What is a Marina?

A marina is a dock or basin with moorings and supplies for yachts and small boats. A marina differs from a
port in that a marina does not handle large passenger ships or cargo from freighters. The word marina is also used
for inland wharves on rivers and canals that are used exclusively by non-industrial pleasure craft such as canal
narrowboats.

Marina means a moorage of contiguous dwelling units that may be legally transferred as a single unit and
are owned by one person where four or more floating homes are secured, the primary purpose of which is to rent
space or keep space for rent to any person for a charge or fee. Marina means a public or private facility providing
boat moorage space, fuel, or commercial services. Commercial services include but are not limited to overnight or
live-aboard boating accommodations.

What activities are usually seen inside a Marina?

A marina may have refueling washing and repair facilities, marine and boat chandlers, stores and
restaurants. A marina may include ground facilities such as parking lots for vehicles and boat trailers. Slipways (or
boat ramps) transfer a trailered boat into the water.

A marina offers a safe place for boaters to store their boat in the form of moorings and boat slips. Mooring is
any structure in the marina to which the boat can be secured whereas boat slips are a specific kind of structure to
dock the boat. A marina slip is a single parking space for a vessel.

estuary where wetlands and fragile habitat can be damaged)
2. Is the history of storm winds, waves and floods known for the marina site?
3. If good wave protection is not available, can a cost-effective breakwater be built for the predicted storm
conditions? (note: Breakwater should not interrupt sediment processes and impact adjacent beaches)
4. Is the marina design engineer/architect licensed and specifically trained and experienced in successful
marina developments?

b. Water access (18%)- Boats must be able to get into safely and easily and out of the marina and docks. Similarly,

Minor Criteria (40%)

a. Orientation (9%)- This facility should be located reasonably close to the water to expedite the dispersal of rental
equipment and the performance of routine maintenance. However, careful consideration should be given to ensure
that the building is not located in an area subject to flooding or storm damage. The maintenance shop should have
ready access to the water by overhead crane, mobile equipment, or paved launching ramp to facilitate transporting
the boots from the water to the shop for repair. The lounge should be oriented with a view of the water, but late
afternoon and evening sun glare should be avoided if possible.

maintenance?
2. Does the design and orientation of the building optimized to maximize the view of the water while
minimizing the impact of sun glare?
3. Does the proximity to the water impact the overall customer experience and satisfaction with the rental
equipment facility?

5|Marina
b. Accessibility (9%)- Accessibility is the practice of making information, activities, and/or environments sensible,
meaningful, and usable for as many people as possible. A common example of accessibility that we have all likely
encountered, is in the context of architectural design. It ensures that buildings and spaces are designed to be usable
by people of all abilities, ages, and backgrounds. This includes features such as ramps, elevators, and braille
signage for people with physical disabilities, as well as wide aisles and ample lighting for people with visual
impairments.
1. Can accessibility in architectural design improve the overall user experience for all individuals?
2. Does the potential social and economic benefits of implementing accessibility practices in various
environments is important in the site?
3. Accessibility in architectural design contributes to a more inclusive and diverse society?

c. Safety and Security (5%)- proactive approach that anticipates—and then protects—the building occupants,
resources, structure, and continuity of operations from multiple hazards.
1. Is it important to involve building occupants in the planning and execution of a proactive approach to
hazard protection?
2. Does technology can be utilized to enhance a proactive approach to protecting building occupants and
resources from hazards?
3. Does the purpose of a proactive approach in building protection is to ensure the safety of occupants and
resources to the site?

d. Climate Condition (5%)- The climate responsive design refers to the architecture that reflects the region-specific
weather conditions of the peculiar area. It uses data of weather patterns and factors like sun, wind, rainfall, and
humidity. The building structure is built according to the same.
1. Does the role of the sun path is relevant in climate responsive design of marina?
2. Does the purpose of climate responsive design helps to create buildings that are adaptable changing
weather conditions?
3. Does the climate responsive design aims to create “marina” sustainable to the environment?

e. Visual/aesthetic values (3%)- one of the principal aspects considered in architecture. The appeal of a building
covers the combined effects of a building's shape, size, texture, color, balance, unity, movement, emphasis, contrast,
symmetry, proportion, space, alignment, pattern, decoration, culture, and context.

1. The appeal of a building covers the combined effects of a building's shape, size, texture, color, balance,
unity, movement, emphasis, contrast, symmetry, proportion, space, alignment, pattern, decoration, culture, and
context.
2. The culture and context influence the overall appeal of a Marinas design.
3. Does the concept of movement influence the visual appeal of a building?

f. Functionality (5%)- the form of a building should be determined by practical considerations such as use, material,
and structure, as distinct from the attitude that plan and structure must conform to a preconceived picture in the
designer’s mind.

1. Does balance can be achieved between practical considerations and the designer's vision when
determining the form of a building?

2. Does the choice of materials affect the form of a building when it comes to marina?

3. Does cultural and societal influences can be relevant in determining the form of a “MARINA”, and interact
with its practical considerations?

6|Marina
g. Vehicular Circulation and Parking (4%)- for calculating the number of launching ramps on small bodies of water
is indicated below.

Water skiing- One boat per five acres of water. Assume that a maximum of 10 percent of total boots in water will be
involved in water skiing. However, water skiing and fishing are incompatible activities in the same area of the water
body.
Fishing or pleasure boating- One boat per two acres of water.
Canoes or rowboats- One boat per acre of water.
*Each ramp can handle 40 launchings per day.

1. Can water skiing and fishing be conducted in this area/location of a small body of water, or are they
considered incompatible activities?

2. Does the design of the marina in this location have a circulation and parking system contribute to the
overall safety of a development?

3. Does the factors in the locations must be considered when designing a parking/access/circulation system
to ensure convenience for users?

vi. Soil Type & Geology

The City’s 2000 Comprehensive Land Use Plan indicates that “in terms of
geologic and foundation stability in the mountainous area, there are no limitations as to
what type of structure may be built within the City. It further suggests that “due to the very

11 | M a r i n a
stable and hard character of the rocks on the mountainous regions, earthmoving of this large mass to a flatter slope
would indicate a very high cost due to the difficulty in ripping rocks”.

Hydrosol. This miscellaneous land type is found in the coastal region bordering the China Sea. It consists of soils
underwater throughout the year where mangroves and nipa palms grow. It is found quite extensively in Olongapo,
Masinloc, Candelaria, and Sta. Cruz. It is also found in limited areas in Palauig, Iba, and Subic. This type of land is at
present being utilized as salt beds, fishponds, and in the growing of nipa palms and mangroves.

Soil Formation. Hydrosols are soils that are saturated with water for long periods of time—typically a grey (or
greenish grey) color. This soil type covers less than 1% of the state and is mainly found near coastal areas.

vii. Topography. Olongapo City has a total land area of 18,500 hectares. Areas classified as alienable, and
disposable were at 1,632.55 hectares. An Interchangeably used term for the watershed, forest, and timberland was
6,714.77 hectares of land (DENR LC Map 3635). The area would be much larger if land classified as disputed is
included at 9,217.35 hectares. Areas of disputed areas with 3 municipalities, namely Dinalupihan, Bataan,
Floridablanca, Pampanga, and Subic, Zambales are mostly within the upland portion of the City’s boundaries.

vii. Utilities

Marinas typically offer a range of amenities and services to cater to the needs of boat owners, visitors, and the
boating community. While the specific amenities can vary depending on the size, location, and target clientele of the
marina, here are some common amenities you can find in a marina:

Boat Slips: Marinas provide designated spaces called boat slips or berths where boats can be docked and
secured. These slips may have features like power and water hookups to facilitate boat maintenance and
convenience.

Fueling Stations: Marinas often have fuel docks where boats can refuel with gasoline, diesel, or other
necessary fuels. This allows boaters to conveniently access fuel without needing to travel to external fuel stations.

Pump-Out Facilities: Many marinas provide pump-out stations where boaters can safely dispose of waste
from their marine sanitation devices, such as holding tanks or portable toilets. This helps protect the water quality of
the marina and surrounding areas.

12 | M a r i n a
 Boat Launch Ramps: Marinas with suitable waterfront access may have boat launch ramps that allow
boaters to easily launch their boats into the water and retrieve them after use. These ramps are especially useful for
trailered boats.

Dry Storage: Some marinas offer dry storage facilities where boats can be stored out of the water when not
in use. This can be in the form of boat sheds, racks, or storage yards. Dry storage helps protect boats from the
elements and reduces maintenance requirements.

On-Site Repair and Maintenance Services: Larger marinas often have workshops or facilities where boat
repairs, maintenance, and servicing can be carried out. These services may include engine repairs, hull
maintenance, electrical work, or sail repairs.

Restrooms and Showers: To provide basic amenities to boaters and visitors, marinas typically have
restroom facilities with toilets and sinks. Showers may also be available, allowing boaters to freshen up after a day on
the water.

Wi-Fi and Internet Access: Many marinas now offer Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing boaters and visitors to
access the internet while at the marina. This can be useful for communication, planning, or entertainment purposes.

Restaurants and Cafes: Some marinas have on-site restaurants, cafes, or snack bars where boaters and
visitors can enjoy a meal or grab a quick bite. These establishments may offer both indoor and outdoor seating with
views of the water.

Shops and Chandlery: Marinas often feature shops or chandleries that sell boating supplies, equipment,
marine accessories, and maintenance products. These stores cater to the needs of boaters, offering a convenient
source for essential boating items.

Recreational Facilities: Depending on the size and location, marinas may include recreational amenities
such as swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness centers, playgrounds, or picnic areas. These facilities enhance the
overall experience for boaters and visitors.

 x. Solar Analysis. Sun-path is the apparent significant seasonal-and-hourly positional changes of the sun
(and length of daylight) as the Earth rotates and orbits around the sun. Understanding the sun path is essential in
protecting the environment and saving energy through passive building design. Sun-path analysis predicts the
daylight experience at any building plot, helping us to design and orientate a building to make the most of sunlight
and solar gains.

xi. Wind Analysis. Wind analysis is the evaluation of the dynamic effect of wind on a structure and is used
for optimizing designs to best mitigate these effects. Wind direction, frequency and speed will influence the building
design including weather tightness detailing, entry locations, size and placement of windows, selection of roof and
wall cladding, bracing requirements, and provision of shelter in outdoor spaces.

15 | M a r i n a
 xii. Sound pollution. Noise protection can be achieved by locating noise compatible land uses between the
building environment and the marina. Whenever possible, compatible uses should be nearest the noise source.
Noise coming from the road is avoided.

16 | M a r i n a
 xiii. Wildlife. The sea turtle, locally called as pawikan, is an endangered species that may be found in
Zambales province, along with green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and hawksbill sea turtles (Eretmochelys
imbricata).

xiv. Circulation (Paths, Movements through landscape). The existing pedestrian, vehicular access and road
layout that surrounds the site is shown.

Circulation System: Conventional Cul-de-sac pattern

A local road connected to the existing road network at only one end with a special provision for turning
around at the closed end. A cul-de-sac is the end of a dead-end street or alley that widens to provide a circular
turnaround for vehicles. A cul-de-sac consists of two or three circular line features, depending on your input values.
The main circular feature is centered on the end of the selected centerline with a radius that you specify.

Traffic Data Collection and Analysis

17 | M a r i n a
b. Analysis of users

The clientele of a marina can vary depending on factors such as the marina's location, size, amenities, and
the types of services it offers. Here are some common categories of clientele that can be found at marinas:

Boat Owners: The primary clientele of marinas are boat owners who use the marina to store and maintain their
boats. They may own various types of boats, including powerboats, sailboats, yachts, or personal watercraft.

Recreational Boaters: Many marinas attract recreational boaters who visit the marina for leisure activities such as
boating, fishing, watersports, or cruising. These individuals may not own boats but rent or charter vessels from the
marina for a specific period.

Liveaboards: Some marinas cater to individuals who live aboard their boats on a full-time or part-time basis.
Liveaboards may have long-term or permanent slip rentals, and the marina provides them with facilities and services
for comfortable living on their vessels.

Transient Boaters: Transient boaters refer to individuals or families who are passing through an area and need a
temporary place to dock their boats for a short period. Marinas with guest or transient slips accommodate these
boaters, providing them with temporary mooring and access to marina facilities.

Yacht Clubs and Sailing Associations: Marinas often host yacht clubs or sailing associations, which are groups of
boat owners and enthusiasts who share a common interest in sailing, racing, or socializing. These organizations may
have regular meetings, events, and races at the marina.

Fishing Enthusiasts: Marinas located in areas known for fishing may attract a clientele of fishing enthusiasts. These
individuals use the marina as a base for their fishing expeditions and may require facilities such as fish cleaning
stations, bait shops, or access to charter fishing services.

Boating Service Providers: Marinas can also have clients in the form of businesses or contractors that provide
services to boat owners and the boating community. This includes boat mechanics, marine electricians, boat
detailers, yacht brokers, sailing schools, or charter companies that operate from the marina premises.

General Visitors: Marinas are often popular destinations for general visitors who come to enjoy the waterfront
atmosphere, dine at on-site restaurants, or simply watch the boats and the marine activities. These visitors may not
be boat owners themselves but appreciate the ambiance of the marina.

c. Assessment of site potential

Marinas are normally located in areas where boating activity is already present or where there is
substantiated demand for such facility. The marina site should have an adequate catchment population for financial
viability, drawing from a suitable socio-economic area. It should be readily accessible by land and sea so that
resident berth holders and visiting yachtsmen will find it convenient. Those marinas located adjacent to urban areas
will have the greatest chance of success as the marina and the town will potentially benefit from each other’s activity.

There is no ideal size for a marina. The number of berths will be influenced by factors including catchment
population, proximity to cruising routes, existing boating activity and physical constraints on available area.

The popularity of water and coastal tourism is steadily increasing. Marinas, a vital part of water tourism
activity, are complex organizations including heterogeneous business structures with numerous suppliers of various
tourist services. Their purpose is to ensure the provision of those amenities, which are collectively referred to as
‘marina services.’ Some authors define [Paker N., Orams M., Lueck M.] a marina as a specially designed harbor with
moorings for pleasure yachts and small boats. From a tourism development perspective, marinas can be
characterized as coastal destinations and analyzed through the prism of place marketing. When evaluating marinas,
it is essential to take into consideration what marina visitors seek . Marinas are the most advanced form of

18 | M a r i n a
specialized tourist ports and are expressly built for nautical tourism in well-protected areas. Along with berths and
ancillary technical services, these marinas offer a wide range of accommodation, dining, shopping, entertainment,
and leisure facilities to provide a ‘resort atmosphere’.

Even though marinas contribute to the diversification of tourism flows, developing niche tourism is crucial to
creating a unique selling proposition oriented toward sustainable tourism. Strengthening the coherence of tourist
demands and residents’ recreational interests is a helpful measure for marinas to stand out in a competitive
environment. Two forces drive the transition to sustainable tourism and the practical application of its principles: the
goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2018) and the search for the optimal balance of tourism at
national and local levels. The latter includes the involvement of cities, protected areas, businesses, and communities,
as well as the growing awareness of visitors. The scientific sources [Bevenolo C., Spinelli C., Kovačic M., Silveira L.,
Tosun N.] on marina development in different countries focus on the overall growth of water tourism and the
development of tourism-related infrastructure. However, some issues remain overlooked.

d. Assessment of Possibilities

The site has been used as a resort and hotel. The site is surrounded by establishments such as resorts, and
markets that may help the Marina to attract customers. The navigable routes are safe. The water requirement of
Barangay where the site is located is supplied by a deep well in San Isidro.

Marine tourism emerged as an indispensable issue in researching oceans and coastal areas. M. Orams [9]
defines marine tourism as “those recreational activities that involve travelling away from one’s place of residence and
whose focus is the marine environment” and refers to the latter as “those waters that are saline and affected by the
tide”. This definition also lists the related activities: scuba diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, fishing, watching sea
mammals and seabirds, the cruise and ferry industry, all beach activities, sea kayaking, visits to coastal villages and
fishing lighthouses, Maritime museums, sailing and motor boating, maritime events, and Arctic and Antarctic tourism
which increases the value of tourism of a country that helps to its economic status.

The concept of maritime tourism includes all tourism activities related to the sea and the coasts and is one
of the fastest-growing segments of maritime activity, which has been rapidly developing worldwide and by developing
a Marina which has a recreational value, an opportunity for opening our country for more tourists can be achieved.

Maritime tourism grows faster compared to the primary tourism industry. There are two main reasons for
this: first, recreational and entertainment activities; second, specific venues that are popular destinations for water
tourism enthusiasts.

e. Impact Assessment (Natural and Visual Environment)

Changes to the site have occurred because of Marina construction, such as tree felling and excavation.
These changes and activities in the marina may have an impact on the environment. The Marina may contribute to
pollution and overcrowding in coastal commercial areas. Marinas and boating activities can potentially contribute to
nonpoint source pollution. Solvents, oils, paints, and cleaners used to maintain and repair boats may seep into
bodies of water or enter through runoff. Spilled fuel or unburned engine fuels can also pollute or poison the waters
near the marina. Noise and sound produced by the activities in marina may disrupt animal communication, mating
behavior, foraging behavior, and spatial orientation on land and in aquatic habitats.

The global tourism industry is undergoing some substantial changes. The advance in new technologies and
the targeting of a skilled and demanding consumer base means that hospitality organizations and destinations need
new marketing and management tools to meet the expectations of modern tourists and the industry’s growing
requirements for innovation. Tourism can contribute to this objective by giving intangible water heritage sites a
tangible economic value (besides environmental) to help preserve them and any connected water-based ecosystems
and biodiversity. Water-based experiences are potential solutions to preserve the environment and the economic
value of water and its tangible and intangible heritage. Marina services are part of marine tourism so that they can be
viewed in the context of water-based experiences.

B. MACRO/ MICRO SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Threats)
ANALYSIS
MICRO
S- Existing buildings adjacent to the site are Hotels and Resorts and other tourism establishments. These would
