PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Social Acceptability

Social acceptance affects people of all sorts and includes children, teenagers, and adults. It is the fact that most people, in order to fit in with the others, look and act like them. It stops (mostly) everyone from truly being themselves. It's is also the reason most people look painfully average.

Feelings of acceptance come from being acknowledged as someone who is intrinsically worthwhile and/or having characteristics that are seen as worthwhile. This could be as big as being in a role that allows someone to contribute to society, or it could be as small (yet no less important) as being admired for one’s way of being in the world. Belonging is such a fundamental human need, and being accepted brings a sense of belonging. The majority of people need and want to belong to all sorts of groups and places such as families, friends, neighborhoods, workplaces, clubs, and interest groups. Belonging and feelings of deep acceptance are like being ‘home’ in a relationship. There is a sense of comfort within the relationship, and a sense of being safe and secure.

Way of Life

It denotes the interests, opinions, behaviors, and behavioral orientations of an individual, group, or culture. The typical pattern of behavior of a person or group. A rural environment has different lifestyles compared to an urban metropolis. Location is important even within an urban scope. A particular neighborhood affects lifestyle due to varying degrees of affluence and proximity to open spaces. For example, in areas within a close proximity to the sea, a surf culture or lifestyle is often present. The concept of Lifestyle Management has developed as a result of the growing focus on lifestyle.

Cultural Heritage

Culture is how people in a community live. It includes their ideas, language, religion, and history. Culture is a strong part of people's lives. It influences their views, their values, their humor, their hopes, their loyalties, and their worries and fears. It is the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit of future generations. All cultures are alike in some ways because all people have the same needs. All people communicate. How they communicate depends on their culture. People in different cultures use different languages. All people need shelter. The kind of shelter they build depends on their culture.

It is becoming clear that in order to build communities that are successful at improving conditions and resolving problems, we need to understand and appreciate many cultures, establish relationships with people from cultures other than our own, and build strong alliances with different cultural group.

People Needs and Wants

People needs is defined as lack of the means of subsistence, it is something you have to have for example food while people wants is defined as having a strong desire for something.

We all know what needs are--things that are necessary, that are required for some reason. They are similar to wants, and in fact, for those of us doing community work, there's quite a bit of overlap. If we want someone to do something for us, for example, they may say that they need something in return. A secretary might need extra cash if you want him to work overtime. A reporter might need your word that she will be given the "inside scoop" on future goings-on if she gives you good press this week. And so, while this sections is properly titled "Understanding people's needs," it's important to realize that a good leader will understand what people just really want, too.

Religion and Beliefs

Religion means any religion, it is a particular system of faith and worship while belief means any religious or philosophical belief, it is an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists.

Communities come to have a feeling all their own, and that sense of what makes one community different than another comes from the collective beliefs, values and expectations of all members of that community

Population

Population is about people, and the dwellings, locations, and environments that people live in. A population can be defined in many ways, for example by age, ethnicity, family and household composition, birthplace, or location. It is a particular section, group, or type of people or animals living in an area or country. The size and composition of a country’s population can have a powerful influence on a country’s development. For instance, population size, composition, and distribution influence:

• the range of industries a country can support• the pool of talent that can be called on• the potential of communities• the demand for and supply of government services.

Politics and Governance

Politics is the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power while governance is the action or manner of governing.

It refers to the processes for making all the decisions and plans that affect life in the community, whether made by public or private organizations or by citizens. For community governance to be effective, it must be about more than process, it also must be about getting things done in the community. And what gets done must make a

Page 4: xyzer_cpd

difference. So, it is crucial to measure results. But what should be done, and what results should be measured? There is no standard answer. The most important results vary from one community to another, and different people within a community have different perceptions about what the community should try to improve and how success should be measured. So, it is vital to engage citizens in deciding what to do and to engage them in deciding what results to measure or what performance goals or targets to measure against. Then, when targeted results are achieved, they will be results that matter to the people of the community.

Availability of Utilities

Services include education, public safety and emergency response, health care, public water and sewer, trash and recycling, and government administration. Coordination of these services is complicated by the fact that services are provided by a range of public, quasi-public and private sector entities.

Growth Potential

It is the future ability to generate larger profits, expand its workforce and ramp up its production. It is often a barometer for investment interest from public and private investors, venture capitalists and other stakeholders. Community Planner should unlock potential, accelerate growth and shape communities through economic development.

Resources

It is a stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively.

Many community organizations, not surprisingly, focus on the needs or deficits of the community. Every community has needs and deficits that ought to be attended to.

But it is also possible to focus on assets and strengths -- emphasizing what the community does have, not what it doesn't. Those assets and strengths can be used to meet those same community needs; they can improve community life.

Economics

The goal of community sustainability is to establish local economies that are economically viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible. Achieving this goal requires participation from all sectors of the community, both to determine community needs and to identify and implement innovative and appropriate solutions. This section presents information from a variety of sources on approaches and techniques used successfully in different communities to develop key aspects of their local economies on a sustainable basis.

monitors, and evaluates the programs, projects and performance of the implementing shelter agencies.

The HUDCC has four major key result areas which include the formulation of plans and policies on housing and urban development, development and supervision of innovative programs and projects for tenure security, urban renewal and other support services, provision of overall administration and supervision to Key Shelter Agencies (KSAs), and provision of technical assistance to the Local Government Units (LGUs) on the delivery of housing services to their constituents and support to the general public on appropriate information on housing and referral of specific concerns for action of appropriate agencies.

The HUDCC together with its attached Key Shelter Agencies addresses various issues in the areas of housing finance, housing regulation, housing production and institutional development.

2. HLURB (Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board)

The HLURB, as the lead agency in the provision of technical assistance to local government units in the preparation of comprehensive land use plans; regulation of housing, land development and homeowners association; and adjudications of disputes related thereto, is committed to deliver its services with competence and integrity in order to satisfy its stakeholder.

Twin roles of enhancing and reinforcing rational housing and real estate service delivery via a triad of Strategies namely; policy, planning and regulation. The HLURB pursues activities to attain rational land use as specified in a number of directives.

4. HGC (Home Guaranty Corporation)

HGC supports homeownership among Filipinos by encouraging banks and financial institutions to lend to individual home buyers and housing developers. It assures lenders and investors in housing by issuing loan and securitization guarantees. The HMDF/Pag-IBIG Fund and NHMFC, however, directly lend money to housing developers and individual/group borrowers. Processing of guaranty line application, interchangeably

known as guaranty facility, under RA No. 8763 involves the determination of the eligibility of a financial institution for the guaranty and incentives provided under the law. The Guaranty line extended to the financial institution by the HGC is a facility whereby the housing-related loans and financial transactions may be enrolled for guaranty coverage. Mandates

Page 9: xyzer_cpd

7. PAG-IBIG (Pagtutulungan sa Kinabukasan: Ikaw, Bangko, Industria at Gobyerno)

Pag-IBIG harnesses these four sectors of our society to provide its members with adequate housing through as effective savings scheme.

The birth of the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF), more popularly known as the Pag-IBIG Fund, was an answer to the need for a national savings program and an affordable shelter financing for the Filipino worker. The Fund was established on 11 June 1978 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1530 primarily to address these two basic yet

equally important needs. Under the said law, there were two agencies that administered the Fund. The Social Security System handled the funds of private employees, while the Government Service Insurance System handled the savings of government workers.

CoverageThese guidelines shall cover the development and construction of low cost

housing units inMetro Manila and highly urbanized cities, and socialized housing units in the provinces by Pag-IBIG Fund.

Objectives

a. To provide low-cost and socialized house and lot packages/condominium units either for rent or for sale to low income Pag-IBIG members who cannot afford the housing packages available in the market.

b. To enable Pag-IBIG Fund to perform its mandate by using its funds to provide decent and affordable condominium units as well as house and lot packages for sale to eligible Pag-IBIG Fund members nationwide.

c. To stimulate competition that will bring about better housing packages in terms of price and development that will redound to the benefit not only of Pag-IBIG Fund members but also of the public in general.

d. To help solve the housing backlog by generating further demand for housing through the provision of affordable condominium units and house and lot packages.

e. To equitably distribute nationwide economic opportunities generated from housing production, and in the process, stimulate stability brought about by economic development.

The emphasis on man as the center of all forms of social and economic development calls for the provision of basic social services needed by man, including, among others, water facilities, power, adequate shelter, medical services ,sports and recreation, and livelihood opportunities.

9. CLUP (Comprehensive Land Use Plan)

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan or CLUP is a long term plan for the management of local territories. When enacted into a Zoning Ordinance, the CLUP becomes a statutory plan whose provisions are not merely indicative but are legally enforceable.

FUNCTIONS OF THE CLUP

• Policy guide for zoning and other regulatory measures• Properly locates all land-using activities• Protects and conserves resources to last for all time

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.

10. PUD (Planned unit development)

The term Planned Unit Development (PUD) is used to describe a type of development and the regulatory process that permits a developer to meet overall community density and land use goals without being bound by existing zoning requirements. PUD is a special type of floating overlay district which generally does not

Page 11: xyzer_cpd

appear on the municipal zoning map until a designation is requested. This is applied at the time a project is approved and may include provisions to encourage clustering of buildings, designation of common open space, and incorporation of a variety of building types and mixed land uses. A PUD is planned and built as a unit thus fixing the type and location of uses and buildings over the entire project. Potential benefits of a PUD include more efficient site design, preservation of amenities such as open space, lower costs for street construction and utility extension for the developer and lower maintenance costs for the municipality.

A type of building development and also a regulatory process. As a building development, it is a designed grouping of both varied and compatible land uses, such as housing, recreation, commercial centers, and industrial parks, all within one contained development or subdivision.

II. Bagong Lipunan

Marcos claimed that martial law was the prelude to creating his Bagong Lipunan, a "New Society" basedon new social and political values. Marcos had a vision of a Bagong Lipunan (New Society) similar to Indonesian President Suharto's "New Order administration". He used the years of martial law to implement this vision. According to Marcos' book Notes on the New Society, it was a movement urging the poor and the privileged to work as one for the common goals of society and to achieve the liberation of the Filipino people through selfrealization. During his martial law regime, Marcos confiscated and appropriated by force and duress many businesses and institutions, both private and public, and redistributed them to his own family members and close personal friends. These relatives and associates of Marcos then used these as fronts to launder proceeds from institutionalized graft and corruption in the different national governmental agencies as "crony capitalism" for personal benefit. Graft and corruption via bribery, racketeering, and embezzlement became more prevalent during this era. Marcos also silenced the free press, making the state press the only legal one.

However, re-blocking may also be defined as the rehabilitation of communities say a town or a city as a part of massive physical redevelopment. Re-blocking may also refer to the demolition or rebuilding of human settlements which are considered as hazardous, illegal, or devastated.

8 Millennium Goals of the United Nations

The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest.

Goal 1

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Extreme poverty rates have fallen in every developing region. The target of halving the percentage of people suffering from hunger is within reach. South-eastern Asia is the first developing region to reach the hunger reduction target ahead of 2015.The slowing of economic growth spells continued job losses, with young people bearing the brunt of the crisis.

Goal 2

Achieve universal primary education. Developing regions have made impressive strides in expanding access to primary education. Even after 4 years of primary schooling, as many as 250 million children cannot read and write, worldwide. Early school leaving remains persistent. Among the 137 million children who entered first grade in 2011, 34 million are likely to leave before reaching the last grade of primary school. Literacy rates are rising. Poverty, gender and place of residence are key factors

keeping children out of school. Progress in reducing the number of out-of-school children has come to a standstill as international aid to basic education in 2011 fell for the first time since 2002.

Goal 3

Promote gender equality and empower women. Gender gaps in access to education have narrowed, but disparities remain among regions in all levels of education, particularly for the most excluded and marginalized. Women are gaining more power in the world’s parliaments, boosted by quota systems. Women are gaining ground in the labour market, but in every developing region still tend to hold less secure jobs.

Page 17: xyzer_cpd

Goal 4

Reduce child mortality. Gains have been made in child survival since 1990, making it possible to increase child survival for future generations. Despite challenges, many countries with very high child death rates in 1990 are beating the odds and lowering under-five mortality rates, showing progress for all children is achievable.

Goal 5

Improve maternal health. Maternal mortality has declined by nearly half since 1990. Births attended by skilled health personnel have increased; however, disparities in progress within countries and populations groups persist. African countries show wide disparities in maternal and reproductive health.

Goal 6

Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases The incidence of HIV is declining in most regions. The MDG target of halting and beginning to reverse the spread of HIV has been met. Global malaria deaths fell by an estimated 26 per cent from 2000 to 2010.

Goal 7

Ensure environmental sustainability. More than 240,000 people a day—1.9 billion people —gained access to a latrine, toilet or other improved sanitation facilities from 1990 to 2011. An estimated 863 million people reside in slums in the developing world. Although more land and marine areas are under protection, many species of birds, mammals and others are heading for extinction at a fast pace. Forests are disappearing at a rapid pace, despite the establishment of forest policies and

laws supporting sustainable forest management in many countries. Marine fish stocks globally are now below the level at which they can produce maximum sustainable

Page 18: xyzer_cpd

yields. The Montreal Protocol has led to a 98 per cent reduction in the consumption of ozone-depleting substances since 1986. Global carbon dioxide emissions have increased by more than 46 per cent since 1990, with a five per cent increase between 2009 and 2010.

Goal 8

Develop a global partnership for development. The trade climate continues to improve for developing and least developed countries. Debt service ratios are one-quarter less from their 2000 level, lessening the financial burden on developing countries. The global financial crisis and Euro-zone turmoil continue to take a toll on official development assistance (ODA).Aid is being increasingly concentrated in a small number of countries. Mobile-cellular subscriptions are moving towards

saturation levels. The growth in the number of individuals using the Internet in developing countries continues to outpace that in developed countries, Prices for essential medicines in low and lower middle-income countries were, on average, 3.3 times higher than international reference prices in public sector facilities and 5.7 times higher in private sector facilities.

UNITED NATION’S SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janerio, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor and report on implementation of the agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.

The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles, were strongly
