Foreign and Local Studies on Youth Centers

Foreign Studies
• Youth centers enhance social responsibility, foster physical fitness, and improve
leadership abilities (Alhrahsheh, 2020; The Role of Youth Centers in Enhancing Social
Responsibility).

• Youth centers promote civic engagement (Sudbury, 2021; Youth Centers and Community
Involvement).

• Leisure activities in youth centers are crucial for adolescents' psychological, cognitive, and
physical development, promoting health (Eriksson, 2015; The Impact of Leisure Activities
on Youth Development).

• Well-designed youth centers improve quality of life by providing safe environments for
recreation, education, and social interaction (Smith, 2020; Assessing the Impact of Youth
Centers on Quality of Life).

• Participation in youth center activities reduces anxiety and depression (Johnson, 2022;
Mental Health Outcomes of Youth Center Participation).

• Youth centers provide a safe space for self-expression, resilience, and peer connection
(Williams, 2019; Building Resilience through Youth Centers).

• Effective architectural design, including flexible spaces and natural light, enhances the
user experience (Miller & Thompson, 2018; Architectural Design and User Experience in
Youth Centers).

• Roof decks can serve as multifunctional spaces (Johnson, 2023; Utilization of Outdoor
Spaces in Youth Centers).

• U.S. youth center building design adheres to codes from the International Code Council
(ICC) (ICC, 2024; Building Safety Codes for Youth Centers).

• Innovations in construction materials improve building efficiency and sustainability


(Cheran et al., 2017; Innovative Materials in Youth Center Construction).

• Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) and Liteblocks offer better insulation and reduced
weight compared to concrete hollow blocks (CHB) (Al-Kharafi & Ghabour, 2020;
Comparative Study of AAC and CHB).

• Liteblocks enhance workability and reduce construction costs (Rathi & Khandv, 2015;
Economic Benefits of Using Liteblocks in Construction).
• AAC blocks reduce material requirements (Thakur & Kumar, 2022; Cost Efficiency in AAC
Block Construction).

• Lightweight materials improve building efficiency (Alengaram et al., 2015; The Benefits of
Lightweight Materials in Construction).

• Lightweight concrete reduces thermal load on structures (Mandavgane et al., 2013;


Thermal Performance of Lightweight Concrete).

Local Studies
• Liteblocks are cost-efficient and lightweight (Liteblock Philippines, 2024; The Cost
Efficiency of Liteblocks in Construction).

• Liteblocks provide good insulation and reduce structural load (Liteblock Philippines,
2024; Insulation Properties of Liteblocks).

• Liteblocks excel in sound insulation (The Constructor, 2023; Sound Insulation Properties
of Liteblocks).

• Use of Liteblocks aligns with sustainable construction practices (Liteblock Philippines,


2024; Sustainability in Construction with Liteblocks).

• The total man-hour required for AAC blocks installation ranges from 62 to 64 hours per
square meter (Ogunsemi et al., 2020; Installation Time Analysis of AAC Blocks).

• Man-hours for Liteblock installation align closely with those of AAC blocks (Mishra et al.,
2023; Comparative Study on Installation Times of Lightweight Blocks).

• Life cycle cost analysis shows AAC blocks can be slightly cheaper than CHB (Bornales et al.,
2023; Life Cycle Cost Analysis of AAC vs. CHB).

• Liteblock is preferable in terms of strength, weight, and workability compared to


traditional CHB (Bungbunga et al., 2021; Evaluating the Benefits of Liteblock over
Traditional Concrete).

• Liteblocks have a lifespan of 30 to 50 years (Gonzalez & Sison, 2018; Longevity of


Liteblocks in Construction).

• AAC blocks are designed to last 50 years (Del Mundo & Cruz, 2020; Durability and
Lifespan of AAC Blocks).

• Liteblocks combine durability and energy efficiency (Chua & Lim, 2015; The Advantages of
Liteblocks in Modern Construction).

Youth Engagement and Legislation


• Senate Bill No. 645 aims to create a network of youth centers across the Philippines (19th
Congress of the Senate of the Philippines; Proposed Legislation for Youth Centers).
• There are currently 66 youth centers in the Philippines (Smartscrapers, 2024; Mapping
Youth Centers in the Philippines).

• Engaging in youth center programs positively impacts mental health (Reyes, 2021; Mental
Health Benefits of Youth Center Engagement).

• Youth center programs lead to lower levels of anxiety and depression (Garcia, 2020; Youth
Centers and Emotional Resilience).

• Youth centers foster a sense of belonging and community (Garcia, 2020; Community
Building through Youth Centers).

• Youth centers improve participants' life skills through structured activities (Santos, 2019;
Life Skills Development in Youth Centers).

• Youth centers influence social engagement, especially among underprivileged adolescents


(DSWD, 2022; Social Impact of Youth Centers on Disadvantaged Youth).
