A.                 SOCIAL SECTOR

 

1.                  Education

 

1.1       Pre-School (Kindergarten Level)

 

1.  School site must have a minimum lot area of 500 square meters. The area may be  divided into a minimum 140 square meters for the playground. This area is only good for not more than 4 classes.

 

2.  Space for playground must be provided, otherwise, easy and safe access to the nearest part of open space not more than 200 meters walking distance from school site may be presented as an alternative.

4.  There should be at least one toilet seat for every 25 children at one time, preferably with separate bathroom for boys and girls.

 

5.  Lighting and ventilation should be proper and adequate. There should be natural and electric lighting. For a classroom 7 x 9 meters, there should be at least two fluorescent lamps and one wide window and electric fans to allow cross ventilation.

 

1.2              Elementary School Sites

 

Standard Requirements

 

Size. This size of the site must meet the requirements of the enrollment and kind of schools as well as the recreational needs of the pupils. It shall be wide enough to make adequate provisions for an athletic field playground, lawns, agricultural activities and future building expansions.  The standards requirements of school sites for elementary schools are as follows:

 

a.       One-half hectare (1/2 ha.) for a barrio school which has only one or two classes and no grade above Grade IV.

 

b.      One hectare (1 ha.) for a central school which has six classes or for non-Central School which has from three to four classes.

 

c.       Two hectares (2 has.) for schools which have from seven to nine classes.

 

d.      Three hectares (3 has.) for schools which have from ten to twelve classes.

 

e.       Four hectares (4 has.) for schools which have more than twelve classes.

 

How ever for special cases, where is difficulty in meeting above standards, the following may be allowed:

 

a.         For Rural Areas

One-half hectare (1/2 ha.) for a center school which has six classes. One and One half non- central school which has from three to four classes. One and one half hectare (1 ½ ha.) for


One-half hectare (1/2 ha.) for six to ten classes. Three fourth of a hectare (3/4 ha.) for eleven to twenty classes. One hectare (1 ha.) for twenty one or more classes.

 

Elementary Buildings

Standard Requirements


Adequate. There should be sufficient number of standards classrooms to accommodate the school enrollment, as well as enough internal spaces for other basic curricular and administrative needs of the school. A standard classroom should provide at least 1.2 sq. meters of space per pupil and on that basis the standard dimensions of elementary classrooms have been prescribed.

 

In a complete elementary school, there should be a room of preferably, a separate building for Industrial Arts (shop) classes and other room or separate building for home Economics classes, with a minimum standard area of 2.5 square meters per place, or a total of approximately 100 square meters.

 

Internal space should also be provided for such basic needs as an administrative office, a library (and/or learning resource center), a health clinic (first aid), a guidance and counseling room, toilets, storeroom, launch counter or room etc. At least 2 electrical outlets should be provided infront of each classroom, for the implementation of any feasible educational technology which requires electricity.

 

The minimum standards for instructional and administrative spaces are as follows:

 

1.    classroom (elementary)                              1.40 sq.m. per place

2.    Elementary School Shop                           2.50 sq.m. per place

6.    Guidance Room                                         28. sq.m. per gross

7.    Corridor                                                     Above ground level, the minimum clearance width is 2.0 m. provided that the provisions

of the national Building Code & Fire codes of the Philippines other relevant rules and regulations are observed.

 

1.3              Secondary Schools

 

Size. The size of the school site is largely determined by the level of the education, the size of  the enrollment, the type of curriculum offered and the location of the school, i.e., whether urban or rural. The ground area occupied by school buildings and other structures should not exceed 40% of the school site in order to provide adequate open spaces for assembly and co-curricular activities, as well as to conform with national and local regulations and standards pertaining to setbacks and distances between buildings.

Minimum standards for instructional and administrative spaces: Classroom                                    1.40 sq.m. per place

Science Laboratory                                    2.10 sq.m. per place

Medical/Dental Clinic                         28.00 sq.m. per place

Guidance Room                                  28.00 sq.m. per place

 

Library/Learning Resources Center

Capacity of 10% of the enrollment at 2.40 sq.m. per place, provided that the total area is not less than that of a standard classroom. In schools with more than one shift, the basis for computing the area is the shift with the largest enrollment.

 

Corridors

Not required at ground level if appropriate access to enclosed spaces is provided. Above ground level, the minimum clear width is 2.0 meters provided that the provisions of the National Building and Fire Codes of the Philippines and other relevant rules and regulations are observed.

 

1.4              Colleges and Universities

1.    The area of school site as a general rule will be as follows: 500 or less students           0.50 ha.

501 to 1,000                                        1.00 ha.

1,001 to 2,000                                     2.00 has.

2001 to 3000                                       3.00 has.

 

As a general rule, the same ratio should be maintained for enrollment in excess of 3,000.

 

2.     For larger colleges and universities the campus should be at least 7 hectares on the minimum number of students which is 10,000.

 

3.    There should be space on the campus for holding class programs and sports activities.

 

4.      The shape of a college site is not important as its total site, since landscape architects and college administrators can adapt a campus plan to a variety of shapes with relatively little less in efficient. A rectangular plot of ground with length not more than one and one-half times the width heads itself most readily to the proper location of the various college units.

According to Degree of Hazard and Pollution

This is useful as decision criteria for the municipality in the choice of specific types of industries that conforms to environmental protection.

 

Hazardous Industries. These industries are fire and health hazards, i.e. their wastes have large amounts of combustible and toxic materials. Non-hazardous industries discharge negligible amounts of combustible or toxic wastes.

 

Pollutive Industries. These industries discharge large amounts of air, water, and solid pollutants. Non-pollutive industries on the other hand omit little  negligible amounts of these pollutants.

 

Based on the hazard and pollution potential, industries are classified into:

 

Light Industries                       non-pollutive/non-hazardous non-pollutive/ hazardous

 

Medium Industries                   pollutive/non-hazardous non-pollutive/ hazardous

 

Heavy Industries                     highly pollutive/non-hazardous highly pollutive/ hazardous

highly pollutive/extremely hazardous pollutive/ extremely hazardous

non-pollutive/ extremely hazardous

There shall be minimum of 10-meter buffer zone, along the entire perimeter of each of the clusters or tourism zones, and around the proposed golf course site.

 

1.4.2        Setbacks

 

1.      Along the Beach Front - any development along and adjacent to coastlines must respect the beach’s natural function as an energy dissipation system which provides a dynamic equilibrium and gives protection to the inland against storm surge.

 

Any regulation or change of the natural coastal environment such as construction of piers, groins and breakwaters must be designed on the basis of a comprehensive study.

 

Design and specifications must justify that the construction will have no negative impact on the environment. An EIA must be carried out before construction permit can be issued.

 

A mandatory beachfront easement along all coastal areas shall be defined at 30 meters from the edge of the beach zone inland perpendicular to the coastline.

 

2.      Along the Green Areas -  no structures shall be allowed to be built within 5  meters from the edge of the green areas.

 

3.      Distances between Structures

 

-                    for single storey units – the minimum setback should be 10 meters along walls with openings; and at least 7 meters along wall without opening;

 

-                    for multi-storey units – the minimum setback along walls with openings should not be less than twice the height of the building measured from the ground floor lone, to the apex or tip of the roof; and at least 15 meters along wall without openings.

 

1.5              Landscaping and Protection of Trees


For ease in determining the number of rooms allowed, the concept of GROSS DENSITY may be allowed. This would refer to the total number of the rooms (double rooms) that will be allowed to be built within a given resort zones area.

 

 

The following gross density standards may be use in arriving at the maximum number of rooms allowed in any one resort zone:

 

-                      HIGH DENSITY                   60 to 80 rooms/hectare

-                      MEDIUM DENSITY             30 to 45 rooms/hectare

-                      LOW DENSITY                     10 to 15 rooms/hectare

 

1.7              Parking

Parking should be located within 200-300 meters (maximum of 500 meters) from the tourist facilities.

 

1.8              Maintenance

Proper maintenance of facilities, grounds, beach areas and other zones must be done on a regular basis.

 

2.                  Utilities

 

2.1              Solid Waste Disposal
