Vol.3, No.1C

Abstract

The System Simple Nutrient Addition Program (SNAP) Hydroponics is ideal for restricted spaces typical in urban areas if there is sunlight, air movement, and a rain shelter. With this, SNAP hydroponics have a high potential for widespread household adoption, small-scale commercial application, and a prospect for tourist attraction. The study aims to assess the selected urban households' awareness of SNAP hydroponics in Brgy. Matandang Balara, Quezon City. The study utilizes the descriptive research method that involves adequate and accurate interpretation of the findings. Using a Simple Random Sampling technique, 50 selected urban households were randomly chosen to be the study’s respondents. The researchers used an original questionnaire and constructed the questions according to the present problem to gather the essential information for the analysis. The survey focused on SNAP hydroponics as sustainable tourism and the problems encountered by the barangay. The results of the study showed that urban households in Brgy. Matandang Balara, Quezon City, is "unaware" of SNAP hydroponics as sustainable tourism. Through the in-depth analysis of the findings, the researchers constructed an intervention program for urban households to raise their awareness of SNAP hydroponics as sustainable tourism.
