INTRODUCTION
The protection and proper management of the coastal ecosystem is not just
a government concern, it is also involve the private sector and the community. The
involvement of this group must be active to prevent the continued exploitation and
over usage of the coastal ecosystem. As such realization, they were encourage to
think of an alternative ways to develop the coastline by not harming this
ecosystems. That there shall be a center to administer the coastal ecosystem that
will conduct the research works and trainings for the community in order to
enhance it for economic necessity and for the protection of the community near
the coastline.
The condition of coastal ecosystem in the municipality of Sorsogon is being
monitored by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) that
there is a need to control the overuse and exploitation of the ecosystem for the
benefit of the town. Under the DENR is the Ecosystem Research Development
Bureau (ERDB) that absorbs the functions of the Forest Research Institute and the
research functions of the National Mangrove Committee, which is responsible for
all the technical researches of the DENR.
With this problems, the
researchers took the advantage to
propose the Buhatan Eco-Park with
complete facilities and amenities
needed by its tourists, staffs, officers
and researchers.

1.2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The Mangrove area in Brgy, Buhatan was given attention by the late Miss
Gina Lopez, an environmental advocate that cares a lot to the environment. Gina
Lopez had encouraged the residence for a community based tourism. With the
unity, they are now having a clean and clear river and healthy mangrove areas,
making it a good tourist spot. A good tourist destination needs a good
development. The Mangrove area in Buhatan is a well good tourist attraction in
Sorsogon. The Proposed Buhatan Mangrove Eco-Park intends to develop the said
tourist spot and make it to its full potential. This will give the users different variety
of experiences during their stay on the site and will receive a positive feedback
from them because this project proposal will ensure the tourist or visitor’s safety
and enjoyment when they are inside. Specifically, this study and proposal pursue
to find the answers to the following problems:
1. What is the present status of Brgy. Buhatan in terms of tourism with regards to
calamity safety and awareness to the importance of mangroves?
2. What will be the facilities and amenities for the proposed project?
3. What are the laws and ordinances, sustainable methods and design standards
to be considered for the construction of the proposed project?
The Visitors/ Tourists. The proposed project will contribute a lot to the Visitors
because this proposed project is not just a normal park and tourist spot, but also a
place where they can learn on how to take good care and appreciate every simple
thing about the environment. They will leave the place with lots of learning and
they can adapt those learning to their everyday lives.
The Government. This project proposal will help the government in terms of
economic growth and this will help Sorsogon City to become more beautiful and
green.
To Community. The purpose of this proposed project is to show and know the
worth of mangroves to be appreciated. With this, it can help the community not just
by protecting the land from disasters caused by water and wind, but it can also
help in giving job opportunities to the Sorsoganos for it is a community based
tourism.
Brgy. Buhatan. The project will be beneficial for the barangay for it will be known
throughout the region and hoping to the nation as well.
To Future Researchers. The data and information that were gathered and derived
from this study may serve as a guide and reference for future researchers.
To Architecture. The design that will be applied to the proposed project will
introduce and showcase new techniques that will give an idea for those who can
see and witness it.
This study’s main goal is to design an Eco Park wherein once they enter the
place, they will be able to know already the purpose of why does this project was
proposed and built, and while they are on their walkway, they will be able to learn
everything about mangroves and ecosystems. This will improve the knowledge
about ecosystems.
The following are the objectives:
1. To know the present status of Brgy. Buhatan in terms of tourism with regards to
calamity safety and awareness to the importance of mangroves.
3. To know and the laws and ordinances, sustainable methods, and design
standards, to be considered for the construction of the proposed project?
1.5 SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
The result of this study will provide site data, such as size, location,
technical description, vegetation, land use and other useful information of the
development of the Proposed Project. This study also includes related works and
literature, standard principles and guidelines useful in designing the structure and
applicable laws to meet the best design solution for the proposed project.
The research development study of the Center will cover the entire
Sorsogon province. Therefore, the proponents shall gather data regarding the
coastal resources present in the province.
The study will focus more on the architectural design. The proponent will
focus in site planning interrelationship of spaces and conceptualization of the
structures and area development. Other matters such as marketing plan, financial
viability, structural analysis and electrical computation, mechanical and electrical
layout are outside the boundary of this study.
Coastal Ecosystem- Includes estuaries and coastal waters and lands located at
the lower end of drainage basins, where stream and river systems meet the sea
and are mixed by tides. The coastal ecosystem includes saline, brackish and fresh
waters, as well as coastlines and the adjacent lands.
Estuary- A more or less funnel shaped river mouth, affected by tidal circulation.
Brackish Water- Brackish water is water having more salinity than freshwater, but
not as much as seawater. It may result from mixing seawater with fresh water
together, as in estuaries, or it may occur in brackish fossil aquifers.
Building- Public or private buildings and other related structures for public use.
Those design to accommodate and serve persons in the pursuit of educational,
recreational, religious, occupational, medical, political, social activities of similar
nature.
Stabilizing- to cause something to become fixed and stop changing, esp .in order
to keep it from becoming worse, or to become fixed and stop changing.
Buhatan Mangrove Eco-Park- Is a park with a 3.5 kilometer river bounded with
different species of mangroves and marine life that is located in Brgy. Buhatan
