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 | ||
| The agriculture sector should support the municipality/city in providing food. The more effective the agriculture program, the more self-supportive is the municipality/city. Long distance transportation of produce is also avoided when food is locally produced, and this is an environmental benefit. On the other hand, reforms in the agricultural sector tend to lead to a diminishing number of workers needed and the use of more advanced biocides and fertilizers. The former tendency will encourage urbanization while the latter will negatively affect the environment.
The objective of the GIS analysis should be to present an inventory of the different land uses within the agricultural sector. The inventory also serves as background data to determine if there is enough agricultural land sustainable for food production, to determine the types of crops, livestock, poultry and fisheries and other farm support facilities, and, to determine the location of the irrigated agricultural lands. Based on the suggested data tables, this presentation will also assist the planner to present and monitor agricultural land under different restrictions/programs. Refer to the information product ‘4.09.04 SAFDZ’ that presents prime agricultural areas. |
||
| Step 2: Identify the Indicators of Agriculture Production | ||
| Indicators of the municipality’s capacity to support itself in agricultural production are shown in the food requirement table below. (Table from HLURB Guidelines Volume III – Economic Sector.)
Per Capita Dietary/Food Requirement |
||
| Step 3: Create the Database | ||
| Attributes | ||
| There are four tables of socio-economic information to prepare for Step 4. There is also a project management table for projects within the agricultural sector and an infrastructure table for irrigation systems, which add value to the agricultural analysis.
SE42 Crop Production, Year |
||
| Spatial | ||
| The feature types of the above mentioned datasets are polygons, points (SE45, PM04) and polylines (IS15). If available, it is recommended that an aerial photo is used as backdrop to facilitate the digitizing of the polygons. | ||
| The following layers are prepared: | ||
| Agricultural areas for crop production |  |
|
| Agricultural areas for livestock and poultry production |  |
|
| Fishing grounds and aquaculture production |  |
|
| Support facilities and services: Milling Cold storage Multipurpose drying Pavement Reefer vans Market center Warehouse Other |

| Projects approved or funded within the agricultural sector | ||
| Irrigation system -private -public |

|
| Step 4: Analyze the Data | ||
| Within this information product, no further analysis will be done except the resulting map. However, starting from this IP, several analyses can be performed. For example, if the data collected on volume and value of crop and livestock production is consistent and of fair quality, a land revenue analysis can be undertaken. The value of the crop/production revenue is divided by the size of the actual area. A new ‘revenue’ layer will present the result using a color scale. | ||
| Step 5: Present the Data | ||
| Map presenting agricultural land uses (crop and livestock production), irrigation systems, fishing grounds, support facilities, irrigation systems and agricultural projects that are approved or funded for implementation. | ||
