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
NEW ALTERNATIVE CENTERS - if outward 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.
