Objectives ()f the Study Physical and Socio-Economic Profiling The ultimate objective of the study is the preparation of a Comprehensive Development Profiling provided a situationer from which and Land Use Plan that would guide the short, this planning project started. It involved a medium, and long-term physical and socio description of the current conditions. This economic development of the municipality. includes, among others, an assessment of the development needs of the area; status and the The study inclUdes the inventory of human types, quality and amount of resources that it and natural resources of the municipality, must mobilize (in order to improve its existing sectoral profiling, situational analysis, condition). In essence, it provides the relevant delineation of planning and functional areas, baseline information for the formUlation of the proposal of a development strategy and development and sectoral plans of Tayabas. 1 PHILIPPINE PLANNING JOURNAL VoIsXXVI (2) &XXVIf (1).

The significantly elevated to the translation of the proposed development areas are concentrated along the northeastern framework in spatial terms.

With the Tayabas climatic conditions are typical of assistance of the local officials and members of the community, a scenario or spatial montaine regions which are characterized by heavy precipitation. The Philippine scheme was then selected based on certain Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical sets of criteria identified beforehand.

The municipality of Tayabas sits on a subduction zone that is closely associated with Plan Implementation the east Luzon trench and, therefore, a seismically active region.
