Planning Scenario Process
Scenarios 1 and 2 1. Analyze the LGU situation
a. Integrate the CDRA results into the EP by embedding the CDRA
results in each of the sectors and inserting the CDRA data as part
of the EP.
Scenario 3 2. Analyze the LGU Situation
a. Sectoral studies (Volume 3) of the enhanced CLUP can be an
alternative to the risk-informed EP.
Scenario 4 Check whether risk and vulnerability information and analysis are
included in the EP or CDP. If not, follow steps for Scenarios 1 and 2.

EP Formulation in the CDP Process
 What is an Ecological Profile?

Basic reference about all possible aspects of

the locality.

Picture of the Current Realities of the Locality

(A Picture, A Snapshot, A Selfie)

Merger of the socio-economic and

biophysical profiles of the study area
and treat these subjects on equal
footing

Highlights the balance between

socio-economic and physical development,
and ecological and environmental
Importance of EP in Planning

Primary function is to provide an overall picture of the current

1
“reality” of the locality

Serves as an inventory of key baseline data and information

2
of the locality

Determines current capacities (i.e. assets, resources,

3
institutional structures, etc.)

Facilitates an evidence-based approach in identifying

CBMS Act

 EP as Main Entry Point for Risk-Informed CDP

The EP serves as the main entry point for

DRR-CCA mainstreaming.

Determines the situation of the LGU as

reflected by the five development sectors.

Making the EP risk-informed will provide a more

comprehensive scenario for the LGU especially as to
how risk and vulnerability affect the planning area.
Some of the tools used include CDRA, Impact Chain,
etc.
 Climate and Disaster Risk Assessment
● Assessing Current Situation
○ Identify elements (systems of interest) vulnerable to impacts of climate
change, and at-risk to various hazards as part of existing capacities (supply
side)
○ Consider vulnerable and high-risk elements identified in the CDRA results
as part of the demand side in the demand analyses
○ Integrate proposed interventions for each decision area in the demand
analyses (i.e. When proposed intervention is relocation, additional new
housing constructions must be considered as part of the housing backlog)

● Projecting Future Requirements

○ Calculate future demand requirements based on the CDRA-adjusted
baseline data and information
○ Integrate CDRA benchmarks and targets in projecting future
requirements

 Suggested process in Formulating LGUs EP

1. Prepare a CDP data checklist (includes all the minimum data requirements for CDP).
2. Set a meeting with the Planning Team to validate the availability of the needed data.
3. Discuss with the Planning Team the possible data sources for each sector.
4. After the meeting, each department shall collect/generate and process all the assigned
data for their department.
5. The Municipal/City Planning and Development Office shall consolidate all the collected
data.
6. If necessary, conduct a consultation meeting with stakeholders to verify the collected
data.
7. Analyze the data using the prescribed tools.
8. Determine the current and future requirements for each sector.

 Rationalized Planning Indicator Data Set
(RaPIDS)

❑ RaPIDs is ONLY a set of indicators and datasets. LDIs is a

system of helping planners analyze planning indicators

❑ RaPIDs will still follow the general template of the LDIS.

The only difference is that the list of indicators has been
grouped based on area characteristics and priority
concerns
 Rationalized Planning Indicator Data Set
(RaPIDS)

❑ It also added several indicators required by recent

statutes such as DRR/CCA indicators and indicators
used to articulate certain thematic and sectoral
concerns such as gender and conflict sensitivity.
❑ Indicators for specific ecosystems are also identified
(Lowland, Upland, Coastal, etc.)
❑ RaPIDS aims to address the issue on data gathering
by helping planners identify indicators that apply to them
and those that they really needed as compared to
prescribing a one size fits all data set which makes data
gathering very challenging at the onset.

□ Analysis can be extended further into determining appropriate

policy interventions
□ If negative implications predominate, then the
observed condition can be regarded as a problem. Formulate
either mitigate
policies that the inconvenience or solve the problem
permanently
□ If positive implications predominate, then the observed
condition may be regarded as a potential.

4. Exploring Implications – Asking question “so what”
