Proposed School of Living Tradition and Cultural Hub:

A Multiple Intelligence Approach in Creating a

Stimulating Learning Environment
5.2 SITE PROFILE AND ANALYSIS

5.2.1 Criteria for site selection

The location of the cultural complex is critical to the youths’ learning and participation. In

choosing the most appropriate and economical site for the cultural complex, certain

considerations must be looked into. Each property was assessed based on the key factors

affecting site, in combination with the program, and potential for long term growth. The

criteria is applied against each site, in combination with information from several sources,

including: Provincial Development & Physical Framework Plan (PDPF) 2015, City Planning &

Development Office and Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)

 Cultural. The location must be readily accessible to Tagbilaran City and Baclayon,

for the reason that these areas are near the ancestral lands of the Cultural

Communities/Indigenous Peoples. According to the guidelines in establishing a

School of Living Tradition, the SLT may be held in a place/venue most convenient

to the students and masters.

 Accessibility. Locate the site where transportation will not be difficult to access by

the youth, teachers and staffs (living master/culture bearer or culture specialist),

and tourist/visitors. This will be helpful for the promotion of heritage and arts, and

to broaden scope of youth participation.

 Orientation. A cultural institution is most productive when its located in a pleasing

view. This will assist in creating a stimulating learning environment such as gardens

and outdoor spaces.

  Vitality. To ensure the cultural complex’s sustainable operation, the location must

be less vulnerable to natural hazards. (Flooding, Site Erosion, etc.)

 Potential. Locate close to a network of heritage churches, historical monuments,

and national historical landmarks which adds potential of the proposed project as a

tourist destination.
