<br/><br/> Abstract<br/>Rizal Boulevard of Dumaguete City is considered as the city's show window and<br/>landmark that welcomes every visitor coming into the city of gentle people via any sea<br/>vessel. It is the gateway to the city's economy and most importantly is a witness of<br/>Dumaguete's rich history and holds a big part in the city's provincial charm. However,<br/>special attention should be given to this popular waterfront, because if not, this haven for<br/>the Dumagueteños would slowly fade or worst, be gone forever. This city's breathing<br/>space, historical and cultural relic will be consumed and swept away by evolution and<br/>urbanization.<br/>The primary purpose of this research is to improve, re-create, and preserve<br/>Dumaguete City's Rizal Boulevard with the hope of bringing back the city's lost charm.<br/>This restoration program will mainly focus on expanding and redesigning Rizal<br/>Boulevard, with special consideration on the architectural character of the area.<br/>Reviewing and re-examining the waterfront's assets, potential and the people's shared<br/>value will eventually create a quality public realm that will contribute to people's health<br/>enjoyment and satisfaction.<br/>Literature documenting the history of Dumaguete City, especially Rizal<br/>Boulevard, has been reviewed. However, data gathered regarding the city's history are<br/>limited, a questionnaire survey has been employed, and face-to-face interviews and much<br/>fieldwork have been carried out. These survey and interviews had focused on the<br/>people's opinions and thoughts regarding the development. The overall data were<br/>analyzed and served as the basis for the proposal.<br/>Recognizing that Rizal Boulevard serves as one of Dumaguete's public<br/>destination for residents and tourists, this study will help revitalize the existing waterfront<br/>and provide essential amenities while retaining the historical value and character of the<br/>area. More so, this study will not only help to re-create and improve one of Dumaguete's<br/>distinguishing landmark but will also guide other neighboring cities and all small cities<br/>undergoing rapid development.
