Barangay 33 Information System
CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction:
As one steps into the portals of another age, a new demand for new level of information arises. Planners and policy makers in the government and the private sector including the academe and research institutions rely heavily on the information available. The shift in the demand for national and regional-based statistics to small-area statistics grows with time as projects are more focused on countryside development and across sectors.
In recent years, local government planners focused their development plans across sectors in the community to maximize the use of resources. Thus, the need for detailed small-area statistics also rises as data input for situational analysis, planning and project identification to meet the need of families requiring priority action and attention.
Several attempts had already been done to generate information at the local level to address the need for sectoral development since the Local Government Code was implemented way back in 1991. Due to budgetary constraints however, statistical agencies limited the generation of information at the national and regional level and estimates for variables or indicators needed are often assumed to be the same at the provincial or municipal level. Despite the fact that the National Statistics Office produces barangay based information, it is restricted to population data.
Statistical information is a tool to acquaint people about the quantitative aspects of their community life and development. If no information will be available as the basis for planning at the local level, services required and development objectives will never be realized. Thus, the study of “Barangay Information System for Barangay 33 was formulated”.
Statement of the Problem:
The project has three phases namely:
1. Data Storage and Analysis of Existing Data
2. Data Generation and
3. Updating and Maintenance of the Database. Specifically this study will attempt to answer
