Lesson 3-Land Use pt.2

LAND USE CONVERSION

Changing the function of a land parcel to a different purpose.

REVERSIBLE LAND USE

Land that retains its original characteristics and can be restored to its prior use.

IRREVERSIBLE LAND USE

Land that has undergone modifications preventing restoration to its original state.

MULTIPLE LAND USE

Utilizing land for different purposes simultaneously due to high demand and finite availability.

URBAN USES

Planned development – Mixed-use areas integrating housing, commercial, and recreational spaces.

Planned development

Mixed-use areas integrating housing, commercial, and recreational spaces.

NON-URBAN USES

Agriculture – Farming and food production.

Forestry – Sustainable management of forests.

Wildlife & Conservation – Habitat preservation.

Outdoor Recreation – Parks and tourism.

Grazing Lands – Animal husbandry.

Water Conservation – Reservoirs and watersheds.

APPLICATION OF COMBINED USES

1. As a land management policy

   -Multiple-use planning

   -Sustainable development principles

2. Sustained yield – Ensuring that land resources are not depleted.

C o m bin e d L a n d U s e

This means using land for different purposes at the same time (e.g., residential + commercial).

KEY FACTORS FOR COMBINED LAND USES

1. COMPATIBILITY

2. SUSTAINABILITY

3. ACCESSIBILITY

4. EFFICIENCY

5. CONFLICT MINIMIZATION

6. ECONOMIC VIABILITY

7. RESILIENCE

COMPATIBILITY

How well different land uses can exist together without causing problems.

COMPATIBILITY Reasons or Key Points:

1. HARMONIOUS COMBINATION

2. LAND HAS MULTIPLE POTENTIAL USES

3. LAND IS LIMITED

4. COMPETITION

SUSTAINABILITY

To protect resources (like land, water, air) so that future generations can also use them. It ensures that development doesn’t destroy the environment.

ACCESSIBILITY

To make sure people can easily reach homes, shops, parks, and services. Good access encourages community use and growth.

EFFICIENCY OF LAND USE

To maximize limited land. Since land is finite, we must make the best use of every square meter. This avoids wasting space.

MINIMIZING CONFLICTS

To prevent problems like noise, pollution, overcrowding, or safety risks by separating or properly combining different activities.

ECONOMIC VIABILITY

To make sure the area creates jobs, attracts businesses, and supports the local economy. Without economic activity, communities struggle.

RESILIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY

To prepare for future changes, such as disasters, climate change, or population growth. Flexible areas can adjust without big problems.

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

This is a legal document created by a city or municipality that guides how land should be used, developed, and protected over time.

Organizes Growth

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

It provides a clear guide for how cities or towns should grow.

Protects the Environment

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

It helps preserve forests, agricultural lands, water resources, and reduces pollution.

Prepares for the Future

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

It anticipates the needs of the growing population like housing, jobs, and transportation.

Minimizes Land Conflicts

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

It prevents disputes by clearly showing what land can be used

Guides Public Investments

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

It helps the government decide where to build roads, schools, hospitals, and other services.

Boosts the Local Economy

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

By planning properly, businesses invest more confidently and people have better job opportunities.

Improves Quality of Life

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLANNING (CLUP)

It ensures that communities are safe, convenient, healthy, and pleasant to live in.

Mapping

This is the visual representation of areas showing how land is used, where natural features are, and where structures are located.

MAPS

Makes it easier to understand land use, problems, and opportunities

MAPS

Helps people make better decisions about development

MAPS

essential in preparing a CLUP

ELEMENTS OF A MAP

1. Map Title- Name of what the map shows

2. Legend- Explains the symbols and colors used (e.g., green = parks, yellow = residential)

3. North Arrow- Shows which way is north for orientation

4. Geographic Coordinates- Latitude and longitude for location accuracy

5. Scale- Shows distance (e.g., 1 cm = 100 meters)

BASE MAP

The basic map showing streets, rivers, barangay boundaries, mountains, and other natural or manmade features. It’s like the "background" map

EXISTING LAND USE MAP

Shows how the land is currently used like where the houses, farms, forests, and commercial areas are today.

PROPOSED LAND USE MAP

Shows future plans where residential areas, parks, schools, industrial zones, etc., should be located.

TOPOGRAPHIC MAP

Shows the elevation and shape of the land mountains, hills, valleys. Important for flood planning, building safety, etc.

HAZARD MAP

Shows areas at risk from natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, landslides, or typhoons

ZONING MAP

Divides the land into zones like residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural. It shows what kind of buildings are allowed in each area.

Land Use Map

➔ Shows how land is being used right now — like where the houses, farms, forests, and factories already are.

➔ It describes the current situation.

Zoning Map

➔ Shows how the land is planned to be used based on city rules.

➔ It tells what should be built in each area — for example, only houses here, only factories there, et

INFRASTRUCTURE MAP

Shows roads, bridges, airports, seaports, water supply lines, sewage systems, and other major facilities.

TRANSPORTATION MAP

Focuses on roads, highways, public transport routes, terminals, and bike lanes.

MULTICENTERED GROWTH MAP

A map showing many areas (not just one) where cities or towns will grow.

Growth is spread out in different places, not just in one center.

GROWTH CENTER MAP

A map showing the main area where most business, jobs, and housing will grow.

It focuses on one big center for development.

LAND SUITABILITY MAP

A map showing which areas are good or bad for farming, housing, factories, etc.

It checks the best use for each land area.

LAND AVAILABILITY MAP

A map showing what land is still open or free to use.

It tells planners where new projects can be built.
