INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the

StudyThe mode of transportation in Catanduanes

has been fast evolving in the recent years.

A few years ago, the yet under-developedCircumferential Road Phase I connectingthe capital town of Virac to the North byway of San Miguel-Viga national roads

only serviced jeeps and buses whichcarries the riding public commonlystudents.

One area of study is the fifth classmunicipality of Bagamanoc bounded on theeastern side by the Pacific Ocean,on the northwestern side by themunicipality of Pandan, western side by themunicipality of Caramoran, and on thesouth by the municipality of Panganiban.

Population in 2010 was est. to 11,370 people(en.wikipedia.org).


5/26

The municipality of Panganiban (Payo), afifth class municipality with a 2010population census of 9,738 people.

Situated on the northern part of

Catanduanes, eastern part facing thePacific Ocean. It is bounded on the northby the municipality of Bagamanoc, on thesouth by the municipality of Viga, and on

the west by the municipality of Caramoran(en.wikipedia.org).


6/26

Last area for study is Viga, a 4th

class municipality in the province havinga 2010 population census of 20,669people.

Nestled in one of the widest inland plains of

the island, between three neighboringtowns and the Philippine Sea. To the southis the town of Gigmoto; to the west is thetown of Caramoran. It is about 52kilometers (32 mi) north from the capitaltown of Virac (en.wikipedia.org).

1.2 Statement of the

ProblemThe mode of transportation that students

chose may vary from person to person.Apart from that, the circumstances and

situations will also greatly influence themode of transportation they prefer. Nomatter what mode have chosen,transportation does play a big role in day

to day life(www.eclaireurdugatinais.com/most-preferred-mode-of-transportation).


8/26

A more different case could be applied to theoptions students from Northern towns ofViga, Panganiban and Bagamanoc do have.Student commuters may have a couple of

choices as different types of public vehiclesoffer transport service from these townsgoing to the capital town of Virac.However, these choices do not includeconsiderations for safety.


9/26

1.3 Objectives

The primary aim of this study is to determine themode preference of student commuters ofeach town of Viga, Panganiban andBagamanoc and determine which factorscause students to choose a specific mode overthe other available options.

This study will also seek to provide informationas to the mode of transportation available inthe fore stated towns and categorize them asto the level of safety, the time of travel,economy and level of comfort.


10/26

Most importantly, this study aims torecommend to the public vehicleoperators the factors that should beobserved and optimized in order to

ensure student commuters choice for

their service and then propose policy andplanning measures that could beimplemented to help foster and encouragethe use of a safe and reasonable modes oftravel.

1.4 Significance of the Study

The results of this study will be of more helpand importance to student commuters whocame from the Northern towns of

Catanduanes. As students cant even

predict how their preferences varydepending on circumstances, they may noteven think of what mode to choose. Theywill adjust with whatever hey have in handor just borrow to deal with the situation.


12/26

Conclusions that will be derived based on

this study will provide the studentcommuters a better idea of taking a ridewith full consideration on factors involving

safety, economy and time.

It will open up awareness in taking time toconsider what type of vehicle they will

choose and stick to. This study will give awide perspective of a modern and betterway of riding public vehicles.


13/26

1.5 Scope and Limitations

The researchers chose to limit their studyand observations to student commuters withspecific routes from the towns of Viga,

Panganiban and Bagamanoc to the capitaltown of Virac, Province of Catanduanes andvice-versa.

Respondents will primarily include studentsfrom Catanduanes State University,Catanduanes Colleges and ChristianPolytechnic Institute of Catanduanes.


14/26

Public vehicles which are included in the study

will be enlisted together with the operator andthe authorized route of travel, whether they areregistered or not. The numbers of operatingvehicles will be used in the analysis of its impact

to the mode preferences of the respondents.

Due to a large number of possible respondentstogether with the time constraints and other

academic obligations of the researchers, theresearchers will limit the number ofrespondents to only sixty students, randomlyselected.


15/26

Mode preferences of students will be

ranked individually according to towns.

Vehicular accidents which are inconnection with the study and routecovered will be recorded accordingly butwill not consume a valuable amount ofspace in the analysis and interpretation of

data.
