INTRODUCTION
Communities everywhere can decide what it is that makes
their public spaces a destination and a safe place to live. Is it through
the street design? A safe place for youth? or a conducive environment
for young students? Usually the answer is more than one of these, but
the right mix is up to the people who resides the place. However, the
conflict comes when the people do not or cannot use the public space
to its optimal purpose, proper waste disposal, despite the LGU’s effort
to maintain the cleanliness of the surrounding. Such was the case with
Purok 17-A, Lower Madapo, Brgy. 5-A, Bankerohan, Davao City.

permit sidewalks to the street to eliminate dark spots
to promote safety and security on the premises

• Redefining and revitalizing existing by adding park

amenities to attract and prevent them from playing
along the street that could somehow endanger their
lives. In addition to this, the existing park situated

community, this will include parks, sidewalks and
MRF’s. After enhancing the street layout for the
pedestrian access, we can now ensure the safety of the
