4.06.09 Socio-Economic: Industry

Mon, 11/19/2007 - 10:46

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  
  An industrial area is a site where people go to work and goods are produced. Thus, it contributes to the revenue of the municipality where it is situated. However, it is also a site that often has negative influence on the environment. Some industries pollute air and water; some disturb because of noise; others demand a lot of space, or, their presence aesthetically deteriorates the neighborhood. A prerequisite for dealing with and/or analyzing these factors are: a map showing the location of industries, together with good attribute data.

The objective of this information product is to present an inventory of industries. The inventory will also be a starting point when looking into new locations or expansion areas for existing and/or new industries in the future.

 
  Step 2: Identify the Indicators to be Used  
  The industries can be classified in different ways. For an inventory within the CLUP an easy classification based on the hazard and pollution potential should be used. Hazardous industries constitute fire and health hazards, i.e. their wastes have large amounts of combustible and toxic materials. Pollutive industries discharge large amounts of air, water and solid pollutants. The classification categories are:
  1. Light Industry: non-pollutive and non-hazardous or hazardous
  2. Medium Industry: pollutive and non-hazardous or hazardous
  3. Heavy Industry: highly pollutive or highly hazardous
 
  Step 3: Create the Database  
  Attributes  
  The following attribute tables may be used for this sector (the one in bold font is used in the example).
SE39 Industry 
SE48 Summary of Secondary Economic Activities by Employment, Volume of Products
 
  Spatial  
  The feature type will be points.  
  The industrial types can have the following symbols:  
  Light Industry
  Medium Industry
  Heavy Industry
  Step 4: Analyze the Data  
  There is no analysis presented in this Information Product. As stated in step 1, this IP is an inventory and can be a first step in an analysis of new locations of industries. The industry layer could also be advantageous to use in other planning aspects, e.g. buffer zones around heavy industries can act as a buffer for communities and to prevent encroachment of residential areas in the vicinity.  
  Step 5: Present the Data  
  This map presents an inventory of the industries within the municipality. The different types are shown with different symbols.
