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, revisions may be required due to new or changing land-use policies. Furthermore, data will continuously be prepared by the custodians, which may require updates.

| Step 1: Provide a Background and Identify the Objectives of the GIS Analysis | ||
| Major policies and programs against crimes and violence include official policy against domestic violence, crime and weapon control prevention policy and victims of violence assistance programs. The objective is to use GIS to display the crime situation in the municipality/city and the constraints to combat crime that exist today. This information will be used in Step 4 (see Volume 1….) The users of this data are: LGU staff, officials and the general public. The protection information products can be used by the local Philippine National Police.
The final product of this activity will be digital maps showing the location, type and frequency of crimes in relation to the distance, condition and manpower of the police precincts and barangay outposts. |
||
| Step 2: Identify the Indicators to Evaluate Objective Fulfillment | ||
| Existence of areas considered as inaccessible to the police or considered by the public to be dangerous or unsafe.
Below are examples of indicators that can be used in analyzing the provisions of protective services: Ideal Police-to-Population ratio 1 : 500 (Sec 27 of RA 6975 DILG Act) For Jail Protection, a jailhouse should be established. (Chapter V, Sec 62-63 of RA 6975) Source: Volume II : Social Sector (HLURB Guidelines) Additional Standards from Guidelines
Source: Annex V (Sectoral Standards) of Volume V : Land Use (HLURB Guidelines) |
||
| Step 3: Create the Database | ||
| Attribute | ||
| The following attribute tables may be used for this sector. Those in bold are used for the examples
SE26 Police Station Manpower and Condition, Year YYYY |
||
| The Custodian of sector data is the Local Philippine National Police (PNP) station | ||
| Spatial | ||
| Location of crime (point) | symbol | |
| Location of precincts (point) | symbol | |
| Step 4: Analyze the Data | ||
| Manpower and location of precincts would be a security concern for most LGUs especially the 4th – 6th class LGUs. For these towns/cities, the police station will most likely to be situated in the urban areas where the possibility of insurgents hiding within the inaccessible territories is high. | ||
| The following Analyses layers can be prepared based on the Baseline Information: | ||
| Risks | ||
| Area/place with a high frequency of crime ( polygon) | symbol | |
| Physical Condition of police station | ||
| Critical. The condition of buildings, equipment, vehicles is insufficient and/or so poor so that the police cannot service the catchment area sufficiently. | ||
| Poor: The condition of buildings, equipment, vehicles is fast deteriorating so it is likely that the police cannot service the catchment area sufficiently within the planning period. | ||
| Fair: Police services can be conducted without any serious constraints. | ||
| Step 5: Present the Data | ||
| No standardized symbology for criminal offenses is found so far in the Philippines. The photo below shows a map and a legend from a local police station. The given GIS example shows how violent offenses can be symbolized according to the crime committed: | ||
