| dc.description.abstract | There seems to be a general, unplanned aspect to 'the current trends in city growth which stretches outward in a seemingly uncontrollable manner, as exemplified by the proliferation of low-density housing, the lack of strong sub-centers, and the rise of "strip development" even as road networks remain inadequate. These phenomena all contribute to what is known as urban sprawl. This study endeavors to construct an index for sprawl for Metropolitan Manila by assembling many variables reduced through principal components analysis for its seventeen cities and municipalities. Rankings were formulated in terms of these derived sprawl factors and the overall sprawl index, which were then regressed with several transportation outcomes representing measures of quality of life. Regressions with the overall index reveal that the percentage of households who own cars and the share of commuters who take public transportation decrease as the incidence of sprawl increases. Individual regressions with the sprawl factors meanwhile point to density and land use mix as dimensions of sprawl which exhibit significant relationships with car ownership and walking, and public transportation respectively. | |
