The city has 8,407 business establishments of which 1,182 were recently established.Every year, there is an estimated 11% of increase in the number of business establishments in the city. More business means more investors and consumers. The business transactions demand ample space for amenities such as parking facilities.The Downtown Central Business District (CBD) of Iloilo City is the proof of the economic activities of the city for the past decades. It is the main destination of people coming from Metro Iloilo-Guimaras region. Recently, it was declared as the Iloilo’s Heritage Site inclusive of 26 buildings at least 75 years old. This heritage area is surrounded by a plaza, a university, a public market, private high schools, banks, restaurants, and retail businesses. This research is mainly focused on the design for a comprehensive parking facility for on-street and off-street parking for the local heritage zone of Iloilo City.

  • Modeling Iloilo River Water Quality
    Modeling Iloilo River Water Quality Michelle B. Besana Division of Physical Sciences and Mathematics University of the Philippines Visayas Philip Ian P. Padilla Division of Biological Sciences University of the Philippines Visayas The analysis of covariance model (ANCOVA) with heterogeneous variance first-order autoregressive error covariance structure (ARH1) was used to model the differences in fecal streptococci concentration in Iloilo River over time with fixed site and seasonal effects as primary factors of interest, and water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and salinity as covariates. The restricted maximum likelihood estimation (REML) procedure was used to derive the parameter estimates and the Kenward-Roger adjustment in the degrees of freedom was used to better approximate the distributions of the test statistics. The effect of season was highly significant (p = 0.0019). The site effect was significant at the 0.0539 level. The effects of water surface temperature and pH were significant at the 0.0655 and 0.0828 level, respectively. The effects of dissolved oxygen and salinity were not significant. Although the coefficient of determination was modest, the result of the study is useful in characterizing the dynamics of Iloilo River bacteriological system which contributes to an improved understanding of the Iloilo River water quality. Keywords: analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), heterogeneous variance first-order autoregressive error covariance structure (ARH1), restricted maximum likelihood estimation (REML), fecal indicator bacteria (FIB), fecal streptococcus 1.

    2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages 3 City Planning and Development Office i 2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages Message from the Mayor Our beloved Iloilo City has progressively built on its glorious past to usher in a present, which is a source of pride and hope for our people, and an inspiring benchmark for our neighbors in Western Visayas, and beyond. Yet we are not a people who rest on our laurels. We aim higher. We move further. We scale greater heights. We level up. To level up Iloilo City, we begin with the end in mind. We need to envision a future where our city is livable, sustainable and resilient. We aim for a culturally vibrant and economically well-developed city where governance is a shared responsibility and where people are innovative and creative. We dream big, yet we stay realistic. We know that our collective journey as Ilonggos towards our envisioned future has to factor in developments in our external environment. Prudence likewise dictates that our resolve to level-up needs to consider our strengths and weaknesses as a local government unit and as a community. We need to assess our competencies and our resources, particularly our land and its current and future uses, so we are well-informed in determining the best development strategy to level up Iloilo City. I am, therefore, most pleased that we have already crafted the 2021-2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which is a product of a series of consultations with various sectors.

To mitigate UHI, recent studies investigated the cooling effect of water bodies due to its higher rate of evapotranspiration compared to green spaces. This study aims to spatiotemporally assess the Urban Cooling Island (UCI) effect of Iloilo River and adjacent wetlands on the surrounding microclimate using geospatial techniques. Landsat images were processed to generate land surface temperature (LST) and land cover layers of the study area for the years 1994, 1998, 2003, 2005, 2013, 2016, and 2019. UCI Scale (influence range of the cooling effect), Temperature Difference (difference in temperature between water space and the area within the UCI scale), and UCI Intensity (temperature gradient within the UCI scale) were calculated using multiple-ring buffers with 50-m interval to quantify variations in cooling effect of the water space at distinct surrounding regions over a long time period.
