An Inclusive Transportation for Iraya-Mangyan IP in Accessing Social Infrastructure using Scalogram Analysis

Abstract

Indigenous people (IP) were the first residents who originally lived and hosted their represented nations or domains. Therefore, these natives were initially acknowledged as the first individuals, meaning they were included in the country’s population and must be prioritized over the rest of the civilians, considering they were part of the country’s history. However, despite being a small population, most of these individuals were poor and illiterate. In addition, they were unable to catch up with those normal citizens living in the modern world because of not being socially identified in institutional industry, being discriminated against due to their origins, and being deprived of social support like access to education, transportation, hospital, and other essential facilities. This research sought to study the quality-of-life Iraya-Mangyan IPs had and the present conditions in their inhabited area to determine how they lived their everyday lives and how they moved around their domain. By conducting this study, the proponents found no inclusive transportation and comprehensive social support infrastructure available and accessible for Iraya-Mangyan IP, and thus, the transportation system was insufficient and defective.
