Thesis (Bachelor of Science in Architecture) -- University of the Philippines Diliman June 2023. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, many pet owners didn't have access to essential pet care products and services. Now, with the aftermath of the pandemic, many pet owners will need to be especially vigilant in keeping their pets safe and healthy. This issue will highlight the needs of pets and pet owners in this thesis study. The takeaways from this study will provide valuable insight for developing a pet-friendly community hub environment in today's modern society, which exhibits an overall sense of responsibility toward pets. Finding a modern solution for today's society to meet the needs of pet owners, pets, especially dogs and cats, and the environment will be the focus throughout this study. Another issue that arises during the pandemic is mental health. When people are confined to their homes and have limited mobility, they seek companionship from animals to cope with their stress; however, after the pandemic has passed, we must also help our pets cope with their stress by keeping them in our home when we need to go to work, especially now that people are gradually returning to their normal lives. As humans and as members of the architectural industry, we consciously care about humans and their surroundings and neglect other beings around us. However, the economic impact of human-driven urban development on non-human communities is not trivial and should be acknowledged by architects and urban planners alike. More importantly, considering these needs now will alleviate future strain on our limited natural resources and help ensure a more harmonious relationship between humans and animals in the long run. This thesis explores the design challenges and architectural aims of a community hub for pets and pet owners through qualitative research on the demands of each user. This research aims to gain a better understanding of the needs of users and community members for a community hub and how such a facility could help improve the overall health and wellbeing of all users involved.
