Chap 5 Comprehensive Plaaning
5.1 INTRODUCTION:
The term comprehensive planning is most often used by urban planners in the United States.
In Canada, comprehensive planning is generally known as strategic planning or visioning.
It is usually accompanied by public consultation.
State statutes usually provide the legal framework necessary for those
communities choosing to participate while allowing others to disengage
themselves with the process.
The legal provision for comprehensive planning comes from what is called
the National Land Use Act of the Philippines.
PD 933 and EO 648 Series of 1981 and Housing and Land use and Regulatory
Board (HLURB) to review, evaluate, approve or disapprove land use plans of
cities and municipalities. Many cities did choose to adopt the act which provided
local governments with the framework to engage in land use planning.
5.6.2 Visioning
Visioning is becoming an increasingly accepted planning tool that is especially useful
when integrated into a comprehensive planning process as an "up-front" public
involvement activity.
The technique in preparing a local comprehensive plan seems to work rather well
to do visioning to arrive at a vision statement, then prepare the plan analysis,
analyze alternative land use scenarios according to the vision, then develop the
goals and objectives at the same time as arriving at the preferred land use
scenario (which becomes the "Future Land Use Map").
