The Hanging Garden of Pasig River Miniature

Abstract

The Pasig River used to be an important transport route and source of water for Spanish Manila. The river has become very polluted and it is considered biologically dead by an ecologist. The Hanging Garden of Pasig River Miniature could be converted into an environmental preservation area such as a water park and/or green belts. We could introduce water quality technology and conduct technology awareness campaigns to educate the public on how to sustain the river. The research method used in this study is quantitative analysis. Two groups of respondents composed of sixteen (16) STEM Teachers and twenty (20) 4th year Engineering Students were selected to test the acceptability of The Hanging Garden of Pasig River Miniature in terms of Construction Materials, Procedural Methodology, Floor Plan and Presentation. The final product of this research study was assessed by the (2) two groups of respondents using questionnaires. The level of acceptability of The Hanging Garden of Pasig River Miniature in terms of the aforecited variables is Highly Acceptable. The respondents suggested and recommended that the researchers should add more fine details and add more realistic design to make the model more real-like. At the first trial of the research, the problem encountered was having incorrect measurements according to the floor plan and using inappropriate materials not suitable for the product. It must be because of the inexact size of the measurements. The researchers struggled in making its top part, the bowl of the miniature.
