environmental planning practices to analyze and assess complex problems related to
actual land utilization, land use change and Land use area allocations and
optimization. Ability to analyze of a number of thematic maps needed for a better
appreciation of the land use trend, spatial development strategies, development
thrusts, and future land and infrastructure requirements in a land use plan. Strong
analytical and critical thinking skills to analyze potential disaster/climate risk-related
consequences of a project, identify environmental issues concerning project design
and execution, assess land Use changes and inconsistencies, tenurial issues, etc.
Understand technical issues on land utilization and categorization based on various
government standards.Monitoring and Evaluation Skills – Ability to collect
quantitative and qualitative data using excel, access, and GIS analysis tools to
identify success indicator needed for any M&E to achieving desired outcomes for a
project related to poverty reduction, environment protection and DRR. Experience in
profiling demographic, social and economic indicators such as population age group
by gender, labor force by gender, livelihood, source of income such as fishery,
agriculture forestry, etc and other socioeconomic, gender-responsive indicators and
etc. Experience in developing baseline information for vision reality gap analysis and
rating key outcomes and results indicators which will serve as basis for monitoring
and rating the comprehensive land use plan implementation. Experience in

populace or critical infrastructures which can be used as inputs in mainstreaming
DRR into the land use plan or technical inputs to the formulation of spatial strategies
and mitigation measures to cut disaster risks and impacts of natural calamities of
vulnerable or exposed communities, critical infrastructure and other assets. Ability to
custom large to small-scale briefing maps and presentation materials for reporting
and profiling, planning and operations, technical consultations and public hearings.
5. GIS Skill to Collect & Integrate Spatial Data (23 years of experience) - Ability to plan
and develop integrated methods for data accumulation on the various sources and

measure quality, positional accuracy and limitations of geospatial information and
ability to field validate raw maps on the ground using modern tools and/or
indigenous techniques. Ability to identify data gaps related to territorial jurisdiction
and administrative units, demography, taxation, voters precincts, environmentally
critical areas, etc. and ability to assess its quality, accuracy and use limitations of
maps and data integrity. In depth GIS software operation skills e.g., ArcGIS Desktop
10. x, ArcPAD, ArcGIS Explorer, ILWIS, MapInfo, AutoCAD Map, Open Source GIS

7. GIS Skills in Spatial Database Design and Development (10 years experience) –
Ability to design a spatial database, define data structures along with rules,
relationships and geometric properties (such as point, line, and polygon and types of
coordinates) of feature classes, raster, and attribute tables as well as the set of
columns in each table of each key dataset in a geodatabase intended for land use
planning, disaster risk assessment, tax mapping, political mapping, etc. Use
Microsoft Visio and other tools to generate series of graphics of datasets and its
elements. Define coordinate system and spatial properties for each dataset; includes
