Book excerpt: Foreword + + + + + This is a legal reference book on Philippine laws that are used by Environmental Planners in their practice.The compilers included as much laws as they think are relevant to the Scope of Practice of EnPs, as per Sec. 5 of R.A. 10587 on "plan preparation".NPFPs, RPFPS, PFPPs - "National, Regional or Local development and/or physical framework and comprehensive land use plans."ZOs - "Zoning and related ordinances, codes and other legal issuances, for the development and management, preservation, conservation, rehabilitation, regulation, and control of the environment, including all land, water, air and natural resources."CLUPs/CDPs - Planning and development of a barangay, municipality, city, region, or any portion or combination thereof"; and, MDPs - "Development of a site for a particular need or special purpose, such as economic or ecological zones, tourism development zones, and housing and other estate development projects, including the creation of any other spatial arrangements of buildings, utilities, transport and communications."In Part One of this book, the "Master Summary Matrix, the laws used frequently by EnPs are grouped together into "sectors" or "planning subjects" - such as, "Land Use", "Housing", "Transport", etc.The bulk of the EnP Scope of Practice consists of the formulation of CLUP/ZO/ CDP of cities and municipalities. The HLURB (CLUP/ZO) and the DILG (CDP) guidelines are cited in this reference.The second more important practice of EnPs concerns those defined by environmental laws - under the watch of the DENR, e.g., Philippine Environmental Impact System, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act. Solid Waste Management Act, etc.A third preoccupation of EnPs is the planning of "sectoral programs and projects". Each sector is covered by a law, e.g., a tourism development project must follow the Tourism Act, an Agrarian Reform Community Development Plan - the CARP/DAR law(s), Indigenous Peoples' Development Plan - the IPRA Law.Agricultural projects are guided by the CARP, AFMA/SAFDZ, NPAAD guidelines, etc.; industrial estates/Freeport zones by the EPZA law, protected areas and forestlands by the NIPAS law, Urban Billboards and Signages by the National Building Code, etc..

Download or read book Integrated Environmental Management written by Yasumasa Itakura and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-04-29 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The change from a rural to an industrial economy affects many countries. Rapid growth and development causes significant changes in environmental management for countries beginning to confront serious degradation problems. In the Pacific Rim, rich in environmental and human resources, widespread pollution problems affect water and air quality, contaminating groundwater and soils and dramatically increasing human exposure to hazardous waste. Critical resources - such as rainforests - disappear at an alarming rate. The book features in-depth reviews of the Pacific Rim's increasing environmental problems. It examines every major issue including hazardous waste, solid waste, water and wastewater, air pollution, biodiversity, industrial waste and much more. The final chapters outline education and information-sharing strategies designed to change environmental policy, putting the focus on slowing growth and working towards sustainable development. Integrated Environmental Management provides an information-packed review of the regions' environmental problems, concentrating on problem solving, sustainable development, and education. Anyone faced with environmental problems related to population growth and rapid industrialization will find this book particularly enlightening.

It includes examples that demonstrate how NEPA can be efficiently integrated with other processes such as ISO 14001, P2, and Adaptive Management.

Download or read book Rio written by Caroline Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interdisciplinary collection of essays investigates whether UNCED and its output were appropriate for averting global environmental and developmental catastrophe. The intellectual debate inside and outside UNCED has been dominated by powerful entrenched interests which marginalise rival interpretations of the crisis and block possible alternative ways forward. The crisis is therefore being tackled by a continuation of the very policies that largely caused it in the first place.

Download or read book Collaborative Planning written by Patsy Healey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-06 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews of 1st edition: - "...A major, carefully argued contribution, which should raise the discourse among planning theorists to a new level - a level reserved for a book that succeeds in the ambitious task of weaving together, into one fabric, theories of planning and theories in planning". - Rachelle Alterman and Tamy Stav, Town Planning Review. - "...[A] visionary and important work..." - A.McArthur, Planning and Design. - "A brilliant exposition of the development of theoretical concepts of planning in the second half of the 20th century." - A. Gilg, Perspectives in Rural Policy and Planning . Spatial and environmental planning is an essential feature of all but the very simplest of societies. Its form and role and the principles on which it should be based, however, have become increasingly controversial questions. In this important book Patsy Healey draws on a wide range of new thinking in social, political and spatial theory to provide a framework for planning which is rooted in the institutional realities of our increasingly fragmented societies but designed to foster communication and collaborative action. The second edition includes a major new chapter assessing recent developments in theory and practice.
