Debrief and Discussion Questions:
What were the most challenging factors in selecting a site?
- Dimension san lote
- Land Availability & Ownership – an iba na site is privately owned (like
Robinsons Place), making development more complicated.
- Current Land Use – Some sites, like Nijaga Park, are public spaces, which
means repurposing them could face community opposition.
- Infrastructure & Accessibility – The existing roads, utilities (water,
electricity), and transport access differ across sites.
Why?
may pros and cons kada site depende sa kun nano an karuyag e develop.
bus terminal is already a transit hub, but upgrading it requires handling traffic
and environmental concerns.
-it could cause traffic
How did environmental constraints impact your decision?
upon searching and by far akon experience na realize namon na gin
babaha an terminal, iton na environmental constraint is dire Talaga
maiiwasan so by redeveloping this site mas mapapaupay an flow ngan mas
mahihimo san structure an iya intended use ngan an mga current problem
yana masosolusyonan pag gin redevelope ine na terminal
Why?
Environmental factors are critical because they affect long-term sustainability. A site
with poor drainage might need expensive flood control measures. Parks and natural
spaces require careful planning to avoid harming the environment.
What were the biggest trade-offs when balancing accessibility, zoning,
and sustainability?
Accessibility vs. Environmental Protection – A site near a major road
(like the bus terminal) is very accessible but might contribute to pollution or
congestion..
Why?
Every site has trade-offs. If you prioritize accessibility, you might have to deal with
more traffic and pollution. If you focus on sustainability, you might have higher
costs. Balancing these factors is what makes site selection complex.
How would a real estate developer, government agency, or architect
approach site selection differently?
Real Estate Developer – Prioritizes profitability, so they would choose a site
that maximizes business potential (likely Robinsons Place).
Government Agency – Focuses on public benefit, like choosing the bus
terminal to improve transportation or Nijaga Park for recreation.
Architect – Considers design, function, and sustainability, ensuring the site
is both aesthetically and functionally suitable.
Why?
Different stakeholders have different priorities. A developer wants commercial
success, while the government thinks about community needs, and an architect
focuses on practicality and design
