Introduction: Project Background and Client Type
We recently supported a team of 4th-year Bachelor of Science in Architecture students from Batangas State University – The National Engineering University (TNEU), Alangilan Campus, in completing their GIS-based research proposal titled “Rosario Public College: An Eco-Innovative Architectural Campus Design Specialized in Agricultural Development at Barangay Alupay, Rosario, Batangas.”
As part of their course requirement in ARCH 539 – GIS Specialization, the project aimed to identify the most suitable site for a future agricultural-focused public college in Rosario using spatial data and technical evaluation. Through a formal letter of request, the student sought access to Rosario’s updated municipal and barangay-level GIS boundary shapefiles. These were used in the research to analyze land use, flood and landslide hazards, soil quality, topography, and accessibility using QGIS software.
Services Delivered
-
Supplied Rosario Municipality and Barangay GIS boundary shapefiles
-
Provided planning references and hazard data to support the GIS overlays
-
Shared insights from municipal planning guidelines, CLUP zoning, and more maps
Highlights or Unique Considerations
This was a site-focused GIS study that combined architectural planning with hazard risk reduction and agricultural potential. The student used weighted overlay analysis, buffer analysis, hydrological assessments, and proximity mapping to determine the best site for Rosario Public College. The chosen location—Barangay Alupay—emerged as the optimal area due to its:
-
Strategic access to provincial roads
-
Proximity to farming communities
-
Fertile soil, minimal flood risk, and zoning compatibility
The project stands out for its data-driven, sustainability-aligned vision for building educational infrastructure responsive to Rosario’s agricultural identity.
