NEW ALTERNATIVE CENTERS - if outward
DEFINITION OF TERMS
GENTRIFICATION - a process of renovating
deteriorated urban neighborhoods by means of
the influx of more affluent residents. This is a
common and controversial topic in urban
planning. Gentrification can prove the quality of
a neighborhood, while also potentially forcing
relocation of current, established residents and
businesses, causing them to move from a
gentrified area, seeking lower cost housing and
stores.
RELOCATION OF SETTLEMENTS - an effective
way of decentralizing population. But the
economic and social cost are tremendous both
to relocated families and to society.
URBAN LAND DEMAND MANAGEMENT
STRATEGIES - these strategies could be
considered as alternative or supplementary to
supply augmentation strategies.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - means
meeting the needs of the present generation
without compromising the needs of the future
generation.
URBAN RENEWAL OR REDEVELOPMENT -
renewal and redevelopment of slums and
blighted areas usually in increased densities in
inner city areas. The conversion of single-storey
makeshift dwellings to permanent medium rise
walk-up apartments increase residential density.
For urban renewal scheme to become
sustainable, treatment should not be residential
development. Job creation must also be
incorporated in urban renewal and
redevelopment programs.
STREAMLINING DRRM IN PLANNING - is a
process of incorporating disaster and risk
reduction and management in planning
URBAN FORM - pertains to the way future
population and related activities are organized
and distributed over the municipal territory,
taking into account the need to retain some
areas in their open character and to ensure safe
and sustainable environments for human
habitat.
IN-FILLING OF VACANT URBAN LAND -
vacant lands are land parcels bypassed by
development and lying unutilized amidst lands
that have been converted to some type of
functional use. The process of putting these in-
lying vacant lands to use is "in-filling".
POBLACION - is the common term used for the
central, downtown, old town or central business
district area of a Philippine city or municipality,
which may take up the area of a single
barangay or multiple barangays.
expansion of the existing urban areas is
severely constrained and upward expansion
has reached tolerable limits, the alternative
centers may be identified and assisted to grow.
GREEN BELT - is a policy and land use
designation used in land use planning to retain
areas of largely undeveloped, wild, or
agricultural land surrounding or neighboring
urban areas.
RECLAMATION - may be an alternative means
of urban real estate for cities and municipalities
bordering on seashore or lakeshore areas.
DENSIFICATION OD INNER CITY AREAS -
certain sections of the inner city areas may be
underutilized but have the capacity to
accommodate higher densities or greater use
intensity. Existing high rise buildings with low
occupancy rates enclaves of single detached
dwellings, and similar cases of inefficient use of
urban lands must be regulated.
LAND USE PLAN - refers to the rational
approaching of allocating available land
resources as equitably as possible among
competing user groups and for different
functions consistent with the development plan
of the areas and the Program under this act.
URBAN AREAS - refers to all cities regardless
of their population density and to municipalities
with population density of at least 500 persons
per square kilometer.
FUTURE PROOF - is the process of anticipating
the future and developing methods of
minimizing the effects of shocks and stresses of
future events. Future-proofing is used in
industries such as electronics, medical industry,
industrial design, and more recently, in design
for climate change.
URBAN LAND SUPPLY STRATEGIES - to
augment the supply of urban land, the following
strategies may be tried:
In the context of the municipal land use
planning exercise in the Philippines, land use
planning is divided into 2 activities:
(a) municipal-wide or general land use planning.
(b) poblacion or urban land use planning.
This typology corresponds to the prevailing form
of development existing in municipalities and
cities outside the Metro Manila Area or the
National Capital Region (NCR) where urban
forms of development are concentrated mainly
in the poblacion or premier barangay with the
rest of the barangays possessing more of rural
characteristics.
RESILIENCY - is a term much bandied about
these days in the planning and development
professions. Buildings, plans, economies and
even cities are expected to be resilient to
unforeseen externalities in a world of rapidly
changing technologies, climates, and cultures.

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN - CLUP -

refers to a document embodying specific
proposals for guiding, regulating growth and/or
development. The land use plan allocates and
delineates different land uses in a community
and the structures built upon them. The term
"comprehensive" means that the plan not only
encompasses all geographical parts of the local
government unit but also includes the different
sectors such as physical, environment, social,
economic, administrative and fiscal matters.

LAND USE PLANNING - refers to the rational

and judicious development, utilization and
management of land resources in a sustainable
manner to ensure that needs of the present
generation can be met without jeopardizing the
needs of the future generations.

CONVERSION - agricultural land conversion -

for this strategy, the DA's network of protected
agricultural lands should be used as guide.

URBANIZABLE AREAS - refers to sites and

lands which, considering present characteristics
and prevailing conditions, display marked and
great potential of becoming urban areas within
the period of 5 years.

IMPROVED RURAL SERVICES - by improving

the level of welfare of rural residents their
desire to migrate to the urban areas might be
dampened to some extent. To create this
desired effect, care must be exercised so that
particular intervention will tens weaken rather
that strengthen the rural-urban migration.

ZONING ORDINANCE - an implementing tool

of the CLUP which provides the different land
use districts of the city/municipality. The
boundary description of the various zoning
districts and the allowable or permitted uses per
zoning districts. The CLUP becomes enforceable
with the enactment of the zoning ordinance and
thus becomes the basis for the issuance of
locational clearance.
