It was declared a national landmark in August 1, 1973, by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 260, and in 1993, it was prescribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site under the title “Baroque churches of the Philippines.” Using CVM and TCM as tools to determine the economic valuation of the church, the San Joaquin residents were chosen as respondents of the study. The mean WTP, as determined by Turnbull formula, was Php 12.90. The social mean WTP amounted to Php 11,906.70 every year. The travel cost method failed to determine the demand function of the church because the respondents primarily considered the church as a religious entity rather than a recreational site. Also, the substitution effect of San Joaquin church was not taken into account. Although the San Joaquin respondents revealed a modest valuation of the church, church fund for conservation and restoration efforts does not have a problem. Miagaowanons, OFWs, the local and national government financially support the preservation efforts of the church. Restoration schemes were the more important issues that confront the church.Item Factors affecting compliance of Iloilo City jeepney drivers (Molo via City High and Jaro Mandurriao) with anti-smoking ordinance: An assessment of Local Government Unit (LGU) ordinance implementationBiboso, Rissa A.; Salar, Edmund B.

Results showed that the implementing mechanisms employed by the LGU were effective.Item The institutional performance of the Roxas City Local Government Unit in Diwal conservation based on the localization mechanisms of Philippine Agenda 21Bernas, Mary Mayzee D.; Diocena, Ma. Brenda May H. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2006-03)The study sought to describe the institutional performance of the Roxas City Local Unit in Diwal conservation based on the localization mechanisms of Philippine Agenda 21. Specifically, it aimed to determine the following: (1) Roxas City LGU’s employment of the localization mechanism of Philippine Agenda 21 in Diwal conservation; (2) results of the performance of the Roxas City LGU in the actual conservation of Diwal; and (3) constituency evaluation regarding the Diwal conservation policy. The objectives were met through archival research and survey research with the protagonists like the Mayor, Vice Mayor, Sangguniang Panlungsod members, DA employees, and City Fisheries and Aquatic Resource Management Council members, and with the residents of Barangay.Punta Cogon Roxas City as respondents. It is found out that the protagonists generally have a positive attitude regarding the Diwal conservation efforts attributable to the nature of their jobs, to the immediate benefits that the Diwal project provides, to the status of Roxas City as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines, and to what Kaase and Newton refer to as lifestyle/new politics. Statistical and information facilities employed are found to be sufficient. At present, eight local legislations that have been formulated and implemented by the SP and CFARMC members are found to manifest the sustainable development of the Diwal. Moreover, there is an existing structure of multi-stakeholdership of the public authorities, DA employees, CFARMC members, and the Roxas City Diwal divers, which is consistent with the basic principle of collective choices and responsibility towards the realization of sustainable development goals as espoused in PA 21. The operationalization strategies employed in Diwal conservation were found and an ample amount of money has already been spent for the Diwal conservation efforts. Furthermore, it was also found out that there is a significant increase in the number of programs and trainings conducted from the year 2004 to 2005, manifesting a growing concern for the Diwal project. Development reports have been documented but were not communicated to larger institutions. Data shows that there is a remarkable revival in the Diwal industry. Constituency evaluation also shows that they are generally satisfied. The research findings showed that the Roxas City Local Government is effective in its substantial localization of the PA 21 concept of sustainable development applied in Diwal conservation. It was able to revive the Diwal stock, and was able to elicit positive reactions from its constituents. Thus comparative advantage, more legislations regarding the areas of tourism, export, quality of Diwal industry, and uphold the rights and welfare of the basic sectors which are the Diwal divers. In addition, strengthening of the basic sectors enhancing their leverage capabilities should also be pursued.Item A case study of community-oriented policing system in two crime-prone barangays in Iloilo City under the jurisdiction of Police Precincts 1 and 3Bernaldez, Cristina A. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2005-03)This study primarily deals with police -community relationship on the two crime- prone barangays in Iloilo City. It looked into the dynamics of police-community cooperation and collaboration as they geared towards in pursuing a safe place. It also examined their perception towards each other and public trust on police to establish partnership. In the process of achieving a safe community, they were challenged by the issues and problems towards crime prevention. In order to answer the objectives, the researcher used survey and key informant interviews to serve as primary data. Library research at UPV and Camp Delgado was also done. The findings of the study revealed that barangay residents were willing to cooperate on crime prevention efforts by means of attending civic undertakings and reporting crimes. The police and other support groups also took participation by patrolling and giving feedbacks, as well as participation on lectures and trainings for public education and information. However, it showed that the police needed to initiate more lectures and trainings as well as dialogues. Communities have positive perception on police performance, they also trusted the police regardless of the issues raised by some of them. On the contrary, the police saw the residents as hostile. However, as they employed community interactions and strategies they have seen transformations on the behavior and lifestyle of the residents. Most of the issues and problems raised by the residents were more on police duty, visibility, and communication. The key informants raised the issues and problems on crime activities such as drug addiction and thefts, use of sports and leisure equipment and peace and security. The efforts on the employment of COPS on the two barangays seemed to be successful as manifested by the decline of crime rate.Item Gender analysis on the modes and extent of participation in Community-based Fishery Resource Management (CFRM) project in Malalison island, Culasi, AntiqueBenliro, Patriana Z P.; Eraste, Concepcion E.

The instrument used in this study is an open-ended questionnaires divided into two major parts: (a) activities and programs of the SK in the intellectual, political, and economic, social and cultural, moral and spiritual, and physical aspects, (b) the performance of the SK concerned as local legislators. The discussion of the legislative performance of the 6 SK Chairpersons and the Federation President is limited to the perception of the members of the Barangay and Municipal Legislative Councils. The major findings of the research are primarily based on the written responses of the respondents mentioned. The researcher found out that in the six-year term (1996-2002) of the SK concerned, their effectiveness focused mainly in the socio-cultural and physical aspects. Participation of the youth in the making of public policy is poor and inactive. As legislators, they initiated a limited number of resolutions constituting to their ineffectiveness. There were three reasons that had been identified by the researcher, which hampered the SK performance, namely: academic obligations in school, lack of coordination among members (weak organization), and limited support from the Barangay and Municipal Legislative Councils. In general, the six (6) SK Chairpersons and the Federation President in the Municipality of Tibiao, Antique is ineffective in bringing empowerment to their constituents through public policy.Item Sources of stress, coping strategies and social support among seafarers of Leon, IloiloBatin, Hazel C.; Torilla, Hanna Mae C.
