THE PROBLEM AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Introduction
In today’s generation where fashion and pop-culture are a popular thing,
there’s no doubt a lot of individuals will be dying just to buy things that are desired
by many. Things that are well-accepted and seen as fashionable by numerous people.
But since these things may be costly and expensive, people tend to be looking for
budget friendly things or items, and to be able to pace with the latest style in a
cheapest way possible. Taytay, Rizal a district where Taytay Tiangge is located is
the place to answer what people are longing for. Providing people with products that
are cheap and popular, helping both the customer in their desires and the vendors in
their business, Taytay Tiangge is it.
However, the increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge caused heavy traffic
in few places in Taytay that concerns not only the local government, but also drivers,
commuters and fellow civilians around the area. Lowering the profit of working
drivers due to fuel consumption and time delay, ruining the schedule of drivers and
commuters attending to work and going to school, and destroying the image of the
local government of Taytay especially those responsible of dealing with the traffic
are some of the observed problems.
In this study, the researchers aimed to find what are the certain reasons for
these phenomena happen. This research presented the ways to maximize advantages
2
and minimize disadvantages of the Taytay Tiangge by giving information to people
about the traffic condition in Taytay. In order to do all these, interview was conducted
to selected individuals in Taytay who had experienced, in one way or the other, the
effects of the increasing popularity of the known Taytay Tiangge. This research
includes the experiences of drivers, students, civilians, commuters, buyers, vendors
and traffic enforcers who also gave their opinions, thoughts and theories about the
increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge and the effect it brought to them.
Statement of the Problem
The purpose of this study is to know the perception of the respondents on
increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge and its effect to the traffic and day-to-day
life of the people. Specific question that sought answer are the following:
1. How has the Taytay Tiangge helped the municipality of Taytay?
2. What is the effect of the increasing number of Tiangge to the traffic flow
in the Municipality of Taytay?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Tiangge in the day to
day life of the people?
4. What measures can be done or implemented to reduce the traffic in the area
without compromising the Taytay Tiangge?

Figure 1 Conceptual Framework
The conceptual framework of the investigation represents the input consisting
of respondents - drivers that cross through Taytay, residents around the Taytay area,
vendors scattered around the Tiangge, commuters who travel to Taytay, and
enforcers who take care of the flow of traffic in Taytay. We also include their profile
and information/data that we will collect from them. The process shows the
procedure used to gather data. The research used direct interview to respondents. The

output shows the perception of respondents on the effect of Tiangge to the traffic
flow and day-to-day life of the people of Taytay. Possible solutions are offered
coming from first-hand individuals who are directly affected by the problem
presented in this study.
Significance of the study
The researchers believe that the result of this study would be beneficial to the
following:
To the Vendors
This study can give additional information to expand their understanding on
the land transportation system, which can help them decide where it is more efficient
to sell their goods.
To the Drivers
The information that this study would provide could also aid the drivers in
predicting when the travel time would be shorter and information on how they will
help to lessen the traffic.
To the Residents
To give information about the traffic flow in Taytay and effects of Taytay
Tiangge to the people and to the municipality of Taytay and additionally how they
will help to lessen the traffic in Taytay Tiangge.

5
To the Local Government Unit
The local government would have less traffic management issues when the
roads that the Tiangge shoppers use flow more freely because of the new mindset
that the people would have if they applied the information this research would offer.
To the Future Researchers
To gather information on how Taytay Tiangge affects the flow of traffic in
Taytay and the daily lives of people around Taytay.
`Scope and Delimitation
This study aims to provide information on how the popularity of the Taytay
Tiangge affects the way of life by looking into its effect on the traffic and day-to-day
living of the people in Taytay. This study does not cover the entire problem on the
traffic but rather on the first-hand experiences of respondents and how they are
affected with it. The interview conducted to gather information was limited to
drivers, residents, vendors, commuters and enforcers who has direct involvement in
the study. This study presented only the current situation and does not generalize the
scenario.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter includes related literature and studies relevant to the topic. It
presents written works like literature, studies, principles and theories of different
reputable people that were used by the researchers to give profound basis and support
to the topic under study.
Flea Market (Tiangge) and its Advantages and Disadvantages
Based on Market Business News (n.d.), flea market is an outdoor market with
stalls that sell nearly new or old goods cheaply. In some places, a flea market sells
very old furniture or antiques. In others, it is an outdoor market that sells old things
at a discount. Regardless of how the term’s meaning may vary, in most cases, it is an
outdoor market that sells cheap things. Sometimes, the market may have an indoor
venue, such as a school gym or warehouse.
Why is it called a flea market? As stated by Matt Soniak (2012), one idea
historian have is that flea market comes from the outdoor bazaars of Paris, some of
which have been around for hundreds of years. According to the association that runs
one of the markets today, the term first sprang up in the 1880s when an unknown
bargain hunter looked upon the market with its rags and old furniture and dubbed
it le marché aux puces (“market of fleas”), because of shoppers’ perceptions that
some of the more time-worn wares sold there carried the little bloodsuckers. The first
8
recorded appearance in English that the Oxford English Dictionary lists, from 1922,
makes reference to this origin.
As explained by the Chorrbazaar (2016), the advantages of flea markets are
the following:
Building Neighborhoods
Much of the steadiness from the present flea market and swap meet industry
can be related to its dedicated vets as well as the permanence of many marketplaces.
From the markets interviewed, 70% of have already been open up for over 21 years.
38% from the supervisors surveyed have been operating that marketplace for more
than 12 years. Of suppliers, 50Percent indicated they have been in the industry for
over ten years.
A powerful mutual desire for free business, becoming a self-determining
business owner, and pursuing the American Dream pulls people with each other
within the flea industry. This connection keeps communities together and allows for
person market and vendor longevity.
Technologies Use
Flea Market Industry, despite the overall healthful state of flea market
financials and developments in systems applicable to promote owners and vendors,
this year’s study outcomes indicate technology usage has plateaued in some areas.
The majority of suppliers surveyed resource their wholesale items on the internet
(66%), and even more prefer to location orders through web sites versus email or
9
phone (85%). However, few individual vendors utilize the internet and social media
for their own marketing. Of vendors interviewed, 60Percent do not possess any social
media existence. Of the 40% that do use social networking, all use Facebook
exclusively. 82% of vendors do not have an internet site. Of the 82%, 87% usually
do not plan on ever having one. In contrast, 86% of marketplace proprietors and
managers noted having an active Facebook web page for his or her business.
Few retailers are making use of online marketing; however, a heightened
quantity of vendors is making use of conventional actual physical marketing and
advertising ways. 30 percent of suppliers have Put shows at their booths. 28% are
marketing and advertising with paper prints – a 20Percent increase from 2015’s
results. Vendors are marketing to shoppers already at the swap meet or market, but
not marketing their products outside of their markets to draw shoppers in. That’s the
conclusion.
Keeping with Custom
Virtually all (93%) of vendors interviewed market some kind of new products
at their booth. Only 22% of vendors market antique, utilized, or classic products. Out
of the flea market owners and managers who also sell at their markets, over 68% sell
antique and vintage merchandise. New merchandise is undoubtedly in-demand with
marketplace consumers, with gift and novelty products becoming the top-marketing
category this season, carefully followed by knives, and then precious jewelry. For
many market consumers there continues an expectation of finding deals and old-
10
fashioned products at swaps and flea markets. Lorna Ingersoll, great-granddaughter
from the founding father of Jamie’s Flea Marketplace, conveys, “Flea markets are
still traditional, and that’s what individuals enjoy.”
Product Tracking down
New goods are heavily prevalent in today’s flea marketplaces. In which is it
products coming from? 55% of surveyed vendors reported utilizing
wholesalecentral.com as their top resource for products. When choosing suppliers,
70% of suppliers mentioned that high quality was a very important aspect. Price was
ranked somewhat lower; with 66% claiming is an important factor. Low or no order
minimal also ranked higher being an identifying factor, with 45Percent of vendors
saying it was essential to them.
Supplier Goals
The primary factors vendors consider when selecting a marketplace are
consumer traffic, practical places, and the market’s marketing and advertising
efforts. 51 percent of suppliers reported that they would like to see higher shopper
quantities at their markets. 36 percent are concerned with way too many vendors
having comparable products within the same marketplace. However, concerns over
the economy, weather, and vendor competition affecting business have all decreased
from last year. General, vendors are experiencing fewer issues with their company.
Out of all the locations polled (weather, rising expenses of merchandise, discovering
quality providers, increasing costs of room rental, the theft, competition and
11
economy market’s advertising, overstock, and lack of customers), everyone had a
decrease in the portion of suppliers implying it as being a place of concern compared
to last year.
However, with its several advantages, there are still few disadvantages to
count. As indicated by the local people around Jhenidah (2013), weekly bazaars in
the district alongside roads and highways are causing complication to the smooth
vehicular movement as the temporary bazaars take control numerable parts of the
roads. Such as bazzars in Hatgopalpur, Goalpara, Madhupur, Tetultala, Bishoykhali,
Nagarbatham, Dakleangla, Baidanga and Halidhani under Sadar thana, Abaipur,
Hatfazilpur, Royera, Shalakupa, Ganaganj, Bhatai, Madandanga and Seikhpara
under Shailakupa thana, Barobazar, Elangi and Kaliganj under Kaliganj thana,
Kotchandpurhat u`nder Kotchandpur thana and Khalispur Moheshpur thana possess
most parts of streets and expressways, making obstacle smooth traffic development
in the territories.
Asim Biswas, 34, of town Harihra under Shailakupa thana, said that for need
of room the dealers in Shailakupa weekly bazaars are constrained to occupy parts of
public roads. He said if the experts concerned move the present place to Habibpur
paddy showcase, where two major structures stay deserted on an extensive land, the
issue will be illuminated. Local individuals have asked the specialists worried to take
quick measures to tackle the issue.

12
These problems will cause traffic congestion. Traffic congestion is a
condition on road networks that occurs as use increases, and is characterized by
slower speeds, longer trip times, and increased vehicular queueing.
In addition, Kelli Grant (2012) said that there are things flea market won’t
tell us. In flea markets, you can find better price to what you have bought, haggling
also doesn’t always work and you may also buy things that are not safe.
Talking about the growth of flea markets, Phyllis Bernstein (1981) said that
WESTBURY FLEA markets offering discount merchandise are continuing to
proliferate throughout the Island, vying with established retailers for billions of
consumer dollars.
While flea markets once sold an eclectic mix of antiques and latter-day wares
(now called collectibles), today the emphasis is on brand-new, brand-name
merchandise, running the gamut from designer jeans to sneakers, jewelry, cosmetics
and housewares. Hard goods and soft goods share stall spaces with purveyors of sour
pickles from the Lower East Side, dried fruits and nuts and ''fresh-baked'' apple
strudel.
Dr. Pearl M. Kamer, chief economist for the Long Island Regional Planning
Board, said the Island's retail sales for the first quarter of 1981 totaled $3.57 billion,
up about 13 percent from the previous year's figure of $3.16 billion. In real terms -
excluding the effects of inflation - the gain was 3 percent.

13
Growth of Tiangge and Effect to Economy
As reported by Monique (2016), Tiangge actually signifies "advertise" by and
large, at any rate as indicated by Andy M (2016). With respect to me, I could state
it's the casual term used to depict shoddy slows down moving assortment of products
that arranged a road or spreads an unfilled space and attracts numerous thrifty—or
closefisted rather—customers.
In the Philippines, you can discover loads of tiangge, some even are well
known shopping goals rounding up customers from various parts of the nation. Some
of it are Divisoria, Tutuban, Quiapo, Greenhills and some more. In case you're an
outsider visiting the Philippines, I prescribe that you visit these spots as these
tiangges are settled in one place.
Be that as it may, at that point the tiangge I would need to discuss is the
procession type. Moving into the more provincial piece of the nation where shopping
centers and shopping regions weren't found yet, tiangge resembles a blockbuster
motion picture the vast majority of the general population are foreseeing and are
amped up for. These tiangges exchange from town to town and lands in a single place
at a particular day.
As reported by Jovy Medina-Leonardo (2016), Probably the most celebrated
flea markets or "tiangge" in Metro Manila can be found in Baclaran, Divisoria and
Pasig. But one tiangge just outside the metropolis is making a name as the new haven
for customers searching for the best deals on quality-made garments and
14
embellishments.
That would the municipal tiangge of Taytay, Rizal, which is provided by the
town's powerful articles of clothing industry and has moved advancement in this
suburb toward the east of Manila.
In 2010, the administration of Taytay Mayor Joric Gacula saw the need and
the potential hosting these garment vendors in their own local tiangge in town.
Hence, the Municipal Council amended the Taytay Local Tax Ordinance No. 10,
establishing the tiangge in Kalayaan Park in order to encourage small retailers to
register their businesses and sell their goods in their own town.
The Kalayaan Tiangge was an instant success and garnered an initial 400
registered retailers. After three years, the local government decided to authorize a
council resolution approving a lease contract with Club Manila East Compound,
offering a larger space for the tiangge that could accommodate even more micro,
small and medium garments makers. At present, the local government aims to elevate
the standards and quality of the local products through planning and preparing the
vendors for upcoming innovations.
As reported by the GMA News (2008), tiangge can have a good and bad
effect to the economy. Starting with the benefits, tiangge offer low priced items for
the poor, it encourages spending, it supports food entrepreneurs as wherever there
are tiangge, there will be food stalls nearby, it provides employment for retail
workers and provides revenue for mall establishments.

15
Its bad sides are that the majority of the goods are smuggled cheap
substandard china imports, these goods directly compete with homegrown products,
stalls do not have business permits and do not pay business taxes and lastly most of
their employees are underpaid and have no benefits.
According to Patrik Jonsson, the flea markets' growth is part of a burgeoning
underground economy - one that has given hope to some laid-off workers turning
toward old hobbies and may have the power to change entire towns.
Despite the sheer size of markets like Hillsville's, the IRS has yet to crack
down on the collection of sales taxes, as the cost of the effort would outweigh its
gain. The growth of that "informal economy" has increased the amount of cash in
circulation per American from $1,105 in 1990 to $2,455 in 2004 - and untaxed goods
account for some 10 percent of the gross national product. It's a sign that, especially
in rural regions, Americans are diversifying: More and more, four- or five-income
streams are flowing into two-wage-earner households, says Elaine Edgecomb, a
director at the Aspen Institute, a Washington think tank.
Still, some critics worry that flea markets are a sign more of tragedy than
triumph - a symbol of sinking expectations and collapsing economies that can force
the liquidation of even the smallest assets. In that reading, the clusters of tents that
pop up in towns and on highways are less an homage to resourcefulness than a vision
harkening back to Dust Bowl days, when families sometimes sold their most precious
belongings to survive.
16
The truth, say economists, won't be clear for some time, and the picture is
muddled for now. Many vendors are "necessity entrepreneurs" who come to supplant
lost jobs. But there are also "pull factors," says Ms. Edgecomb - people seeking
autonomy, opportunity, and control who are drawn to the markets because they want
to cultivate a skill, or simply love doing it.
According to an interview with the President of Ayvalik Chamber of
Commerce: The bazaar in Ayvalik is known to stimulate the economy especially
during the summer season. The bazaar starts early in the morning and lasts until the
afternoon. It is said that in the traditional bazaars a prospective client could sit in front
of the dealer, talk with him and drink a tea or a coffee, in a relaxed way to negotiate.
At the Ayvalik bazaar, merchants and clients were drinking tea regardless.
You can find anything from clothes, accessories, household items, rugs,
groceries and even counterfeit watches.
What struck him was that many merchants labelled their products with prices
in Euros even though the Turkish currency is the Turkish Lira. Thus, realizing how
significant the European (economic) influx really is. Most merchants also accepted
Euros as direct payment. Credit cards were out of the question. Today the Ayvalik
bazaar remains an essential part of the economy of the town, just as it did in the era
of Persian kings.
17
Reducing Problems brought by Tiangge
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said it will allow
the operation of flea markets and bazaars this holiday season as long as they do not
obstruct the flow of traffic.
Celine Pialago, MMDA spokesperson, said local government units in Metro
Manila are free to provide suitable vending areas for vendors who want to earn a
living for the holidays. Bong Nebrija, MMDA operations supervisor, said the agency
will sustain its clearing operations to ease the flow of traffic.
Nebrija said the agency’s clearing operations against obstructions badly need the
cooperation of local government, barangay officials, and even security personnel.
As reported by Nel B. Andrade (2016), in its effort to ease traffic congestion
along major thoroughfares here, especially now that the Christmas rush is around,
the municipal government has revived its drive against illegally-parked and stalled
vehicles along Ortigas Avenue and Floodway areas of the municipality.
Mayor George “Joric” Gacula has directed traffic authorities in re-
implementing City Ordinance No. 6-2003, City Ordinance No. 33-1999, and City
Ordinance No. 19-2015 that pertains to towing of illegally parked vehicles and non-
motorized vehicles and imposing penalties for violators in specific roads in the
municipality starting December 1.

18
Both Ordinance No.6-2003 and No. 33-1999 identify the areas covered by
the towing zones while Ordinance No. 19-2015 allows the municipal government to
implement the no parking and towing zones in the town respectively.
We all know that the one major problem caused by flea markets or
bazaars are traffic. That’s why reducing traffic congestion are one of the best
solutions. As reported by Smarter Cambridge Transport (2016), Urban Traffic
Management Control (UTMC) systems such as SCOOT can be very effective in
maximizing road capacity by varying the timing of traffic lights to match demand in
real time. When lights are all coordinated responsively to demand, incidences of
‘blocking back’ (vehicles stuck in junctions) leading to gridlock can be minimized.
Also, use of CCTV at junctions allows traffic managers to see breakdowns,
collisions and other causes of congestion. Combined with good communication
systems with Highways England, the police and major road users (such as airports,
train stations, retail parks), this can ensure traffic managers receive advance warning
of issues that will impact their network.
Illegal parking, waiting, loading/unloading obstructs traffic flow, reduces
capacity at junctions, holds up buses, and increases danger to those walking or
cycling. Blocking junctions, which is illegal where there’s a yellow box, can cause
gridlock across a wide area of the road network.
The government is currently reviewing the law around pavement parking. It
may decide to extend to the rest of the country the ban that exists in London, but that
19
will still require enforcement. Penalty Charge Notices currently given for illegal
unloading are seen simply as a cost of doing business, so perhaps an escalating
penalty for repeat offences should be considered.
Enablement of Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004 would allow civil
enforcement of a wide range of minor moving vehicle offences, which currently the
police have neither the resources nor incentives to enforce.
There is also a perception (partly class-related) that trams are more attractive
than buses. Rather than pander to this bias – potentially at huge expense – it makes
sense to examine why the perception exists. Requiring bus drivers to collect fares,
verify tickets and passes, account for all money taken, and spot fare dodgers adds
considerable stress to their job, and increases the dwell time at stops. Instead,
operators should employ specialist revenue protection officers with powers to impose
on-the-spot fines. CCTV on board buses provides a means to spot and target repeat
offenders.
Also, another answer is to extend parking controls much further out from the
center of the city in a coordinated way. Adding new residents’ parking zones in a
piecemeal fashion simply pushes problems to a new area. By coordinating the
expansion it’s possible to have one-hour residents’ parking zones, which can be
patrolled by one or two civil enforcement officers. A patrol route can be designed
through consecutive one-hour restrictions: 10-11am in one area, 11-noon in the next,
20
noon-1pm in the next, and so on. Combined with ANPR (automatic number plate
recognition) technology, enforcement can be quick and cheap.
Additionally, free parking at employment sites attracts traffic and therefore
contributes indirectly to congestion. Nottingham has led the way in introducing a
workplace parking levy (WPL). The effect on congestion is relatively small, but
significant. More importantly it incentivizes employers to help their employees find
alternative ways to get to work. WPL is politically easier to introduce than a
congestion charge and can provide local authorities with a revenue stream to invest
in public and active transport options
Synthesis
The research is a collaboration of the different materials such as thesis,
articles, and journals. The concepts and theories that are cited were useful and vital
in this study for it supports and guides the researchers toward the fulfillment of the
desired output. The cited research gave critical and comprehensive analysis, different
information and additional explanation about the assigned research topic.
Based on the different theories of experts, a bazaar or tiangge have its own
disadvantage and advantage to be counted. Its main disadvantage is the traffic caused
by many sources. An accident isn't needed to create them, sometimes they
are caused by near-misses, by people cutting each other off, by merging lanes at a
construction site, or simply by extra cars entering from an on-ramp.

21
Traffic is really a major issue for individuals especially to those who are
working and needed to go to their workplace early because no one wants to be tardy
as always. Many commuters got sick about the traffic that they encountered every
day. It is inevitable since the road, highways, and such are not quite wide enough to
lessen the traffic since there are lots of different kinds of vehicles especially to those
employees who uses their own vehicle and those employees that commutes to their
work every day. Well, traffic is non-measurable and that is so hard even if an
employee has his or her own vehicle or none, and also harder to employees that came
from far-flung locations.
But even with its disadvantage, people view bazaars as a convenience for
some especially to the vendors that work in that place. Many people around the area
might mean a lot of customer for vendors that becomes an opportunity for them to
show off their products. Also, the local government of Taytay could take advantage
of these things as Taytay Tiangge plays an important role in the economic
development of the Municipality of Taytay. Further knowledge about the strategies
employed by the tiangge sellers and its effects on the purchasing interest of the
market will bring larger success and benefits to the municipality and residents.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses the research methods accessible for the study and what
is applicable in response for the statement of the problem. This part of the study
presents research design, subject of the study, locale of the study, sampling
technique, instrument of the study, procedure of the study and the data analysis.
Research Design
This research used phenomenology as its research design. According to
Sokolowski (2000), phenomenology is the study of human experience and of the way
things present themselves to us in and through such experience. The research team
used the phenomenology in order to find the experiences of the local residences in
Taytay about the tiangge and how it affected them in their day-to-day lives. By their
experiences, the researchers got the perception of the people of Taytay about the
Taytay tiangge, the traffic it brought about, and presented possible solution to this
problem.
Subject of the Study
In this research, twenty (20) individuals around Taytay were selected to
participate in the process. They were carefully chosen and interviewed to gather data
needed for the study. As stated by Maria Luca of Regent’s University of London
23
(2013), there is no rule for interviews needed in qualitative research. However, if the
qualitative method is designed to meet rigour and trustworthiness, thick and rich data
are important. That is why in order to achieve these principles, it will need at least
twelve (12) interviews.
In this study, the respondents comprised five (5) drivers, five (5) vendors,
two (2) individuals from the local government, and eight (8) residents from Taytay.
They were interviewed to collate experiences that affect them about the topic under
study.
Locale of the Study
The study was conducted in the municipality of Taytay in Rizal. Taytay is a
1st class municipality in the province of Rizal. According to the 2015 census, it has
a population of 319,104 people. Taytay is known as the Woodworks and Garments
Capital of the Philippines. The Taytay Tiangge, a place known by its cheap price and
access to fashion is one of the largest garments’ producers in the province of Rizal.
The National Competitiveness Council has named Taytay as the "1st Most
Competitive Municipality”, for year 2018. Taytay Tiangge is also known as street
bargain market among tourists and nearby residents.

24
Sampling Technique
Since the study affected reasonable amount of people in Taytay, the
researchers decided to use judgement sampling as the most appropriate sampling
technique. Judgement sampling is a non-random sampling technique wherein the
choice of sample items depends exclusively on the investigator’s knowledge and
professional judgment. In other words, the investigator chooses only those sample
items which he feels to be the best representative of the population with regard to the
attributes or characteristics under investigation. The researchers believe that if they
use this sampling technique, they would be able to target people who actually are
affected by the tiangge, therefore gathering more accurate insights about the topic.
Instrument of the Study
The researchers opted to use interview as instrument of the study. As stated
by the Theory and Practice in Language Studies (2013) interview is a form of an
essential part of data collection for many qualitative studies. It gives information
about how to individualize interview formats to meet the purpose and style of specific
qualitative research approaches. The researchers used interview to actually gather
raw and reliable data direct from the respondents. Although it is time consuming, the
respondents’ answers to questions are very credible and can bring about reliable
results to analyze with.

25
Procedure of the Study
In this school year 2018-2019, a research was conducted by a newly formed
thesis group led by Practical Research teacher. They were asked to make a qualitative
research topic in relation to their strand, the ABM (Accountancy, Business and
Management) strand.
The study started with the researchers thinking of a topic that is relevant and
timely and poses problems around the area. They then formulated a working title that
led them in creating the statement of the problem that help in finding out what are
the problems to be resolved. They also came up on how this study will be helpful to
people and find out what will be its contribution to the society. Afterwards they
proceeded in finding some of applicable related literature and studies connected to
their topic using internet sources and library resources.
An interview was conducted where respondents were cautiously chosen. The
interview had different questions representing the different respondents’ profile. All
questions given to respondents were all associated with the topic and was recorded
and noted as guide for the data analysis.
After gathering information and data, the researchers interpreted the outcome
and related it to the study. Qualitative data analysis was utilized to give reliable and
trustworthy interpretation of the responses.

26
Data Analysis
For data analysis tools, thematic areas and original contents of respondents
was used. Themes according to the University of Huddersfield are features of
participants accounts characterizing particular perceptions and or/experiences that
the researcher sees as relevant to the interview question. Thematic Analysis is a
flexible data analysis plan that qualitative researchers use to generate themes from
interview data. This data analysis plan is perfect for both novice and expert
qualitative researchers because the steps are easy to follow but rigorous enough to
generate meaningful findings from the data. By using this form of analysis, I
identified major themes and concepts. The analysis was conducted in the following
steps: (1) perusing through the data collected and identify relevant information to
research in order to address the research objectives and questions; (2) applying a
coding system based on the samples collected and finally; (3) classification of major

CHAPTER IV
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The primary purpose of this study was to find a way on how the increasing
popularity of Taytay Tiangge affects the traffic in Taytay. The other purpose of the
study was to identify how the Taytay Tiangge and the traffic affects the daily lives
of people around Taytay.
Respondents’ experiences and feedback added insights to the research
questions posed in this study. By listening, noting and analyzing the experiences and
answers of these respondents, valuable information was obtained about the effects of
increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge to the traffic and to the daily lives of people
around Taytay. Respondents answers were the source to construct a well-planned
conclusion and recommendations that will benefit people in Taytay. In this chapter,
the research questions are addressed with supporting evidence, including both
quotations and feedback from the respondents. Data analysis is also done using the
thematic analysis. Researchers examined, distinguished and recorded patterns (or
themes) within the data.
Demographic of Respondents
The profile of the respondents has a very significant role to play in expressing
and giving the responses about the problem, keeping this in mind, in this study a set
29
of personal profile namely, age, gender, occupation, and years in the residence of
Taytay have been examined and presented in this chapter.
Table 1
Demographic of the Respondents
Profile of the Respondents Frequency Percentage
Age
14-18 years old 2 10%
19-30 years old 6 30%
31 years old and above 12 60%
Gender
Male 14 70%
Female 6 30%
Occupations
Accountant 1 5%
Businessman 1 5%
Businesswoman 1 5%
Vendor 5 25%
Desk Officer 1 5%
Nurse 1 5%
Student 4 20%
Traffic Enforcer 1 5%
Tricycle Driver 5 25%
Years in Taytay
1-7 years 2 10%
8-15 years 3 15%
16-25 years 9 45%
26 years and above 6 30%
It was evident that the majority of respondents were those in the age of about
30
31 years old and above, followed by respondents aging of 19-30 years old and lastly
are the respondents aging of about 14-18 years old.
Additionally, it was quite clear that out of total respondents interviewed for
this study, an overwhelming majority were males.
Also, in the table 1, respondents with an occupation of accountant,
businessman, businesswoman, desk officer, nurse and traffic enforcer have the
lowest frequency amounting to 1. However, respondent who are students have a
frequency of 4. Lastly, respondents who have a frequency of about 5 were
respondents that have an occupation of being a vendor and tricycle driver.
Talking about years in residence in Taytay, majority of the respondents spend
years in Taytay for about 16-25 years followed by respondent staying in Taytay for
about 26 years and above, 8-15 years and lastly, years in residence which got the
lowest frequency are those in Taytay for about 1-7 years.
Based on the research done by Kumar (2016), in social sciences research,
personnel characteristics of respondents have very significant role to play in
expressing and giving the responses about the problem. Age of the respondents is
one of the most important characteristics in understanding their views about the
particular problems; by and large age indicates level of maturity of individuals in that
sense age becomes more important to examine the response. Also, Gender is an
important variable in a given Indian social situation which is variably affected by any
social or economic phenomenon and globalization is not an exception to it.

31
Additionally, Person’s occupations also do have a bearing on his or her personality
and so also the ways of looking at the problem before him. The quality of life is also
determined by an individual’s occupation and the incomes he derives from it.
Occupation of an individual also socialized him or her in a particular fashion which
in turn reflects his or her pattern of behaviors and his/her level of understanding of
particular phenomenon. And lastly, given that it can take time to build supportive
social ties, length of neighborhood residence may be an important determinant of
social integration. Indeed, existing research suggests that high rates of residential
turnover in a neighborhood weaken interpersonal ties and disrupt social
infrastructures that support the formation of new ties (Kasarda J. 1999). Additionally,
studies find that longer residential length, assessed at the individual level, is
associated with more social support, local friendships and participation in local
organizations.
Taytay Tiangge’s Help in the Municipality of Taytay
Taytay Tiangge’ increasing popularity is one thing that happened that affect
not only the people but the municipality of Taytay itself. Knowing its contribution to
the municipality is one thing that people in Taytay should know.

32
Table 2
Taytay Tiangge’s Helping the Municipality of Taytay
Identified Theme Expressed Responses
Popularity It increases the number of buyers from neighbor cities.
It increases the number of investments.
Economical It increases the income of municipality of Taytay and

the money it holds
Decreases unemployment rate of Taytay
According to the respondents, the increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge
makes the municipality at Taytay itself popular. Based on their justification, the
popularity Taytay Tiangge increases the people from neighbor cities buying product
there and going there. They said that it became a tourist spot because many celebrities
and other known people try to go there just to buy clothes they need. Also, according
to them, the effect of the popularity of municipality of Taytay was it increases the
number of investments Taytay receiving which will further help in the improvement
of Taytay.
Also, based on their answers, Taytay Tiangge help the municipality
economically. Respondents said that the Taytay Tiangge help the municipality by
increasing its income and the money it holds because of the fast cycle of money from
the increase number of buyers inside the tiangge. They also said that through the
33
permit they paid, they were able to help Taytay by increasing its municipal money.
They also said that Taytay Tiangge is one big sources of income of the municipality
that is why there is no doubt Taytay Tiangge really help the municipality of Taytay.
Another answer gathered from respondents is that Taytay Tiangge help the
municipality by decreasing its unemployment rate. Many businessmen get this
opportunity to sell their goods and get income through it. This includes not only those
tiangge vendors but also those food vendors and restaurant around the Taytay
Tiangge. Also, some little vendors were able to sell out their goods because of the
Taytay Tiangge and even those jobless people were able to get a job through Taytay
Tiangge.
In a similar foreign study, Jonsson (2004) mentioned that the flea markets'
growth is part of a burgeoning underground economy - one that has given hope to
some laid-off workers turning toward old hobbies and may have the power to change
entire towns.
Tiangge and the Traffic in Taytay
The increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge is no doubt a big help not only
for Taytayeños but also for the people from neighbor cities. However, even with
known benefits, there is no way it the increase of Taytay Tiangge will not affect the
traffic flow of Taytay. With this, many reasons for this issue can be seen.
34
Table 3
Effects Tiangge to the Traffic in Taytay
Identified Theme Justification
Vendors It increases sidewalk vendors which makes the space

narrower
Overpopulated Too many buyers/pedestrians

Too many vehicles
Values and ethics Unruly Buyers/Pedestrians
Unruly Drivers
According to the respondents, the increased number of tiangges also
increased the number of illegal things around the area. This is a big concern for them
because illegal vendors are increasing and not only it’s not fair for the other vendors
but also, they block the way that should be given to some vehicles that later causes
traffic. They said that these illegal vendors should be taken out for good.
Based on the answer of respondents, overpopulation is one effect increasing
number of tiangge to the flow of traffic in Taytay. They said that the growing number
of tiangges bring too many buyers in the area. They said that with the increasing
number of buyers, drivers take time to cross because many people crossing the road
can be seen everywhere. Also, they stated that the tiangge also brings a lot of vehicles
in the road. This was a big concern for them because it is the number one cause of
35
traffic congestion. Also, with a lot of vehicles, some drivers take too long to park
their car that later affects the flow of traffic. One reason for this increasing number
of vehicles is because of great number of buyers from neighbor cities who bring their
vehicles along with the trip to Taytay tiangge.
Additionally, some respondents stated that another cause of traffic in Taytay
are those unruly buyers/pedestrians and drivers. They justified that because many
buyers were in a hurry just to buy things they need, they were able to violate some
rules and regulations in the area which is mainly crossing the road in the pedestrian
lane. They cross the road anytime and anywhere which is a big concern of driver
causing delay. Also, they said that because of these tiangges, some drivers also in a
hurry making them able to disobey the rules, overtaking some vehicles which is not
good for the flow of traffic.
In a similar situation, as indicated by the local people around Jhenidah (2013),
weekly bazaars in the district alongside roads and highways are causing complication
to the smooth vehicular movement as the temporary bazaars take control numerable
parts of the roads. Such as bazzars in Hatgopalpur, Goalpara and Madhupur. Asim
Biswas, 34, of town Harihra under Shailakupa thana, said that for need of room the
dealers in Shailakupa weekly bazaars are constrained to occupy parts of public roads.
36
Advantages and Disadvantages of Tiangge to Everyday Life
Taytay tiangge was built to benefit all people around it and there is no doubt
advantages are seen in every angle of it but even with its numerous advantages,
disadvantage can also be seen. Respondents in this study used their actual
experiences in identifying the advantages and disadvantages of tiangge in their
everyday lives.
Table 4
Advantages and Disadvantages of Taytay Tiangge to Everyday Life
Advantages Disadvantages
 Provide cheap and budget  Low quality products

friendly products
 Illegal Vendors
 Easy to locate
 Traffic
 Not too far away
 Source of income of vendors
 Increases the income of tricycle

drivers
According to the respondents, one advantage Tiangge to the people is the
products it sells. Respondents said that its big advantage is it provides cheap and
budget friendly products for all of the people in Taytay. They also stated that when
one is low in budget but still tries to be fashionable, Taytay tiangge is the place to
go. Additionally, respondent said that Taytay tiangge is very easy to locate because
37
there are many guides in the internet and many people know where it is found. She
also said that it was very easy to go to because it is not that far away from the cities.
Also, respondent justified that Taytay tiangge helped them to provide their
needs and wants in their day to day. Some respondents stated that as a vendor, Taytay
tiangge is a big help for them because without Tiangge, they will be not able to sell
their goods and get a place to sell it. Also, because of the Tiangge they get an
opportunity to be able to widen their business. Another response from respondents is
that the Tiangge helped them to increase their income as a tricycle driver. Taytay
Tiangge was able to increase the buyers in the area therefore, increasing their
customers which was the source of their income.
Talking about disadvantages, respondents stated that low quality products are
one of the disadvantages of Taytay Tiangge because of its cheap price, there’s no
doubt some of the products might be easily broken. He said that he once bought an
earphone there and after 2 days it broke. Another information we gather from
respondents is the illegal vendors. Because of the increasing popularity of Taytay
Tiangge, some illegal vendors don’t pay rent which is not fair for the legal vendors.
They also sell in the place that should be part of the road which later causes traffic.
And lastly, one big disadvantage stated by respondents is the traffic it caused.
They said that traffic affects the buyers and even the vendors because of the slow
flow of vehicles. Because of traffic, some of their customer forced to leave the
Tiangge thus decreasing their income. Also, one respondent which is a driver stated
38
that because of traffic, sometimes their income decrease lowering the number of rides
they have which is not good for them because it is their only source of income.
Measures to Reduce Traffic in Taytay without compromising the Tiangge
Traffic is known to be one of the most common issues in Taytay because of

the Taytay Tiangge. But for every problem, there’s a solution.
Table 5
Measures to Reduce Traffic in Taytay
Identified Theme Specific Measures
Infrastructure Overpass
Pedestrian Lanes
Values and Ethics Pedestrians crossing at the right place
Personnel and Skills Additional Traffic Enforcers
Traffic enforcer should be more trained
Based on the answers of the respondents, building an infrastructure was the
best way to solve the traffic in Taytay without compromising the Taytay Tiangge.
They said that the people from other places were the ones that make the flow of
traffic feel more congested. Their solution to this was to build an overpass. They
thought that it would be helpful to the people who weren’t used to crossing the roads
39
in the place. The presence of the overpass would mean that people wouldn’t have to
cross the road, getting rid of the fact that they were interrupting the flow of traffic in
the first place. Also, according to them, putting pedestrian lane in certain places in
Taytay is a great solution for this problem. People in Taytay Tiangge doesn’t know
where to cross because pedestrian lane is nowhere to be found causing pedestrians to
cross anywhere.
Another response gathered from the respondents was about the values and
ethics of people in Taytay Tiangge. They think that the solution is orienting the
values and discipline of the buyers and people around tiangge. They cross the road
anytime that might cause accident in the area. Their self-discipline will also play a
huge role if they intend to ease the flow of traffic in the area.
Lastly was the information and suggestion on adding and improving the skills
of traffic enforcer who play a big role in solving the traffic flow in Taytay. They
stated that the increase in number of traffic enforcer and makes them work actively
especially in school hours will help reduce the traffic in Taytay. Another suggestion
given by them was traffic enforcers should be trained better to ensure that they have
the best confidence in what they do. They should also be strict and disciplined.
We all know that the one major problem caused by flea markets or bazaars
are traffic. That is why reducing traffic congestion is one of the best solutions. As
reported by Smarter Cambridge Transport (2016), Urban Traffic Management
Control (UTMC) systems such as SCOOT can be very effective in maximizing road
40
capacity by varying the timing of traffic lights to match demand in real time. When
lights are all coordinated responsively to demand, incidences of ‘blocking back’
(vehicles stuck in junctions) leading to gridlock can be minimized. Also, use of
CCTV at junctions allows traffic managers to see breakdowns, collisions and other
causes of congestion.

CHAPTER V
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
In this chapter, summary of the research is presented, and findings of the
study are discussed and interpreted. The conclusion of this research in the
immediate context on the effect of the increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge to
the flow of traffic and to everyday lives of people is examined. Recommendations
for further research are given.
Summary of the Findings
This study was taken with the general objective of determining the effects of
the increasing popularity of Taytay tiangge to the flow of traffic and to the day to
day lives of people. Findings are summarized as:
1. Taytay Tiangge helping the municipality of Taytay
Based on the findings of the study derived from actual experiences, thoughts and
concepts of respondents, Taytay Tiangge helps the Municipality of Taytay by making
the municipality popular and helping it economically. With its popularity, many
people tend to buy and increase the number of buyers in Tiangge which is good for
the tourism of the municipality. It also increases investments it received. Also, based
on the findings, Taytay Tiangge helps the municipality economically by increasing

42
the income and money Taytay holds and decreasing the unemployment rate of the
municipality.
2. Effects of increasing number of tiangge to the flow of traffic in Taytay
Based in the findings of the study, the effects of the increasing number of tiangge to
the flow of traffic in Taytay are the illegal things it brings which causes traffic, the
area being overpopulated bringing traffic in the area and ruining the values and ethics
of the people in tiangge affecting the traffic flow of Taytay.
3. Advantages and disadvantages of Taytay Tiangge to everyday lives of
people
Majority of the respondents told that the advantage of Taytay Tiangge is that
it provides cheap and budget friendly products followed by Taytay Tiangge being
easy to locate and not too far away. Additionally, it was also their source of income.
The disadvantages of Taytay tiangge to the people is also one of the concerns
in this study. Based on the findings, the low quality of products, illegal vendors and
the traffic it caused were the experienced disadvantages of the respondents in Taytay
Tiangge.
4. Measures to be implemented to reduce the traffic in Taytay without
compromising the Taytay Tiangge
Based on the findings, the measures to be implemented as expressed by the
respondents were (1) building new infrastructure in Taytay like the overpass and
pedestrian lanes which help people cross the roads and drivers to make the flow of
43
traffic smooth. (2) orienting the ethics and values of people in tiangge; and (3)
additional enforcers and improving their skills on traffic management.
Conclusions
The researchers drew the following conclusions relative to the topic
understudy:
 The Taytay tiangge is an important part of the municipality because it is the
main source of income through the vendors business permits and rent
payments and the fast cycle money which help the municipality
economically. It also affects the popularity of Taytay because the people from
the neighboring cities also come to the tiangge to buy goods there. Since the
people from neighboring cities aren’t familiar with the roads near the tiangge,
most of the respondents believed that the construction of an overpass would
ease the flow of traffic. The presence of an overpass would negate the fact
that people would be crossing the street. The tourists wouldn't be a problem
anymore because they wouldn't require a lot of attention when crossing
anymore because they wouldn't be in the cars way if they used the overpass.
44
Recommendations
The researchers recommend the following for future advancement of this:
For the Residents
The researchers recommended the residences to learn, value and practice the
importance of proper etiquette. Cross on the right pedestrian, follow traffic rules and
park on designated areas
For the Local Government Officials
They may help in leading the traffic in Taytay if they may participate or
attend seminar in practicing the leadership level, training and monitoring that inspire
the professional growth and development of the municipality and additionally the
local government must make a project to reduce traffic.
For the Vendors
The other illegal vendors must cooperate in relocating them on better places
so that the sidewalks are free to walk. The vendors may find other areas to sell their
products to decrease the traffic that they cause because of the road congestions.
For the Drivers
The researcher suggests to the drivers that they can help reduce traffic by
obeying certain traffic laws, more specifically the loading and unloading rules. They
should only pick up and drop off passengers on the right places so that they wouldn't
interrupt the flow of traffic as much.

45
For the future researchers
The future researchers encourage to use our study as additional information
for the people when they do research on the Taytay tiangge so that they would have
a basis to work on and encourage them to conduct similar studies by utilizing other
variables like the phenomenology study about investing in Taytay tiangge in the
Municipality of Taytay.

(Start of the Interview)
Interviewer: It’s just a few questions. For you, how important it is that we have

affects the traffic in Taytay?
Interviewee: Yes

Interviewee: Maybe because of the increase number of vehicles and pedestrians

which makes the road narrow and drivers who overtake other vehicles.
Interviewer: So, what do you think are actions needed to be made to reduce the
traffic in Taytay
55
Interviewee: I think the Taytay should increase the traffic enforcers because some
part in Taytay is not guided by the traffic enforcers when the traffic comes. Also,
people should not cross the road anytime because one time I saw a pedestrian who
almost got hit by a car when he suddenly run to cross the road.
Interviewer: Yeah, those pesky pedestrians are really a pain in the ass. So last
question, what do you think are the ethics needed by the people of Taytay.
Interviewee: People should know to follow the rules in Taytay.
Interviewer: Thanks for your time
Interviewee: Its nothing

Interviewee: Taytay Tiangge is important because Taytay provides people cheap

products and it gives jobs to the vendors in Taytay.
Interviewer: Okay so, in what way you can say that Taytay Tiangge is helpful to the
municipality?

municipality holds because of the business permit the vendors paid to them and also,
it makes our municipality popular
Interviewer: So next is do you think that the increasing popularity of Taytay Tiangge
56
Interviewee: Yes because the popularity of Taytay Tiangge increase the vehicles
and people in Taytay which makes the place narrower and hard to commute.
Interviewer: So for the next question, what do you think are the actions needed to
reduce the traffic in Taytay
Interviewee: Just for me, the government should fix the manners of the buyers in
Taytay because those pedestrians who cross the road anytime causes delay in the
flow of traffic.
