Based on the Major and Minor Likert Scale, it clearly shows that Site B is more suitable than Site A and Site C.
BPSU Architecture Department | Proposed Mall Complex | 2021
Site Justification
Based on the criteria conducted by the researcher, Tuyo, Balanga got the highest percentage with 62% in the major
criteria and 24% in minor criteria – a total of 84%, considering the project requirement compared to Mabatang, Abucay
which garnered 78% and Mt. View, Mariveles with 72%.

Abucay, Bataan doesn’t fit to the project due to strategic location and security. One of the significant characteristics
also doesn’t meet which is the population density, due to it there is a greater chance that the project will be isolate.
Furthermore Mariviles, Bataan is also not suitable for the proposed project due to location and zoning, lot size, strategic
location and climate. The area is also situated where the rainfall occur frequently.

The selected site, Tuyo, Balanga is located in the City of the Province that is suitable for the project which can
stimulate the economy. It has a direct access on main road and can be easily seen by the public. The site is also situated in
a rurban area with a fast growing environment but not overcrowded. Since the site is located in the City, greater
opportunities may come. It is also near from Bataan Bus Terminal wherein 4 kilometers or 6 minutes away from it, 39.2
kilometers from Mariveles and 66.3 kilometers from Dinalupihan. Additionally, the selected site has one of the largest
number of population in the province, along the nearby municipalities it can meet the demand needed by the local
population.

Topography and Bathymetry

Slope is very essential in planning and management of the City. According to studies (PEMSEA and
MBEMP-MBIN, 2007; Municipality of Balanga¸ 2000), slope gradient affects the following (1) the degree and
severity of erosion, which is directly proportional and highly correlated to slope gradient (2) nutrient loss or loss
of productivity of the land or soil, (3) loss of fertility and biological deterioration of soil, and (4) the suitability
of irrigation system and type of agriculture crops to be grown. With the heaviness of rainfall, and degree and
kind of land cover, rain-induced landslides occur in areas that are steep.

The City of Balanga has four (4) slope classifications as shown. While 55% of the City is under the 0-3%
slope, which is level to nearly level, the other 45% needs to be protected as erosion has been observed over the
years (Barangay consultations). This is due to the lack of appropriate cover or plants that cover the soil
especially in Cabog-cabog, Tanato and Dangcol.

Bataan Integrated Coastal Land

and Sea Use Zoning Plan

The province developed the Bataan Coastal

Land and Sea Use Zoning Plan (CLSUZP), which
serves as a spatial planning tool to resolve issues
and multiple use conflicts in the coastal and
marine areas of the province. It also served as the
‘mother plan’ that provided guidance for the
municipal LGUs in developing their respective
zoning plans.

Soil Texture

Soil texture refers to the differential ratio and proportion of individual particle sizes such as
sand, silt and clay of the solid phase of the soil. It is an important aspect of land quality and is
important in determining the proper utilization of the land, whether for agriculture or non-
agriculture uses. Soil texture influences external and internal factors with regards to drainage.
Clayey and fine textured soils have poor drainage while coarse and medium textured soils have
relatively faster drainage.

Geology and Mineral Resource
Relevant geological information is important in land-use management. For instance, if there are mineral resources in the
area which can be exploited or mined, understanding the geological processes is essential in order to ensure that adverse
impact to the natural environment is prevented or mitigated.

Two general structures underlie the City of Balanga: igneous and sedimentary rocks. The igneous rocks are more
extensive than the sedimentary rocks. Igneous formation can be found in the western portion of the town. This portion is
under quaternary recent which is further classified into two, namely: pyroclastic volcanic and quaternary volcanic. The first
classification is a deposit of pyroclastics and/or volcanic debris like volcanic sand, ashes cinders, bombs boulders and others,
originated from the explosion of volcanic vents and accumulated along foot slopes. The latter are the severely dissected
dormant volcanoes or non-active cones, generally lava flows of andesine, basalt, dacite, generally with pyroclastics.

Sedimentary rocks of various ages occur mostly on the east of Roman Super Highway, town proper and along the coastal
area. This type of fluviatile alluvium (recent alluvial deposit) is composed of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles
and boulders derived from weathering and erosion of pre-existing rocks deposited along floodplains, streambeds and banks,
valley floors including coastal plains.

Hydrology
There are two sources of water supply in the City, namely: rivers or surface water and from the ground or
groundwater.

Rivers
The river system found in the City composed of major and secondary rivers, creeks and stream that empty into
the Manila Bay. The major one is Talisay River, which headwaters starts from the southwest of the mountain range
down to Manila Bay in the south of Tortugas. Talisay River runs in between the City and the adjacent Municipality
of Pilar. The secondary rivers are Pangulisan, Abo-abo, Mataan, Ibayo, Tiawer and Tuyo. Water from the rivers
provide water supply to irrigation and fishponds. Some streams or springs provide water supply for domestic use.
The river system serves as a drainage system for the City.

Groundwater
Availability
Groundwater is very important in the City in terms of supply to domestic, commercial and
industrial areas. Its availability depends on the hydrogeological conditions of the area, namely:
quaternary formation area (shallow and deep-well area); tertiary formation area (deepwell area)
and other areas (difficult areas for water exploitation). Box 1 describes these categories. The
first two categories have potential for water development. The City is characterized by shallow
and deep well area, and difficult area. The Groundwater Availability Map shows the areas under
these categories.

Landslide Susceptibility
A landslide is a natural phenomenon that involves the movement of mass of rock, debris or earth down a slope under a
direct influence of gravity. It can be initiated by rainfall, earthquake, volcanic activity, excessive extraction of
groundwater, mining, disturbance and change of slope due to human activities or any combination of these factors.
Landslides have adverse impacts to life and properties.

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau -Regional Office 3 (MGB, unpublished) conducted a rapid geohazard assessment
in 2009 to assess the vulnerability of the 25 barangays to flooding and landslides. Based on the rating parameters
presented in Box 2, the barangays were rated with low, moderate or high. There are four barangays (Cabog-cabog,
Tanato, Dangcol and Munting Batangas) that have potential for landslides occurrences. The barangay proper areas
have low susceptibility while the road cuts and generally high and mountainous areas have moderate to high
susceptibility. The upper area of Tuyo was also identified to be moderate to high susceptible (PEMSEA and MBIN,
2007).

The Liquefaction and Rain-induced Landslide Map shows the specific areas in the City which are prone to landslides.

Site Data
MACRO SITE ANALYSIS

Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a process where loose, sandy and water saturated soil lose their capacity to bear any
weight or load due to strong ground shaking, like earthquakes. Under this condition, both the sediments
and water flow-up to the surface forming conical features called sand blows or boils. Areas along rivers,
deltas and coastal areas are susceptible to liquefaction. Liquefaction damages may include extensive
tension cracks, ground undulation or upheavals, and undifferentiated subsidence of buildings.
In the City, the coastal barangays are susceptible to this phenomenon. Development in the areas, including
settlement should be controlled.

The Liquefaction and Rain-induced Landslide Map shows the areas that are likely to be affected by
liquefaction.

Flood Prone Areas

Flooding is the most frequently occurring hazard in the City. The assessment of Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB, 2009)
rated the barangays with low, moderate or high susceptibility based on the rating parameters presented in Box. 3- The results
of the assessment were as follows:

1. Nine barangays with low susceptibility in most areas are Cabog-Cabog, Tanato, Dangcol, Munting Batangas, Camacho,
Bagong Silang, Talisay, Tenejero and Ibayo.
2. Nine Barangays with low susceptibility in most areas but with portion that are generally low-lying and near to
agricultural areas or major rivers or creeks that have moderate to high susceptibility. These are Tuyo, Bagumbayan, Dona
Francisca, Cupang West, Cupang Proper, Central, Poblacion and San Jose.
3. Barangay Cupang North has a low to moderate due to its proximity to the confluence of the rivers.
4. Five barangays are rated with moderate to high susceptibility to flooding (Tortugas, Puerto Rivas Ibaba, Puerto Rivas
Itaas, Puerto Rivas Lote, Sibacan and Malabia. They are affected with flooding from the release of excess water from the
dam located in Pilar, overflow from the rivers, tide changes and structurally controlled areas such as elevated/upgraded
roads.
5. Cataning has different flood levels and susceptibility and is controlled by its topography.

Sea Level Rise

Accelerated sea level rise is an effect of the changing climate of the world. The Philippines, being
an archipelago, is not spared from this hazard. Bataan is one of the provinces prone to sea-level rise.
Predictions made for Manila Bay in 50 years include one-meter, twometers and seven-meters.
Barangays Tuyo and part of Sibacan are likely to be affected by onemeter rise, and Barangays
Tortugas, Pto. Rivas Ibaba and parts of Pto. Rivas Itaas and Pto. Rivas Lote are susceptible to two-
