SITE Selection The project entails the necessity for a thorough site selection process. The
research topic invoked the study to formulate general and specific criteria for the
feasibility of the project.
SITE Selection Criteria Choosing a site for a specific commercial and recreational development is
concentrated and must be properly scrutinized by existing factors and projected
issues. The process of evaluation is multifaceted and there will often be a several
options each with a different level of viability and appeal - both objective and
subjective
GROSS Site Selection
Figure i Calapan City Vicinity Map from Manila
The research project is specified to support economic, social,
tourism, and urban development of Calapan City, the town capital of the
Province of Oriental Mindoro, and is projected to cater and support the
neighboring towns as its minor beneficiary. The City of Calapan presents
potentials for urban development, being an underdeveloped third class
city. It is an hour ferry ride away from the Port of Batangas that has

direct access to the biggest metropolis of the country, the Mega Manila,
via South Luzon Expressway and Star Toll way. It is considered as the
gateway to the Golden Isle being that it serves as the linkage of the
remaining towns of Mindoro, heading to the south. Opportunities for
developments amended at the expansion of the Calapan Baseport and the
construction of Strong Republic Nautical Highway that opened the
province access to the Visayas region through the Roxas Ferry Terminal
at the southern district of the province.
DISCREET Site Selection
Developments started to sprout after the
conversion of Calapan into a city in 1998. Since then,
commercial franchises added up color to the town
proper and the City Government found an opening
for urban development. This includes several housing
developments and rehabilitation and relocation of
certain institutes. Due to lack of spaces and site
location for more expansions at the city center, or as
the locals call it “bayan”, and constraints in
converting agricultural land to commercial and other
type of developments, the urban planning department
designated specific areas ideal for constructions
approved by the local government unit. Areas around
the downtown proper have been carefully evaluated
as ideal and suitable for urban development; zoned as
midtown and urban development zones, regulated
and governed by the city.

Figure ii Cited Site Districts along Calapan River System
As specified by the research project, necessity for direct access to
river systems is a major criterion in selecting ideal site. The Calapan
River system runs across town connecting prospective site locations along
the downtown, midtown and the urban development zones of the city
proper. Downtown lots that are seated along the said river systems are
occupied by different uses and functions that impose threats to the design
project. Areas along midtown and urban development zones cite
potentials for development and wide berth for possible creative output in
terms of design and distribution of function.

FUNCTIONAL Site Selection The previous selection process projected several parcels
and lots within the regions and districts banking along the
Calapan River Systems with potent physical features and
characters to site and present the project as sufficient and feasible.
Several lots are previously privately owned donated to the city
government to provide wider possibilities for urban expansion and
progress. These areas are majority of vast plain fields and several
cited for housing and recreational developments. Some of these
lands are projected for relocation of institutional and commercial
functions due to growing congestion at the poblacion proper.
There at least five unoccupied government areas sitting along the
said river system that display strong possibilities for flexible
development projects.

SITE Selection Process
As presented by the project proposal, the research
demands definitive process of site selection to support the
sufficiency and feasibility of the stated design goals and
objectives. Each site is assessed and carefully examined through
each specific features, characters and factors that may affect or
may support the research conclusion. The selection process will
define which of the potential project site would be most suited for
the specified development. Assessment of site compatibility is
criticized subjected to the hierarchical importance of the existing
and projected elements and factors.
• MAJOR CRITERIA shall comprise seventy percent (70%) of
the screening process. It shall define the sites’ response and
potential for functionality and accessibility, supporting
sufficiency and feasibility of developing the proposed design
project to the town location.
o FUNCTIONALITY 35%
Compatibility to Urban Land Use, Urban
Development and the Research Project (35%) – the
site must be responsive to the city governance’s vision
for urban development and must provide the project
an ideal location that should comply to the local
resolutions and ordinances.
o ACCESSIBILITY 35%
Vehicular Traffic (10%) – vehicular access is a major
factor to ensure success and viability of the design
project.
Accessible distance to specific communal services
(10%) – easy access to services that are not provided in
the development and institutions that could promote
the project description would also help support the
viability of the design project. as the project
description and the local profile dictates, the
development is bounded and services offered is

constrained, that immediate or easy access to several
services is need.
Pedestrian Circulation (10%) – accessible road
network and walkability – pedestrian access would
promote a user friendly development and will sustain
the effectiveness of the design and research project. It
is also a huge factor to promote the development and
to entice users, making the project constructive to the
stated significance of the study.
Access to other services (not specified above) (5%) –
accessibility to other functions and services like
commercial, institutional, recreational and residential
districts will also support the project’s feasibility and
profitability by enticing more users.
• MINOR SITE CRITERIA shall impart thirty percent (30%)
in the selection process. These criterions are supporting walls
to the efficiency of the research and design project.
o PHYSICAL PROPERTIES (30%)
Size and Parameter (10%) – buildable areas and
potential buffer and easement would support the
architectural design of the project and would promote
possible expansion.
Geologic Character (10%) – Type of soil, temperate
norms and direct access to possible rehabilitation of
water bounded facility
Susceptibility (10%) to natural disasters and
destructive occurrences such as flood, earthquake and
erosion as required by the project to defend and
objectify
