Information and communications technology : an approach toward revitalizing Baguio Sunshine Park

Abstract

The use of technology is a rapidly growing and inevitable part of our lives. These technologies have impacted various aspects of our daily routines, including work, play, and interaction. Public parks and urban spaces have not been exempted from technological influence. This study aims to explore the role of information and communications tec (ICTs) in urban planning, particularly in designing public urban spaces in the information age. The study will focus on Sunshine park, located along Harrison Road, Baguio City, as it remains an open space for various activities but experiencing deterioration and obsolescence. The identification and analysis of ICT forms will aim to revitalize the urban park by using various ICT tools to regain its status as an attractive place. Furthermore, these ICT tools will cater to the changing needs of the community in the information age while still promoting social interaction and community engagement without promoting segregation among people.
