Exercise No. 2

Situation Analysis of a Barangay

I. Introduction

Existing community profile can be used by barangay planners/development workers in

analyzing their situation. The data may include the barangay history, geographic
information, demographic, economic, social, institutional, communication,
transportation, and political information (Battad et. al. 2003). The data will serve as
benchmark information necessary in program planning and bases of comparison in
determining the impact of an extension program or project.

II. Objectives

During the barangay situation analysis, each student can

:
1. Gather benchmark information about the barangay and about the households
using an interview questionnaire.

After the situation analysis, each student can:

1. Tabulate, analyze and interpret the data gathered during the situation analysis

2. Make a written report on the data gathered i.e. evolution pattern of the barangay,
socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the households, their
technological and homemaking practices, communication access and exposure,
and information needs, institutional resources and existing government programs
and projects of the barangay.

III. Methodology

1. Identification of target site/area. Preliminary survey of the barangay will be

conducted to seek permission from the barangay officials regarding the proposed
community survey. The objectives of the activity shall be discussed thoroughly to
gain their support/approval. The schedule and time of the survey will be agreed
to ensure the availability of barangay/purok officials, the identified respondents
and other key informants during the survey. Ideally, the community must be
accessible, peaceful, and supportive to development initiatives so that future
plans can be implemented successfully.

2. Briefing. Each student will be provided with the questionnaire. Each item will be
discussed and terminologies must be agreed upon. Say for example, the source
of water supply such as deep well, piped, must be understood by everybody.

0
 The date, time of departure, assembly area, fare, and mode of transportation
must be agreed upon in advance by the students to ensure that all of the
students will not miss the activity.

The students will be grouped to a desired number (5 students/group) depending

on the total number of students enrolled in the class. Each group will select their
group leader who will be responsible in checking the attendance of the group
before departure to the area and immediately before leaving the area. The leader
will also be responsible in seeing to it that all members of the group will be able
to interview the desired number of respondents to be interviewed.

3. Data tabulation, analysis and data interpretation. During the next meeting
after the situation analysis, each group will tabulate the data gathered using the
dummy tables for exercise number 2.

Each group will be assigned a specific data to analyze and interpret by drawing
of lots. The data must be interpreted and will be reported in class for critiquing.
