Multi-Functional Sheltering Facility for Tourism and Disaster Risk Reduction
The study focused on designing a multi-functional sheltering facility with preventive measures that can withstand natural calamities while maintaining the artistic whole design solution that combines basic features of the building’s adaptability to the physical condition of the study area susceptible to typhoons and design elements pairing tourism and DRR. The approach used was a pairwise method to contextualize the design solution parameters for the said facility ideal for the study area. The results created a new knowledge that brought the understanding of what building features can adapt to the physical and environmental conditions. The result disclosed building orientation and configuration allow designers to mitigate strong and fast wind blow impacts through proper indoor space allocation adjustable to the sheltering needs to cater to tourists and evacuees reckoned with the host’s environment conditions and identity promoting local tourism and local heritage. The study concluded that a four (4) or more edged-shaped building as an important design element with a wider interior angle at each vertex can likely respond to and adapt to strong winds next to a four-edged structure tilted at 30–45° angle to mitigate strong wind blows during typhoon season. The author recommends a first- class multi-functional sheltering facility for the Local Government of Prieto Diaz, Sorsogon carrying deluxe rooms with single, double, and family rooms, with queen and king-size beds, and advanced facilities adorned with stylish or sophisticated furnishings and decorations to attract more tourists to stay.
