PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
Social Acceptability
Social acceptance affects people of all sorts and includes children, teenagers,
and adults. It is the fact that most people, in order to fit in with the others, look and act
like them. It stops (mostly) everyone from truly being themselves. It's is also the reason
most people look painfully average.
Feelings of acceptance come from being acknowledged as someone who is
intrinsically worthwhile and/or having characteristics that are seen as worthwhile. This
could be as big as being in a role that allows someone to contribute to society, or it
could be as small (yet no less important) as being admired for ones way of being in the
world. Belonging is such a fundamental human need, and being accepted brings a
sense of belonging. The majority of people need and want to belong to all sorts of
groups and places such as families, friends, neighborhoods, workplaces, clubs, and
interest groups. Belonging and feelings of deep acceptance are like being home in a
relationship. There is a sense of comfort within the relationship, and a sense of being
safe and secure.
Way of Life
It denotes the interests, opinions, behaviors, and behavioral orientations of an
individual, group, or culture. The typical pattern of behavior of a person or group. A rural
environment has different lifestyles compared to an urban metropolis. Location is
important even within an urban scope. A particular neighborhood affects lifestyle due to
varying degrees of affluence and proximity to open spaces. For example, in areas within
a close proximity to the sea, a surf culture or lifestyle is often present. The concept of
Lifestyle Management has developed as a result of the growing focus on lifestyle.
Cultural Heritage
Culture is how people in a community live. It includes their ideas, language,
religion, and history. Culture is a strong part of people's lives. It influences their views,
their values, their humor, their hopes, their loyalties, and their worries and fears. It is the
legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are
inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and bestowed for the benefit
of future generations. All cultures are alike in some ways because all people have the
same needs. All people communicate. How they communicate depends on their culture.
People in different cultures use different languages. All people need shelter. The kind of
shelter they build depends on their culture.
It is becoming clear that in order to build communities that are successful at
improving conditions and resolving problems, we need to understand and appreciate
many cultures, establish relationships with people from cultures other than our own, and
build strong alliances with different cultural group.
difference. So, it is crucial to measure results. But what should be done, and what
results should be measured? There is no standard answer. The most important results
vary from one community to another, and different people within a community have
different perceptions about what the community should try to improve and how success
should be measured. So, it is vital to engage citizens in deciding what to do and to
engage them in deciding what results to measure or what performance goals or targets
to measure against. Then, when targeted results are achieved, they will be results that
matter to the people of the community.
Availability of Utilities
Services include education, public safety and emergency response, health care,
public water and sewer, trash and recycling, and government administration.
Coordination of these services is complicated by the fact that services are provided by a
range of public, quasi-public and private sector entities.
Growth Potential
It is the future ability to generate larger profits, expand its workforce and ramp up
its production. It is often a barometer for investment interest from public and private
investors, venture capitalists and other stakeholders. Community Planner should unlock
potential, accelerate growth and shape communities through economic development.
Resources
It is a stock or supply of money, materials, staff, and other assets that can be
drawn on by a person or organization in order to function effectively.
Many community organizations, not surprisingly, focus on the needs or deficits of
the community. Every community has needs and deficits that ought to be attended to.
But it is also possible to focus on assets and strengths -- emphasizing what the
community does have, not what it doesn't. Those assets and strengths can be used to
meet those same community needs; they can improve community life.
Economics
The goal of community sustainability is to establish local economies that are
economically viable, environmentally sound and socially responsible. Achieving this goal
requires participation from all sectors of the community, both to determine community
needs and to identify and implement innovative and appropriate solutions. This section
presents information from a variety of sources on approaches and techniques used
successfully in different communities to develop key aspects of their local economies on
a sustainable basis.

Mandates:
Under PD 757 dated 31 July 1975. NHA was tasked to develop and implement a
comprehensive and integrated housing program which shall embrace, among
others, housing development and resettlement, sources and schemes of
financing, and delineation of government and private sector participation.
Under EO 90 dated 17 December 1986. NHA was mandated as the sole national
government
agency to engage in shelter production focusing on the housing needs of the
lowest 30% of the urban population.
Under RA 7279 (UDHA) dated 24 March 1992. NHA was tasked to provide
technical and other
forms of assistance to local government units (LGUs) in the implementation of
their housing
programs; to undertake identification, acquisition and disposition of lands for
socialized housing; and to undertake relocation and resettlement of families with
local government units.
Under RA 7835 (CISFA) dated 08 December 1994. NHA was tasked with the
implementation of
the following components of the National Shelter Program - the Resettlement
Program, Medium
Rise Public and Private Housing, Cost Recoverable Programs and the Local
Housing Program.
IV. Usufruct
Usufruct gives a right to enjoy the property of another with the obligation of
preserving its form and substance, unless the title constituting it or the law otherwise
provides.
Usufruct is constituted by law, by the will of private persons expressed in acts inter
vivos or in a last will and testament, and by prescription.
Usufruct may be constituted on the whole or a part of the fruits of the thing, in favor
of one more persons, simultaneously or successively, and in every case from or to a
certain day, purely or conditionally. It may also be constituted on a right, provided it is
not strictly personal or in transmissible.
The rights and obligations of the usufructuary shall be those provided in the title
constituting the usufruct; in default of such title, or in case it is deficient, the provisions
contained in the two following Chapters shall be observed.
V. Reblocking
Reblocking is a more organized way of improving the infrastructure and physical
conditions in existing communities by making some adjustments to the layout of houses
and roads. Communities can then gradually develop their houses at their own plots.
Reblocking is often undertaken in cases where communities are succeeded to buy or
get a long term lease for the land theyve already occupied.
Re-blocking refers to the on-site repair, rehabilitation, or upgrading of a specific
place or area. Re-blocking is a term often used for road repairs which are essentially
done as to where the problem area is. However, re-blocking may also be defined as the

8 Millennium Goals of the United Nations &
United Nations Sustainable Development Agenda

The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) which range from halving
extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary
education, all by the target date of 2015 form a blueprint agreed to by all the worlds
countries and all the worlds leading development institutions. They have galvanized
unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the worlds poorest.
Goal 1
Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Extreme poverty
rates have fallen in every developing region. The target of halving
the percentage of people suffering from hunger is within reach.
South-eastern Asia is the first developing region to reach the
hunger reduction target ahead of 2015.The slowing of economic
growth spells continued job losses, with young people bearing the
brunt of the crisis.
Goal 2
Achieve universal primary education. Developing regions
have made impressive strides in expanding access to primary
education. Even after 4 years of primary schooling, as many as
250 million children cannot read and write, worldwide. Early school
leaving remains persistent. Among the 137 million children who
entered first grade in 2011, 34 million are likely to leave before
reaching the last grade of primary school. Literacy rates are rising.
Poverty, gender and place of residence are key factors keeping
children out of school. Progress in reducing the number of out-of-school children has
come to a standstill as international aid to basic education in 2011 fell for the first time
since 2002.
Goal 3
Promote gender equality and empower women. Gender
gaps in access to education have narrowed, but disparities remain
among regions in all levels of education, particularly for the most
excluded and marginalized. Women are gaining more power in the
worlds parliaments, boosted by quota systems. Women are
gaining ground in the labour market, but in every developing
region still tend to hold less secure jobs.
Goal 4
Reduce child mortality. Gains have been made in child
survival since 1990, making it possible to increase child survival
for future generations. Despite challenges, many countries with
very high child death rates in 1990 are beating the odds and
lowering under-five mortality rates, showing progress for all
children is achievable.
Goal 5
Improve maternal health. Maternal mortality has declined by
nearly half since 1990. Births attended by skilled health personnel
have increased; however, disparities in progress within countries
and populations groups persist. African countries show wide
disparities in maternal and reproductive health.
Goal 6
Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases The
incidence of HIV is declining in most regions. The MDG target of
halting and beginning to reverse the spread of HIV has been met.
Global malaria deaths fell by an estimated 26 per cent from 2000
to 2010.
Goal 7
Ensure environmental sustainability. More than 240,000 people a day1.9
billion people gained access to a latrine, toilet or other improved sanitation facilities
from 1990 to 2011. An estimated 863 million people reside in slums in the developing
world. Although more land and marine areas are under protection, many species of
birds, mammals and others are heading for extinction at a fast pace. Forests are
disappearing at a rapid pace, despite the establishment of forest policies and laws
supporting sustainable forest management in many countries. Marine fish stocks
globally are now below the level at which they can produce maximum sustainable
yields. The Montreal Protocol has led to a 98 per cent reduction in the consumption of
Goal 8

development. The trade climate continues

developing and least developed countries.
Debt service ratios
are one-quarter less from their 2000 level,

concentrated in a small number of
countries. Mobile-cellular subscriptions are moving towards saturation levels. The
growth in the number of individuals using the Internet in developing countries continues
to outpace that in developed countries, Prices for essential medicines in low and lower
middle-income countries were, on average, 3.3 times higher than international reference
prices in public sector facilities and 5.7 times higher in private sector facilities.
Goal 2 End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote
sustainable agriculture
Goal 3 Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
Goal 4 Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong
learning opportunities for all
Goal 5 Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable
Goal 13 Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts*
Goal 14 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources
for sustainable development
