The thesis title is "Salakot: Redeveloping Hat Lady Farm into an Off-Grid Farm Tourism Camp Integrating Organic Architecture in Brgy. Guba, Cebu City." The purpose of this study is to explore the transformative potential of converting Hat Lady Farm into an off-grid farm resort, blending organic architecture seamlessly. By promoting both tourism and agriculture, the study aims to create a harmonious environment that facilitates individuals' active engagement in agricultural practices while supporting environmental conservation and fostering income growth for farmers. This endeavor extends benefits to various stakeholders, including the local Barangay, the Cebu Organic Agriculture Cooperative (COAC), the farm owner, Hat Lady Farm farmers, tourists, architects, engineers, businessmen, stakeholders, and students. The study envisions boosting the local economy, enhancing residents' quality of life, promoting sustainable farming practices, providing an immersive learning experience, and creating a profitable venture with long-term benefits for all involved parties. 

The data we need is to be used for our data gathering for the space requirements and design guidelines of an agritourism site. The data that is needed here will be used between november 9, 2023  to december 16, 2023.
