Landslide risk reduction and management in Bagulin, La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2024-05) Wal-it, Nesfena I.
Landslides pose significant threats due to their ability to occur suddenly which cause extensive damage. With this, disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) implementation addressing landslides in Bagulin, La Union was assessed focusing on the profile of the residents and the local DRRM management units; their level of adoption of DRRM strategies; and the problems encountered in implementing such.
This study used a descriptive research design utilizing survey method. The use of questionnaires was the primary tool in data gathering from a total of 390 respondents substantiated with informal interviews and secondary data.
The results showed that residents moderately adopted preparedness and response activities for
landslides, while DRRM implementers had a high extent of implementation of DRRM activities.
Problems encountered in the implementation of DRRM include limited budget for purchasing emergency supplies; weak implementation of zoning and land use plans and other institutional
and technical limitations. As a result, an action plan was proposed to aid local decision-makers.
Carbon stock assessment of the aboveground biomass of mangrove species in Bauang Bakawan Eco-Tourism Park, La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2024-05) Dumpit, Fatima Jean R.
Mangrove ecosystems are crucial in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon within their aboveground biomass. This study focuses on assessing the carbon stock of mangroves in Bauang Bakawan Eco-Tourism Park.
Using field method, five (5) quadrats were established as study sites. Mangrove species were identified by measuring their diameter at breast height. Diversity indices were computed using Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s. Frequency counts, means, and summation were used to analyze the data.
Results revealed a species richness of 7, with Kalapini as the most dense and a computed dominance of 0.22. The diversity index was computed at 0.68 (Simpson’s) and 1.63 (Shannon-Wiener). The mangrove eco-park has a computed total carbon stock of 19.36 tC/ha, with a significant difference between
Lumnitzera racemosa and Rhizophora species in the carbon sequestration. Kalapini was noted to produce the highest carbon stock (6.79 t/ha).
Environmental mitigation measures of selected poultry projects in the First District of La Union
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University- North La Union Campus, 2024-05) Buccat, Christian Jade N.
Poultry projects are among the industry that poses environmental impacts, hence, the need for mitigation measures. In this study, the environmental compliance of selected poultry projects in the first district of La Union is assessed.
Descriptive research design was used through the aid of questionnaire, supported by observations and informal interviews. Using quota sampling, four (4) ECC-issued poultry projects located in the four (4) municipalities and city were included in the study. Frequency counts, means, percentages, and median were used in the analysis of data.
Results show that ECC-issued poultry projects have high stock population. Environmental mitigation measures are adopted, however, there are still problems in its implementation. An environmental management plan was proposed to address the problems in the implementation of environmental
mitigation measures.
