Book Description

Foreword + + + + + This is a legal reference book on Philippine laws that are used by Environmental Planners in their practice.The compilers included as much laws as they think are relevant to the Scope of Practice of EnPs, as per Sec. 5 of R.A. 10587 on "plan preparation".NPFPs, RPFPS, PFPPs - "National, Regional or Local development and/or physical framework and comprehensive land use plans."ZOs - "Zoning and related ordinances, codes and other legal issuances, for the development and management, preservation, conservation, rehabilitation, regulation, and control of the environment, including all land, water, air and natural resources."CLUPs/CDPs - Planning and development of a barangay, municipality, city, region, or any portion or combination thereof"; and, MDPs - "Development of a site for a particular need or special purpose, such as economic or ecological zones, tourism development zones, and housing and other estate development projects, including the creation of any other spatial arrangements of buildings, utilities, transport and communications."In Part One of this book, the "Master Summary Matrix, the laws used frequently by EnPs are grouped together into "sectors" or "planning subjects" - such as, "Land Use", "Housing", "Transport", etc.The bulk of the EnP Scope of Practice consists of the formulation of CLUP/ZO/ CDP of cities and municipalities. The HLURB (CLUP/ZO) and the DILG (CDP) guidelines are cited in this reference.The second more important practice of EnPs concerns those defined by environmental laws - under the watch of the DENR, e.g., Philippine Environmental Impact System, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act. Solid Waste Management Act, etc.A third preoccupation of EnPs is the planning of "sectoral programs and projects". Each sector is covered by a law, e.g., a tourism development project must follow the Tourism Act, an Agrarian Reform Community Development Plan - the CARP/DAR law(s), Indigenous Peoples' Development Plan - the IPRA Law.Agricultural projects are guided by the CARP, AFMA/SAFDZ, NPAAD guidelines, etc.; industrial estates/Freeport zones by the EPZA law, protected areas and forestlands by the NIPAS law, Urban Billboards and Signages by the National Building Code, etc..

Book Description

The experience of highly industrialized countries demonstrates that single-minded pursuit of economic develop ment is self-defeating because, by disregarding the other components of what is cxmnonly called "the quality of life", it creates conditions which are not acceptable to large sectors of the population. In the recent past a number of projects, for example, major darns, have had unexpectedly deleterious social, envir onmental and health consequences. As a result, many govern ment department and agencies are investigating the impacts of specific projects and are examining the role impact analysis could play in project planning. The process of environmental impact analysis has been developed, tested and institutionalized in several countries. The objective of the process is a prior identification and definition of likely environmental impacts of projects such as public works, industrial developments and tourist develop ments, as well as the impact of policies and legislative proposals. The environmental impact analysis process also includes the definition of alternative courses of action which would achieve comparable economic objectives while eliminatir .. g some or all of the detrimental environmental consequences. Identification of preventive or precautionary measures, which would minimize the unavoidable impacts, fonn an integral part of the process. The aim should be for a balanced appraisal in which economic, technical, social, environmental and health aspects are fully evaluated. Thus viewed, environmental impact analysis emerges as one of the most powerful planning tools for the prevention of environmental pollution and degradation.

Book Description

Originally published in 1997, Urban Environmental Planning provides a groundbreaking overview of innovative methods and techniques for measuring and managing the environmental effects of urban land uses on other urban activities. Fully revised and updated, this second edition brings together a team of leading environmental planners and policy makers from the US, UK, Europe and SE Asia to address the central questions confronting sustainable urban development. Typical questions include: How can you measure and manage the negative environmental effects of intrusive urban activities such as manufacturing and transport on sensitive land uses including residential and recreational areas? Can a balance be found between reducing these effects through means such as separating conflicting land uses? While other sources identify the need for effective programmes to improve urban environmental quality, this volume describes and assesses analytical methods and implementing programmes practised by leading communities around the world.

Book Description

Although it is commonly asserted that enhanced citizen participation results in better environmental policy and improved enforcement of environmental standards, this hypothesis has rarely been subject to testing on a comparative basis. The contributors to this book set out to study the extent to which citizens can and do exert influence over their urban environments through the legal (and extra-legal) 'gateways' in eleven countries spanning several continents as well as different climates, levels and type of economic development, and national legal and constitutional systems, as well as exhibiting a different set of environmental problems. One interviewee questioned about access to environmental justice, dryly remarked that in his city there was no environment, no justice and no access to either. Yet this view, as will be seen, requires to be nuanced. While few people will be surprised by the finding that legal gateways to environmental justice are largely ineffective, the reasons for this are revealing; but also the richness of detail and the comparisons between the different countries, and also the positive aspects which surfaced in several instances, were indeed both encouraging and sometimes surprising. This book presents the first comparative survey of access to environmental justice, and will be of considerable use to lawyers, policy-makers, activists and scholars who are concerned with the environmental issues which so profoundly affect and afflict our habitat and conditions of social justice throughout the world.
