There shall be support activities that will ensure the efficient
and effective implementation of the programs and projects.
Likewise, capability building programs shall be proposed to
enhance the planners on the aspect of updating, monitoring and
evaluation of the project being implemented. Advocacy on
the 30-year plan shall be performed for a wider dissemination of
the proposed land use, protection, settlements and
infrastructure plans to achieve the goals and objectives of the
plan. Included in the promotion will be the potential of the
region to attract more investors
Public Information Programs. A précis of the plan in
non-technical language will be written and disseminated through
the different media of communication. It will be translated
into a primer to enable ordinary citizens to understand what it
is all about and how it affects them.
Capability Building Program. Efforts shall be exerted for
training and retraining programs on various aspects of physical
and land use planning to enable TWG members to keep abreast of
recent developments in physical planning concepts and
techniques. Training is needed on gender analysis and planning
to better analyze and plan for gender concerns that influence
sectoral policies and plans. Scholarships, both locally and
abroad may be sourced from time to time to help facilitate this
process.
Further Research. Further research shall be conducted
through the Bicol research system or the academe. Results of
studies shall become inputs to the next cycle of planning and
plan refinement. The following is an initial list of research
areas:
-
existing
land use and other thematic maps using a series of satellite
imageries that will show changes in land use over time;
-
map overlay
analysis showing relationships among themes, i.e. land
tenure vs. land use.
