4.07.01 Infrastructure: Transport

Note: This is a first attempt to provide guidance in preparing the information

product needed for the CLUP and is intended to be used hand-in-hand with
Volumes 1 and 2. As more knowledge is gathered, the IP will be updated.
Likewise, updates may be required due to new or changing land-use
policies. Furthermore, data will continuously be prepared by the custodians,
which may require updates.
For the latest update, please check HLURB Homepage:
http://www.hlurb.gov.ph/ or contact HLURB, telephone +632 927 2698.

Step 1: Provide a Background and Identify the Objective of the GIS

Analysis

The objective is to identify current issues and constraints so that the existing
road network and linkages can be improved and expanded.

Step 2: Identify the Indicators to Evaluate Objective Fulfillment

Define Planning Standards for accessibility, service provision/consumer

ratio, consumer/housed service, physical condition of buildings and plot, etc.
From Volume 2, the following GIS indicators are applicable:

For national roads in rural areas, the minimum width of road right-of-
way shall be 60 meters, however if the areas are populated the right-
of-way shall be less than 30 meters. Lane varies for each type of
surfacing

For provincial roads, the minimum right-of-way is 10 meters, which

may be widened to 20 meters
All municipal/city roads shall have a right-of-way of 10 meters and the
width traveled way is 4.0 meters
Barangay roads shall have a minimum right-of-way of 10 meters and
the width traveled way is 4.0 meters.

Step 3: Create the Database

The following attribute tables may be used for this sector. Those in bold are
used for the examples:

IS01 Road Network by Type, Pavement and Condition

IS02 Bridges by Type, Capacity and Condition
IS03 Ancillary Road Facilities
IS04 Passenger Terminals
IS05 Cargo Terminals
IS06 Railway
IS07 Railway Facilities and Services
IS08 Road Accidents over the Past Five Years
IS09 Public Land Transportation Vehicles by Type and Service Routes

The Custodians of sector data are DPWH, LTFRB, PNR and LGU. (What
about road accidents, who keeps the records: the Police?)

Step 4: Analyze the Data

IS01 is used to define the road segments that are in a critical or poor
condition or have an inadequate width compared to road classification
standards shown in Step 2 above. The road has been digitized in segments
where the nodes are defined at barangay crossings (so that the analysis can
be used for comparisons between the barangays) and intersections with
other roads (so network analyses can be made).

Step 5: Present the Data

The example below shows an analysis made based on IS01 to identify the
bottlenecks of a road leading from the transport corridor at the municipal
boundary where a major new settlement is located at the poblacion near the
lake:

Similar analysis can be made for the bridges in IS02. However, point
features showing the location of the bridges will be used instead of polylines
used to show the road network.

A tutorial how to digitize and display data from IS01 is found in Chapter 7.06
