    Caminos, Ann Marie P.; Deveza, Ma. Catalina G. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-03)
    There had been a lot of studies conducted about the Gawad Kalinga (GK) adult residents. This descriptive study will venture on the schooled adolescents (13-19 yrs. old) in the two (2) GK sites, the Sooc, Manduriao Village and the Buntatala, Jaro Village, specifically about their General Self-Efficacy(GSE), Task-orientation and Functional Social Contacts (FSC). General Self-efficacy Test by Schwarzer (2009) and FGD questionnaires are the materials used in this study. There were 47 schooled adolescents. Each GK site was divided into 2 groups (highest and lowest GSE) with 5 participants for each FGD session. It is found that GK program helped the respondents in terms of their adaptation in their new environment. However, the program does not affect their task-orientation because it is mainly influenced by their families. The program does not also serve as a direct functional social contact because of the type of social network they seek in times of problem.

    The politics of water conflict: Conflict resolution mechanisms of Barangay water and sanitation associations (BWSAs) in Santa Barbara, Iloilo
    Calves, John Mark C.; Labastida, Sean Clark Luinor A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2017-06)
    In an era of scarcity and volatile seasonality, water conflict is a pressing challenge. Among numerous Barangay Water and Sanitation Associations (BWSAs), which are unregulated community-based organizations providing domestic water, conflict resolution mechanisms are key components of how they govern. This research describes the water conflicts experienced, the conflict resolution and proactive mechanisms used in four rural communities. It explores the relationship of water system level with the types of conflicts and conflict management, and members’ attributes and their tendency to complain. It also probes the conflict resolution’s effect on member dynamics, BWSA rules and prevention of future conflicts. Four- BWSAs, two each for Levels I and III water system, were purposively selected in Santa Barbara, Iloilo. Three methods were used: organizational document analysis, key informant interviews with barangay captains and focus-group discussions with 9- 10 members, in which male-female ratio is equal in most cases. The results show that water conflicts are more evident in Level III than in Level I water system, with water scarcity as a common problem. Conflicts are settled informally (e.g. community dialogues) in Level I while formally (e.g. barangay assembly, council sessions) in Level III. Overall, the respondents reported satisfaction on the effects of conflict management.

    Cabral, Janielle Ann; Lilia, Jun Alden P. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03-28)
    This study was conducted to determine the perception of Ilonggos on the use of Hiligaynon on FM radio. The results are aimed at helping program managers to understand both the advantages and disadvantages of using Hiligaynon as medium of communication on FM radio. Purposive sampling is used to select 89 respondents, coming from any of the six districts in Iloilo city. A self-administered questionnaire is designed to gather data from the respondents aged 16 to 70. In this study, most of the respondents are female and most have achieved college education. The research findings indicate that almost all of the respondents’ prefer to listen to Love radio than any other FM stations in Iloilo city. Almost all of the respondents are native Hiligaynon speakers. Most of the respondents have been listening to radio everyday for more than three years. Entertainment is their major reason for listening to FM radio. Hiligaynon is also the main and often used language of the stations they listen to. Despite their low knowledge on the existence of an FM station that uses English as its medium of communication, the respondents say they will still listen if English would be the main language of FM radio. The common reason for liking the Hiligaynon as medium of communication on radio is simply because it is their native language, it is easy for them to understand the messages and it is more entertaining to them. The researchers find a need to study more about how Hiligaynon as medium of communication on FM radio is used in terms of its content, and how the talents communicate using the local language. Future research should focus more on the psychographic background of the respondents. Also, similar studies should be conducted to determine if there are any positive or negative effects or influences on the use of Hiligaynon on FM radio.

    Urbanization and other factors affecting crime: An empirical analysis for the Philippines (1980-2012)
    Cabangal, Jaifreed; Año, Joselito Z., Jr. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2015-06)
    The world regards crime as a function dependent on the performance of law enforcement. International statistics focuses on the quality and quantity of law enforcement to prevent or lessen crime. Earlier studies on the economics of crime also focus on prevention of recidivism through the use of penalties and sentences. Recently, studies on identifying the relationship of macroeconomic data and crime are becoming popular. In the Pliilippines, academics and public officials acknowledge the effect of macroeconomic factors such as urbanization, poverty, inflation, national income, and unemployment to criminal activities in the country. This study focuses on the identification of the aforementioned factors that have significant long run relationship with crime. Moreover, the study also took into account police visibility as a factor to be tested because it is stated in one of the older studies regarding the economics of crime. Statistically, macroeconomic data are difficult to regress directly because of its nonstationarity. In lieu of this problem, Johansen cointegration is used for the analysis for it specializes on variables that are nonstationary at level form but stationary at first level. Most of the data are taken from the national body governing the statistics of the country and World Bank. There are two models that are tested. The first model is the cointegration of crime as the exogenous variable with urban population growth, inflation, unemployment, and national income to represent urbanization in the Philippines. The second model took into account crime, inflation, secondary and tertiary education enrollment rate, police visibility, national income, and unemployment as a consolidated model to represent the opportunity cost in engaging in criminal activities. The results shown that in the first model, all variables of urbanization have long run relationship with crime except for national income. On the other hand, the second model’s result showed that all variables that represent opportunity cost have long run relationship with crime except national income and tertiary education enrollment.
