METHODOLOGY
This chapter provides the research design and statistical treatment used in this
study, this identifies the respondents and the sampling validation techniques for the
Research locale
The chosen research locale was Poblacion I and II due to the recommendation of
the Municipal government of Santa Maria Laguna (2017) that the residents of the
selected locale are vulnerable to earthquake and flooding hazard. The hazard maps came
from Mines and Geoscience Bureau (2015). Hence, the respondents was also the
residents of the research locale especially within the vicinity of the school because the
Department of Education (2008) on Disaster Risk reduction Manual stated that on the
safety of the students, the localities of the school even the outside environment, should be
resilient to ensure safety. The Comprehensive Land Use (2012) stated that Poblacion I
and II has too much concentrated population and services wherein most of the houses had
clustering which poses danger on the safety of the residents and hindrance for the rescue
Research design
The study used quantitative approach of research in gathering necessary data. This
research utilized the descriptive survey method. It employed to gather information about
the present existing condition of the study. Data will be gathered through validated self-
wherein they were asked to check 4 if they strongly agree, 3 if they agree, 2 if they
disagree, and 1 if they strongly disagree on each statement. Followed by the developed
house safe is my house flyer.The following respondents were asked to use the
infrastructure audit guide. Then, the statements on level of acceptability of the checklist
guide in terms of graphics and appearance, contents and ease of use on infrastructure of
the selected residents of Poblacion I and II of Santa Maria Laguna and the selected
validators of the infrastructure audit guide where they were asked to scale there
result. The selected validators were three (3) Filipino teachers, three (3) Computer and
graphic designers, and three (3) Civil engineers were asked to evaluate the acceptability
This research will use purposive sampling technique for the researchers rely on

The forty (40) respondents were chosen purposively. All of the respondents were
chosen because being residents of the selected research locale. The municipal
government of Santa Maria Laguna (2017) also recommended conducting the research on
the selected residents of Poblacion I and II that was within the vicinity of the school of
Santa Maria Academy and the given Poblacion is vulnerable to earthquake and flooding
hazards which poses danger on the public safety and on the infrastructures. The selected

researchers first provided an approval letter about conducting the research at Poblacion I

the study was done. The questionnaires were validated, for them to measure the level of
awareness on infrastructure audit and the acceptability of the infrastructure audit guide.
The questionnaires were collected and started to gather all the data they needed. All data
gathered were tallied and analyzed using the appropriate statistical tools.
Statistical treatment
To determine the level of awareness and acceptability, data gathered were
For interpretation of the computed general weighted mean, the following range interval
was used.
