Traffic congestion in the Philippines is evidently a widespread issue that pervades into the cultural and behavioral urbanity. The study pursues understanding the connection between the traffic congestion and land use of Barangay San Bartolome, located in the heart of Quezon City. Moreover, the study surfaces how this relationship manifests in the economic and sociocultural dimension of its urban residence. The rationality of the study considers that traffic congestion is a by-product of a systemic issue, in which multiple sectors contribute to its continuity. Part of the study’s methods include understanding the population’s characteristics, identifying the major roads, identifying the types of transportation, and plotting the schedules of the residents. Upon analysis of varied sources from Barangay San Bartolome, it has been concluded that imbalances in land use demand, poor planning distribution of zones, unorganized motorist culture, and the locality’s concentrated population were major agents of traffic congestion. Long-term, inter administrative approaches from the local level up to the regional level must be employed to address the root causes of traffic congestion in Barangay San Bartolome.
