I. INTRODUCTION
The specific process which this research proposes to study is the transport
system in general and the transportation modes, such as trisikad1, payong-
payong2, motorcycles, motortricycles, jeepneys and buses, and small

sea/rivercraft, with a focus on the person trips attracted by the specific collection
of urban forms unique to an urban city district.
The data which to be collected will transportation related indeces, such as the
average vehicle speed within the district, the delays experienced during peak
periods enable the quantification of qualitative information into costs attributable
to the transport process, as suggested by practice and critiqued by Litman,
2018.
A. Significance
The city of Davao has began its review and update of the city’s
Comprehensive Land-Use Plan for 2013 – 2022 (PIA, 2019). The aim is to
“maximize the use of its urban space in the updating of its Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP) … to control the expansion of urban sprawl.” The
office also mentioned that “the review and revision is timely as there is an
influx of private and public infrastructure development in the city… since
the 2016 Presidential Elections. As the city has adopted a framework for
its future transportation system (ADB, 2018 & JICA, 2018), the significance
of the current modes of transport cannot be ignored.
C. Research Goals
A. Urban Form
One element of the urban form which play a part in the aspect of
transportation is the street. The main characteristic of a street is its width
which can likewise describe the number of available lanes. The width of
the street has a bearing on the use of space which impacts on the safety
of the users, the pedestrians and commuters who use it. A study
conducted by Potts (2007) studied the relationship between the width of
the street, speed and subsequently safety, and concluded that vehicle
speed can be controlled using the street width.
Another element of the urban form that is the building use. A building’s
use, or utility, determines the number of person trips that is attracted to it.
The visual characteristics of a building of similar utility also plays a role in
the attraction of person trips.

III. METHODOLOGY
The research shall be conducted using research using data from the
various government offices, such as the City Engineer’s Office, the City
Planning and Development Office, the Land Transportation Office, the
Land Transport Franchising Board, the barangays, the educational
institutions, the commercial establishments located in the Study Area.
Inventory of the different modes of transport used shall be made. Traffic
volume shall be determined using manual counts through video and
manual traffic surveys. Other surveys include transport mode preference
surveys and vehicle occupancy counts, as well as selected spot
interviews.
