Environmental consequences of Batangas Port expansion on adjacent communities.
Date
1997
Abstract
The study was conducted to review the major environmental impacts of Batangas Port Expansion and assess the perceptions of the affected communities on the project. The unit of analysis was the port's adjacent barangays. Perception survey conducted with the residents of adjacent barangays showed that majority of the respondents perceived the project to be beneficial. On the issue of relocation, the affected families preferred nearer relocation area and higher financial assistance.In general, the EIA methodology employed by the proponent was inadequate in so far as capturing the crucial component of the EIA process which is social acceptability and participation.It is therefore recommended to incorporate public participation as early as the planning stage of the project and determine its social acceptability prior to its implementation.
