Barangay San Isidro in Taytay, Rizal lacks a clear visual identity and orientation cues that make it confusing for newcomers. The barangay contains landmarks but they are not well-placed or memorable. Roads have inconsistent widths, incomplete sidewalks, exposed canals, and potholes. There are also no proper terminals, waiting sheds, route signs or lighting. However, residents report being very familiar with the area and able to quickly direct people based on landmarks like government buildings and a church. A review finds the barangay has potential landmarks and accessible roads but needs improved paths, clearer edges and nodes, and development that considers the needs of both observers and residents.

Barangay San Isidro is within the district of Taytay. The barangay has no visual character
and differentiation that makes the place quite confusing but it contains many landmarks that
provide orientation cues and memorable locations and is accessible to a national road, the

and the directions are hard to remember. The roads inside the barangay has no exact width, it is
sometimes narrow and sometimes wider with incomplete broken sidewalk paths and exposed
canals. Other roads are uneven and have potholes. There were no proper terminal for trikes and
lacks of waiting sheds, route signs and lightings.

of the folks even know the barangay like back of their hand. Through a cooperative data gathering amongst the people who are
settling in Brgy. San Isidro, a common impression of the landmarks, districts, paths, edges and nodes are gathered.
Upon entering the Barangay, a person is welcomed with five (5) structures, four (4) of which is owned by the government
(Municipal Building, Fire Station, Police Station, gym of the barangay) and the other one (1) is church called St. John the Baptist
church. When asking for directions, a large number of people say that five (5) structures are the basis for a person’s way finding. But
some say gas stations, hospitals and even small stores such as 7 eleven are their basis. The people in Brgy. San Isidro says that their
barangay has a wide variety of landmarks that a person visiting the barangay for the first time will have no trouble in finding their
whereabouts.

one being us, observers, students who are studying architecture and has the knowledge to spot
the flaws in a barangay’s character. The other one are the people, people who does not judge
the character based on the rules, but judges it in terms of its comfortability on its users.
The combined image by both the observers and interviewees shows these following
data about the barangay (1) Landmarks, it has a plentiful number of major and minor landmarks
thus, people who are visiting for the first time may find themselves in the quickest route going to
their location. (2) Paths, The streets of the barangay has accessible road networks but some of
its streets lacks sidewalks. The major road which is the Ortigas extension gives the barangay an
opportunity for future development. (3) District, it is part of a district in Rizal that shows a
commonality in terms of characteristics of the barangay among other barangays. (4) Edges, The
edges of the barangay may not be clearly established but if we look closer, it shows that the
edges of the Barangay San Isidro are the subdivisions surrounding it and the major road adjacent
to it. (5) Nodes, The barangay mostly consists of residential dwellings and commercial
establishments, the only open space open for the public is the barangay hall which holds several
recreational facilities (e.g. basketball court, volleyball court).
By comparing and combining the data gathered from the observed and surveyed, we
can clearly establish the positive and negative aspects of the barangay. Knowing the positive
characters of the barangay will help not only by maintaining but also by improving it for a better
economy. The fixing of the negative characters will also help the barangay towards a better
community.
