Abstract
This study covers a qualitative appraisal of the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of Ugong Rock Adventure (URA) to the community and tourism site using household and key informant interviews; focus group discussions; reconnaissance survey and case history. Using a Before and After Scenario, community perception regarding environmental and socioeconomic impacts of URA was determined. Socioeconomic profiles of Barangay Tagabinet respondents and URA visitors were also compiled and analyzed to better understand the success and impact to the community and the people. Results showed that community members perceived a much improved socioeconomic status during and after URA operations compared with their earlier life before URA. In terms of environmental impacts, results showed a general perception of improvement in environmental quality during and after operations of URA compared with earlier conditions before the URA's operations.
