Map with Description Figure 1.Map of Calabarzon Region (Area in pink border) Source: Google Maps II. Project Summary The project is entitled “Urban and Suburban Land Distribution, Population Density and its Contribution to Problems in the CALABARZON”. This study aims to provide an analysis of the urban populations in CALABARZON and some consequences which are brought about by overpopulation and excess land conversion. Overpopulation in a city can bring many unwanted side problems. These problems include: increase in needed space, increase in garbage amounts, increase in unemployment rate and many more. Conversion of agricultural to commercial land is a consequence of overpopulation in cities. This study can help the people realize what is happening to the provinces of CALABARZON. This study can also be applied to other areas not only in the Philippines but also other overpopulated regions of the world. III. Objectives This study aims to: 1. provide rational solutions to problems brought by overpopulation and excessive land conversion, and My Community, Our Earth Geographic Learning for Sustainable Development Philippine Science High School Southern Mindanao Campus 2. give an idea of what is happening to overpopulated areas of CALABARZON. IV. Project Methods For this study, internet sources were used to obtain the needed data. Parameters on the validity of the source were also established. Sources used included journals that were published on the internet. Internet books and published census of government agencies were also used. The proponents of the study did interpretation of the data. V. Findings and Results The CALABARZON region is composed of five (5) provinces: Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon. These provinces make up a total land area of 16,560 square kilometers. This region is the second most densely populated region in the Philippines, second to Metro Manila (National Nutrition Council,2012) Based on the 2012 Census conducted by the NSO, the projected population of the CALABARZON region in 2012 is 12,400,220 people. Based on the collected figures, the calculated population density of the CALABARZON region was found to be approximately 749 people per square kilometer. As the population increases, more lands are being converted from agricultural lands into urban lands to accommodate the needs of shelter (housing, infrastructure, buildings and etc.) of the people. During the past years, land conversion in the CALABARZON has been increasing yearly in average. VI. Proposed Actions Based on the findings and results of this study, one can infer that the CALABARZON region of the Philippines has a high population density. With these findings, it is advised that the people in this region should be informed of family planning and the consequences of over population. There should also be campaigns for population control through family contraception. Families would be advised to undergo proper family planning and should practice responsible parenthood. Responsible parenthood is defined to be the practice of maintaining a lifestyle which can give benefit for the offspring. This entails proper financial management and the use of different contraception methods to achieve conception of a limited number of offspring. Another advised solution to these population problems is that there should be proper seminars on the use of contraceptives. This educates the people on topics about contraceptives, how to use them and what pros and cons they will probably encounter with such use. My Community, Our Earth Geographic Learning for Sustainable Development Philippine Science High School Southern Mindanao Campus VII. Impacts of your Study This study will help in the maintenance of the population in highly populated areas not only in the Philippines but also in the world. It also provides logical and rational solutions to a problem that is global in scope. VIII. References Cardenas, D. (N.D).

    Mapping the Eco-Social Construct of Santa Rosa An Emerging City in a Watershed of Opportunities for Development Nathaniel C. Bantayan1 Leah P. Dela Rosa2 Sylvia D. Clemente 2 Maria Magdalene P. Guevarra1 Kyle Pierre R. Israel1 1 Institute of Renewable Natural Resources, College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines - Los Baños 2 College of Architecture University of Santo Tomas Abstract The years 1946 to 2020 saw the gradual dwindling of Santa Rosa City, Laguna’s agricultural land, from 96% to 15.4%. Meanwhile, the city’s urbanization catapulted to 84.5% by 2013 from just below 4% in 1946. Under the regional development plan of the Aquino Administration designating Region IV-A, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon (CALABARZON) as the industrial hub of the country, and driven by the increased access with the construction of the expressway in the 1980s, Santa Rosa City’s manufacturing industry rose from 746 in 1980 to 5,201 in 2013, a near 700% increase. Today, Santa Rosa City is at the heart of BANTAYAN, ET AL.: MAPPING THE ECO-SOCIAL UNITAS 326 the urbanization and industrialization, topping Metro Manila’s economic growth. The highest population density is concentrated at the shore areas of Laguna Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines. From an environmental perspective, this is an economic bubble waiting to burst, but the effect to the city’s environmental sustainability is dire: water abstrac- tion at its highest may lead to land subsidence, not to mention water scar- city, which the environmental effects lead to the increased pollution of its catchments, waterways, and the shoreline, and continuous land conversion particularly for housing are imperiling its array of ecosystem services.

  • Effects of Hospitality Development to the Community of Sta. Rosa, Laguna: Inputs to Sustainable Tourism Development Plan Clarice Leigh C
    LPU-Laguna Journal of International Tourism and Hospitality Management Vol. 4 No. 2 October 2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Effects of Hospitality Development to the Community of Sta. Rosa, Laguna: Inputs to Sustainable Tourism Development Plan Clarice Leigh C. Dela Cruz, Liezel Joy A. Andal, King Joshua R. Antiporda, Christian C. Aguado [email protected] Lyceum of the Philippines – Laguna ABSTRACT This study is an interdisciplinary research since it is a combination of the expertise of International Hospitality Management and Tourism Management programs assessing the effects of hospitality development to the community of Sta. Rosa, Laguna in order to propose inputs for a tourism sustainable plan. Indeed, the study is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. Survey questionnaires were utilized to know the effects of hospitality development to the host community. Then, to further intensify the result, key informant interview technique was used to know the strategies of the local government. The study revealed that in terms of the positive side, the environmental effect brought by hospitality development was significantly noticed by residents because of various programs launched by the city government in connection with ecological care. On the other hand, the residents felt the economic negative effect because of factors that they have experienced with relation to expenses. The study also showed that in terms of positive effects, the perception of the respondents has to do with their age, occupation, and length of residency. In terms of negative effects, however, demographic factors like occupation and length of residency affect their views. The local government of Santa Rosa developed different programs that helps maximize the positive effects of hospitality development as well as programs that can mitigate negative effects.
