TITLE OF PROPOSED STUDY

The title should briefly and simply reflect the main topic of the paper, identifying the actual variables or theoretical issues to be investigated and the relationship between them. Avoid words that serve no useful purpose, as well as abbreviations. Recommended length is 10-12 words.

Land Use Pattern of Holy Angel University Campus

INTRODUCTION*
Please state your research problem/s, emerging from/related to, your research background of properly cited related literature and studies. Universities can nowadays be regarded as small cities due to their large size, population, and the various complex activities taking place in campuses, which have some serious direct and indirect impacts on the environment (Alshuwaikhat & Abubakar, 2008). Holy Angel University (HAU) being a dynamic university can now be perceived as a small city with its growing population, increase in the number of program offerings and the continuous modernization of facilities. HAU campus has undergone major changes for the last decade and is still changing through a complex process of renovating, demolishing and constructing in a loop pattern. The 7hectare campus, which used to be a vast open land has increased in its built-up areas with the various buildings erected from 1940s. As a result, open spaces, which act as lungs to the campus are now slowly being replaced by taller buildings. This increase in the built-up areas translates as land use and land cover (LULC) change. LULC change is one of the most visible results of humans modification of the terrestrial ecosystem, and it has a significant impact on the local, regional, and global environment (Weng, 2001). HAU is a

living testimony of the urbanization issues, universities face nowadays. Through a timeseries analysis, the research may provide a general description of the evolution of the land use pattern of the campus that could support future plans for HAU and hopefully, mitigate uncontrolled changes. Lay down your research questions and discuss how the answers to the said questions (results) will contribute to the solution of the problem/s. How much land use and land cover change did the campus go through since the 1940s? What is the current percentage of site occupancy (PSO) of HAU buildings compared to the recommended PSO of the National Building Code of the Philippines? Is the campus nearing its saturation level in terms of development? What is the recommended height of buildings for the HAU campus? State the significance of your study to theory and/or practice. The study aims to present the different trajectories of HAU campus development, its land use pattern and land cover changes from 1940 to 2010 that will eventually lead to the 2020. Please describe the conceptual framework of your study. This framework consists of: (1) your chosen approach to address the research problem/s, (2) the variables you will consider in the study, with their operational definitions, (3) the hypotheses and/or propositions of the study, with a rationale or justification for each, and (4) model equation/s, if applicable. Include a diagram or a figure to show the key concepts and describe how they interplay with each other. The literature and studies cited in this section should focus on justifying any of the components of the research framework.

1) Evolution of the Land Use Pattern 2) Physical determinants: buildings List of buildings, date of construction, purpose 2) Socio-economic determinants: student population & program offerings analysis on

population increase or decrease and reasons for the new program offerings 3) The land use and land cover of HAU campus can still be balanced. A development guide can help mitigate the loop pattern of construction and demolition activities.

METHOD
Participants or Subjects Identify and describe the population and the sample of your research study. Discuss your sampling plan in regard to sample size determination, and sampling and selection procedures. HAU Buildings, Student Population and Program Offerings. These will be based on actual records which will be gathered through purposive interview. A Survey that entails size determination and sampling will not be utilized. Instruments/Sources of Data Include sources of data, instruments, and questionnaire/s to be used; how these were or are to be developed, with proofs/tests of validity and reliability. GIS (On-line) Ocular Survey Registrars Office ECMO Office of the Academic Affairs Procedure Discuss the steps to be employed in gathering/collecting of data, e.g. how the instruments will be administered among the participants. Gathering of Data will start with an ocular survey in order to have an actual exposure of the study area. The secondary data available from the different HAU offices coupled with purposive interviews will help collate the raw data on hand. Data Analysis Plan To answer each of your problems, disclose what data you are going to process and analyze, and specifically identify what quantitative/statistical and/or qualitative techniques or tools you are planning to use to perform such analyses. The literature and studies cited in this section should focus on clarifying the choice of methods and procedures. Use additional sheets, if needed. Time Series Analysis of the following: 1) Tracing the HAU Buildings constructed from 1940 to 2010 2) Student Population from 1940 to 2010 3) Program Offerings from 1940 to 2010 The Time Series analysis will focus on the important trajectories on the Physical Development of HAU.
