Introduction

Parking spaces are important for keeping a functional school

environment. As the school population grows, the petition for

parking increases, making it critical to provide a designated

area for vehicles. Without an appropriate parking place,

students, teachers and staff are left to park in unsafe and

inconvenient locations, which can lead to delays and traffic.

Also, a well-organized parking area can improve traffic flow

around the school. Parking issues are almost a universal

hindrance for students and others on campus. And it definitely

doesn’t help that a popular best practice in creating walkable

corridors involves placing parking at the edges of the campus

(Ezarik,2022).

There is not enough parking available for students in close

proximity to the school. Students who drive and also have a

late arrival experience this lack of parking on a day-to-day

basis. (Richter,2024).

Parking shortages are a common issue at U.S. colleges and

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

universities, and implementing smart parking systems can

help address this challenge. Our system combines Iot sensors

and surveillance cameras to accurately count vehicles in

parking structures, providing a website that offers real-time

space availability, floor-level capacity estimates, and

occupancy predictions. In this demo, we aim to share our

experiences in- developing a low-cost yet reliable smart

parking solution tailored for college campuses. (Hou et

al.,2020)

Quizon et al., (2017) in the study “Proposed Multi-Storey

Terminal Parking for PUJs to Alleviate Traffic Congestion in

Plaza Burgos, Guagua, Pampanga” highlighted that wherever

Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) are located, heavy traffic

congestion is means positioning them close together to a

terminal at Plaza Burgos Junction because of their high

volumes relates to an issue that is only necessarily parking.

The first complaint is about the absence of a permanent

terminal for public utility jeeps (PUJs) in Plaza Burgos, Guagua,

Pampanga whereas vehicles tend to park on road shoulders

thus causing traffic congestion to worsen. The study suggests

a multi-storey terminal parking building as the answer to solve

heavy traffic congestion and dedicated PUJ gathering area.

Urban areas constantly grow and push their boundaries, and

with this growth comes the challenge of accommodating an

increasing number of city residents and their vehicles.

(Bechthold, 2023). Vehicle parking is a major problem in urban

areas in both developed and developing countries. Following

the rapid increase of car ownership, many cities are suffering

from a lack of car parking areas with imbalance between

parking supply and demand which can be considered the initial

reason for metropolis parking problems. (Singh et al, 2021)

The Shree Sathyam College of Engineering and Technology in

Education (SSCET) campus parking area has been experiencing

challenges in the recent past. The necessity for traffic

evaluation and assessment is likely to improve for future

development of the Road Transport Network. Park their

vehicles nearly without overlapping. This has been great

problem where some car, bike parks their vehicles in two

parking spots they include student and staff at the campus this

project work will recommend an improvement of a parking

facility on the campus considering the current situation on the

campus student and staff at the campus have been

experiencing problems in getting where to park their vehicles.

However, sometimes the available parking spaces are often

occupied by outsiders. In this case, students and staff

members are forced to drive around the campus in search of

parking spaces. (Bhorkar et al., 2016).

Parking issues at educational institutions pose significant

challenges, particularly in urban schools like Marcelo H. Del

Pilar National High School in Bagong Bayan, City of Malolos,

Bulacan. The current parking spaces at the school mostly

accommodate faculty, leaving students and other staff to park

on the roadside or near the school gate. This irregular parking

disrupts traffic flow and creates safety hazards for both

motorists and pedestrians around the campus. Members are

forced to drive around the campus in search of parking spaces.

(Bhorkar et al., 2016).

In the Proposed Parking Facilities for the Local Heritage Site

of Iloilo City. Parking as part of an urban transportation

system is one of the crucial issues of government and private

business owners. The paragraphs that follow describe the

existing conditions of the declared heritage site. The main

road JM Basa Street has been used for parking by privately

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Bagongbayan, City of Malolos, Bulacan

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 6

owned vehicles. This main street is supposedly intended only

for running on moving vehicles. On certain lengths of this

street, the loading and unloading of Passengers on roads is

allowed. Thus, the parked vehicles decrease the width of the

road and cause traffic congestion. The nonexistence of parking

spaces allotted for motorcycles draws the motorcycle drivers

to park beside the private vehicles. The parking spaces

therefore are not fully maximized. Heavy and large-sized

trucks were also spotted parking on side-streets thereby

narrowing the streets. Other problems observed by the

research groups were a)Unregulated on-street parking

b)Absence of parking signs c) No lines drawn to separate the

parking area into stalls d) illegal vendors occupying the spaces

for curb-side or on street parking, and e) no provision for

separation of vehicle types (Lacsao.,et al 2014)

School parking lot safety is a crucial part of creating a safe,

welcoming environment for learning. When students, staff and

visitors come to your school, navigating where they need to go

and parking is the first step in their journey. With so many

people moving through an area and cars all around, it’s crucial

to have the right safety measures in place to protect each

person in your school parking lot. With 46% of students

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Bagongbayan, City of Malolos, Bulacan

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 7

getting to school by car, and half or more drivers admitting

they may be distracted while driving for a variety of reasons,

school parking lots and area streets are potentially dangerous

for students, staff and families. And particularly for high

schools, sleep-deprived teens can increase the risk. (Vanco,

2024).

At Marcelo H. Del Pilar National High School, implementing

these strategies could greatly improve parking conditions. The

school’s current parking layout forces students to park in

undesignated areas, increasing traffic near the school.

Designating proper parking areas for students would not only

reduce congestion but also improve safety for both students

and local residents. While expanding parking areas may also

bring environmental considerations into focus, managing these

concerns through structured planning would ensure that the

school environment remains safe and functional for everyone

involved.

Terminal Parking for PUJs to Alleviate Traffic Congestion in

Plaza Burgos, Guagua, Pampanga” highlighted that wherever

Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) are located, heavy traffic

Figure 1. Conceptual Framework

The figure above shows our research and proposed a study to

contribute a solution for the ongoing problem about the lack of parking

spaces in Marcelo H. Del Pilar National High School. The tools that we

will use to gather data is a survey that contains a 4-point likert scale to

measure how important a multi-purpose parking space is to different

peoples, such as: teachers, staff and students at Marcelo H. Del Pilar

National High School. In addition, interview guides with open-ended

questions were used to gather viewpoints and their experiences of the

teachers, students, staff as well as the experiences regarding the

visitors to Marcelo H. Del Pilar National Highschool. The data is

examined through the use of the measuring central tendency

alongside statistical analysis and identifying common themes together

with thematic analysis. With the data, the design of multi-purpose

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Bagongbayan, City of Malolos, Bulacan

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 13

parking space is based on standard laws while considering the

suggestions and opinions of the respondents.

Significance of the Study

The proposed multipurpose parking site at Marcelo H. Del Pilar

National High School holds considerable importance for the school

community and the surrounding area. The lack of free parking space

has led to congestion within the school premises, making it crowded

with vehicles during peak hours. This not only disrupts the smooth flow

of school activities but also contributes to traffic problems in the

surrounding areas, affecting students, staff, and the broader

community. Moreover, this study is beneficial to the following:

Teachers - This proposed parking site will help the teachers of

Marcelo H. del Pilar National High School by giving them a space to

park their vehicles in a more secluded and organized spot that will be

time efficient as well.

Students - This proposed parking site will be of help to the students

of Marcelo H. del Pilar National High School in the way of providing a

space for students to park their own vehicles in the parking site

resulting in a more productive schedule and space that will lessen their

chances of being tardy.

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 14

Visitors - The visitors of Marcelo H. del Pilar National High School will

be benefited by the proposed parking site as well, handing them a

place to park their vehicles in the school premises.

Future Researchers - And to our future researchers, this research

regarding the proposed parking site will benefit them in ways that will

make their research smoother, it will also give them more information

about the past regarding the pros and cons that they can add to their

research.

Scope and Delimitations

This study will focus primarily on the needs and

perspectives of school stakeholders, including students, teachers, staff,

and local school government members. The research aims to define

particular functions for a multi-purpose parking space, especially to

develop recommendations for optimizing its use to meet the needs of

the school and improve its overall function.

The purpose of this study is to explore the potential for using the

parking space for more than car storage, particularly during events

such as community gatherings. The study will analyze the feasibility of

using the space for events such as school fairs, parent meetings, or

local community gatherings.

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

This study will focus exclusively on the parking space at Marcelo H. Del

Pilar National High School. Data collection will be limited to the current

student body, teachers, staff, and local school government members.

Definition of Terms

In order to enhance understanding of the research, the advocates

accurately specified all words required.

Parking Space – An area used for the parking of motor vehicles

Methodology

Research Design

In this study, the target respondents are students, teachers, and staff

of Marcelo H. Del Pilar National High School. A purposive sampling technique

would be appropriate as it allows for focusing on individuals directly impacted

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Bagongbayan, City of Malolos, Bulacan

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 16

by the parking situation. According to Hou et al. (2020), a focused sample

enhances the reliability of results in studies requiring specific experiential

input, such as opinions on parking challenges.

Respondents and Sampling Technique

A Mixed-Method Qualitative and Quantitative Research was followed in

creating the research. Within mixed methods research, a key issue is how to

mix qualitative and quantitative research orientations (Ramlo et al.,2019). A

survey-questionnaire and interview will be conducted regarding the research.

A semi-constructed survey design was used. A semi-structured survey

was selected because it provides an accurate portrayal or account of

the respondent’s knowledge,experiences, wide opinions and

suggestions that will be well-detailed and precise through pre-made

and open ended questions alike.

Research Instrument

Survey-questionnaires and interviews were chosen as data

collection instruments. The information obtained through the

questionnaire is similar to that obtained by an interview. Questions in

the given survey-questionnaire are made detailed to capture

respondent’s elaborate answers. The survey questions should provide

reproducible results (reliable), measure what they are supposed to

measure (valid), and take less than 10 min to answer (Tait et al.,2019).

Questions were prepared for teachers, students and school personnel

specifically to acquire a diverse line of responses. Interviews will be

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Bagongbayan, City of Malolos, Bulacan

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 18

confidential. Respondents’ identity and privacy will be taken into

consideration and will be fully respected. Interview answers will be

attained through a recording device considering efficiency for both

parties.

Data Collection Procedure

Questionnaires will be personally distributed by researchers to

the respondents. Datas will not be rushed and will give respondents a

flexible time to give their answers. A one-on-one interview will be

conducted. Interviews will be short and precise, highlighting only the

focal points of the research.

Data Analysis

The data gathered will be thoroughly analyzed by the researchers.

Converted into percentages and collated in the form of tables, graphs, and

figures to make the data presentation meaningful. Data will solely be relied

on research questions and answers.

Data Scoring

The data scoring will follow a Likert scale approach, where

respondents rate their agreement on statements about parking

challenges and preferences on a scale of 1 to 5. Likert scales are

common in educational and social research for gauging subjective

 MARCELO H. DEL PILAR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 19

responses, as shown in Singh et al. (2021) in their study on parking

issues in urban areas. Each response will be assigned a numerical

value that allows for quantifiable analysis of trends across different

respondent groups.
