ASSESSING QUALITY OF LIFE IN HISTORIC CITY - CASE OF SHAHJAHANABAD

Shivani Goel — 2025-01-20

historic urban city due to which new infrastructure is needed. But adding new infrastructure is very challenging because of limited space, congested areas, old infrastructure, and poor governance which then leads to slum-like conditions in those areas. These conditions deteriorate the feel of the place and the quality of life of people living there worsens. As the quality of life is not appropriate, people start migrating to other areas for living and these houses are in turn converted to commercial spaces either for storage or small factories. These conversions lead to an increase in footfall of people due to commercialization and the character of the city changed from mixed-use to commercial. There is a need to address the needs of those people to make the area/city livable or provide a better quality of life to residents and workers of that area.

To understand this, a case of Shahjahanabad as a model case study for historic cities in India is taken which depicts similar conditions as discussed, have issues related to increases in population, deteriorating infrastructure, residential conversion into commercial, traffic jams, congestion, political and economic adversaries, etc. The paper is an effort to analyze or bring forward the issues faced by the residents/ workers living in historic cities through the parameters of quality of life which has deteriorated over time and suggestions will be provided to upgrade the city life.

DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF REMOTE OFFLINE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM WITH NETWORK FILE SYSTEM USING INTRANET NETWORKS

Junil P. Rarugal — 2025-01-20

Abstract— The lack of internet access in underdeveloped nations, particularly the Philippines, exacerbates the digital divide and restricts universal access to ICT. This research developed an alternative standalone offline open educational resources access methods for distant learning and teaching-based eLearning called Remote Offline Learning Management System with Network Files system (ROLMS-NFS) utilizing intranet networks and a Network File System, particularly for far-flung and hinterland schools. The proposed system combines a standard computer unit, a robust Moodle learning management system, and a Network File System database setup. The technology uses an intranet network architecture by connecting two wireless antennas in different locations to create a wireless link. Once linked to the network, teachers, and students can access the e-learning system through local e-learning Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) without total reliance on internet connection and mobile data. As a result, the system makes sharing educational resources easier. It lets students access their lessons, modules, and assignments, take exams and quizzes and even watch video lessons on their laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Further a Technology Acceptance model survey questionnaire was used to assess teacher and student acceptance and intention to use the proposed system by finding its Perceived ease of use, Perceived usefulness, attitude towards use, and behavioral intention to use.

MAPPING THE TANGIBLE CULTURAL PROPERTIES OF MARIVELES, BATAAN: BASIS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNICATION (IEC) MATERIALS

Jhana Mira D. Carillo — 2025-01-20

Cultural mapping has become a part of both the cultural planning and community cultural development. Hence, this study aimed to map the cultural properties of Mariveles, Bataan as a basis for the development of information, education and communication (IEC) materials. This study employed Participatory Cultural Mapping as an approach in gathering and analyzing the data. Following this approach, the researchers worked and collaborated with the owners, caretakers, barangay officials, local tourism officers, and locals who have knowledge about the eleven (11) identified cultural properties. Triangulation method was used to gather and validate information from the participants. The instruments used in this study are the NCCA Cultural Mapping Form, Semi - Structured Interview and Document Analysis. The quantitative definition of cultural inventory was used to interpret the data obtained from the field visits and record study. The findings of this study is divided into two categories such as movable and immovable. First, there are two (2) identified tangible movable cultural properties in Mariveles including Señor Nazareno and St. Nicholas de Tolentino. While nine (9) tangible immovable cultural properties were identified including the Municipal Marker, Mariveles Dam, Copo de Mariveles, Poblacion Lighthouse, Freeport Area of Bataan, Llamas Memorial Institute, Llamas Statue in Antonio G. Llamas Elementary School, Lazareto de Mariveles and US Detachment Stone were documented. In addition, this study resulted in the identification of the significance, problems or constraints, and preservation measures installed to the identified tangible cultural properties. Finally, this study resulted in the development of the Information, Education and Communication (IEC) Materials which can be used in both tourism and education sectors. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended for the Local Government Unit to offer financial help for the refurbishment and maintenance as well as for proper maintenance of the identified cultural properties. For the caretakers of the movable property, the Local Government Unit can assist them on printing materials to disseminate so that other people will be aware about the property. Programs to inform students and citizens of Mariveles about tangible cultural properties must be implemented by the municipal authority. To disseminate the knowledge and to raise awareness about how every cultural property is endangered, old and prone to destruction, the municipality of Mariveles needs to develop more comprehensive, approachable, and creative ways and programs. To create effective and creative IEC materials that can be used by local schools either in elementary or secondary to educate the students about the history and culture of Mariveles.

DISRUPTIVE IMPACTS AND PARADIGM SHIFT IN UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICAL EDUCATION: THE CASE OF A STATE UNIVERSITY

Alvin John M. Carlos — 2025-01-20

The unexpected surge of the COVI19 pandemic in the early part of 2020 has greatly impacted the way things are done in many aspects of life, including higher education. The impact has affected both higher education institutions (HEIs) in developed and developing countries at varying levels. With the goal of providing continuous education, HEIs have responded to the call of the time, implementing a relatively abrupt transition to distance online learning, exposing the many challenges of delivering higher education courses, particularly skills-based collegiate courses such as Physical Education (PE). In the Philippines, where there is still a great digital divide and access to learning technologies are still limited when the pandemic hit, the delivery of physical education has been disrupted and teachers of PE must shift their paradigm of teaching and learning. This reflective research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research designs, aims to describe the effects of COVID19 on physical education in a public higher education institution in a developing country. Face-to-face teaching and learning have been shifted to remote distance/virtual learning and on-site demonstrations of PE skills were suspended for almost two academic years now. Affected by various social, financial, infrastructure, and political factors, PE in the Philippines has been greatly disrupted and a paradigm shift has been the answer to adjust and recalibrate the delivery of education. Internet accessibility, affordability, reliability, and availability of resources in certain areas seem to negatively impact the delivery of PE during the long lockdowns. Appropriate mitigation mechanisms based on the results are recommended to help in responding, mitigating, and recovering quickly from future pandemic occurrences.
