| Summary: | This is a descriptive study on the urinating behavior of male Filipinos in public places conducted in Rizal Park. The focus of this research are the following: 1) factors that make male Filipinos urinate in public places, 2) characteristics of the people who urinate in public places, 3) characteristics of the places where people usually urinate in and 4) psychological implications of the phenomenon. This study used the triangulation method that consists of interview, archival and traces method. Interviews were conducted with violators, non-violators, Western Police District officers, park security guards and park administrators. For data analysis, content analysis and frequency counts were done. Non-probability sampling technique, particularly purposive sampling, was also used in this study. From these methods, the researchers were able to come up with the following: 1) internal and external factors affect the urinating behavior, 2) violators are usually males belonging to the lower socio-economic status, 3) the characteristics of the places where people usually urinate in are covered and 4) violators satisfy their physiological needs and use rationalization to justify their behavior. |
