Abstract:
This thesis tackles the impacts of the citification of Paranaque on
its urban planning-related services such as electrical and water services,
public roads, buildings and other structures, and garbage collection and
disposal. The researcher gathered data from the city government of
Paranaque, as well as in the libraries of the School of Urban and Regional
Planning in UP Diliman and the College of Arts and Sciences library in UP
Manila for the background of the study.
Using Dialectical/Historical Materialism as the theoretical framework
for this thesis, the researcher hypothesized that there have been no
significant developments in the provision of these services. To support this
hypothesis, the researcher conducted interviews, focus group discussions,
and a survey with the citizens of Paranaque, particularly from Barangay
Don Bosco and San Antonio. The results of the survey were calculated
using the chi-square method. The outcome of the survey proved the
researcher's hypothesis that there have been no significant developments
in the provision of services such as electrical and water services, public
roads, buildings and other structures, and garbage collection and disposal.
