The Problem and Its Background

1.1 Introduction
Hilltop Garden in Montalban, Rizal, is a natural marvel with breath-taking vistas.
However, negligence and the environment have diminished its allure. As part of
the "Invent and Recreate" project, a gorgeous oasis reflecting the natural beauty
of the Montalban region will be constructed in the garden.

Poor maintenance, urbanization, and climate change were problems at the well-
liked recreation location Hilltop Garden. In order to restore the iconic landmark,
the neighborhood joined together with the local government and environmental
enthusiasts under the "Invent and Recreate" program. The goal was to preserve
the garden's organic qualities while showcasing their latent beauty. Research,
historical data, and expert contacts showed the garden's previous magnificence
and potential development. Environmental studies examined the potential effects
of biodiversity loss, soil erosion, and climate change on the ecosystem.

Hilltop Garden was designed using traditional landscape architecture, but it has
since been changed into a serene retreat from the rush and bustle of daily life.
The "Invent and Recreate" effort aimed to honor the garden's historical
significance while offering novel ideas. A team of landscape architects, botanists,
and urban planners created a master plan with a diversity of plant species,
curving walks, sustainable irrigation systems, and strategically located dining
areas. The project placed a strong emphasis on community engagement and

pg. 11
education through workshops, seminars, and outreach initiatives to guarantee
long-term sustainability. A sense of ownership and pride was fostered by actively
involving the neighborhood in the upkeep and defense of the garden.

Human skill and dedication to preserving nature's treasures are evident in the
layout and restoration of the Hilltop Garden in Montalban, Rizal. There are now
opportunities for visitors to rediscover inspiration and a safe place for
reconnecting with nature. This gorgeous garden is surrounded by thick vegetation
and breathtaking natural scenery, making it a breathtaking location for anyone
who enjoy the outdoors. The Hilltop Garden, however, has been neglected and
allowed to decay over time despite its beauty. As a result, it no longer draws as
many people as it once did, and its beauty and allure have faded.

A group of enthusiastic people have banded together with the goal of inventing
and recreating the Hilltop Garden's hidden beauty in order to resuscitate and
restore it to its previous splendor. The garden will be transformed into a bustling
communal space that will provide a refuge for sociability, leisure, and relaxation
for the residents of Montalban and the neighborhood. They hope to increase
awareness of the Hilltop Garden and encourage people to value and protect this
natural beauty via their work. They think that by doing this, they may have a good
effect on both the environment and the lives of those who come to the garden
and enjoy it.

This research explores the history and current state of the Hilltop Garden, the
challenges faced by the group in their mission to restore it, and the strategies
they have employed to achieve their goals. It also examines the impact of their
efforts on the local community and the environment, as well as the lessons that

pg. 12
can be learned from their experience in inventing and recreating the hidden
beauty of the Hilltop Garden.

1.2 Theoretical Framework

1. Analyze the current site parameters, including topography, soil type,
climate, and vegetation, before start your landscape architecture and
design project. To develop an aesthetically pleasing and useful garden,
take into account the principles of landscape architecture and design. To
further enhance the natural beauty of the hilltop garden, this may include
adding features like terracing, paths, water features, seating places, and
plant choices.
2. Promote environmental sustainability by adding green gardening
techniques into your design. This can entail collecting rainwater, adopting
native plants that need less water and upkeep, using organic gardening
methods, and taking into account renewable energy sources for irrigation
or lighting systems.
3. Attempt to improve and maintain the hilltop garden's biodiversity.
Ecological balance. Utilize local plant species to draw in animals and
encourage pollination. To sustain varied ecosystems and preserve
ecological balance, think about building habitat spaces such as birdhouses
or butterfly gardens.
4. Examine the cultural and historical importance of Montalban, Rizal, and
include components that pay homage to the area's legacy. This can entail
combining regionally specific plant species, historical objects, or artwork
that honors the history of the area.

pg. 13
 5. User Experience and Recreation: Take into account the requirements of
the hilltop garden's intended users. Create areas that promote social
interaction, entertainment, and relaxation. Include places for people to sit
down, look out from, have a picnic, and use recreational amenities in a
way that complements the natural environment.
6. Include the neighborhood in the creation and recreation of the hilltop
garden by engaging and involving the community. Ask for their opinions,
suggestions, and involvement in decision-making to ensure the garden
matches the community's goals and preferences and to help people feel a
sense of ownership.
7. Education and Interpretation: Create learning opportunities in the
garden to promote environmental preservation, sustainable lifestyles, and
the neighborhood ecology. To educate visitors about the natural and
cultural elements of the hilltop garden, put up interpretive signage, provide
seminars, or create interactive exhibits.
8. Care and Long-Term viability: Create a thorough care strategy to
guarantee the hilltop garden's beauty and long-term viability. Think about
getting the community involved in upkeep tasks, form alliances with
neighborhood groups, or set aside funds for ongoing maintenance and
occasional improvements.
You may develop a theoretical framework for developing and replicating the
elusive beauty of a hilltop garden in Montalban, Rizal, by taking into account
these factors and combining pertinent ideas, practices, and principles.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

The concepts, completed thesis, generalizations or conclusions, techniques,

and other items are included in this chapter. Information that is pertinent to and
similar to the current study can be familiarized thanks to those that were included
in this chapter.

2.1 Local Literature

According to Aquino (2005), importance of computer application is increasing
day by day. In the latest decades of the Millennium winning organization are those
which are willing to integrate business strategy and computer information
technology in plying their respective trades. The use of computer information
technology results for them to be able to develop products fast and make
decisions fast, ability to have fluid organization structures, able to cope with the
demanding work force and external environment by the rapid development of
innovative approaches and lastly using information system confirms the
company's mission vision.
Schools use information systems in the way of implementing an enrolment
system. This results for them to attack enrollees and earn an income. Enrollees
are attracted because the use of the said system makes the transactions faster
and easier.
"Lack of enrolment system in schools can lead to chaos and troubles", as
stated by Ace Adrian (2011). Students will be confused on what they should do
to be able to enroll that is why such systems is extremely useful in the way that it
gives an ease on working on enrolment processes. Enrollment is very useful in
retrieving vital information of the students. Without it can lead difficulty both for
the administration of school and student in enrollment processes.
Many countries nowadays, especially the developing nations are
challenged by the rapid technological changes. This has radically changed the
living and working styles of the entire society. This transformation has been
driven partly by rapid

technological innovation. While in the 20th century saw the rise of the industrial
revolution with steam-powered machines intensifying and expanding human
productive power, the 21thcentury was characterized by the birth of machine-
powered flight and the emergence of broadcasting and computer technologies

pg. 25
the extend the reach of human creativity even more and made possible new ways
by which humans could live and work together (Tinio,2002).

The transformation of manual enrollment transaction to automated and

now into a web based automation is one example of what has driven partly by
the rapid technological innovation. Any ways just to make work easier and faster
like enrollment transactions is possible with the emergence of computer
technologies.
Technology innovation had influenced man's work from data processing,
business transaction, research, planning, monitoring and even in medical
operation on human anatomy are now entrusted to computer technology. Web
applications are popular due to ubiquity of its applications. The ability to update
and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on
potentially thousands of client computers are key reasons for its popularity. A
significant advantage of building web applications to support a standard browser
feature is the ability to perform as specified, regardless of the operating system
installed on a given client (Bacala & Reanno, 2009).
A web-based enrolment system has featured that meet most of academic
institutions system's needs and requirements. This includes standardized
modules for student registration, enrolment. grade management, and other
modules that are deemed necessary to operate a school.

2.2 Foreign Literature

According to Jennifer Rowley (2005), information systems are a tool to support
information management. Information systems are increasingly being used in
organizations with the objective of providing competitive advantage. The
information systems used by organizations can be grouped into different types
such as transaction processing system. management information system,
decision support system, executive information system. expert systems and
office information system. Information Technology has heralded the advent of the
information society. The information society may be a virtual society. The
concepts of the electronic classroom, the electronic office and electronic library
have been explored. Information system poses a number of issues on society in
general, including: changing employment patterns, archiving, and bibliographic
control, security and data protection, intellectual property, marketplace issues
and access.

An enrollment system is basically included in one of the classification of

information system that is stated by the author, thus it serves a tool to support
information management with regards to the student data, enrolment fees
information and other with a connection to the enrolment process. Every school

pg. 26
gain competitive advantage of having this system for they will have the capacity
on handling important information at ease and with security.

The iterative implementation approach is a theory that eliminates problems

of using a waterfall study. This is invented to avoid a linear and sequential
development of study. The overall functionality of the system is broken down into
feature sets. These features sets often based upon use cases from the analysis
stage, containing group of individual features that are related, typically by a
functional area (Stephen McHenry, 2010).

WAMPS (WAMP means Windows Apache My sol PHP) is a platform of

Web development under Windows. It allows you to develop dynamic Web sites
with Apache server, PHP5 script language, and the database of MySQL release
5. It also possesses PHP My Admin and SQLite manager to manage more easily
your databases.

Windows 7 is an operating system produced by Microsoft for use on

personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks,
tablet PCs, and media center PCs It was released to manufacturing on July 22,
2009, and became generally available for retail worldwide on October 22, 2009
less than three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista.
Windows 7's server counterpart. Windows Server 2008 R2, was released at the
same time. Windows 7 is succeeded by Windows 8.

Adopting the theory of Stephen McHenry which is known as the iterative

implementation covers the breakdown of overall functionality of the system to a
what he called feature set and those feature sets represents different process
involve in an enrollment system. It helps locate what feature an enrollment
system will have since that this kind of systems does many activities and
processes.

According to Dunn and Scott (2005), science and technology is the root of
emerging innovations in this world. For many years now, a person in this field of
expertise does not stop to reshape the landscape of today's business world.

Enrollment system has made huge impact into the school arena. It is a
system that is built on innovative program strategies. It is a system that will help
both the enrollment personnel-in-charge and the students to easily process the
enrollment at a lesser time. Distinct from traditional enrollment. LAN enrollment
system process large assortment of student records and provides efficient and
consistent information services.

pg. 27
 As stated by Holmes (2006). "The Internet is neither an extraordinary
communication tool nor revolutionary. It simply represents the current stage in
the development of human capabilities through written language, which itself
derived from the spoken form." That statement only shows that advancement in
n\modem technology is at their highest peak. Nowadays, Web-based applications
are widely used due to their ubiquity.

Web-based enrollment system is currently emerging on markets for they

are offering transaction convenience and service efficiency through the use of
Internet. This system becomes a powerful tool in dealing with information
management regarding enrollment transactions.

According to Forman(2007), continuing innovation in technologies can

lead to organizational changes that range from improvement of day to day
operation and for easy access it provides for the end users. Many schools today
have adapted this innovation in offering of their services.

2.3 Local Studies

Based on the researcher, a web-based enrolment system for Veritas Parochial
School (VPS) in Manila was developed to help its students enroll in a more
efficient way without the hassles of waiting long hours in filling out forms, which
sometimes become redundant, or to stand in line and pay at the cashier. It is with
the Web-based Enrolment System for VPS that this new style of enrolment may
be achieved. This new type of system offers its students new options for enrolling
at VPS. By logging on to VPS website, one can register and enroll subjects for a
school year. With these, all the students are required to fill out certain forms that
do not take more than a few minutes to accomplish. The system stores its records
in the school database for future references.

Confirmation of the transaction made by the students need to be verified,

the payment of tuition fees must be made in the school's registrar. The students
may also browse the web site of VPS and he can check his current account. He
can also refer to the list of the school current tuition fee rates (Pascual & Riceo,
2008).

According to the project study in 2005 by Mr. Lopez, an enrolment system

help and provide efficient and reliable services to the students, enrolment
personnel and administration. Moreover, this system improved the process of
enrolment in terms of searching, retrieving and subject schedules.

pg. 28
 An Online Enrolment System was proposed to replace the manual
enrolment system of Cavite Maritime Institute to advance an organized flow of
transaction and an ease of work concerned on how the manual enrolment
performs throughout the institution's operations. The numerous transactions that
the manual system covers, such as updating and adding student records,
generating the advising and assessment slips, and the like considering the
manual operating system to be inefficient for the need of the institution. Since the
study involves proper record handling, tracing the constraints and evaluation of
the manual system inessential (Bacala and Reano, 2009).

In educational institutions like Harvent School in Dagupan City, Composed

of elementary and high school level. The school puts premium to its registration.
The enrollment process is the initial stage in gathering bon fide and accurate
student information necessary to establish student permanent records. A
registration and billing system is needed by the institution to address the stated
situation. The study has been made to help Harvent School gather fast and
deliver accurate information (Calabozo& Fernandez, 2006).

In a study conducted by Cayabyab (2007), many problems and difficulties

were identified in the existing system of Dagupan City National High School
(DCNHS). These major concerns are affecting the efficient enrolment system of
students. Security of the students records were found to be at high risk. The
current system may fail to protect some important documents. It has also untimely
and inefficient report generation. A computerized system for DCNHS shall result
to a significant increase in the number of enrollees.

2.4 Foreign Studies

Southern California Community College Long Beach City College has gone
live with a Cognos-based enrolment management system that was designed by
Irvine, CA-based professional services firm e2e Analytics. Prior to installing the
new system, LBCC, which has two main campuses and multiple satellites that
support nine schools and 34 departments, handled its enrolment via manual
spread sheets. With no reporting, continuity, or standard practices, and with
lengthy error corrections, the school's enrolment management budgeting and
planning took up to three months to compile, consolidate, and implement (Koft
2007).

The study on problems regarding on school such as the Long Beach City
College is an aid for the proponents to have the idea on formulating solutions on
transferring manual enrollment transactions to an automated or computerized
one.

pg. 29
 According to the coordinator of Admission Support of Kerian Greenaway.
the system known as the Edith Cowan University Web Enrollment System
(ECUWES) had replaced the traditional hard copy system of enrollment. The
system offers immediacy and convenience of course enrolment via the internet.
The said university in Australia is currently enrolling more than 5,000 new
students with easier transactions cause of their online enrolment system. In the
local setting, academic institutions both the private and government schools are
shifting from manual to computerized system including student registration. This
is accomplished either on an intranet or internet-based environment.

The desire to overcome these problems and difficulties has led the
acceptance of advanced technology. It includes Local Area Network of
computers, CD ROM and powerful processor. These technologies led to the
development of information databases that provides simple and prompt retrieval
of information through networking. In Local Area Network Enrollment System
(LANES), the problems on admission and evaluation of academic records,
subject reservation, assessment and payment of fees and issuance of class
cards are besieged. Likewise, searching of records is effective due to its major
key that is being used in retrieval of records.

A Local Area Network Enrollment System (LANES) is a broad system. It

is a combination of different function areas such as databases, searching,
retrieval, and update of student records, checking of student's schedule,
computation of fees. (Dzubeck, Frank, 2003).

Inspired by the advancement of modern technology and the problems

regarding enrollment transactions the proponents have come up with an online
enrollment system exclusively for school with many enrollees. Several factors are
considered in designing the proposed system. First is the tedious task of filling
out application forms and inaccuracies of information provided by the students
that cause delay on the enrollment process. Other is that there were problems on
giving and announcing schedules of enrollees and cause for them to be late at
their very first class.

The researchers gathered data necessary in the enrollment system for the
success of the study in providing benefit for the employees and students so they
can have access and have the ability to manage information directly and
conveniently.

2.5 Synthesis
The "Invent and Recreate" program for Hilltop Garden in Montalban, Rizal
entails combining insights and ideas discovered from related literature and
studies, both local and foreign.

Integration of Cultural Heritage: Incorporate elements of local culture and

heritage into the garden design. Incorporate sculptures, facilities, or themed
gardens to draw inspiration from local traditions, traditions, and historical events.
This approach will give visitors a sense of place while also increasing a stronger
connection to the region's cultural heritage.

Implement sustainable landscaping practices to maintain the garden's

natural beauty and ecological balance. This includes the use of native plants and
trees, the use of environmentally friendly irrigation systems, and the promotion of
biodiversity through the inclusion of indigenous flora. Sustainable practices will
not only improve the garden's aesthetic appeal but will also help to ensure its
long-term viability.

Interpretation and Education: Within the garden, create an interpretive

center or information hub that highlights the history, significance, and cultural
context of Montalban, Rizal. Incorporate multimedia exhibits, interactive displays,
and informative signage to engage visitors and help them better understand the
garden's hidden beauty and cultural significance.

Incorporate literary elements throughout the garden to celebrate local

literature and literary heritage. Designate areas for compositions corners, install
plaques or stones engraved with literary excerpts, and create outdoor libraries
featuring works by local authors. This integration will create a one-of-a-kind
experience in which visitors can be immersed in the beauty of nature while being
inspired by the written word.

Community Engagement: Actively engage local residents, organizations,

and schools in order to promote a sense of community ownership and
involvement. Encourage participation in garden maintenance, cultural events,
and promoting the garden as a community gathering place. Collaboration will
strengthen community ties, ensure the garden's long-term viability, and foster a
shared sense of pride in the region's heritage.

pg. 31
 Enhance visitor experiences by incorporating technology and interactive
elements. To provide guided tours, storytelling, or educational content,
incorporate touchscreens, augmented reality, or mobile apps. These interactive
features will capture the interest of a wide range of visitors and will help to create
a dynamic and immersive environment within the garden.

Tourism and Promotion: Create comprehensive marketing and promotion

strategies to attract both domestic and international visitors. Collaborate with
tourism boards, travel agencies, and online platforms to highlight the modified
Hilltop Garden's unique beauty and cultural significance. To position it as a must-
visit destination, emphasize its connection to local literature, ecological
sustainability, and immersive experiences.

The "Invent and Recreate" program for Hilltop Garden in Montalban, Rizal
aims to create an aesthetically pleasing combination of nature, culture, and
literature by combining these ideas and approaches. This reimagined garden will
be a place of beauty, education, and community pride, attracting visitors looking
for an immersive experience that celebrates Montalban, Rizal's hidden gems.

Methodology

3.1 Research Methodology

The current study is based on ecotourism and how it affects the industry's
ability to grow sustainably. This study also examines all facets of ecotourism at
Hilltop Garden, Montalban, Rizal, and the effects of those facets on the expansion
of the tourism sector in terms of both visitor numbers and revenue. Some field
data would be needed for this investigation.

3.2 Research Design

A market research technique known as qualitative research focuses on
gathering information through conversational and open-ended dialogue.

This approach considers both the "what" and "why" of people's opinions.
Take a convenience store, for instance, that wants to increase customer traffic.
A thorough investigation reveals that more men visited this store than women. An
in-depth conversation with potential customers in the category is an excellent way
to find out why ladies did not visit the store.

The store doesn't have enough items for women, which is why there are
fewer women who visit it. This was discovered after successfully interviewing
female customers, visiting nearby stores and malls, and randomly selecting them.
However, it took personal interaction with the women to fully comprehend why
they didn't visit the store because there were more male products than female
ones.

Since the interviewer/researcher also seeks to understand the

respondents' motive and feelings, the qualitative research methods enable in-
depth and further proved and questioned of respondents based on their
responses.

Qualitative Research Methods with Examples

pg. 33
 Qualitative research techniques are made to assist you understand how a
target audience behaves and thinks about a particular subject. A number of
Numerous qualitative research techniques, including in-depth interviews, focus
groups, ethnographic studies, content analyses, and case study studies, are
frequently employed.

Results from qualitative methods are more descriptive, and conclusions

may be made from the collected data relatively simply.

The social and behavioral sciences are where these qualitative research
techniques first appeared. Our world is increasingly intricate now, making it
challenging to comprehend how people think and view the world. Understanding
that is made simpler by qualitative research methods since it is more descriptive
and conversational.

The following are the qualitative research methods that are frequently used:

1. One-on-One Interview: One of the most popular techniques for

conducting qualitative research is conducting in-depth interviews. One
respondent is interviewed one-on-one in a personal setting. This approach
is entirely conversational and provides chances to probe the respondent
for specific information.

One benefit of this approach is that it gives you a fantastic chance to collect
detailed information about people's beliefs and motivations. Asking the
appropriate questions can aid a researcher in gathering useful data if they
have the necessary skills. The researchers should ask such follow-up
questions that would assist them in gathering more information if they
should need more.

These interviews can be conducted in-person or over the phone and often
last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours or longer. Face-to-face in-
depth interviews provide a better opportunity to interpret respondents'
body language and match their responses.

2. Focus groups: One of the frequently employed qualitative research

techniques for gathering data is a focus group. Only a few participants (6–
10) from your target market typically participate in focus groups.
Finding answers to the why, what, and how questions is the focus group's
major goal. Focus groups have the benefit of allowing you to communicate

pg. 34
 with the group virtually. Today, focus groups can be polled online using a
variety of devices, and results can be gathered at the press of a button.
Compared to other qualitative research techniques, focus groups are an
expensive method. Usually, they are employed to clarify intricate
procedures. When conducting market research on fresh goods and tried-
and-true ideas, this approach is quite helpful.

3. Process of observation: A research method known as qualitative

observation uses subjective methodologies to compile organized
information or data. The research process of using subjective approaches
to obtain information or data is the focus of qualitative observation. Quality
discrepancies are generally equated via the qualitative observation.

The five main senses of sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing are all included in
qualitative observation. This involves attributes rather than measures or
numbers.

3.3 Population and Sampling

50 participants from ICCT Colleges Students, will participate in the study.

3.4 Respondents of the Study

The respondents in this study were local tourists who frequently visited Hilltop
Garden in Montalban Rizal. 100 participants in total, 95 tourists, and 5 tour
guides. The profile of the respondents is related in terms of their age, gender,
and highest educational attainment.

The respondents chosen are competent enough to answer the survey

questions and provide the information required to complete the research.

3.5 Research Instrument

The questionnaire will be the main tool employed in this study, allowing us to
guarantee despondency to specific questions. The purpose of the questionnaire
employed in this study was to learn how people preserve the area's beauty.

The researcher developed the questionnaire by reading reference

materials and learning about ways to preserve the environment's beauty.

3.6 Data Gathering Procedure

pg. 35
 The tour guides and some of the cave visitors will receive surveys from the
researcher. The retrieval of responses will make it easier for the researchers to
handle the questionnaire individually. The researcher was also able to conduct
interviews simultaneously and consecutively thanks to this approach. The
questionnaire responses were gathered by the researchers.

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of;

1.1 Gender,
1.2 Age,
1.3 Economic status

2. What are the main causes of Hilltop Garden's degradation and the
deterioration of its initial beauty as a result of neglect?

The descriptive method of study was used by the researcher. Since this is a
status trend study, the descriptive survey method of research for this topic was
deemed viable. The research was broken down into five chapters: introduction,
theoretical background, study area, analysis and interpretation of data, summary,
and conclusion and recommendations.

The orientation of the study themes were outlined in Chapter 1 to clear up any
misunderstandings. These concepts included tourism, tourists, safety, and
security concerns. The study's objectives, which served as instructions for how

the study should be done, were also represented in this chapter. It also included
the set of hypotheses that most of the study's conclusions were based on. It also
supplied the data collecting and analysis methods. Data collection using the

pg. 75
specified questionnaire was successful, and data analysis using the computer
program statistical package for the social sciences was successful as well. In
order to display the responses of subjects to a questionnaire that was given,
frequency tables and graphs were employed.

Chapter 2 of the study is another crucial chapter. This Chapter summarized the
work of various tourist researchers who have studied the subject. It provided a
framework for developing the study's hypotheses. The presentation of data forms
was one of the study's core chapters. The statistics collected were made clearer
using tables and graphics. The respondents' demographic data was the first set
of information supplied.

Although respondents varied greatly in terms of personal traits, a wide range of

personal attributes were offered in this phase of the study. The concluding
chapter of this chapter provided an overview of the subject matter of the
investigation. Additionally, it provided an overview of the study's findings and,
when appropriate, recommended recommendations.

5.2 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The generated data were organized in accordance with the issues raised
for the study.

A. Demographics Profile of the Respondents

pg. 76
 • The findings clearly show that there are more female respondents
(68%) than male respondents (30%) in the sample. A relatively small
percentage of participants (2%), who support respondents' right to
privacy, also stated that they would prefer to remain anonymous.
• Age Distribution: The majority of responders (92%) are between the
ages of 18 and 27, according to the data. This demonstrates that the
survey's primary focus was on a younger population. Indicating that
there are less senior adults in the sample, the remaining 8% of
respondents are between the ages of 28 and 37.
• Only 4% of respondents (or 96% of respondents) reported being
married. This distribution indicates that the survey might have been
more relevant to single
persons or that there might be a stronger connection between the
poll's topic and single life.
• Economic Situation: The results show that only 30% of respondents
are currently employed, while 70% are unemployed. The study may
have included a large sample of individuals from a range of
socioeconomic situations, according to this indication. The non-
working group may also consist of students, retirees, homemakers, or
individuals who are currently unemployed, whereas the working group
is likely to be made up of persons who are employed or self-employed.

2. What are the main causes of Hilltop Garden's degradation and the
deterioration of its initial beauty as a result of neglect?

Service 1 2 3 4 5
a. Lack of Maintenance: Without routine
attention, gardens can easily grow out of
control and become disorganized. Plants
could die, weeds might take over, and the
garden might lose its aesthetic appeal.
b. Neglected gardens are more likely to
experience insect and disease outbreaks.
These pests can injure plants and cause
additional decline if they are not treated right
once.
c. Lack of care can cause the soil in the garden
to become depleted of vital nutrients, which
makes it difficult for plants to flourish.
d. Watering Problems: Neglected gardens may
experience inconsistent watering or a
complete absence of water, which can cause
plant mortality and a general loss in garden
health.
e. Structural Decay: Due to neglect, garden
features like fences, paths, and seating
spaces may deteriorate over time and reduce
the aesthetic of the garden as a whole.

Faculty infrastructure 1 2 3 4 5
a. Weather Effects: If precautions are not taken,
extreme weather conditions, such as

pg. 90
 torrential rain, severe storms, or protracted
drought, can harm the garden.
b. Lack of Design and Planning: Poorly
designed and planned gardens may lose their
original charm and fail to create a setting that
is aesthetically pleasing.

3. What are the main causes of the environmental deterioration at Hilltop

Garden, which leads to soil erosion, a decline in biodiversity, and changes
in plant life?

Awareness/Seminar 1 2 3 4 5
1.1. Lack of Sustainable methods: If the garden is
not managed using sustainable methods,
such as efficient water management,
conservation of the soil, and recycling of
trash, it may worsen the environment.
1.2. Insufficient Drainage: Inadequate drainage
can cause waterlogging, which changes the
soil's structure and makes it more prone to
erosion.
1.3. Overexploitation of Resources: Degradation
may result from over use of the garden's
resources, including water, soil nutrients, and
plants.
1.4. Deforestation and Land Use Changes: If trees
are cut down or the garden is expanded at the
expense of native plants, this might disturb
the local ecosystem and cause soil erosion.
1.5. Introducing invasive plant species can cause
native plants to get outcompeted, which
reduces biodiversity and alters the garden's
plant life.

pg. 91
 Training 1 2 3 4 5
2.1. Poor Land Management: Poor land
management techniques, such as not
terracing or contouring slopes, can cause soil
erosion, particularly during times of irrigation
or significant rainfall.
2.2. Clearing natural plants and trees has the
potential to upset ecosystems, lessen
biodiversity, and expose the soil to erosion.
2.3. Invading Species: By outcompeting native
plants and upsetting the balance of the
environment, invading plant species can
cause a reduction in biodiversity.
2.4. Overgrazing: If there are grazing animals in or
close to the garden, overgrazing can result in
the soil becoming compacted, the plants
becoming less covered, and the soil
becoming more vulnerable to erosion.
2.5. Chemical pollution: Overuse of pesticides,
herbicides, and fertilizers can contaminate
the soil and water, hurting helpful creatures
and lowering biodiversity.

pg. 92
 4. What ground-breaking remedies may be put into practice to alleviate
Hilltop Garden's infrastructural issues and enhance visitors' access to
and enjoyment of the garden?

Training 1 2 3 4 5
1.1. Implement intelligent pathways with sensors
and LED lights that change brightness
dependent on the amount of natural light
present. Wheelchair-accessible paths that
lead guests through the garden's different
attractions can be created.
1.2. Introduce vertical gardens and green walls to
maximize space and increase the amount of
vegetation without increasing the garden's
overall size. The peacefulness of the garden
can be improved by the natural sound barriers
that these vertical installations can also serve
as.
1.3. Create an app for augmented reality (AR) tour
guides that tourists can utilize with their
smartphones or AR goggles. As users tour
the garden, the app can offer interactive
information about various plants, historical
elements, and other areas of interest.
1.4. Install green roofs and rainwater collection
systems on existing garden structures to add
more green areas. In order to reduce reliance
on outside water sources, rainwater
harvesting devices can be installed into these
roofs to collect and store rainfall for garden
irrigation.
1.5. Integrate renewable energy sources to power
lights, water features, and other infrastructure
in the garden by using solar panels and other

pg. 93
 such systems. The garden's carbon footprint
will be smaller as a result of this drive toward
sustainability, which also demonstrates
environmental responsibility.

Safety 1 2 3 4 5
2.1. Personal wearable safety gadgets, such as smart
wristbands or pendants with panic buttons,
should be introduced to guests. Pressing the
panic button will notify park staff in case of an
emergency, allowing for quick aid.
2.2. Automated hazard detection: Use AI-powered
automated hazard detection systems to spot
possible hazards including slick surfaces,
downed trees, and shaky building structures.
Staff can receive immediate alerts to deal with
these problems as soon as they arise.
2.3. Monitoring with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) Use UAVs with cameras to conduct aerial
surveillance. These drones can keep an eye on
the entire garden and give security workers real-
time footage.
2.4. Regular safety education sessions for visitors,
especially kids, should be held. These programs
should highlight the dos and don'ts when a tourist
is exploring the garden. This will increase
awareness and assist to cut down on accidents.
2.5. Secure Wi-Fi Network: Provide a dependable
and secure Wi-Fi network inside the garden so
that guests can readily access communication
channels, maps, and emergency services.

pg. 94
 Law 1 2 3 4 5
3.1. Public-business Partnerships (PPP): Create a
PPP to use the resources and skills of the
business sector to upgrade the infrastructure of
the garden. Funding and specialist knowledge
can be obtained through this collaboration in
order to carry out improvements while abiding by
pertinent laws and regulations.
3.2. Green building certifications: To promote
sustainable and environmentally friendly
infrastructure development, advocate the
adoption of green building methods and seek out
green building certifications if any new
constructions or repairs are planned within the
garden.
3.3. Create incentive schemes for companies and
organizations that make investments in the
construction of sustainable infrastructure inside
the garden. These inducements may take the
form of tax advantages or special access for
customers to particular garden sections.
3.4. Ensure that any infrastructure improvements and
adjustments adhere to the universal design
standards to make the garden accessible to
seniors and persons with disabilities. The
experience for all visitors will be improved by this
respect to inclusion laws.
3.5. Implementing smart waste management
techniques will improve waste collection,
recycling, and disposal. Utilizing technology like
garbage sorting bins, composting facilities, and
waste-to-energy options can help with this.

pg. 95
