The document discusses the comprehensive land use planning process mandated for all local government units in the Philippines. It outlines the structure and contents of a comprehensive land use plan (CLUP), which consists of 3 volumes. Volume 1 includes the land use plan and policies. Volume 2 is the zoning ordinance which divides the area into zones and subzones. Volume 3 contains sectoral studies on topics like demography and the environment. The CLUP guides decisions on land development and use over a long-term period, usually 10-20 years. The zoning ordinance is enacted to implement the land use plan.

9. The local government units shall inconformity
with existing laws, continue to prepare the
irrespective Comprehensive Land Use Plans
enacted through zoning ordinances which shall

use of land resources: Provided, that the
requirements for food production, human
settlements, and industrial expansion shall be
taken into consideration in the preparation of
such plans
• Sec. 20 (c), RA 7160

10. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan
(CLUP)
• Document embodying specific proposals for
guiding and regulating the growth and/or
development of a City/ Municipality.
• A long-term plan (10 yrs. minimum)
• A tool for managing land and natural
resources at the local level.

11. In the Philippines, all local government
units (LGUs) from the province, city, and
municipality are mandated to formulate its
Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs).
Land use planning is imperative because of
the scarcity of land. Land use planning aims
to find a balance among competing and
sometimes contradictory uses.

13. The comprehensive plan, also known as a
general plan, master plan or land-use plan, is a
document designed to guide the future actions of a
community. It presents a vision for the future, with
long-range goals and objectives for all activities that
affect the local government.
This includes guidance on how to make
decisions on public and private land development
proposals, the expenditure of public funds,
availability of tax policy (tax incentives), cooperative
efforts and issues of pressing concern, such as
farmland preservation or the rehabilitation of older
neighborhoods areas

14. Most plans are written to provide
direction for future activities over a 10-
to 20-year period after plan adoption.
However, plans should receive a
considered review and possible update
every five years.

44. Policies and Spatial Strategies in the
CLUP and Zoning Ordinance
• Prevent future development in areas highly
susceptible to hazards where possible;
• Keep land use intensity, buildings value, and
occupancy to a minimum in areas where
development cannot be prevented;
• Encourage risk mitigation through proper
urban design, site planning, and building
design in areas where development occurs
and where the above strategies are not viable;

45. Ridge to Reef
Approach

46. Integrated Ecosystems Management
(IEM) Approach (Ridge-to-Reef (R2R),
Watershed)
• a strategy for the integrated management
of land, water and living resources that
promotes conservation and sustainable
use in an equitable way (CBD, 1995)
• The uses of forests and forestlands will
have impacts on its immediate
environment (on-site impact areas) as
well as downstream areas (off-site impact
areas).

47. Ridge to Reef Approach
Ecosystems:
• Forest
• Coastal and
• Biodiversity
Concerns :
• Ancestral domain
• Green Growth
• Heritage
• Conservation and
• Urban design
CCA – DRRM
Mainstreaming in
the CLUP
Climate and Disaster
Risk Assessment
(CDRA)

48. Enhancing LGU Capacity on Disaster Risks
Reduction and Management and Climate
Change Adaptation
The Department of the Interior and
Local Government (DILG) takes an active
role in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA)
and Disaster Risk Reduction Management
(DRRM) per their mandate RA 9729
(Climate Change Act) and RA 10121
(DRRM Act) to provide for capacity
development programs for CCA and
disaster preparedness.
The efforts lean towards enhancing the capacity of Local
Government Units (LGUs) to be at the forefront of the
government’s initiative to adapt, mitigate and prepare for climate
change and disasters.

49. The Department has a three-component
framework to achieve CCA and DRRM
compliant LGUs leading to more resilient and
safe communities. The cycle framework
includes assessment, capacity enhancement
and enabling access to financing to achieve
adaptive and disaster resilient LGUs

50. The Department has a three-component framework to
achieve CCA and DRRM compliant LGUs leading to more
resilient and safe communities. The cycle framework
includes assessment, capacity enhancement and enabling
access to financing to achieve adaptive and disaster resilient
LGUs.
The DILG CM and DRRM Intervention Framework

51. The component on assessment tells us
whether or not our LGUs are institutionally
prepared, what are gaps into becoming resilient.
Meanwhile, capacity enhancement aims to share
knowledge, promote tools and methodologies in
mainstreaming to CLUPs and CDPs, and develop
capabilities of LGUs and communities to be safe
and resilient. Finally, the component on enabling
access to financing shall provide avenues for
resource generation and project development for
the various CCA-DRRM initiatives to materialize.

52. Every Cities/Municipalities should
prepare their CLUP (Comprehensive
Land Use Planning)
The Disaster Risk Reduction &
Climate Change Adaptation
Enhanced is integrated in the plan

53. Rationale of IEM/R2R Approach
• The uplands and the lowlands are economically,
politically, ecologically, and biophysically
interconnected and interdependent
• Impacts of climate change and disaster demand
that planning be comprehensive and integrative
• Provides framework for rational use of PAs and
how it will complement the use of A&D lands.

55. Forest and Forestlands In the CLUP
Analysis of Forests and Forestlands
Elements of forest ecosystem, the primary functions/ goods
and services and inter-relationships of these elements with
the entire ecosystem
Extent of forestlands and status of the forest resources
(volume of forest stock--if inventory is available, vegetative
cover, existing land uses of the forestlands)
Issues and Threats - What are the existing issues and
threats that may further degrade the forest? (e.g., rampant
forest conversion, illegal cutting, other destructive forest
practices, growing population/ settlements)
LGU’s role and function in forest conservation, development,
management, and governance

56. Policies and Spatial Strategies in the
CLUP and Zoning Ordinance
• Protect life and existing development from
losses
• Conserve protective environmental systems
• Prevent future development from creating
conditions that contribute to risk.

57. Land Mapping: Ridge to Reef
From Forest to Coastal
• Forest land Use plan (administration and
jurisdiction)
• Coastal land use plan ( Municipal Water Use
Plan)
• How are you going to use the 15 kms
municipal seashores?

58. PROCESS: Who is Responsible?
 Local Development Council – plan preparation
(M-C) ¼ from private sector representation (F, F, Y,
W, Coops)
 Planning officer coordinate with Line Agencies
(LAs) to complete the plan
 Conduct public hearing
 Comments to be integrated by M-C LDC
 If okey, adopt
 Endorse to SB/SP

59. Seal of Good Governance
• One of the requirements is the CLUP with 3
volumes (Year 1, Year 2, Year 3)

60. Implementation
• From Planning to monitoring
• Monitoring of projects in all phases
• Ownership of the project
• (continue and protect the project)

61. Indicators of a Successful Projects
• Objectives are met
• Outcome/Result
• Interview?
• Farming nakatulong ba?
(w/o the project/ with project)
• Sanitary/Toilet
(w/o the project/ with project)

62. Thoughts
• May budget but no plan?
• To respond to the needs of the
people
