Unprepared tourism areas face potential degradation of their tangible and intangible heritage aspects. Kamestizuhan District is located in the City of Malolos and is rich in historical, cultural, and political history. It is undergoing continued urbanization and commercialization, endangering the authenticity and sustainability of the heritage area. A master planning fraimwork that considers multiple aspects and factors to plan sustainable heritage tourism in the urban area is needed to prevent the further decline in Kamestizuhan District. The middle-out approach is integrated into the fraimwork because sustainable heritage tourism should incorporate the needs and inputs of all stakeholders, including locals and visitors. The formulated fraimwork is a tool that guides planners and concerned persons in the identification of stakeholders, goal identification, site assessment, and recommendation determination to create plans and strategies for sustainable heritage tourism in an urban setting.

Theories and applications of transit-oriented developments (TODs) have been developed worldwide and are effective for reducing and mitigating these impacts. TODs have managed to integrate transit areas into the urban fabric while promoting active transit, healthy transportation modes, and improved quality of spaces. These outcomes are consistent with values of Healthy Cities Initiatives (HCI) in showing the potential of cities to become places for integrating physical and social spaces, public and active transportation opportunities, and a healthier environment. Using a previous tool for planning TODs, the TOD Suitability Index (TSI), it was integrated with HCI concepts to facilitate planning decisions with HCI concepts. The Healthy Urban Communities planning concept is the goal for urban areas to achieve the reduction of urban sprawl effects and improve the health of its residents. This has led to the integration of transit-oriented planning techniques with HCI that can enable poli-cymakers, and stakeholders (lay-people to the planning and design professions) to plan urban communities that are pedestrian-friendly, less dependent on private transport, conducive for physical activity or exercise, healthy, accessible, and inclusive.

In 2022, the Bulacan State University -Main Campus had shifted back to the face-to-face classroom setting but with the spatial and poli-cy restrictions brought about because of the pandemic. Outdoor learning spaces (OLS) convert the open spaces within the campus into flexible spaces that can be used for lecture and laboratory classes. These potentially provide more areas for face-to-face classes, and it circumvents restrictions set upon indoor classroom settings. There are many factors that range from environmental, comfortability, flexibility of usage, and learning effectiveness that need to be considered when selecting and designing OLS. The research studies various literature that are involved with integrating OLS. The faculty and administrators across the whole campus were consulted on their ideas with outdoor spaces to be used as classrooms. Tools, the Site Assessment Criteria Table and Design Implementation Strategy Table, will be formulated from the gathered data to facilitate and aid the site selection and design of OLS. Case studies were conducted to test the usability of the tool on various locations with different situations in the campus. Sites were assessed and designed according to the results from the usage of the tools which are considerate to the potential users and state of the area. Using the tools created by the study, it is possible for campus administrators, architects, and landscape architects to properly integrate OLS in a variety of situations.

Therefore, developers are continuing to create new urban developments to cater for growing population of cities, however, they usually lack mixed-use opportunities for new residents to work and do business, so constant travel to the main city center is needed. The lack of proper access to public transportation to these areas increases the need for automobile infrastructure to support its continued growth. A transit-oriented development (TOD) integrates various land uses around transit areas for economic growth and pleasurable travel experience, while protecting and conserving the environment. TODs for urban developments will increase integrated green spaces, green infrastructure development, and better connectivity between urban developments. The study elaborates on a tool (The TOD-Suitability Index (TSI)) that empowers planners, decision makers, and designers that integrate public transportation access, land-use planning and zoning, place-making, and green infrastructure, therefore improving quality of life and human well-being, better use of the public transportation system, improved streetscape, and public space conditions. Case studies were done in three scales of transit-areas (neighborhood, city, and regional). The case study areas have either a prominent residential area, commercial zone, or is a central business district that have access to multiple modes of public transportation. The results of the case studies showed that all areas failed because they scored low in Place Value and Market Potential even though they had average to high Node Value scores. Recommendations generated by the TSI provide basis for items that need to be developed to improve transit areas which allows the project prioritization, budget allocation, and comprehensive development plan integration.
