797 Words4 Pages

The number of population plays an important role in a society. It can be seen as one of the factors significantly causing changes in various areas.

There are even no recorded major airport upgrades that have been made in the structural until the year 2007 when the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) spearheaded the renovation done in the Airport Building. Last 2013, another proposed project for the reorientation of the runway was again approved and expected to be completed by 2019. An internal change was also made in the system last March of 2014 when from 7 flight operation schedules per day, it decreased to 4 by April of 2014 caused by the sudden drop in tourism.

    In her review of Supersizing Urban America by Chin Jou, titled “'Supersizing Urban America': How U.S. Policies Encouraged Fast Food To Spread”, Tove Danovich discusses the arching topic of national policy and the effect it had with Americans waistbands. Danovich reaches the conclusion the source of the abundance of fast food in underdeveloped communities can be traced back to the 1960s race riots and the formation of the Small Business Association.

    The airport project management team and the BAE system were the only parties involved, but they are not the end user who will be affected by the project outcome and the decision made was not thorough and details which caused the subsequent failure. Likewise, the key stake-holders which are the individual airline operator who rented the space are the one could be impacted the most by the outcome of the new automated baggage system, and yet they were excluded out in the initial planning discussion and decision making. This was the big mistake made by the airport management team. Once the airline operators were finally asked for their opinions, major changes were brought up to the project team, such as, adding ski equipment racks, different handling for oversized luggage, and separate maintenance tracks for broken carts. The requests required major redesign on portions of the project.
