Note: This Information Product is a first attempt to provide guidance in

preparing the information needed for the CLUP. As more knowledge isgathered, the IP will be updated. Likewise, updates may be required due tonew or changing land-use policies. Furthermore, data will continuously be

prepared by the custodians, which may require updates. For the latestupdate, please check HLURB Homepage: http://www.hlurb.gov.ph/ orcontact HLURB: telephone +632 927 2698.

Step 1: Provide a Background and Identify the Objectives of the GISAnalysis

Tourism enhances the municipalitys economic development. It is thereforeimportant for municipalities/cities with tourism potentials to properly plan andmanage these areas. They should be planned in terms of accessibility andprovision of facilities/amenities so that tourists can be attracted to go and enjoythese places of interest. It is also necessary that municipal planners consider

the carrying capacity of these tourism areas in order to ensure sustainability.The objective of this baseline is to display existing and planned touristamenities so that conflicts with other land uses can be determined and theappropriate interventions can be planned at the later stage of the planningprocess.

Step 2: Identify the indicators to Evaluate Objective Fulfillment

Indicators and planning standards can be found in Volume 2 of the CLUPGuidelines, such as:

There should be a minimum of 10-meter buffer zone, along the entireperimeter of each of the clusters or tourism zones, and around theproposed golf course sites;

A mandatory beachfront easement along all coastal areas shall bedefined at 30 meters from the edge of the beach zone inlandperpendicular to the coastline.

The Custodian of the sector data is the LGU.

Spatial

The objects below will be a point or polygon features and GPS will be used tomap the location.

The object will be tourism areas, in most cases a polygon

The object will be tourism accommodations, a point feature

Step 4: Analyze the Data

The location of proposed tourism areas will be overlaid with the Land Use todetermine if there are conflicting uses or compatible ones. For example,tourism areas should be located away from causes of disturbance andpollution like industrial areas).
