ABSTRACT
` Road and highway construction have been crucial in every country’s economic
improvement are sought after. However, a construction project can affect many things,
including the life of people around it and its environment. Assessment of environmental
and social risks can be a way to lessen their impact and ensure the safety of the people.
Hence, this study aims to determine the perspective of the affected households within the
500-meter radius along the newly constructed Central Luzon Link Expressway (Phase 1)
located in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija, and assess their environmental and social risk
experiences. Data gathering was divided into face-to-face survey questionnaires and mail
survey methods using google forms. A total of 131 households participated in the survey.
Results show that the affected residents are informed and satisfied with the construction
project. And the affected population experience environmental and social risks during

The Perspective of the Affected Residents in the Newly Constructed Central Luzon
Link Expressway (Phase 1) Particularly in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija: A Basis for Safe Road
CHAPTER I
The construction of roads and highways has been a critical component of any
country's economic and social growth. As a result, highway construction and road
improvement projects are in great demand. On the other hand, construction projects can
have a wide range of consequences, including the different aspects of the lives of those
nearby and the environment. Hence, this study addresses the people's perspective, which
is mainly affected by the expressway construction project, and how it affects them
socially and environmentally. Further, this study imparts the people's experiences with
the expressway construction project, which can help us anticipate a solution to lessen its
economic development. An expressway is a vital piece of infrastructure that can solve the

two or more traffic lanes. It was designed for fast traffic, with controlled entry and exit
and a splitting strip between traffic in opposite directions. Expressways have frequently
been developed over new courses, traveling near but not through densely populated areas
and on direct paths between intended termini. High speed, improved welfare, comfort and
accommodation for drivers and guests, and lower vehicle operating costs are just a few
advantages.

According to R. A. Rahman et al. (2020), highways are public roads that connect
cities or towns. The study entitled Factors affecting the success of highway construction
projects: the case of Malaysia stated that "Highways play a significant role in a country's
economic activities by allowing the rapid delivery of people and goods to meet regional
demands. Furthermore, highway projects are often inevitably recognized as high-risk than
other construction projects due to their importance to a nation's economic, societal, and
political development".

on well-being and poverty is complicated, and little known about how communities
The roads influence people and the environment in both positive and negative
effect. R Siy (2021) reported that you are likely to experience increased noise and air
pollution if you live near the expressway. Living adjacent to EDSA or one of the
horns, and tire contact against the pavement will provide constant noise. However, air
pollution is the greatest detrimental effect. Aside from the poisonous gases created by
fossil-fuel vehicles, increased particulate matter in the air (from engine exhaust and

microplastics released from brake pads and tires during vehicle operation) has been
The adverse effects are mainly environmental; the roads occupy land resources
and form barriers to animals. They also impact natural water resources and discharge
areas. Noise, dust, and vibrations are the three most damaging effects of road
construction and management. During the Road Construction phase, noise mostly
happens, but it can also occur to a lower degree during maintenance operations. Dust is
created during the road construction of gravel roads and loose gravel. Uneven road

other effects will result from road buildings such as expressways. Dust may accumulate
on the road surface, also it may reduce the river's flood discharge capacity, and bridge
and culvert projects may change due to vegetation and soil changes induced by roadbed
excavation or landfill.
The government's primary concerns are the environmental and social impact of
projects and innovative strategies to resolve environmental and social risks in an urban
area. Road improvement can significantly affect the region by promoting economic

Risks do not always bring adverse effects. Identifying these risks and classifying
them can cause increased profits, build good relationships with clients or investors for
more opportunities, and expand into new markets and sectors. Identifying project risk
helps identify as many scenarios as possible that could negatively impact the project.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology plays a vital role in all research studies. This chapter of the
study elaborates on the methods used by the researcher to come up with a valid and
scientific result. Chapter II includes research design, the locale of the study, the
population of the study, research instrument, data gathering, and data analysis and
technique.
Research Design
The study used the descriptive research method utilizing an instrument from the
perspective of the affected residents in the newly constructed Central Luzon Link
Expressway (Phase 1), particularly in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija, as the significant source of
collection of data with survey questionnaires. The descriptive method also includes
observation, appraising materials, processes, and conditions of a system used in the study.
This study gathered data from the selected households affected by the construction of the
Central Luzon Link Expressway (Phase 1), particularly in Aliaga, Nueva Ecija.
The study was conducted at the affected barangays located in Aliaga, Nueva
Ecija. Primarily, this study will focus on the affected households within the 500-meter
radius along the Central Luzon Link Expressway (Phase 1). Specifically, this study
covers the affected households at Barangay La Purisima, Poblacion West IV, Poblacion
Centro, Poblacion East I, Poblacion East II, Pantoc, Bucot, San Juan and Betes and
Umangan.

Data Gathering
The researchers prepared a letter of request to perform the research survey. Upon
approval, the researchers carry out the survey. The researchers asked residents within the
500-meter radius along the Central Luzon Link Expressway (Phase 1) to participate to the
survey.
The beginning of the survey was all about the respondents' demographic profile,
such as family members and estimated monthly family income. The next part of the
survey was on the respondents' knowledge and satisfaction with the expressway
construction project. Further, the survey dealt with the environmental risks experienced
by the respondents during and after the road construction projects. The questions were on
14
a five-point Likert scale. Lastly, the respondents were asked if they encountered social
risk during and after the expressway construction and defined those experiences.
The study used the Qualitative Data Analysis method to analyze non-numeric
information responses gathered. The mean formula was used to describe the results of the
environmental risks encountered by the respondents. The Pearson-r correlation was used
to determine the significant relationship between the monthly family income of the
respondents and the environmental risks encountered by the participants, as well as the
