Abstract
This study delves into the feasibility of introducing a market in Barangay Tanagan, Calatagan, Batangas, with a primary
focus on assessing its viability and potential impact on local economic development. Utilizing survey questionnaires and
employing statistical analysis techniques, the research gathered data from a carefully selected sample of 366 residents
out of the total population of 4,224. The study evaluates both the potential benefits and challenges associated with
establishing the proposed market. Findings, subjected to thorough analysis through methods such as frequency counts
and weighted mean calculations, provide valuable insights into discernible patterns, emerging trends, and relevant
correlations. This analytical approach contributes to a pragmatic perspective that informs and guides future studies in
the field. The study reveals an interest among respondents in the establishment of public markets in their vicinity,
recognizing its potential to bolster the barangay and attract diverse opportunities. The anticipated positive impact
extends to fostering economic growth and enhancing local commerce in Barangay Tanagan. Consequently, based on
these compelling findings, the researchers advocate for a proposal outlining the establishment of a public market in
Barangay Tanagan as a means of addressing the identified needs and aspirations of the community.
