Are you willing to avail a residence beside a

river?
The figure 6 shows a 43.1% of the respondents considering to
have a residence along a riverside. While 19.6% are determined
to avail residency if there is availability. It also shows 37.3% of
respondents declined to have residency.

According to further research, having a facility that

invites people for recreation adds in the value of an
area also for its adjacent places. When familiarity
takes place in an area, the value of the venue also rises
bringing a positive attitude to the people increasing
the chances for them to think of lessening the harm
they could bring to the place and an example is by
irresponsible disposal of trash.
This kind of approach and psychology is the
strategy of the Architectural development to promote
sustainability for the people and environment of
Barangay Pinagbuhatan hoping that it would greatly
take part in the citys movement towards a green
community.
