Chapter 3

SCOT ANALYSIS
This chapter contains analysis of facts to address the various issues identified during the research
process. Each analysis explains the issue and provides a brief background. The organizations,
departments, and agencies responsible for initiating each action are identified. In most cases, other
stakeholders will be involved in the process as well, as solutions are found and issues resolved.
Actions have been given a priority ranking of 1, 2, or 3. All actions are important, but this ranking
will be used to decide which actions should be done first, or to help make choices among actions when
financial and human resources are limited. Priority 1 items are essential to implement the plan and, in some
cases, must be done first in order to enable other actions. Priority 2 items are important, but are not critical
to immediate plan implementation. Priority 3 items are desirable, but need not be done immediately, or may
need other actions done first.

Transports in the area. Public Utility Jeeps headed to Daraitan are only available at 1pm in the afternoon

needed it in any cases that occur.
