Infrastructure Development Projects and Access to Services of Farm Families

In general, the study aimed to determine the infrastructure development projects and access to services of farm families. This study used a descriptive-quantitative correlation design. A total of 3 key informants and 90 farm families head composed of the respondents. A survey questionnaire was prepared as an instrument in gathering the required information. The mean of 51.69 years old signifies that most of the respondents' ages were at the prime working age. A majority (95.70%) of the households were headed by male farmers and have no other source of income other than farming. Concrete roads were constructed as early as 2013 and 2018 in the area of study. The frequency and time of travel of the respondents after the construction of the roads going to the market and other places were lessened/reduce. There was an increase in the frequency of respondents’ access to health services. From “sometimes”, to more often than before. Even after the construction of the infrastructure specifically classroom, school attendance and level of enrolment have no significant changes at all. After the development of the infrastructure, it can be seen that the frequency of their access to support services changes from 'seldom' to 'sometimes.' There was no difference in terms of the use of technology before and after the development of the infrastructure. It can be seen that there were no differences before and after in their frequency of access in all services in financial and market institutions
