On the cover of the RPFP 2001-2030 The cover presents the four land uses as explained by Ernesto M. Serote in his book, Property, Patrimony and Life Support System Territory. (2004) “Accordingly, any territorial unit, regardless of level or scale, can be seen as consisting of four areas used Space for living under any of the following purposes: 1) as a space for living, 2) as a space for making a living, 3) as a space for the facilities that support the other two spaces, and 4) as an open space that serves as the life support Infra- system for the human population. The space for living is that area utilized by man in performing the activities structure needed for the reproduction and well-being of his species. The space for making a living is used for carrying out his livelihood. The space for facilities provides conditions conducive to the effective use of Space for the two other spaces. The life support system is the making a living source of fresh food, fresh air, fresh water and is the receiver of the wastes generated in the course of utilizing the three other spaces. These four spaces were later translated into settlement, production, infrastructure, and protection areas, respectively.” Foreword This Regional Physical Framework Plan (2001 – 2030) is a regional document that seeks to provide a set of policies in achieving decisions on how land and other natural resources may be developed, managed and conserved for the benefit of the present and future generations of the region’s population. The preparation of this document by the Technical Working Group of the Regional Land Use Committee (RLUC) started in January 2003 with the assessment of the first ten years of implementation of the previous RPFP (1991- 2025). The two-year planning process covered four levels of study and consultations: first, with the Technical Working Group, then in the RDC Committees, the Provincial Consultations through the Provincial Development Councils, and the conduct of interregional consultations. In all these levels, steps were taken to ensure that the plan reflects consensus through the participation of the core government agencies, local government units, private sector representatives and members and/or representatives of the Congressmen in the region. The RPFP is an excellent reference for sectoral and agency planning purposes and for determining the most appropriate policy options and corresponding strategies for local plans. It is indeed timely and fortunate that its completion and subsequent approval by the RDC comes at a time when the provinces are preparing to update their Provincial Physical Framework Plans (PPFPs), and the cities and municipalities are also updating their CLUPs. It is stressed that this is just a framework plan and the true implementation is in the hands of the local executives and planners. I wish to thank all those who have contributed to the formulation of this document. Given the enthusiasm and commitment of all sectors in the region, I am confident that this RPFP will help influence the development of our region as we envision. MILAGROS A.
