Land Use Based Barangay Development Planning LUBBDP

Land Use Based Barangay Development Planning
(LUB-BDP)
2
Rationale 1 Reality in the Uplands

• Rampant land degradation pose a major
  environment and development threat.
• Forestlands rapidly converted into agricultural
  lands through unsustainable farming systems.

• Poor management of upland resources by
  stakeholders (upland communities, LGUs, national
  agencies, etc.)
• Poor regulatory measures due to overlapping
  conflicting laws such as PD 705, NIPAs Law, IPRA,
  Mining Act, etc.

• SEVERE POVERTY
• - poor quality of life
• - low income
• - limited access to
• development
• - high vulnerability
• and environment
• risk
• - powerlessness

Rationale 2 Weak Response to the situation in
the Uplands

• Limited participation of LGUs in managing the
  uplands despite the devolved DENR functions
• Existing planning system is project-oriented,
  sectoral-focused and limited integration of
  concerns on environment protection and natural
  resource management
• Inadequate and inaccurate data on existing land
  use plans of LGUs
• Macro-level watershed management programs/ plans
  not trickled down at the community level
• Less effective, limited impact and not
  sustainable projects and programs for uplands
  communities.

What is a Land-Use Based Barangay Development
Plan?

• Centerpiece document that identifies the
  development priorities, needs and interests of
  the local community

• Comprehensive development plan of the local
  communities anchored on the physical plan of the
  lands and its natural resources within the
  barangay.

Workable, cohesive and rational plan that has a
clear visualization of locally-delineated
forestlands, agricultural lands and other land
use classifications that will serve as the basis
for the sustainable uses of limited upland
resources within the barangay.

Purpose of the LUB-BDP

• To empower and capacitate the barangay local
  government units in regulating and managing the
  lands and natural resources within the local
  communities and ensure that continued denudation
  and degradation of upland areas and forestlands
  are not further sustained by an expanded use of
  upland areas for agricultural purposes.

To improve existing local development (sectoral
and physical) development planning process of
the Local Government Units by facilitating
participatory land use planning at the barangay
level and integrating these plans to the
Municipal Land Use Plans.

Approaches

• Community-based and participatory involving all
  stakeholders, foremost the barangay community
• Land use-based and natural resources management
  oriented
• Use of accurate/reliable and technically
  acceptable maps
• Legitimate and consciously mainstreamed in the
  LGUs
