Parking facilities serve a crucial role as fundamental component of urban infrastructure supporting economic activity, improving mobility, and ensuring the overall functionality of city environments. The availability and management of parking spaces significantly impact various aspects of daily life and urban planning. The issue on parking supply and demand has continued to gain more urgency, especially in urban areas. As population of car owning grows, the demand in parking facilities grows subsequently. The results of this study served as a basis for enhancing the design of transportation systems in congested areas, enhancing the mobility of all road users. It aided in the improvement of mobility strategies of the Local Government Unit (LGU) and in reshaping the urban infrastructure concept of the RGC. Mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative reviews to gather comprehensive data on parking conditions and utilization. Primary data was collected through direct observations and surveys, which included measuring parking areas and assessing the physical conditions of existing parking facilities. Secondary data was utilized to supplement the primary findings, including existing literatures on parking studies and regulations and previous studies related to parking supply and demand. Data processing involved manual extraction and organization using Excel worksheets, ensuring that the acquired data was systematically arranged for analysis. Pilot testing was conducted to validate the data collection methods, ensuring reliability and accuracy before the study was implemented. The findings of the study showed that the users primarily used motorcycle and cars. The observation of the existing conditions indicates that overall parking spaces does not meet the standard and may pose risk to parking users. All parking factors are considered significant to the respondents with closest to the buildings consistently ranking highest and visual appeal lowest. Minor of respondents indicate that parking preferences depend on difference among the groups personal needs and usage conditions. Future parking facility designs should prioritize proximity and functionality while considering the diverse preferences to enhance overall parking satisfaction. The importance of efficient parking regulations and management strategies addresses parking problems without expanding parking supply. This study highlights the need for improving parking efficiency and sustainable solutions, necessary for utilization of parking spaces and managing parking demand effectively.
