity- STI, University of Negros occidental- Recoletos and
Regional Training Center . By using the purposive method of sampling the population
could be determined.
2.2.2 Sample Technique
Through the use of sampling technique, the researcher can produce data at a
certain time from the conferred sample size. Since disposal of survey is delimited by
time, money, travel, weather concerns, and effort, it is consequently impossible to
consider the total figure of population.

In this study the researcher used purposive method of sampling to come up
with the population and the sample size. Purposive sample is a non probability sample
that is selected based on characteristics of a population and the objective of the study,
it is also known as judgmental, selective, or subjective sampling.
2.3 DATA COLLECTION
There are two sources of data collection techniques. The following are:
2.3.1 A. Primary Data Source
Primary data are original materials on which research is based. They are
firsthand testimony or direct evidence concerning a topic under consideration. They
present information in its original form, neither interpreted nor condensed nor
evaluated by other writers. The primary data source of for this study are the
respondents of the survey questionnaire, interviewees, and subjects of observation.
Interviewees will be eligible through an inclusion criteria formulated:
The respondents of the survey questionnaire must be one of the following
criteria: He or she must be currently of legal age, has experience in training for
disaster preparedness, a workshop or seminar participant, interested in training in a
disaster preparedness training center, a present or previous employee of
CDRRMO/MDRRMO,currently enrolled in John B. Lacson Colleges Foundation,

VMA Global College,West Negros University-STI ( Maritime student) and Philippine
National Police Academy, A current or retired police officer and a volunteer in Amity.
The interviewees for the conducted interview must be one of the following
criteria: He or she must be an expert in the field of disaster preparedness, Head of
City/Municipality Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office and an Architect who
has a previous projects similar to the research being conducted.
2.3.2 B. Secondary Data Source
Secondary data refers to data which is collected by someone who are someone
other than the user. Common sources of secondary data for social science include
censuses, information collected by government departments, organizational records
and data that was originally collected for other research purposes. The following are
the secondary data sources:National Building Code of the Philippines, Privacy
Guidelines For The Implementation Of The Philippine Health Information Exchange,
Annual reports from CDRRMO/MDRRMO, Fire Code of the Philippines, Emergency
Disaster Policy, and Time Saver Standards.
2.4 RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
In conducting this study, the researcher used different research instruments to
measure quality or ability of subjects. The data may be obtained from the following:
2.4.1 Library Research
Library research pertains to different printed materials that provides
information such as books, magazines,periodicals, dictionaries, research journals,
encyclopedias and as well as digital media. This could be useful to the researcher for it
could widen her idea in terms of designs, layouts, and technologies.
One of the most common and effective instruments used by many researchers
involves the use of literature in libraries as well as internet sources due to the
availability of data and vast information that could be useful in this study. Among the
materials reviewed included books, journals, magazines, news articles and other
reading materials.
2.4.2 Survey Questionnaire
In survey research, the researcher selects a sample of respondents from a
population and administers a standardized questionnaire to them. The questionnaire, or
survey, can be a written document that is completed by the person being surveyed, an
online questionnaire, a face-to-face interview, or a telephone interview. Using surveys,
it is possible to collect data from large or small populations (Colorado State University
1993-2017).
In this study, a survey questionnaire was formulated by setting up the factors to
which respondents may react in order to understand the different facilities needed for a
disaster preparedness training center . Responses form the questionnaire helped shape
the researcher’s possible design solution for the said proposal.
2.4.3 Interview
Interviews are a systematic way of talking and listening to people and are
another way to collect data from individuals through conversations. The researcher or
the interviewer often uses open questions. Data is collected from the interviewee. The
researcher needs to remember the interviewer’s views about the topic is not of
importance. The interviewee or respondent is the primary data for the study.
(http://www.who.int)
Unstructured/informal interviews will be conducted with various professionals
in the field of architecture as well as some officials of CDRRMO and MDRRMO of
Negros Occidental.
2.4.4 Observation
Observational research (or field research) is a type of correlational (i.e., non-
experimental) research in which a researcher observes ongoing behavior. There are a
variety of types of observational research, each of which has both strengths and
weaknesses. These types are organized below by the extent to which an experimenter
intrudes upon or controls the environment. (https://atlasti.com/observational-research/)
The researcher will conduct observation through ocular site visitation to the
existing Disaster Preparedness Training Center (911) in Davao and to the existing
facilities available locally.
2.5 VALIDITY OF RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
Validity is the extent to which an instrument measures what it is supposed to
measure and performs as it is designed to perform. It is rare, if nearly impossible, that
an instrument be 100% valid, so validity is generally measured in degrees. As a
process, validation involves collecting and analyzing data to assess the accuracy of an
instrument. There are numerous statistical tests and measures to assess the validity of
quantitative instruments, which generally involves pilot testing. The remainder of this
discussion focuses on external validity and content validity. (Denzin & Lincoln, 2005)
The content and face validity of the survey questionnaire and interview
questionnaire were rated by the jury using the following scale:
Rate of Scale Interpretation
5 - Excellent
4 - Very Good
3 - Good
2 - Fair
1 - Needs Improvement
The jury are composed of a College Teacher, Coordinator of Student
Formation, Architects and School Architect who acquire a master’s degree and
capable to validate the research tools/ instruments, specifically the survey
questionnaire.
The rating of the jury was computerized and interpreted using the following
scale:
Mean Score Range Interpretation
4.20 - 5.00 Excellent
3.20 – 4.20 Very good
2.20 – 3.20 Good
1.21 – 2.20 Fair
1.00 – 1.20 Needs Improvement
The mean rating of the jury of experts was computed and interpreted to reflect
the validity of the survey questionnaire.

The mean rating of the jury of experts was computed and interpreted to reflect
the validity of instrument. The mean rating obtained was 4.24 which showed that the
data gathering instrument was Excellent.
2.6 RELIABILITY OF RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
Reliability is directly related to the validity of the measure. There are several
important principles. First, a test can be considered reliable, but not valid. Consider the
SAT, used as a predictor of success in college. It is a reliable test (high scores relate to
high GPA), though only a moderately valid indicator of success (due to the lack of
structured environment – class attendance, parent-regulated study, and sleeping
habits – each holistically related to success). (Denzin & Lincoln, 2005)
When the validation of the survey questionnaire was completed, the researcher
improved, revised, and finalized the survey questionnaire taking into consideration the
corrections and suggestions of the jury.
2.7 STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
An analysis and interpretation of data calls for statistically treating them, thus,
the researcher uses certain formulas.
1. Purposive Sampling Technique. Through the use of purposive sampling,
the researcher could determine the population of this study. A purposive

sample is a non-probability sample that is selected based on
characteristics of a population and the objective of the study. Purposive
sampling is also known as judgmental, selective, or subjective sampling.
(Ashley Crossman, 2018)
2. Percentage Formula or Frequency distribution: This will be used to
identify number of frequency of respondents and their responses, using this
formula:
Where:
P = percentage
f = frequency
3. Mean. In the survey questionnaires, the respondents were able to be given
items provided. This method will be used in order to interpret the given
answers of the respondents to each statement. At the same time, the most
common score mean or average of the response of the entire group is to be
determined through this formula:
Where:
= Summation of scores
= Number of respondents
= Mean

Tricycle is the mode of transportation used by the citizens of Brgy. Felisa,
Bacolod City. In order to access the site ,people could ride Handumanan jeepney from
the terminal (as shown in fig. 3) . As the jeepney’s route is only limited to brgy.
Handumanan, you must transfer from a jeepney to a tricycle (as shown in fig. 2) to get
to the site. The maximum number of passengers in a single trike is 6 persons including
the driver.
Private Transportation
The site is also accessible to private vehicles
B. Magnitude
The site has a total land area of approximately 86,000sq.m.
C. Availability of Utilities
I. Water supply
Barangay Felisa is serviced by Bacolod City Water District (BACIWA).
Almost 75% availed the water system through BACIWA.
II. Power supply
The Central Negros Electric Cooperative (CENECO) was the one supplying
the electrical needs of Barangay Felisa. Almost 80% of the residents availed the
electrification program of CENECO.
III. Communication
Almost 95% of the residents of Barangay Felisa have personal cellular phones
as their medium of communication. It was operated by various networks such as Smart,
Globe, Sun Cellular, Touch Mobile, Talk ‘N Text. Telephones were also available on
10% percent of the total households operated by Globe Telecommunications and
PLDT. Many computer shops were available for internet connection. Several houses
also have internet connection via landline or wireless access.

IV. Waste Disposal
Barangay Felisa is now the host barangay for the open dumpsite and the
sanitary landfill of Bacolod City. Types of Waste Disposal: Wrapped and Throw,
Open pit, Collected by dump trucks and Buried.
D. Peace and Order situation and Safety
South Bacolod General hospital is the nearest hospital from the site which is
8.9 km or 21 minutes travel time away from the location of the site. The Nearest clinic
available is the St. Ezekiel Clinic located at Brgy. Handumanan, Bacolod City. The
clinic is 5.0 km away from the site and has a travel distance of 16 mins.

General Hospital
The nearest police station is located also in Brgy. Handumanan which is 4.2 km away
from the site and 13 minutes travel time distance.

Figure 18 Police Station 10
Brgy. Felisa Peoples Hall is 4.9km away and is 18 minutes drive from the location of
the site.
Figure 19 Brgy. Felisa Peoples Hall
E. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats Analysis
The strength of the site is that it is away from the town proper, does not flood
in the area, not congested, and natural forms are present which means it is perfect for a
Disaster Preparedness Training Center. Weaknesses of the site are, it is not very
accessible to regular commuters, roads are to narrow (single lane), away from the city
and there are illegal settlers nearby. Then the opportunities for this site is the
possibility that a new central district could be built in the near future, the roads could
be widened and illegal settlers could be relocated. Lastly there are no threats for the
proposed site.
2. What is the current status of the site as to its conformity to the Land Use and
Zoning Regulations?
Data Gathering
Fig. 20 Proposed Site
The site belongs to SAFDZ (Agricultural)
3.2.2 As to Site Development
1.What type of site planning is appropriate for the proposed Worx Internationl
Disaster Preparedness Center ?
A. Site planning and concept
Library and Online Research

Disperse planning or concept is the most suitable type of planning for a disaster
preparedness training center. Disperse means to spread over or to scatter away over a
wide area, and that is what a training center should possibly need.
B. Development Controls
1. Principles in the Preparation of the Site Development Plan.
The principle in the preparation of the Site Development Plan is that all
physical structures will be dispersed accordingly. Those structures needed for fire and
bomb training will be placed distant from other training facilities for it could cause
noise disturbance or distraction. All other facilities and structures will be clustered or
dispersed all over the site.
2. Layout of Buildings and other structures
The layout of the buildings and other structures is very important when it
comes to site development. Buildings which will be used on a daily basis like
dormitory, mess hall lecture rooms and buildings with offices must be oriented with
conformity to the sun path or the east-west course of the sun during the day. Variations
in the sun path on certain season of the year are minimal.To forbid the direct entry of
sunlight into the important spaces that is used on a daily basis , buildings shall be
placed along the east-west axis so that the windows have a north-south vulnerability.
3. Arrangement of Building
A training facility for adult professionals must have flexible and
technologically-advanced learning environments that are safe, healthy, comfortable,
aesthetically-pleasing, and accessible. It must be able to accommodate the specific
space and equipment needs of the training program and curriculum. Support spaces
geared toward adult needs, such as a business station that allows students to carry out
some business functions during their training sessions, must be seamlessly integrated
into the facility as well.
Structures shall be staged to alleviate cross ventilation by revealing the window
sides to the position of prevailing breezes which is generally northeast-southeast.
Nevertheless, the east-west orientation is enough as long as it allows enough cross-
ventilation. (https://www.wbdg.org/building-types/education-facilities/training-facility)
3.2.3 As to Building Function
1. What are the required facilities, spaces and amenities to be added in
Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center?
Survey
The survey shows that among 2,565 responses, Dispatch center, Lecture room,
Offices, Fire Building tower and Barracks were the top 5 facilities/amenities that was
voted by the respondents. Followed by the conference room, computer laboratory,
dormitory, driving course , canteen and scenario village consecutively. Olympic pool,
gas station, ship splash, football field and sloped walls are the facilities/amenities that
were least selected by the respondents.
Interview
According to the Head of Amity Public Safety Academy, facilities and
amenities that are needed in a disaster preparedness training center are Dispatch center,
Fire building tower, Burn room, Collapse structure, Vehicle extrication simulator,
Dormitory, Mess hall, Lecture rooms, and a scenario village so that trainees could
have a better training experience.
3.2.4 As to Building Aesthetic
1. What is the appropriate architectural character/concept for the proposed
building?
Interview
According to the Head of Amity Public Safety Academy, based on his training
experiences from training centers in the other countries like Singapore and Thailand,
there is really no specific best character or concept for a disaster preparedness training
center. He stated that what is important is how the training center would function and
how it is planned.
Library and Online Reasearch
Industrial style or industrial chic refers to an aesthetic trend in interior
design that takes clues from old factories and industrial spaces that in recent years
have been converted to lofts and other living spaces. Components of industrial style
include weathered wood, building systems, exposed brick, industrial lighting fixtures
and concrete.
This aesthetic became popular in the late 2000s and remained popular in the 2010s.
Industrial style can also be seen in the use of unexpected materials used in
building. Shipping containers are now being used in architecture for homes and
commercial spaces. The Industrial style of design is most commonly found in urban
areas including cities and lofts. These are prime locations because they provide almost
a blank space for homeowners to get started with a fresh canvas. These locations also
contain some of the key elements used to achieve this style of design including
exposed bricks and pipes, concrete flooring, and large open windows. These elements
help give the space a “warehouse” feel which is the ultimate goal of this style of
design. This style incorporates raw materials to give the space an unfinished feel.
To achieve an industrial feel, a natural color palette is most commonly used. A mix of
grays, neutrals and rustic colors can be seen in these spaces. These simple colors allow
for the use of furniture and other accessories to help liven up the room. Also, having
the walls a neutral color allows for open areas like lofts to feel bigger and more
connected while giving furniture the opportunity to help create a natural flow of the
room.( Shana Ecker, 2013)
3.2.5 As to Building Strength and durability
1. What method/ principles of construction may be applied in this project?
Interview
According to an engineer and a faculty member from the SARFAID
department of La Consolacion College- Bacolod, the researcher should count on any
structural standards based on the assorted rules and regulations from National Building
Code of the Philippines, Fire Code of the Philippines, and Plumbing
Code of the Philippines centering on institutional building type.
2. What are the materials, building technologies, and practices being
specified?
Interview
According to an engineer and a faculty member from the SARFAID
department of La Consolacion College- Bacolod, as the project is disaster
preparedness training center and the desired building character or concept is industrial
architecture, steel and concrete are the best materials to be used for the proposed
project. Also in addition container vans will also be needed in the project.
If you have prioritized fire, earthquake, flood, and windstorms you will need to
take a step further to assess non-structural risks associated with your buildings. This
will help to identify those measures that can be taken to make classrooms, offices, and
common spaces safer. The review team should include users of each space as well as
facilities maintenance staff. Use your imagination and common sense as you go from
room to room, and around the building. Fire prevention and fire safety measures are
part of your initial design, and also require regular maintenance and testing. Assess to
be sure that flammable and hazardous materials sources are limited, isolated,
eliminated, or secured. This includes electrical lines and appliances, heaters and stoves,
natural gas pipes and LPG canisters, flammable or combustible liquids, exit routes are
clear to facilitate safe evacuation in case of fire or other emergency.Detection and
alarm systems are working. Fire extinguishers are regularly refilled. Other fire
suppression and control equipment is regularly tested and maintained.Mechanical,
electrical, and civil structures and systems are maintained and operable, in compliance
with life and fire safety design criteria
3.2.6 As to Building Engineering and utility system
1. What are the necessary engineering and utility system to be provided?
Interview
According to the head of Amity Public Safety Academy , in a disaster
preparedness training center drainage is one of the most important utilities needed. It
might cause inconvenience if there would be stagnant water all over the training area.
Subsoil drainage can be used to improve ground stability, to lower
the moisture content of a site, to enhance horticultural properties for landscaping and
so on. It can be required to drainthe whole site or to protect a particular part.
According to the Approved Document C of the Building
Regulations, subsoil drainage should be provided to avoid the passage
of ground moisture into a building’s interior or to prevent damage being caused to
the building’s fabric.
Subsoil drainage is generally involves the use of pipes that are porous to
allow subsoil water to pass through the pipe body, or pipes that are perforated with a
series of holes in the lower half to allow subsoil water to rise into the pipe. Both types
are generally laid dry jointed in a trench filled with rubble. A pervious membrane is
generally placed on top of the rubble as a filter mat, then covered with normal backfill
and topped with 150 mm of topsoil.
This type of groundwater control is only feasible up to a depth of 1.5 m, and any
further lowering of the water table should be achieved by other methods. For more
information, see Groundwater control in urban areas.

When drainage is used to protect a building’s substructure, a cut off drain is generally
installed that intercepts the flow of water and diverts it away from the site.
(Plumb247,2016)
2. How will lighting and acoustics affect the consumers’ environment?
Interview
According to the head of Amity Public Safety Academy, a training center must
have appropriate lighting for every training facility. Some training facilities will have
specialized lights in order to come up with the best training experience. Nevertheless,
natural lighting is the best solution for areas that are daily used.
3.2.7 As to Sub Questions
1. What would be the impact and contribution of this project in the community?
The public isn’t the only group who has a role in preparedness. Responders
in law enforcement, fire, emergency management, medical response and the private
sector are all partners in preparedness. This concept is commonly referred to as The
Whole Community. Our work in this area reflects a need to prepare for the needs of
all members of communities. Whether that means residents in low-income areas,
those with access and function needs or the businesses that an area relies for
necessities, everyone must make the effort to plan and prepare for disasters and
emergencies that interrupt daily life. The whole community is affected by disasters
and the whole community must be a part of the response. (The Importance of
Community Preparedness and the Whole Community, Chad Stover, January 2013)
One of issues that must always be taken into consideration is that the
Preparedness Training activities should always be consistent with the needs of each
individual community, and they should be conducted in the local language and with
the participation of the largest possible number of local trainers. It is unfortunate that a
large disaster is needed to convince the National Authorities and also the international
donors and partners, that it is more important and relevant to invest on Preparedness
than to have to mobilize large amounts of funds for immediate relief and response.
Even if all the countries that have been affected by recent events, have mobilized
funds for preparedness, prevention and mitigation, the amounts assigned for
preparedness are still far too small to make a significant impact.

CHAPTER 4
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary of the data for the study that the researcher
has collected. The purpose of these data is to conceptualize an effective and efficient
Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center.
The summary of findings is configured with basis on the objectives of the
study, analysis of the data gathered, findings of survey result, conclusion drawn from
the information collected and the recommendations derived from the findings.
4.1 SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE
The survey questionnaire is composed of two parts. The first part is the
respondents profile, the second part is the viability of the proposal. These data are the
findings summarized from the survey questionnaire and extracted from 230
respondents from the conducted survey.
4.1.1 Respondents Profile
The researcher was the one who determined the number of population for she
used purposive method of sampling. She has derived with a total of 230 respondents
from selected cities and municipalities of Negros Occidental.

Out of 230 respondents 100 or 43.5% of them were from different offices and
rescue departments in Bacolod City. The remaining 130 respondent were equally
divided, 10 respondent for each CDRRMO/MDRRMO of their respective City or
Municipality . (see fig. 3.4)
Sex distribution has a ratio of 85 to 15, male got 85% of the population
surveyed and female got the 15% of the population surveyed (see fig. 3.1).The survey
showed that there are more male respondent than there are of females.
101 or 44% of the total population were aged 18 to 25 years old. 102 or 44.3%
of them aged 26 to 40 years old and those who aged 41 and above were only 27 or
11.7%. it only shows that majority who answered the survey questionnaires were in
their late 20s and early 40s. (see fig. 3.2)
Among the 230 respondents, 30 of them were maritime student, 10 were
criminology students, 10 were Amity volunteer, 10 were Red Cross Volunteers, 10
were trainees from RTC 6 and 10 from BFP Bacolod. The remaining 140 respondents
were employees and volunteers of CDRRMO/MDRRMO from their respective cities
and municipalities. (see fig.3.3)

4.1.2 As to Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center should be
imposed.
Based on the data gathered, majority of the respondents strongly agrees on
having a disaster preparedness training center to be established in Bacolod City.
Among 230 respondents, 134 or 58.26% strongly agreed and 86 or 37.39% Agreed and
the remaining respondents were 10 or 4.35% answered Slightly agree.
4.1.3 Possible reason why the respondents would train in a disaster preparedness
training center
The possible reason why the respondents would train in a disaster preparedness
training center , based on the result of the survey is so they’ll just be always prepared
for any disaster that may occur at any time.
4.1.4 Problems respondents experienced in the current emergency rescue .
60% or majority of the respondents answered Lack of equipment as to the
problems they have experienced in the current emergency rescue from their respective
cities and municipalities.
4.1.5 Common problems usually addressed to local emergency response unit.

As to the common problems usually addressed to local emergency response
unit, 56.52% or majority of the respondents answered accidents. ( see fig. 3.8)
4.1.6 Ranking of Amenities
The respondents are likely to want a dispatch center, lecture room, fire building
tower, barracks and conference room to be available in the proposed Worx
International Disaster Preparedness Training Center.
Conclusions and Recommendations
Survey questionnaire is an instrument consists series of questions gathering
information and concerns of the target users. The results show that majority of the
respondents agreed with the proposed thesis project Worx International Disaster
Preparedness Training Center should be appealed on the site.`The researcher conludes
that the Worx International Disaster Preparedness Training Center’s amenities must be
noted for it’s functional use. The researcher recommends that the site should be
studied for the required facilities dimensions and required spaces. Enabling users to
easily use the function of the facility.

Conclusion
The site is in great state in terms of accessibility, availability of utilities, and peace and
order situation. Both private and public vehicles can access the site; water, power and
communication supply are respectively provided by BACIWA and deep well,
CENECO, and Smart, Sun Cellular, Globe, Talk N’ Text, Touch Mobile and landline
telephones.The hospital and clinic is also not that far away from the site and the
peoples hall is just 4.8 km away from the site.
Recommendations
As to the future researcher, it is very important that when selecting a site you
must really consider the accessibility for there are much more opportunities and
benefits when the site is reachable by ordinary citizens.Availability of utilities such as
water,power and communication must also be highly considered for without one of
these, any structure might be useless. Lastly, when selecting a site, you must also chew
over the peace and order of the site for safety is also on top of the priority.
4.2.2 As to Site Development
Disperse planning or concept is the most suitable type of planning for a disaster
preparedness training center. The principle in the preparation of the Site Development
Plan is that all physical structures will be dispersed accordingly. Those structures
needed for fire and bomb training will be placed distant from other training facilities
for it could cause noise disturbance or distraction. All other facilities and structures
will be clustered or dispersed all over the site.
A training facility for adult professionals must have flexible and
technologically-advanced learning environments that are safe, healthy, comfortable,
aesthetically-pleasing, and accessible. It must be able to accommodate the specific
space and equipment needs of the training program and curriculum. Support spaces
geared toward adult needs, such as a business station that allows students to carry out
some business functions during their training sessions, must be seamlessly integrated
into the facility as well.
Structures shall be staged to alleviate cross ventilation by revealing the window
sides to the position of prevailing breezes which is generally northeast-southeast.
Nevertheless, the east-west orientation is enough as long as it allows enough cross-
ventilation.
As for development control, it must apply the principles in the preparation of
the site development plan, layout of buildings and other structures, arrangement of
buildings, site limitations, acoustic barriers, sun path,local wind patterns, sun screens,
vertical louvers and green walls (vertical garden),and the distance between buildings.
Conclusions
The researcher targets to plan various definite buildings and come up with an
architectural design solution connecting to the chosen concept which is Disperse
planning. The researcher chose this type of planning because it is the most suitable and
is effective for a training institution. The advantage of this approach is that the system
has the prospective capacity for random extension.
Recommendations
As to the future researcher, picking out the right type of planning is the
principal concern in developing a certain project. The whole function of the site rests
on the plan of the designer; if the plan isn’t effective enough the site is unable to
compass it’s goal.
4.2.3 As to Building Function

The survey shows that among 2,565 responses, Dispatch center, Lecture room,
Offices, Fire Building tower and Barracks were the top 5 facilities/amenities that was
voted by the respondents. Followed by the conference room, computer laboratory,
dormitory, driving course , canteen and scenario village consecutively. Olympic pool,
gas station, ship splash, football field and sloped walls are the facilities/amenities that
were least selected by the respondents.
In designing a disaster preparedness training center there is no specific best
character or concept for a disaster preparedness training center. What is important is
how the training center would function and how it is planned.
Conclusion
The proposed project should have a sense of ownership through the application
of aesthetic features: these features will provide visual comfort for the trainees and
also for their trainors/faculty and staffs. Which can be a factor in the improvement of
their academic performance.
The researcher aims to apply industrial and sustainable architectural design
recommended by the developer of the proposed project. Industrial style or industrial
chic refers to an aesthetic trend in design that takes clues from old factories and
industrial spaces that in recent years have been converted to lofts and other living
spaces. Components of industrial style include weathered wood, building systems,

exposed brick, industrial lighting fixtures and concrete.This aesthetic became popular
in the late 2000s and remained popular in the 2010s.
Recommendation
As for the future researcher, applying aesthetics to a certain structure requires a
number of considerations, elements such as colors, shape, form, etc. The choice of
aesthetic feature should not be applied for the sake of beauty rather it should create a
conductive learning environment through the help of visual elements.
4.2.5 Building Strength and Durability
Building strength and durability is achieved through decent structural design.
Other elements such as the type of materials and finishes to be applied should also be
considered. The researcher should see any structural standards based on National
Building Code of the Philippines, Fire Code of the Philippines and Plumbing Code of
the Philippines focusing on institutional building type. The researcher must also
consider concrete, aluminum and stainless steel as undeviating materials, provided
they must be treated for high weather ability and durability, with paint and welding; in
order for any material to last for a long period of time.

Conclusion
The researcher aims to follow any structural standards provided by the National
Building Code of the Philippines, Fire Code of the Philippines and Plumbing Code of
the Philippines focusing on institutional building type and use durable materials not
only for weather resistance but also for any disasters and calamities.
Recommendation
As for the future researcher, following the structural standards based on the
National Building Code of the Philippines, Fire Code of the Philippines and Plumbing
Code of the Philippines is required and important, applicable to any type of project in
the future.
4.2.6 As to Building Engineering and Utility Systems
In a disaster preparedness training center drainage is one of the most important
utilities needed. It might cause inconvenience if there would be stagnant water all over
the training area.
Subsoil drainage can be used to improve ground stability, to lower
the moisture content of a site, to enhance horticultural properties for landscaping and
so on. It can be required to drain the whole site or to protect a particular part.
According to the Approved Document C of the Building
Regulations, subsoil drainage should be provided to avoid the passage
of ground moisture into a building’s interior or to prevent damage being caused to
the building’s fabric.
As to lighting,Some training facilities will have specialized lights in order to
come up with the best training experience. Nevertheless, natural lighting is the best
solution for areas that are daily used.
Conclusions
The researcher aims to provide the proposed project a proper drainage by using
subsoil drainage in order to improve ground stability, lower the moisture content of
a site,and to enhance horticultural properties for landscaping.The researcher must also
use appropriate lighting for each structure or training facility in the said project but
will also consider natural lighting as the best solution.
Recommendations
As to the future researchers, finding the appropriate utility system and lighting
for your project is highly recommended. It must be well-planned and well organized
for the safety of the users. Also consider that natural lighting is the best type of
lighting architecture could offer, it could also help save energy.

CHAPTER 5
GRAPHICAL SOLUTION
5.1 DESIGN PROGRAMMING
Worx International: Disaster Preparedness Training Center is an institution which

provides training for disaster preparedness. The proposed project will be placed on a
10 hectare lot located at Brgy. Felisa, Bacolod City.
This project proposal is composed four major buildings, the administrative

building,barracks, fitness gym and fire building tower for this institution will be
focusing more on actual field training and less on classroom learning.
The administrative building is composed of the reception area, lobby, offices,

faculty room, apparatus room, VIP lounge, dispatch center, conference room,and male
and female restrooms. Alongside, the administrative building is also connected with
the lecture department which consists of four lecture rooms, male and female
restrooms, clinic, audio visual room, computer laboratory,and the multi-purpose room.
The next main building is called Barracks, it is composed of two sleeping quarters
for male and also two sleeping quarters for female. The mess hall and the kitchen are
also located at the barracks building, as well as the outdoor shower, laundry room, and
two instructor’s room.
The Fire Building Tower is a 4-storey polished concrete finished structure

used as a simulator for fire rescue and the last major structure is the fitness gym
which consist of male and female toilet, shower room, and the actual gym area.
The support facilities of this projects are most commonly training facilities like
olympic-sized pool, scenario village, driving course, vehicle extrication simulator,
collapse structure, warehouse, shooting range,and the football field with running

minor roads and one major road which is connected to the National Road.
5.5.3 ORIENTATION MAP
WIND AND SUN ORIENTATION MAP
The prevailing wind direction is northern to southern during the months of
November to May and southeast to north east during the months of June to October.
5.5.3 TRANSPORTATION MAP
The site is accessible by one minor road that is also attached to another minor road and
one major road. Such road network makes the site accessible to both public and private
vehicles. Public transportation includes, a few number of jeepneys, and the most often
used is tricycle.
5.5.4 HYDROLOGY MAP
Because the site was formerly used as a sugarcane field, the water from the site
is either absorbed by the soil or going outward to the drainage.

5.5.5 CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITY MAP
The site is currently used as an open filed with a little area that is still being
used as a sugarcane field.

5.6 DESIGN CONCEPT
EARLY WARNING DEVICE
The main purpose of an early warning device is to reduce the impact of road
hazards. A device needed to provide timely and meaningful warning information of
the possible road events that may threaten people’s lives or put them at risk. A
warning.
Disaster Preparedness Training Center shall be our early warning device. It will be
developed and put in place long before a disaster strikes. It will enable individuals,
communities and organizations to prepare and act appropriately and in sufficient time
to reduce the possibility of harm, loss or risk..

5.7 DESIGN CHARACTERISTIC
SUSTAINABLE INDUSTRIAL ARCHITECURE
The design characteristic of this project is a combination of sustainable and
industrial architecture.
Industrial Architecture takes clues from old factories and industrial spaces that
in recent years have been converted to lofts and other living spaces. Components of
industrial style include weathered wood, building systems, exposed brick, industrial
lighting fixtures and concrete
Industrial style can also be seen in the use of unexpected materials used in
building. Shipping containers are now being used in architecture for homes and
commercial spaces. The Industrial style of design is most commonly found in urban
areas including cities and lofts.

Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative
environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of
materials, energy, and development space and the ecosystem at large. Sustainable
architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the
design of the built environment
5.8 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
“ The best way to predict the future is to design it”
- Buckminster Fuller
In architecture, every design must have a purpose, we must always anticipate what
is ahead. We also have obligations to the environment that when we design, we must
not harm what is naturally in there for the future generations to enjoy and appreciate.
5.9 DESIGN OBJECTIVE
The design objective of this project is to design a sustainable industrial disaster
preparedness training center, provide more natural lighting and ventilation to the
rooms of the training center, enhance Indoor Environmental Quality, optimize energy
use and to optimize building space and material use.The field of sustainable design
desires to balance the kinship between human and nature which reflects on the
efficiency of the design not only focusing on the aesthetic feature but also on the
function of the building as a whole.
5.10 DESIGN STRATEGY
 Reduce energy consumption by using photovoltaics (PV), .
 Provide roof light for additional natural lighting
 Provide large south facing windows for natural lighting and ventilation.
 Use environmentally preferable materials reduce impacts on human health and the
environment, and contribute to improved worker safety and health, reduced
liabilities, and reduced disposal costs.

 Provide louvers to admit more light and air and at the same time keep out rain and
direct sunlight.
 Provide vertical garden for this makes use of direct sunlight and lessens heat
inside the building. Plants used in vertical garden absorb heat and act as insulators
for buildings, reducing energy to provide cooling and heating.
