There are three classifications of respondents to determine the level of

perception suitability of the project shown in Table 1. One hundred nine (109) of

the respondents or 49% are students, eighty-two (82) are working professionals

or 37% of the respondents, while thirty-one (31) of them or 14% are non-

working.

Since most of the visitors are students and professionals, there should

be a fair assessment of fees. Fees for the students must be cheaper compared

to the fees of professionals.

Table 2 shows that all respondents are interested to visit the Silay City

Watersports and Recreation Park in the future.

Therefore, the design of the park should be able to cater and satisfy the

needs of the users in order to evoke interest to others. The addition of

watersports and water play facilities to the recreation park will give more reason

for the visitors to come to the park.

With concerns of security and protection, there are no records of

hazard or any forms of destruction and terrorism within the site. According

to the City Planning and Development Office, the Air force will be

transferring near the airport. Since the site is located near the airport, there

is better security along the site.

e. Presence of Natural Forms or Landmarks, Features, Views and Vistas

The site is relatively flat and there are existing fruit bearing trees and

crops in the site. There is a scenic view of the existing Imbang Creek.

B. As to Site Development

The researcher visited various recreation areas in Negros namely,

Nature’s Village Resort, Palmas Del Mar, Sta. Fe Resort and Caribbean

Waterpark. The researcher has also visited Camsur Watersports Complex in

Naga and Caliraya Recreation Center in Laguna.


Prior to the researcher’s observation, the following recreation areas vary

in terms of site planning concept. Some used a cluster type of planning

concept, whereas others applied sprawling, centralized and linear. Site

planning concepts differ because of site orientation, location, topography and

other factors affecting the site.

D. As to Building Aesthetics

The mansion of Camsur Watersports Complex has a Spanish-colonial

(Mestizo) architectural character, with the use of arches and brown colored

roofs. Whereas other structures like the trailer homes and eco-village embody a

green architectural character. The structures in Caribbean Waterpark has a

post-modern style.

E. As to Building Strength and Durability

Reinforced concrete is a very apparent material being used to construct

the structures in recreation and watersports parks. Other materials used for

construction also include timber, glass, cobble stones, sand stone, pebbles,

ceramic tiles, galvanized iron, and steel.

F. As to Building Engineering and Utility System

Appropriate electrical and water system and communication lines are

established for a functional and well-constructed building. Air conditioning is

also provided to selected private and public areas.


4.2 INTERVIEW

The researcher was able to conduct an informal interview with Arch. Alfie

Orceo who has designed Recreational facilities from Cebu to Davao, Arch.

Roger Andre T. Aguilar, UAP, the researcher’s project consultant, and Ms.

Michelle C. Salon, Nature’s Village Sales and Marketing Associate. This

discussion intends to gather ideas and data that the researcher cannot obtain

through other forms of research instruments.

The researcher has prepared questions based from the statement of the

problem and these are the questions the researcher raised from each of them:

As to Site Development

1. What do you think is the appropriate site planning concept to use in

this master development project?

Arch. Orceo

“Plan a schematic flow of activities in the site so that there is a clear

interaction between the users and the site. There must be a tour package, so

that the guests will not get confused to which activity to attend to.”


Arch. Arguilar

“It can be centralized planning having one main structure that will

connect all the supporting structures.”

Ms. Salon

“The site must be located at an area by the coast or near the beach

perhaps.”

As to Building Function

1. For the Youth Camp, what are your suggested facilities/activities to

be provided?

The researcher summarized the answers given by them and these are

as follows.

Arch. Alfie Orceo

“Plot the structures to create a more holistic approach to the project. Add

or delete some facilities and activities which are too common and unnecessary

like the basketball, volleyball, soccer, bowling and badminton. I suggest the

Zorb (putting a human inside an inflatable ball and letting him/her play along the

water) which is now a fad, and also put up ATV rides.”


“A Ceres bus roughly accommodates up to 50 passengers. Make sure

that your spaces can cater to as much as 50 persons (minimum space

requirements).”

Arch. Aguilar

“There should be a good restaurant that caters to all clients of the place-

from adventure seekers to groups having their events in the place.”

Ms. Salon

“For outdoors, provide jet skiing/ wakeboarding, banana boat ride,

basketball, volleyball, and tennis courts. For indoors, activities may

include badminton and swimming.”

As to Building Aesthetics

1. In terms of its architectural character, for you what is the most suitable

character to be applied?

2. What are the design motifs that you would suggest for this project?


Arch. Orceo

“I agree on your idea of Neo-Vernacular architecture so that you can

complement the eco-projects in Silay. I suggest you should check out Bali

architecture, which is quite similar to Neo-Vernacular. You should focus on

Neo-vernacular architecture as your design motif.”

Neo-vernacular architecture, which is a contemporary Filipino

architecture will be the character to be used in this project.

Arch. Aguilar

“I would go for a more modern design utilizing green architectural

applications. The design motif should highlight the element of water since the

place is a watersport center.”

Ms. Salon

“Maybe neo-vernacular (Filipino contemporary) - Silay City is known for

its heritage sites, it would be good to adopt a theme very much connected to its

image.”


Other Suggestions and Recommendations

Arch. Orceo

“Your survey must show the viability of the respondent’s acceptance to

the project. According to our conducted survey in Cebu, it is the Chinese and

Koreans who are fond of these types of activities that you are proposing. It is

indeed a good tourist attraction. Provide a related literature of existing projects

probably two from the local and one from the international.”

Arch. Aguilar

“(Add a) man-made lake. Research some more on cable design

efficiency. There should be technical considerations as to direction and

distances.”

4.3 LIBRARY TECHNIQUES

As to Site

In site development planning, it is necessary to consider the site’s natural

and visual features. In Organizing the site, the features and views of the site

shall be maximized by utilizing and incorporating the natural attributes of site.

The design of the site development plan shall also reflect on locating the


spaces, parking, structures, and other facilities of the project with consideration

of the site’s natural aspects.

This concept to be used in the organization and planning of the site

development shall be cluster type. Clustering allows dynamism and active flow

of relationship between the user and the site. The clustered type of plan allows

such air ventilation to disperse.

As to Building Function

There should be a careful planning the active facilities such that there is

a clear and natural interaction between the spectators and performers. In

planning the recreational spaces, there must be a mixture of formal and

informal areas that will suite the social development of the users.

The major structure which is the Clubhouse shall cater the needs of the

users by coming up with a well functional plan allowing a good flow of activities

within the building.

As to Building Aesthetics

The researcher shall use this concept, Modern-Asian Architecture as a

basis for the building character and aesthetics. The design of the building shall

adopt also to the local climate, the culture and materials.


As to Building Technology

Steel framing method will be used for the construction of the roof using

elements that consist of combinations of steel beams, steel girders, and steel

columns, joined together at their intersections. Reinforced concrete shall also

be used on structural supports of the building.

As to Building Utilities System

Cable systems shall be used for the watersports cable park which will be

the main feature of the project. Infiltration systems are essential in the site. It

gives an overview that these are needed and shall be used in the project.

A hydraulic pump shall be used to pump out water from the Imbang

Creek. Also, Water Infiltration systems will be used to recycle and reuse water

for consumption.
