| Abstract | According to the Commission on Human Rights (CHR), a substantial portion of the informal sector in the Philippines comprises women, many of whom work as "tinderas" or vendors in public markets. Despite their significant contributions, these women often find themselves in vulnerable positions with inadequate social protection and unsafe working conditions due to insufficient laws governing the informal sector. They frequently face exploitation and gender-based violence in public spaces, which serve as their workplaces. This situation restricts their mobility, access to essential services, and enjoyment of recreational activities, thereby negatively impacting their health and well-being. This study explores the case of Baguio City, focusing on how the urban design of public markets as gendered spaces affects women's mobility and its potential contributions to urban design practices. The research aims to aid in formulating gender-sensitive design guidelines to enhance women's experiences in public spaces. A mixed-method approach, including focus group discussions, interviews, document analysis, and surveys, is employed to understand the relationship between women’s mobility and Gendered Space Theory. Participants include women actively engaged in the market, selected through purposive sampling to ensure representation of various roles. This research methodology offers a valuable contribution to understanding gendered experiences in public markets by studying the interplay between urban design and women's mobility. |
