GENERAL ASSUMPTIONS AND PRINCIPLES
UNDERLYING THE PLAN
PRINCIPLES 1. COMMUNITY GROWTH
Between barangay authorities, numerous departments, and
residents, spatial planning can create strong bonds, the entire
community can then work toward a shared objective of
productivity and better, safer living as a result. These aspects
include community involvement, equity, effective emergency
response, and public welfare.

2. IMPROVE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE

A barangay may give its citizens access to all necessary
services, attractions, and facilities with a well-planned
structure. At the same time, the negative parts of urban
life are diminished, resulting in a healthier lifestyle
generally and an enhanced standard of living.
 3. LESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND
SUSTAINABILITY

PRINCIPLES Green belts, promoting public transportation to cut down on

fuel use, Eco-friendly technologies, the value of natural
systems, more local production, more walking, less driving,
and increasing public knowledge of environmental impacts
are all actions that could help to slow down and lessen the
ecological damage that barangays ultimately bring out the
minimal environmental impact of development and its
operations.

4. BETTER ECONOMY AND RESOURCE

UTILIZATION
Appropriate spatial planning is one way to prevent these
undesirable changes and the ensuing economic downturn.
Cities are constantly competing for financial resources as
they need inputs to keep their economies expanding. Due
to this circumstance, there should be more jobs available
and lower living expenses. This can be accomplished by
integrating and strategically spreading economic activity.
 5. DISASTER PREVENTION AND GREATER
CREDIBILITY

PRINCIPLES A barangay will be better equipped to handle any unforeseen

events if it is better planned. Numerous locals, guests, and
tourists will find the area to be a safer environment. Better
forecasting and response to natural catastrophes is desirable
and communities can either prevent most catastrophes
altogether or, at the absolute least, lessen their negative
consequences by employing smart tactics that are supported
by an infrastructure that is strategically placed.

6. MORE EFFICIENT PROBLEM-SOLVING

Anticipation is a better strategy for problem-solving. If an
issue is foreseen, it can be addressed immediately. Spatial
planning that is sufficient enables barangays to anticipate
problems and use well-thought-out infrastructure and
spatial patterns to respond to them more effectively. This
implies that all areas will be made as effective as possible
and accessible for upkeep in a properly planned
community.
PRINCIPLES
7. PLANNING FOR BETTER LIFE
A complete, consistent strategy can make life in urban areas
better, from economic issues to social and environmental
problems to safety and well-being. On the other side, it can
become uninhabitable if there are no such preparations in
place. Thus, it is a necessity to look at sustainable solutions,
which have a significant impact on urban growth.

8. INCREASE UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY

AND DIVERSITY
We aim to set the groundwork for true community, which
necessitates structures that support fluid patterns of live-
work-play rather than isolated and compartmentalized
zones. Additionally, we require development that would
accommodate people of all ages, races, family structures,
socioeconomic levels, and abilities.
PRINCIPLES
9. CONNECTEDNESS AND WALKABILITY
The health of the community is the ultimate goal and benefit.
By expanding opportunities to walk, run, and cycle, we
enable more people to exercise. And coupled with reduced
car usage, this creates a healthier, more sustainable urban
environment. A system of first-rate railroads linking towns,
cities, and neighborhoods. Design that favors pedestrians and
promotes increased commuting by bicycle, scooter,
rollerblading, and walking.

10. BUILDINGS AS A WORK OF ART

Placement of municipal uses and places specifically within
the community; emphasis on beauty, aesthetics, human
comfort, and establishing a feeling of the place. In
addition, humans are nourished by beautiful surroundings
and buildings on a human scale.
ASSUMPTIONS
1. THE RISKS THAT COMMUNITIES FACE
WHEN IMPLEMENTING IMPROVEMENTS
CAN BE REDUCED TO SOME EXTENT BY
GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT, WHICH
SERVES AS BOTH A GUIDE AND A
BUFFER FOR COMMUNITY GROWTH.
Because of the rules they established, it is a little
harder to skip processes mistakenly or intentionally.
In the case of a problem, government funding
sources and programs are also designed with
backup plans so that the communities who rely on
them are not put at a severe disadvantage.
2. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN
ENCOURAGE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
BY KEEPING THEIR RESIDENTS
INFORMED AND INCLUDING THEM AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE IN DECISION-
MAKING AND COMMUNITY MARKETING
It is frequently important to redress the balance of
public participation to hear the opinions of persons
and groups that have traditionally been
underrepresented to be more socially inclusive.
GENERAL GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The Barangay Spatial Plan 2023-2043 provides a spatial vision and strategy unique to the area
for development or regeneration for the next 20 years. It identifies locally specialized policies
intended to supplement national ones rather than duplicating them and may help achieve long-
term sustainable growth.

It will present a strategic assessment to improve the standard of service delivery by all branches
of government and to connect and harmonize them with policies on industrialization, agriculture,
social welfare, and environmental and cultural preservation so that each supports the other in an
ongoing improvement in human welfare. It will as a guide for the preparation of the Provincial
Physical Framework Plans (PPFPs) and Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs) of local
government units (LGUs) in the area.

HISTORY

GEO-POLITICAL TIMELINE

On October 16, 1936, President Manuel L. Quezon officially proclaimed Davao a charter city; the
charter took effect on March 1 of that same year. Along with Zamboanga, it was one of the first two
towns in Mindanao to be transformed into a city. Davao was then divided into three (3)
congressional districts subdivided into 11 administrative districts with 182 barangay.

Barangay 19-B is located in the first district (Poblacion district) and is roughly at 7.0909 and 125.6062.
At these coordinates, elevation is thought to be 32.5 meters, or 106.6 feet, above mean sea level. It is
a barangay in Davao City formerly called Población. The barangay has 6 puroks namely: Purok 8-A
Riverview Village, Gravahan, Purok 7-B San Antonio, Purok 9-A Alonzo Terrazas Village, Purok 9-D, El
Rio Vista Village, Phase 5, Purok 9-A El Rio Vista Village, Phase 1 Riverside, and Purok 8-B, Muslim

HISTORY

ETHNOHISTORY

Along with other ethnic groups like the Aeta, Maguindanaon, and Tausug, the territory of what is
now Davao City was originally a beautiful forest home to Lumadic peoples like the Bagobos and
Matigsalugs.

Currently, Davao City may be proud of its population's unity in diversity, which includes respect for
each group's unique culture and traditions. In a metropolis that is regarded as one of the safest cities
in the world, Dabawenyos, migrants, and lumads coexist alongside ethnic Americans, Chinese,
Korean, Indian, and Japanese people as well as Indonesians and Malaysians. Barangay 19-B also has a
variety of ethnic groups residing in its area, particularly lumads.
