TITLE:
KALAW COMPLEX: Redevelopment of Callao Eco Tourism Zone Integrating the

Community Based Rural Participation through Cultural Preservation and
Environmental Sensitive Recreational Resort
REASONS/ JUSTIFICATIONS IN CHOOSING THE TOPIC:
Tourism is an important sector for Philippine economy. As a tourist destination, the

province like Cagayan has a variety of areas with outstanding scenic beauty and one of this is
Callao Cave in Peñablanca Town. In the past Lenten season alone, the Cagayan Provincial
Tourism Office (CPTO) recorded about 8,000 tourists who flocked to see the caves and the
diggings where the fossil remains were found. The province’s decision makers have
concerned about it because tourism attraction affects the economical profit. Fast growth of
tourist also affected the local. The government have concerned about it because tourism
attraction affects the economical profit. Such tourist attractions, the civilization and culture of
Cagayan led the idea of dialogue among civilizations in a way that the ideal was by
Cagayan’s tourism suggestion, 2019. However, due to the problem in terms of comprehensive
and principal planning that led to the difference between mutual adaptation of tourism and
cultural context of the community, this industry is not progressed yet. It should not be
forgotten that the art, literature and hospitality of local citizens, the existence of historical
places from different civilizations and special facilities are the other attractions. By analyzing
such factors, it can be concluded that the upcoming progress of tourism and people’s
attraction to it, providing other attraction to entertain these travelers should be considered
both qualitatively and quantitatively. It should be also regarded in province’s massive
planning. The importance of integrating culture and environment can be analyzed from some
perspectives: First of all, the idea of dialogue among civilizations should be taken into
consideration. Building a relationship between different cultures and the possibility of
meeting other cultures and identifying new knowledge and southeast massive developments
in all areas are the purpose of this idea. The economic aspect is the other factor. According to
some official suggestions, the tourism industry can create 500,000 job opportunities annually
and 7.5 milliard dollar would be the revenue of the country for a single year. Moreover, 8 job
opportunities would be possible by the entrance of a tourist. Cagayan and its tourism
attraction increases the need of creating the resort complexes. Its architecture analysis and
can help designing such places because the key of every success is in human’s understanding,
analyzing and performance. In this study, it’s tried to make Callao Eco Tourism Zone as a
proper place for Cagayan and foreigner tourists by using unique properties of Cultural
Preservation and Environmental Sensitive.
EXPECTED CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GROWTH OF KNOWLEDGE IN

ARCHITECTURE:
Viewing the present scenario of the world, the issue of eco-sensitive and cultural
preservation must be raised by the architects and we as an architect can alter built form for
which we need to understand and be responsible for its far-reaching consequences. The future
is hard to predict but some things are certain. There will be rise in urban population in
developing economies and an increase in levels of income. This study will pay its attention
towards the development of tourism though it us a worthless effort to give impact in global
scale, but it will certainly create an example and impact locally as there is saying, think
locally, impact globally. This study could be the masterpiece of all resort that are functioning
today and will approach to give it global identification.
It influences how we interact with others and with the world around us. People who
are culturally sensitive are able to function in other cultures. They value and respect diversity
and are open to learning things from the point of view of others. Environmentally Sensitive
Design in terms of Promoting Environmentally Sensitive Design & Building
Practices. Environmentally sensitive design places the same amount of homes / properties in
the same area as a standard subdivision design would, but saves room for "Green Space".
