Material type: TextLanguage: English Publication details: 2007Description: 95 leavesSubject(s): Dissertation note: Thesis (BS Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Mindanao, 2007 Abstract: Security threat is one among the several worldly problems that need to be addressed. Security issues are not just for the policemen or government to be acted with, general public as well should be involved in responding to such activity. Crimes, such as theft, robbery, espionage, bombings, murder, and other petty crimes like vehicular accidents, trespassing, abusing of authority endanger the lives of people and threaten the built environment. But despite this, security as a design requirement has often been inadequately addresses and inadequately funded. Architectural vulnerability is one major factor that affects security in a certain place. An open space like the seaports, a transport terminal with no boundaries aside from its surrounding water and docks are one of the biggest targets of terrorism. Aside from its architectural vulnerability, numbers of people are observed in the area for a certain period of time. With this security threats, passengers have their own sentiments or views regarding the present situation and physical design of the place and may behave differently with their environment. This research aimed to study how behavior is affected by security issues as well as to eliminate or minimize security problems in seaports for a safe environment of transient users. From the gathered data, the lack of facilities permit people to isolate themselves and for these people to feel secured, they chose to stay inside their car or away from the rows. Second is the ingress and egress of pedestrian and vehicle in the seaport influences the traffic movement in the area. In this sense the proposed project is a security-based design of seaport that fits to the perception of the Mindanaon's peaceful and stressful environment within.Item type | Current library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
