ABSTRACT
Quarrying is any such working in the surface of the earth where minerals
are extracted. It is the process of digging the ground in order to get rocks, sands,
construction aggregates, gravel, riprap, slate, or other minerals.
This study focuses In the perceived impacts of quarrying on the residents
of Sitio Anginan, San Isidro, Montalban, Rizal. This aims to understand the
perceptions of the residents about the quarrying in their community. The scope of
this study will focus on the residents of Sitio Anginan who lives there for 5 years
and above. The theory underlying this study is the Utilitarianism , an ethical theory
that asserts that right and wrong are best determine
d by focusing on outcomes of actions and choices. Additionally, this study
used the IPO (Input, Process, Output) model for conceptual framework.
For this study, the researchers used local and foreign literatures. Based
on the study of Hugo (2024), the majority of the respondents in her study within
Davao City acknowledged the immense effect of quarrying on their supply of
groundwater. Additional effects, such as dust, water, and noise pollution, are
recorded to have minor impacts on the environment and residents. Additionally,
Tamayo (2023) investigation in Province of Isabela in Northern Philippines
yielded that among the five quarry sites, the social and environmental effects of
the gravel and sand quarrying operations which the respondents strongly agree
with their mean values were dust, and noise pollution, unproductive wastelands,
property damage, diversion of rivers stream and farming areas, soil erosion and
iii
sedimentation and surface water dust deposition. On the other hand, the most
common reported health-related problems experienced by the respondents was
respiratory problems such as cough and cold and asthma.
Qualitative research is the method used in this study. This involves
analyzing and collecting non-numerical concepts, experiences and opinions
which can be used to generate ideas and gather in depth insights into a problem.
The researchers decided to conduct this study in Sitio Anginan, San Isidro,
Montalban, Rizal. The subject of this study was the 30 (thirty) residents that have
5 and above years of residency in Sitio Anginan. This research used purposive
sampling. The researchers created a questionnaire that was validated by their
research teacher before conducting an interview and gathering information from
the primary source regarding their perceived impact of quarrying. After the survey
is the gathering of the data or the information from the respondents. Then the
interpretation of the datas or information that are gathered. Lastly, the
researchers will formulate the conclusion and recommendations.
The researchers concluded that some of the residents perceives quarrying
as the reason for the murky or blurry water, bumpy road, flood, dust, landslide,
and damage in the land and mountain. On the other hand, the others
experiences positive impacts of quarrying such as chances to work and
producing materials that can be used to build buildings and houses. While others
does not feel too much impact yet.
The researchers provided recommendations for the future readers. For the
residents, collaborate with others to control quarrying activities in the area and
iv
mitigate their impacts. For the policy makers, address illegal quarrying operations
and regulate those in Sitio Anginan, San Isidro, Montalban, Rizal. For the future
researchers, the findings in this study can be useful for their future research
about the perceived impacts of quarrying.
