There are even no recorded major airport upgrades that have been made in the structural until the year 2007 when the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) spearheaded the renovation done in the Airport Building. Last 2013, another proposed project for the reorientation of the runway was again approved and expected to be completed by 2019. An internal change was also made in the system last March of 2014 when from 7 flight operation schedules per day, it decreased to 4 by April of 2014 caused by the sudden drop in tourism. (See Appendix B for the table of the Naga Airport’s Operation: A. Statistical Data of Year 2007 – 2014). Although the rate in tourism is not a major factor, it is foreseen that if the capacity of the airport building increases to 8 times its current capacity, it will cause growth in tourism afterwards. The increase in tourism from 2011 to 2014 causes insignificant reason for a reconstruction of the airport building and it was observed that delay on flights is the root cause of congestion in the area. These delays may be external factors to the airlines like delays initiated by weather and unpunctuality by the National Airspace System, but more or less, most delays are under the control of the airline itself. Based on the records of the Naga Airport, the worst scenario that caused congestion in the area was when 3 sets of flights were simultaneously waiting their airlifts in the departure

People could now buy goods that were made in places faraway because access was easier to towns and cities and people’s experiences grew as they were able to be more mobile (309). The roads were inadequate in 1800, so the federal government funded the National Road in 1808 to establish its dedication to improve the roads in the nation and so then by 1839 the East and West would be tied together (309).

In her review of Supersizing Urban America by Chin Jou, titled “'Supersizing Urban America': How U.S. Policies Encouraged Fast Food To Spread”, Tove Danovich discusses the arching topic of national policy and the effect it had with Americans waistbands. Danovich reaches the conclusion the source of the abundance of fast food in underdeveloped communities can be traced back to the 1960s race riots and the formation of the Small Business Association.

Likewise, the key stake-holders which are the individual airline operator who rented the space are the one could be impacted the most by the outcome of the new automated baggage system, and yet they were excluded out in the initial planning discussion and decision making.
