Note: This is a first attempt to provide guidance in preparing the information product needed for the CLUP and is intended to be used hand-in-hand with Volumes 1 and 2. As more knowledge is gathered, the IP will be updated. Likewise, updates may be required due to new or changing land-use policies. Furthermore, data will continuously be prepared by the custodians, which may require updates. .For the latest update, please check HLURB Homepage: http://www.hlurb.gov.ph/ or contact HLURB, telephone +632 927 2698.

	Step 1: Provide a Background and Identify the Objectives of the GIS Analysis
	Health is a major concern for many communities today, particularly the delivery of health services to areas which are not only inaccessible, but are as well the locations of the more needy constituents of the community, who cannot afford to pay for health services on their own. It is the primary concern of the LGU that these health services should reach these areas and establish facilities like barangay health centers to cater to a fundamental need of the people. The objective is to show the adequacy of the provision of Health Services accessible to the whole municipality/city.
	Step 2: Identify the Indicators to Evaluate Objective Fulfillment
	Define Planning Standards for accessibility, service provision/consumer ratio, consumer/housed service, physical condition of buildings and plot, etc. Standard Rural Health Units (RHU) Personnel Population 1 Municipal Health Officer (MHO) per 20,000 1 Public Health Nurse (PHN) per 20,000 1 Rural Sanitary Inspector (RSI) per 20,000 1 Rural Heath Mid-wife (RHM) per 5,000 Source : RA 7305 (Magna Carta for Health Workers) Annex V of Volume V – Land Use of HLURB Guidelines
	Step 3: Create the Database
	Attributes
	The following attribute tables may be used for this sector. Those in bold are used for the examples here. SE13 Facility by Type and Ownership, Year YYYY  SE14 Facility by Capacity and Condition, Year, YYYY  SE15 Facility by Requirements by Barangay, Year, YYYY  SE16 General Health Situation for the Last Five Years, Year YYYY  SE17 Ten Leading Causes of Mortality for the Last Three Years, Year YYYY  SE18 Malnourished Children for the Last Three Years, Year YYYY
	Spatial
	Data can be obtained during the GPS survey. A print out of SE 14 can be filled-up by the hospital administrator during the conduct of GPS readings.
	Hospitals
	City/Municipal Health Office
	Barangay Health Center
	The locations of these facilities are overlaid with the base map
	Step 4: Analyze the Data
	The following Analyses layers can be prepared based on the Baseline Information:
	Barangays without any health facilities
	The data can also be overlaid with the population density map to see how much of the population is being served by the health center and also how much is not served (those without health facility).
	In order to reach more people, some LGUs assign Medical Health Officers to the barangays to serve and hold clinics. Getting the total population from all the barangays being served by a Medical Health Officer will show whether it is within the standard.
	Barangays served way below the “ Medical Health Officer to Population Standard”
	Barangays served 50% below “Medical Health Officer to Population Standard”
	Barangays served slightly below “Medical Health Officer to Population Standard”
	Barangays served within or above “Medical Health Officer to Population Standard”
	If there is only one Medical Health Officer or there are more than one but are not holding clinics in barangays outside the Municipal/City Health Office, their catchment area should be the actual barangays they serve in the Municipal/City Health Office. Those Barangays which are too far away from and inaccessible to the Municipal/City Health Office and are not regularly visited by the Municipal Health Officers should be considered not served.
	Step 5: Present the Data
	Show the areas of those barangays that require a health service facility (diagonal line fill). Show also those barangays with 50% below the Municipal Health Officer to Population Standard (shaded orange) with those Way Below the Municipal Health Officer to Population Standards (shaded orange), to show more options for solutions. The solution to this problem will not only involve hiring additional MHOs but giving them additional service areas.
