SALDIVAR-SALI Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 24, 2004 in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT This research formulates a LANDSLIDE RISK RATING SYSTEM for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning process when used by engineers and planners and used to address risks posed by landslides given the rapidly increasing concentration of population and the development of infrastructure and industry in the Baguio area. Reports and studies of individual landslides in the area are reviewed in order to discover the causal factors of mass movements and their interactions. The findings of these research works are discussed in the first portion of this paper.

  • Remote Sensing Application of the Geophysical Changes in the Coastlines and Rivers of Pangasinan, Philippines
    REMOTE SENSING APPLICATION OF THE GEOPHYSICAL CHANGES IN THE COASTLINES AND RIVERS OF PANGASINAN, PHILIPPINES Annie Melinda Paz-Alberto, Marietta A. Pakaigue, Edmark P. Bulaong, Melissa Joy M. Sison, Ranilo B. Lao Institute for Climate Change and Environmental Management, Central Luzon State University, Science City of Muñoz, Nueva Ecija, 3120 Philippines Email: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] KEY WORDS: Accretion, Erosion, Fish pens/cages ABSTRACT The study aimed to determine the geophysical changes of the river outlets, riverbanks and coastlines in Bued- Angalacan and Alaminos, Pangasinan. Quantitative measurement and analysis were used in the detection of changes. Image analysis using remote sensing from the Satellite imageries of the Google Earth from years 2004 to 2014 were used. The actual measurements of the width and length of river outlets, riverbanks and coastlines of the said rivers were gathered by the use of South Total Station (NTS-362R6L) in September 2015. The insight of the residents regarding the feature changes of the river was obtained through one on one interview. Root Mean Square Errors (RMSE) were also computed for horizontal positioning and measurement to determine the accuracy of Google Earth Satellite Imageries. Results revealed that Bued-Angalacan and Alaminos river outlets decreased in width size due to natural factors and human activities. There was increased in size of the Bued-Angalacan and Alaminos riverbanks which could be possibly due to natural calamities and weak bank resistance brought about by the frequent flooding caused by heavy rains and the emergency released of water from San Roque Dam.

Habana The mining and trade of gold were among the most vital economic activities of the Ibaloy and Kankanay Igorots of Benguet province. Early Spanish chroniclers recorded a flourishing inter-Cordillera and lowland trade based on Igorot gold and Ilocano cloth and livestock. However, the inaccessibility of the region and the spirited resistance of the Igorots made the gold mines an elusive target. Throughout the Spanish period, numerous attempts were made to locate and exploit the Igorot gold mines but none of these succeeded. Benguet Igorot society was thus basically left to develop on its own. One of the most important consequences of this was the development of a native elite, the baknang, whose wealth and prestige were largely based on the ownership and control of the gold mines.
