Abstract

The City Government of Baguio is proposing a congestion charging system in the Central Business District (CBD) to address the ongoing issue of traffic congestion in the city. Although it is an effective tool, low public acceptability hinders its implementation. This study aims to assess Baguio City residents' acceptability regarding the CBD's congestion charging system. Specifically, it seeks to (1) identify the factors that influence residents’ acceptability of the proposed system, (2) evaluate whether there is a significant difference in acceptability across different road users (private vehicles, public transportation, cycling, and walking), and (3) provide recommendations for transportation policy planning in the CBD of Baguio City. The study employed an exploratory sequential design, using key informant interviews with four government officials and a perception survey involving 107 city residents. Survey results indicate that the proposed scheme is slightly unacceptable. Factors such as lack of information and awareness and perceived ineffectiveness reduce acceptability; however, revenue allocation may contribute to increased acceptance. Moreover, regardless of the mode of transportation, there is no significant difference in the level of acceptability or its influencing factors. Based on the low acceptability of the proposed system, the study recommends several transportation policy measures for the CBD of Baguio City: (1) policy packaging, (2) deployment of a pilot congestion charge, and (3) efforts to build public support through improved information and education campaigns, the establishment of information desks in barangays, and transparency in revenue allocation and management.

Abstract

Urban Green Spaces (UGS) play an important role in providing opportunities for physical activity in urbanized cities. This observational cross-sectional study aims to profile two selected UGS, namely Marikina River Park and Marikina Heights Park Complex, in Marikina City, in the context of their use for physical activity and recreation. Interviews with two government officials were conducted to collect data on the historical background of the selected parks. Systematic observation, using the System for Observation of Play and Recreation in Communities tool, was conducted to observe park visitors and their physical activity for four days in each park. Each park’s target area's characteristics were identified and assessed before the observation period. Findings from the interviews indicate that the selected UGS were established for community and personal development. Each park contained areas suited for general use, rest, and socialization or for specific activities. Observations indicate that most visitors use the UGS for physical activity. A total of 47.91% engaged in moderate activity, 3.74% in vigorous activity, and 48.34% were observed to be sedentary. Various types of activity were recorded, with walking, biking, and dancing being the most common. Walking and biking visitors often used the park as part of their daily route. The majority of park visitors were male (52.55%), while females accounted for 47.45%. Teenagers made up the largest observed age group (49.83%), followed by adults (33.26%), children (13.62%), and older adults (3.30%). These findings indicate that the selected UGS serve their intended purpose, with most visitors engaging in physical activity. Nevertheless, further improvements aimed at specific activities may help attract demographic groups that were less represented. The physical design of the parks and the presence of structured programs could help increase participation among these groups. A built environment and organized activity can be used to encourage physical activity for specific demographics of park visitors.

Abstract

The construction sector in Nigeria relies heavily on imported materials; however, inefficiencies and frequent delays at the seaports have led to increased costs, significantly affecting the sector’s contribution to the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This study examines the relationship between the operational performance of Nigerian seaports and the GDP contribution of the construction sector. Secondary data on GDP and port performance indicators were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), covering the period from 2011 to 2023. The analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics methods, including regression and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). The findings reveal that the key performance indicators such as Cargo Throughput (LnCTHP), Personnel Efficiency (LnP), and Ship Traffic (LnST) significantly and positively influence GDP, with β-values of 0.462, 0.283, and 0.402, respectively (p < 0.05). In contrast, inefficiencies represented by prolonged Turnaround Time (LnTAT) and Waiting Time (LnWT) had negative effects on GDP, with β-values of −0.178 and −0.098, respectively (p < 0.05). Additionally, Gross Registered Tonnage (LnGRT) was found to have a positive influence on GDP (β = 0.213, p = 0.017), highlighting the economic benefit of accommodating larger vessels. The regression model demonstrated strong explanatory power, with an R² of 0.908 and an adjusted R² of 0.882, indicating that the included variables could explain 88.2% of the variance in GDP. These findings are consistent with previous research and highlight the crucial role of port efficiency in driving economic growth. The study recommends focused investments in modern cargo handling technologies, workforce optimization, and infrastructure upgrades to mitigate delays. It also advocates for strategic partnerships with international shipping companies and policy interventions, such as tax incentives for modernization and simplifying customs procedures, to enhance overall efficiency. Future research should further explore the role of port digitalization in facilitating GDP growth. Addressing existing inefficiencies and leveraging operational improvements can support Nigerian seaports in substantially contributing to the construction sector’s GDP, thereby supporting broader sustainable economic development.

Abstract

This case study highlights the value of engaging with communities as real-world environments for practical and reflective learning. It suggests that students can develop insights and acquire knowledge through interactions with diverse groups and locations, even within urban settings. The paper presents the experience of implementing the “Start ‘em Young Advocacy,” a student-led, environment-focused, and project-based initiative within the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) under the National Service Training Program (NSTP) at Silliman University, Philippines. In collaboration with the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), CWTS students worked with thirty daycare centers. Using Kolb’s Experiential Learning Theory as a framework, this study explores student learning outcomes based on their written reflections, applying the “Head, Heart, and Feet” model. The results suggest that involvement in this program contributes to developing knowledge and skills, shifts in attitude and emotion, and forming future plans or initiatives. Overall, this paper presents urban environments as active learning spaces that support student development and provide opportunities to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).

Abstract

Bird window strikes pose a significant threat to avian populations in urban settings. Understanding public attitudes toward this issue is vital for communicating the problem and possible interventions, such as applying window stickers. Bird Window Strike Philippines, a citizen science initiative, has promoted awareness through online engagement and a public pop-up exhibition designed to leave a lasting impression and gather visitor feedback. The exhibition introduced Filipino audiences to bird-window collisions through educational and participatory elements, including interpretive panels, taxidermied bird specimens, and window models demonstrating prevention techniques. Its central message was: “Bird window strikes are a problem, and we can be part of the solution.” The taxidermied birds were included to foster emotional connection. Visitors participated by voting on preferred preventive measures and answering questions about what would encourage them to adopt these interventions. Comment cards captured their reflections and takeaways. Results showed a clear preference for window stickers and mesh and a desire for affordable and accessible options. Notably, emotional engagement was evident among participants, reflecting the exhibition’s capacity to foster empathy and deeper reflection. Open-ended responses highlighted key themes: human agency in mitigating collisions, the conservation significance of window strikes, the role of citizen science and public awareness, and the underestimated frequency of such events. The exhibition served to raise awareness of this often-overlooked conservation issue. The study supports public exhibitions as effective tools for fostering dialogue and building biodiversity-inclusive urban environments.

Abstract

The ongoing digital transformation of the construction industry, known as Construction 4.0, requires students in built-environment programs to gain adequate exposure to emerging technologies. Despite this need, many faces significant barriers to meaningful engagement. This study explores the factors limiting students’ learning experiences related to Construction 4.0 in Nigerian universities and polytechnics. Using a stratified random sampling method, 154 students from one university and one polytechnic were surveyed through a structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using frequency distribution, relative importance index, and the Mann-Whitney test. Results identify key obstacles such as limited peer collaboration, insufficient funding and resources, and weak infrastructure. There were no statistically significant differences in these barriers between university and polytechnic respondents. The study concludes that addressing the current limitations requires institutional reforms, including infrastructure investment, curriculum development, faculty training, and support for student collaboration, particularly in polytechnic settings.

Abstract

The increase in population and motorized vehicles in Bengkalis City has led to greater demand for public transportation, which remains insufficient in meeting accessibility needs. This study aims to develop a model for planning public transportation routes using Geographic Information System (GIS) tools to improve accessibility in Bengkalis City. The study employs primary data from field surveys and secondary data from relevant agencies. GIS-based spatial analysis methods, such as service area analysis and the Origin-Destination (OD) matrix, are applied to evaluate accessibility and passenger movement patterns. The analysis results in two route alternatives assessed based on stop point density, community accessibility, and passenger distribution. The first alternative is identified as more effective in serving population centers and minimizing service gaps. The findings provide a spatially grounded approach to transportation planning and may support local efforts to improve public transport coverage.

Abstract

This study explores a Permaculture design approach to promote water conservation and reduce water dependency, particularly in response to plastic pollution. Permaculture emphasizes water ethics, conservation principles, rainwater harvesting (via tanks, soil, land, and biomass), greywater reuse, and biological remediation techniques for water recycling and purification. The study applies a contextually adapted environmental pedagogy based on Permaculture for primary school students in North Sumatra, Indonesia, focusing on sustainable water conservation and plastic litter risk reduction. A case study method was employed, targeting schools that voluntarily participated. The approach highlights three commonly overlooked dimensions in environmental education: community connection, place-based authenticity, and experience-based learning. Engaging young learners in local environmental monitoring, management, and communication aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 14 (Life Below Water). Thematic analysis revealed five key outcomes related to eco-pedagogy and place-based learning: (1) developing critical thinking through connections between past and present marine conditions; (2) identifying the stages of plastic degradation; (3) fostering respect for aquatic life and awareness of plastic waste impacts; (4) understanding local waterway issues from ditches to rivers and cultivating environmental responsibility; and (5) recognizing socio-environmental linkages through reflective activities such as letter-writing to local authorities. Findings emphasize the value of involving young participants in environmental initiatives, particularly those addressing plastic pollution and sustainable resource management. The study also proposes practical pedagogical strategies rooted in Permaculture principles for students, families, schools, and local communities.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed deep inequalities in food access, particularly in urban informal settlements. This study examines the effectiveness of the “Tanimang Bayan” initiative, an urban agriculture project implemented in Sitio San Roque, Quezon City, as a form of agricultural extension during the pandemic. The research adopts a qualitative approach, drawing on data from key informant interviews, participant observation, and secondary sources. Findings indicate that the initiative provided a localized response to food insecurity by enhancing access to fresh produce and promoting community-led production. It also supported collective action and self-organization among residents, strengthening their autonomy in navigating structural limitations. These outcomes suggest that community-based agricultural interventions can contribute meaningfully to resilience-building and local food systems in marginalized urban contexts.

Abstract

The built environment plays a crucial role in global sustainability efforts. Buildings, infrastructure, and cities consume large amounts of energy and materials that shape social behavior, and lock in environmental impacts. Over the past two decades, research has produced a wide range of technical solutions to reduce these impacts. Renewable energy systems, energy-efficient buildings, alternative construction materials, and new construction methods are no longer experimental concepts. Many have proven technical and economic potential. Yet, real-world transformation remains slow and uneven. This gap suggests that sustainability challenges in the built environment are no longer driven by a lack of technology. Instead, they are shaped by how technologies are adopted, governed, financed, and embedded within existing systems. The papers in this issue tried to understand this challenge from different scales and contexts. Together, they show that sustainability is best understood as a socio-technical transition, where technical solutions must align with institutions, markets, spatial structures, and human practices.
