Abstract. The selected five barangays in Roxas, Isabela, exhibit significant disparities in social services, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. This study identifies these gaps and explores targeted development strategies to promote inclusive and sustainable growth. The research addresses the need for a barangay-specific approach by examining key indicators such as demographics, economic activities, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and official records, with responses from local government representatives and community stakeholders. Findings reveal that barangays with larger populations, such as Nuesa, Rizal, and Bantug, require expanded healthcare, education, infrastructure and environmental interventions, while those with limited land and resources must develop alternative income-generating activities. Economic indicators highlight the need for agricultural diversification, improved financial accessibility, and stronger local trade networks. Infrastructure gaps, particularly in irrigation, road connectivity, and post-harvest facilities, impact productivity and market access. The study recommends interventions in four key areas: (1) economic growth—expanding financial services, market access, and agricultural productivity; (2) social development—improving healthcare, education, and welfare programs; (3) infrastructure expansion— enhancing agricultural facilities such as farm to market roads, irrigation, and postharvest and public facilities; and (4) environmental resilience—implementing disaster preparedness and sustainable land-use planning. Strengthening partnerships among local governments, non-government organizations, state universities, and private sector stakeholders is crucial to ensuring long-term development. By adopting a data-driven, stakeholder-supported, and sustainable approach, barangays can achieve greater economic resilience, improved social services, and long-term community development.
