A PROPOSED DAVAO CITY SPORTS COMPLEX
A Study on creating a pliable assembly venue through Sports Design and
Sustainable Development
ABSTRACT
Promoting physical activity is an important public health priority in which
sports plays and important role when it comes to imparting character values and
physical and mental well-being of a person. And it has always been an issue
regarding the unavailability of sports facilities and venues in Davao City. Wherein,
when the city host sports events, venues are being dispersed in different parts of the
city; some venues are located in the neighboring cities, which can cause
inconvenience to the athletes and audience.
People are discouraged to do physical activities, which is necessary to health,
due to the unavailability and inaccessibility of facilities to the public. And this sparks
the need to design sustainable sports facilities to moderate the intention of people to
be inclined into physical activities and sports participation creating a strong
advantage to the well-being of the public.
The sports complex is part of the sport and recreation sector that does not
only cater sports itself but an area open for other recreational activities. The study
focuses on how architecture can be used in creating pliable venues through sports
design and sustainable strategies in the area. The study aims to explore ways to
implement sustainable methods to the sports complex, apply different strategies for
pliable environment and to enhance social enrichment.
