Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] CHAPTER I: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction “It’s more fun with anywhere Philippines” (Juan Philippines, 2012) “The Philippines is defined by its emerald fields, teeming megacities, graffiti splashed jeepneys, smoldering volcanoes, bug eyed tarsiers, fuzzy water buffalo and smiling, happy-go-lucky people” (Lonenly Planet Magazine, 2012) Northern Luzon is located between the Luzon mainland and Taiwan, this is where one can find some of the crown jewel of the Philippines. One of these jewels is Ilocos Norte that offers so many treasures like; unspoiled beaches, unique landscapes and grand structure; this is probably the reason why it is considered as one of the best tourist destination in the Philppines. According to PIA (Philippine Information Agency), with nearly 700,000 tourists that visited the province since April, Ilocos Norte has made headway in the tourism industry. All these is because of the campaign pitch “Paoay Kumakaway”, which targeted the domestic market and other countries aside China, had since reached a wide audience locally and abroad using television spots and billboard. (Arzadon, Ma. C., 2012) Time travel gave five reasons to visit Ilocos Norte and these are: (1) it’s earthly wonders, this involves the dynamic coastal topography of the province. (2) church architecture (3) bucolic beaches (4) characterful cuisine; among Filipinos, Ilocanos are known for frugality, and the cuisine of this farming society features ingredients shunned elsewhere int the country. (5) historic Vigan; drive south for an hour to neighboring province Ilocos Sur to get to Vigan, the Philippines’ only UNESCO World Heritage City (Villarica H., 2011) 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 1 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Buses and private vehicle are the most reliable form of transportation to Ilocos Norte from Manila, usually it took 9-12 hours by land if one is coming from Manila. One can also take an airplane ride which usually took 45 minutes coming from Manila. According to the Philippine National Tourism Development Plan for 2011-2016; the secondary international airports located at Clark, Mactan- Cebu, Davao, Puerto Princesesa, Iloilo, Laoag and Zamboanga are currently unable to handle rapid international tourism growth because of limitations on : (a) city side aspects such as poor access, lack of parking, and inadequate support services. (b) air side constraints related to runway, taxiway, parking apron limitations, air navigation system limitations and fire and rescue service limitation, and (c)airport management and operations limitations. It is stated in the development plan of the Philippine national Tourism, that the upgrading of Laoag International Airport comprises the following tasks: (1) improve access road and parking areas. (2) Provide public transportation services from a designated point outside the terminal to Laoag City, and (3) Implement current terminal improvement program focusing on increasing international passenger arrival and departure handling capacity. (4) Conversion to Airport Authority that includes marketing of airport to carrier as part of its charter. Statement of the Problem The following are the major issues that this proposal aims to address: 1. What factor must be considered to be able to create welcoming and accommodating airport? 2. How can the improvement or expansion of Laoag International Airport help boost the tourism in ikocos Norte? 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 2 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 3. What major impact can this airport bring to the country and the locals of Ilocos Norte especially in Loaag City? 4. Up to what extent does the local government plan to rehabilitate the Laoag International Airport? 5. What other important facilities should be provided in Laoag International Airport? 6. What issues need attention to improve the facilities of Laoag International Airport? Project Goal Marked as one of the priority project, the local government of Ilocos Norte aims to better the facilities to handle the rapid international and domestic tourism growth. This is also to further promote the tourism in the province. The researcher will concentrate first on investigating the pros and cons of the past development and then eventually look for a new concept that is applicable to the project. The Laoag International Airport will serve as the gateway for the tourist coming from China, Taiwan and sooner or later tourist from around the globe that are as well willing to invest in the province. Also, this will serve as a very important icon in the province of Ilocos. Objectives of the Study Specifically, the objectives of studying this problem area are: 1. To gain knowledge on the different trends in designing and building an airport, so that in the long run people will start to feel comfortable inside Loaag International Airport. 2. To assess the extent of redevelopment needed to be able to identify the dilemma in Laoag International Airport. 3. To study the current condition of Laoag International Airport that causes spatial problems. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 3 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 4. To enumerate the essential and most up-to-date spatial requirement in Laoag International Airport. Strategies The researcher will examine Laoag International Airport and at the same time observe the users to better understand the proposal. Through this the researcher can support the feasibility of the study and the possible design solutions. The researcher will conduct interviews with the related personnel, intensive research and case studies. Significance of the Research This research will serve as a useful reference to the local government of Ilocos Norte, for decision making regarding budget. This is also for the use of Architects to make them aware of new approaches in designing facilities for tourists. In addition, this research is for the assistance of the future architects/students, may this research help them understand the needs of the users/clientele and hopefully consider designing a user friendly airport. The study will also be an important venture in promoting the tourism in Ilocos Norte that will offer a good job opportunity for the locals of Ilocos Norte. Most importantly, this is for the advantage of the tourists/clientele for they serve as the motivation for this research. Scope and Limitation of the Study This research was conducted to determine the current condition of Laoag International Airport and be aware to the new approaches in designing an airport. In accordance to this, the researcher will interview the local government of Laoag, Ilocos Norte, through these; the researcher will know the future plans for Laoag. The researcher will also be interviewing personnel coming from 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 4 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] CAAP and DOTC for these are the department in-charge for the development of airports and other transportation facilities. Aside from the interview, the researcher will conduct a case study inside the Laoag International Airport, this case study will help the researcher identify what is lacking and what is not needed in the facility of Laoag International Airport. Assumptions “. . . it can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the phrase ‘as pretty as an airport.’ airports are ugly. Some attain a degree of ugliness that can only be the result of a special effort.” (Adams D. 1988) The researcher therefore assumes that the reason why the clientele refrain from staying in an airport is because they feel uncomfortable and to some they feel claustrophobic when inside the airport facilities. Also, the researcher assumes that placing other facilities such as smoking areas, courtyard and other facilities that will keep them busy will help the clientele forget the feeling of uneasiness inside the airport. Definition of Terms CAAP - Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines DOTC - Department of Transportation and Communications PIA - Philippine Information Agency UNESCO - United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 5 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Theoretical Framework Review of Related Literature According to the headline of Ilocos Times dated April 16-22 2012, “Tourists flock to Ilocos Norte this holy week”. It is stated that during the holy week season there are more than half a million or 680,000 domestic and foreign tourists were estimated to have visited Ilocos Norte. According to Governor Imee Marcos, this is the result they receive after releasing the tourism brand of Ilocos Norte which is “Paoay Kumakaway”. Governor Marcos admitted that the growth of tourist is overwhelming and hoped to be better prepared next time. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 6 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Due to this overwhelming number of tourist, vehicles got stuck on a traffic jam which barely happened in the city of Laoag. Hotel reservations are all occupied which leads the other visitors to stay in home-stay’s and tent, while restaurants and other tourist’s spots are all in ruckus. But in spite of this situation Governor Imee Marcos requested the locale to make the province a tourist friendly destination and make the visitors feel welcome and comfortable all the time. This article only shows that there is indeed a need for expansion in Laoag International Airport. It is very obvious in the article that Ilocos Norte is still the number one tourist destination for the foreign and domestic visitors. And also Ilocos Norte will be a haven for investors for business due to the number of tourist visiting the province. ooOoo The next article is somewhat related to the previous news. According to Ilocos Times dated April 16-22 2012, “3 international direct flights to LIA is under negotiation”. It is said that Laoag International Airport are negotiating with airline companies that will conduct an international direct flights. The proposed flights are: Honolulu – Laoag flights, Hong Kong – Laoag –Manila and Taipei – Laoag – Batanes routes. According to Governor Imee Marcos this is the right time for investors and the airline companies to take advantage of the air traffic as tourist influx remained steady for the past months. As of now Laoag Airport has only one existing international flights carrying air passengers from Macau to Laoag and the other way around on twice a week basis while domestic carriers are flying from Laoag to Manila and vice versa every day. ooOoo ThyssenKrupp Elevator is a manufacturer capable of supplying the full range of passenger conveyance systems for all three directions of travel – horizontal, vertical and diagonal. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 7 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] ThyssenKrupp believes that planners are no longer content just to implement the “form follows function” principle. In fact, according to Amsterdam professor of Architecture Ben van Berkel “the future of the airport is the concept of a city that offers culture and education, jobs and recreation. The vision is of a system that not only functions during air traffic times but is alive around the clock.” As of now, we only see these airports as an architectural system of terminals, gates, baggage conveyors, control towers, hangars, cargo warehouses, parking garages, and office buildings. But, in the future airport operators want visitors to feel at home at airports and spend money there. Accordingly, operators are trying everything to make staying in the terminals as tempting as possible. Shopping has become a key concept in airport planning. An airport which presents itself as an architectural experience with restaurants, meeting points, and shopping facilities, the more friendly an airport appears, the more likely it is to attract visitors who come not to travel but to see the sights. To sum this up, an airport architecture of the future has to meet four requirements: Firstly, to efficiently manage sharply rising air traffic and visitor volumes; secondly, to shape the airport experience to create an atmosphere that invites passengers to linger and consume; thirdly, to integrate zero-tolerance security unobtrusively into the structure; and fourthly, to minimize construction and maintenance costs – the airport of tomorrow is also a profit center. Method of Research The researcher will use a descriptive method in conducting the research, for a descriptive method of research is a fact-finding study with adequate and accurate interpretation of the findings. (Calderon J., Gonzales E. 1993) 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 8 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] The researcher will conduct a case study to gather all the information needed. A case study is necessary for this is a comprehensive, complete, detailed and in-depth study and analysis of an individual, institution, group or community. (Calderon J., Gonzales E. 1993) Research Instruments The researcher will conduct a case study to collect information that will help attain the objectives of the problem. In conducting the case study the researcher will use a camera for taking the photos of the Laoag International Airport and other important things that may help solve the problem. A case study is nothing without observing the facilities and its user. In observing, the researcher mostly used the sense of sight and sense of hearing. Sense of sight is a powerful tool in observing, because through the sense of sight the researcher gets to see every detail needed for the research being conducted. Sense of hearing is the second powerful tool in observation. Sometimes seeing is not enough in a research, for sometimes others opinion and comments are helpful in conducting the research. The researcher will also conduct an interview, but due to the busy schedule of the personnel to be interviewed, the researcher made use of questionnaires and submitted it in their respected offices. Case Studies Laoag International Airport The researcher will conduct a case study in Laoag International Airport to check on its current condition and to study the facilities and its circulation. In this way the researcher will be able to identify the spacial requirements that are needed in the airport. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 9 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Departure International Airport facade As of now, the Laoag International Airport caters domestic flights from PAL, Airphil Express, Cebu and an international flight from Astro Air. Departure entrance 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 10 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] According to the security officers of the airport, whenever flights are over lapping the airport is in ruckus and sometimes people are already outside of the airport terminal because it could no longer hold the passengers. Departure lobby Once you entered the departure lobby in Laoag International Airport, you will see the PNP assistance desk and the DOTC-CAAP help desk. Security check, view from the entrance lobby 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 11 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Security check, view from the check-in baggage Check-in baggage 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 12 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Final security check Final security check The immigration desk will welcome the tourist/clientele as they enter the final security check. This is the first thing that tourist/clientele will see upon entering the departure lounge. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 13 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Whenever flights are over-lapping this lounge is crowded and due to the situation tourists/clientele prefers to stay outside the terminal building. Toilet and diaper change area 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 14 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Airport Cafeteria Upon the researcher’s observation, the cafeteria is the only access to the VIP room for the business class passengers. Also, it is only the means to go to the international waiting lounge. Entrance to International lounge 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 15 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] International departure hallway 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 16 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Arrival Arrival exit Upon entering the Laoag International Airport the first thing you will see is the arrival section of the terminal. Unlike other airport, Laoag International Airport does not have terminals for public transportation and has a very small waiting bay that causes traffic whenever there is a scheduled flight. As of now, traffic is still tolerable. Arrival exit lobby 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 17 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Laoag International Airport exit lobby is actually just a vast space with a mini duty free on it. The researcher thinks that the space is too big that it does not serve its purpose. Baggage claim area Upon arriving in Laoag International Airport, the baggage claim area will welcome the tourists. As of now, Laoag International Airport has only one conveyor since flights are scheduled per airlines and international flights are chartered. During regular days this scenario is okay, but during the peak season this area is in commotion. Baggage conveyor 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 18 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 19 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Tourism desk 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 20 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Other Airport Facilities These includes the fire station building, administration building, control tower, power house, flight service station/flight operations briefing station, DOTC staff house, CAAP staff house, PAGASA station, PNP building, search & rescue building, vehicular parking area, concessionaires. Fire station Administration building 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 21 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Control tower Power house 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 22 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] CAAP staff house 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 23 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] PAGASA station 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 24 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] PNP building Search and Rescue building 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 25 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Concessionaires Vehicular parking area 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 26 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Portland International Jetport The newly renovated Portland International Jetport in Portland, Maine is the second commercial airport to achieve LEED Gold certification. Designed by Gensler, the new LEED-certified airport follows on the heels of their renovation of SFO T2, which was the first LEED Gold airport in the nation. Spurred on by the commitment of the city of Portland to ensure a high level of sustainability, the jetport makes use of materials from the region and the largest geothermal heating and cooling system in the state. Despite how energy intensive airports often are, the Portland Jetport and Gensler are showing how beautiful, sustainable and energy-efficient they can be. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 27 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] The 160,000 square-foot, three-gate facility includes a new ticketing hall, a modern baggage handling area that places TSA baggage screening out of view, six new passenger checkpoint lanes, new departures lounges, concessions, and food court seating. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 28 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] To make the airport more energy efficient, Gensler, with the help of AMEC Earth and Environmental and Haley and Aldrich, designed a dual strategy system that relies on geothermal heating and cooling along with a radiant floor system. The geothermal system was made possible by the first-ever Voluntary Airport Low Emissions (VALE) grant from the Federal Aviation Administration. Inspired by the natural beauty and resources of Maine, the terminal features timber constructions that are rarely seen in airport architecture. Natural day lighting, FSC certified glue laminated structural timbers, and low-maintenance, polished concrete floors add to the sustainability strategies. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 29 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 30 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Detroit Metropolitan Wayne Country Airport The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is the first US airport to be designed and built after 9/11- meaning it is one of the most modern and efficient airports out there, especially with regards to security and energy efficiency. The linear airport features a large glass curtain wall that ushers in daylighting into the ticketing, baggage claim and security areas. The new airport also features an innovative system to service each airplane with fuel, climate control and auxiliary electricity right from the gate, in turn eliminating costly and polluting diesel-powered ground units. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 31 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] With 26 gates and 824,000 square foot of space, DTW is designed to minimize stress associated with security screening and travel. This means more daylighting, warmer finishes, lots of electric outlets for personal electronic devices and a greater focus on views. Daylighting streams in through the 660 foot long horizontal glass curtain wall, pumping natural light into the ticketing, baggage claim and security area. When the old terminal and nearby hotel were demolished to make way for the new airport, much of the waste was recycled and reused. The concrete from the old buildings was crashed into gravel for use of roads and ramps, and iron and steel were recycled. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 32 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Archival Investigations DOMESTIC PASSENGER MOVEMENT 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 33 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 34 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER MOVEMENT 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 35 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 36 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 37 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 38 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] CHAPTER II: RESEARCH FOCUS: “AN ENERGY EFFICIENT AIRPORT TERMINAL” Rationale The researcher chose to do the study for the reason that in doing so; it will help the researcher to better understand an airport and its facilities. Also, this research aims to impart all the gathered knowledge to the local government of Ilocos Norte and to the future developers of Laoag International Airport, for this research intends to integrate and modernize the old Laoag International Airport. Laoag International Airport will be developed in order to meet the standards of an international airport and to modernize the old terminal building that seems to be becoming too small and dull. The modernization of Laoag International Airport will help the tourism of Ilocos Norte and soon will open a lot of opportunities to their locals. Principles and Relevance to the Project Laoag International Airport is mostly made of bricks, which in fact make a good façade. If you get to see and travel around Ilocos Norte you will be able to see a lot of structures made of bricks. This is because the town of San Nicolas is famous for these bricks. In the case of Laoag International Airport, these bricks make the interior of the airport gloomy. In addition, the airport does not have a high ceiling which also contributes to the fact that the airport is badly lit 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 39 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] CHAPTER III: ARCHITECTURAL PROGRAMMING DATA Site Introduction Geographical Location The City of Laoag is located at the west central part of the Province of Ilocos Norte bordering the South China Sea. It is bounded on the East by the Municipality of Sarrat; in the Southeast by the Munisipality of San Nicolas; in the Southwest by the Municipality of Paoay, in the Northeast the Municipality of Vintar; in the Northwest by the Municipality of Bacarra; and in the West the South China Sea. It is one of the cities in Region I. It is located between 120 degrees and 31 minutes to 120 degrees and 40 minutes longitude and between 18 degrees and 16 minutes north latitude. The City of Laoag is along the Manila North Road and is 78 kilometers from Vigan, Ilocos Sur, 217 kilometers from the City of San Fernando, La Union, the Regional Capital; 274 kilometers from Baguio City; 363 kilometers from Tarlac; and 488 kilometers from Metro Manila, the National Capital. 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 40 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Laoag City is strategically located at the northern tip of the Northwestern Luzon Growth Quadrangle. It is within two hours of jet travel to any one of Asia’s economic tigers by way of the Loaag International Airport if direct routes are opened and established. Specifically, Laoag is eight hours by land travel and one hour and fourty-five minutes by air to Manila, fourty-five minutes by air to Taiwan, one hour and fourty-five minutes to Japan and two hours to Mainland China or Hongkong. Site Data and Analysis 2 0 0 6 1 0 5 9 2 6 | Racela, Erica Anne Beatrice P. 41 Mapua Institute of Technology [PROPOSED NEW LAOAG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT:] Land Use and Settlement Patterns Laoag Airport is located at Gabu, Laoag City, about 7kms. southwest of the City proper and about 1.50 kms. from the west coast that is nearly parallel to the runway. Laoag City is located at coordinates 18’ 12’ North Latitude and 120’ 34’ East Longitude. The airport facilities are located within the confluence of the Laoag River. Travel to and from Manila takes approximately 8-12 hours by land. The city has a number of attractions, some of which include the: St. William Cathedral, Sinking Belltower, Abolition of Tobacco Monopoly Monument, Marcos Hall of Justice, Laoag Museum and Laoag River. On the basis of the current City Lanad Use Plan and Zoning Ondinance, the areas adjacent to the existing airport facilities are classified largely as agricultural and residential areas. On the western side of the runway are scattered farmlands and residential structures. On the southeastern side are clusters of moderately populated areas near the tributary of the Laoag River. The existing airport is largely located on ATO-owned land. More areas are planned to be acquired to enable ATO to provide a higher level of operating efficiency and security at the airport complex.
