Executive Summary: Begin your report with a concise summary of the CLUP, highlighting its purpose, objectives, and

key recommendations.
Introduction:
Land is viewed as common natural resources, much like air and water found therein, in the absence of land
use planning and continues population grow, use of land for food production, settlements and industry, as well as the
need for environment preservation and protection often result in conflicting issues and because every individual
added to the population requires additional space for living, space for making a living, and space for infrastructure
support, the demand-supply balancing approach is essential in determining whether there is adequate supply of land
to meet the projected demand for urban development.
While the State declares its land use policies and principles in terms of relation to national economy and
patrimony as well as its police power for the promotion of public health, public safety, public interest, public order
and general welfare. This Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Indang is a support undertaking as mandated under
Section 20(c) Local Government Code (RA 7160).
Purpose:
This (Ten) 10-year Comprehensive Land Use Plan serves as a blueprint for utilizing available land resources to
different land using activities, and for the implementation of social and economic development, policies, plans,
programs and projects consistent with the vision and mission of Indang.
Objectives:
 To promote life-sustaining development to ensure the future quality of living environment;
 To direct, harmonize and influence discussion and activities of private and public sectors relative to the use
and management of land;
 To reconcile land use conflicts and proposals between and among individuals, private and government
entities relative to the present and future need for land;
 To promote desirable patterns of land uses to prevent wasteful development and minimize the cost of public
infrastructure and utilities and other social services; and
 Conserve areas of ecological, aesthetic, historical and cultural significance.

Background Information: Provide background information about the area, such as its location, size, population,
historical context, and any relevant demographic or economic data. This information will help set the context for the
CLUP.
Brief History:
Indang derived its name from the words, inrang or “yndan”, a tree, which was also called anubing. The tree
of inrang was used to be abundant in the local since the early times. Before 1655, Indang was under the leadership of
Silang until the people decided to pose a petition to the senior authorities for the separation of Indang from Silang.
After 70 years of being a subordinate barrio of Silang, Indang gained its autonomy as a municipality with the
leadership of Juan Dimabiling as the first Gobernadorcillo.
The town of Indang takes a significant part in the Philippine Revolution when Andres Bonifacio was arrested
at Barrio Limbon after being defeated in the Tejeros Convention. It was also in Indang where Andres Bonifacio was
barred from setting up a separate government and army. Some of the outstanding revolutionary figures who are also
considered as the distinguished sons of Indang were Severino delas Alas (member of Aguinaldo during his retreat to
Northern Luzon), General Ambrosio Mojica (politico military governor of the First Philippine Republic in Samar and
Leyte), Hugo Ilagan and Jose Coronel (delegates of Cavite to the revolutionary congress in Tarlac). Indang’s
revolutionary name during the Spanish Era was Walang Tinag which means immovable.
The exact month and day of the municipality establishment has no verification. However, existing documents
proved that Indang was instituted during the ‘cold month’ of 1655. Therefore, the municipal government decided
and declared December 1st as “Indang Day” which was annually celebrated by its people.
Geographic Location and Features:
Indang is an upland municipality in Cavite composed of 36 barangays with a total area of 8,920 hectares. It is
centrally located in the upland of Cavite with a bearing of 120°52’ longitude and 14°11’ latitude. It is bounded on the
north by the municipality of Naic and Trece Martirez City, on the south by municipality of Mendez and Tagaytay City,
on the west by municipalities of Alfonso and Maragondon, and on the east by the municipalities of Amadeo and
Trece Martirez City.
 The municipality is highly accessible from major points within the province and to major market areas like
Naic and Alfonso while it is only 13.5 kilometers from the seat of provincial government at the city of Trece Martirez,
Indang is about 12.8 kilometers from Tagaytay City.
The topography is characterized by gently sloping or rolling terrain. Almost 40.36% of its total land area is
within the slope grade of 3-8% while 2,135 hectares is within the slope range of 8-15% which is characterized by
undulating/sloping terrain. The land elevation ranges from 230 to 380 meters above sea level. The land area is
furthermore fairy well dissected by numerous creeks and streams that are deeply cut, characterized by steep and
abrupt banks. Rivers, creeks and springs supply the water needed for both agricultural and household purposes.
These rivers and creeks also serve as natural drainage into which storm water is discharged and flow in northern
direction to discharge into either Manila Bay or Laguna de Bay.
Based on Hazard Mapping and Assessment for Effective Community-Based Disaster Risk Management
conducted by PHILVOLCS-DOST, Indang is susceptible on the Strong Ground Shaking when the earthquake intensity
scale reached PEIS Intensity VIII and above, but not susceptible on Earthquake-Induced landslide. However, there are
a possible landslide deposits along major rivers. Generally, the municipality has low susceptibility on Rain-Induced
landslide.
Functional Role of the Municipality:
Like other municipalities in Cavite, Indang plays a functional role in the context of provincial development. It
is one of the major sources of permanent crops like coconut, banana, santol, mango, guyabano, and jack fruit. It also
helps in the production of high value crops, such as papaya, pineapple, cassava, dragon fruit, ube, gabi, ginger and
other processed products from Kaong trees. Likewise, increasing agri-business farms raise large volumes of livestock
and poultry due to favorable climatic condition. These are hog farms, broiler farms, layer and breeder farms.
Strategic location of Indang which is centrally located in the upland Cavite could make a potential tourist
destination due to its natural attractions like rivers and landscape if given support developments. Likewise, with the
good types of soil and favorable climatic condition can boost the municipality agricultural development.
With the existence of six (6) major river and 88 natural springs, these large of volume of water would be a
possible source of potable water in the province of Cavite due to its water Class “A” classification if given legislative
support and policies.
Population Size and Growth Rate:
Population in Indang increases due to births that occur and the influx of migrants from other municipalities in
search of employment and for a better quality of life. Based on 2010 NSO Census of Population, Indang has a total
population of 62,030 with a growth rate of 1.92 %. This represents a 2.01% of the total population of Cavite which is
3,090,691 in the same census year. In 1995 census, it has grown by 1.74%, an increase of 3,583 residents over a
period of 5 years (1990-95). From 1995 to 2000, a period of another five years, it grew doubled with a high growth
rate of 3.70% and slowed down for the period 2000-2010 with a growth rate of 1.92% compared to the province
growth rate with the gradual decreased from 1990-2010.

8,920 hectares. With its strategic location coupled with favorable slopes and elevation, good quality of soil and
climatic condition, the municipality is a focal point of agricultural activities. The 80.60% or 7,189.42 hectares are
primarily devoted to agriculture. They are predominantly planted with various types of crops like coconut, banana,
dragon fruit, coffee, pineapple, and fruit trees while there are small portions of rice, root crops, vegetables, and corn.
Most farms are small and many are only operated part-time. Farmers are engaged in multi-cropping farming system.

Park while other are employed overseas. Only about 11.86 % of total household have their own businesses and has
over-all employment participation rate of about 0.915.
On the trade and industry, existing commercial and agri-business establishments play a relatively major role
in the predominantly agri-based economy of Indang. Record on this establishment shows the wholesale and retail
trade stores are clustered within the Poblacion or urban area while in the rural, the trading establishments are
dominated by sari-sari stores. Agri-business farms raise large volumes of livestock and poultry, there are existing hog
farms, broiler farms, layer and breeder farms. Indang Public Market and Slaughterhouse stand on 20,316 square
meter government-owned property along Dimabiling St., Barangay IV (Poblacion). This public market has three (3)

2010 the major land use is agricultural which occupies 7,189.42 hectares. This constitutes about 80.60 percent of its
total land area. Agricultural areas consist of croplands and agri-business farms like livestock rising such as piggery and
poultry.
Increase in population and economic developments, however, propelled the municipality’s growth and
transformed the lands into built-up uses. The built-up areas consist of residential, commercial, institutional,
industrial, functional open spaces, infrastructure and utilities land uses. These uses occupy a total area of 705.33
hectares or 7.91% of the total land area as shown in Table I4.

Zoning and Development Regulations: Discuss the proposed zoning regulations and development guidelines
outlined in the CLUP. Explain how these regulations aim to manage and control the use of land, building heights,
setbacks, density, and design standards to achieve the desired vision for the area.
Development Context:
A major consideration in the updating of this land use plan is the functional role that the municipality plays in
the context of the provincial and regional development. Like other upland municipalities in Cavite, Indang is a major
source of permanent crops like coffee, coconut mango, and santol. It helps in the production of fruit crops, such as
papaya, pineapple, banana, and dragon fruits. It is also one of the sources of root crops in the province.
The proximity of Indang toward City of Tagaytay which is 12.80 km. and 13.5 km. from adjacent Trece
Martires City (a seat of Provincial Government) could make the municipality a potential tourist destination due to its
natural attractions like rivers and landscape if given support developments. Likewise, with the good quality of soil and
favorable climatic condition can boost the municipality agricultural development in terms of modern technology
resources and develop as center of agri-tourism and promoted as an Agricultural Trading Center of upland Cavite.
Existence of six (6) major river and 88 natural springs which are viable for water administration and
investment proposals for water/energy sector development. It has a water Class “A” classification and could be a
possible source of potable water in the province of Cavite.
Since typhoons are the common natural phenomena experienced by this municipality, the disturbance to the
ecosystem were negligible, considering the hazard mapping assessment conducted by PHILVOLCS-DOST in which
Indang is merely susceptible on the strong Ground Shaking only when the earthquake intensity scale reached PEIS
Intensity VIII and above, but not susceptible on Earthquake-Induced landslide. However, there are a possible
landslide deposits along major rivers. Generally, the municipality has low susceptibility on Rain-Induced landslide.
Development Opportunities:
The land use plan of the municipality is formulated through the consideration of the following development
prospective listed below:
 An agricultural Trading Center of upland Cavite;
 Agri-eco tourism development potential;
 A possible source of quality potable water;
 A center of education in upland Cavite due the presence of Cavite State University (CvSU) main campus;
 A potential place for regional sport events due to the existence of sport auxiliary facilities inside the CvSU
campus;
 A better place for the people lives and make a healthful living.
Development Constraints:
The issues identified in the analysis of the existing land use as well as the projected land requirements within
the planning period are as follows:
 Impacts of housing settlement along the roads with electrical utilities and with communication lines facilities.
The increase in population on housing settlement areas demands provision for additional spaces in the
future and the most logical space available is the agricultural land, which is about7,189.418 or 80.60% of the
total land area of the municipality.
 The issue is prioritization of needs between settlements development and food security. The concern is for
the plan to be able to balance response to these needs. Settlements development should be promoted
without jeopardizing the existing production levels of agricultural lands;
 Conservation and preservation of natural environment like soil and water resources of the municipality in
relation to economic development concern. Likewise, the promotion of environmental management and
sustainable development and at the same time providing livelihood opportunities for social development;
 Congestion and traffic jams along business areas of Poblacion 1, 2 & 3 during rush hour considering the
presence of students from different schools particularly Cavite State University main campus. Thus, need to
decongest the area by developing the area of Barangay Poblacion 4 along Dimabiling Street wherein the
Indang Public Market is located and part of Barangay 3 along national road going to Naic which have
 potential for growth and development. It is also the appropriate location area for the establishment of public
transport terminal since this is where the new Municipal Hall soon to be built;
 The issues are the presence of resorts utilizing riverbank as resorts or the presence of swimming structures
within the river bed that causes obstruction of river flow; and
 Existence of converted/reclassified residential areas of land for the past 6 years or more but still undeveloped
(no development started).

Infrastructure and Transportation: Evaluate the existing infrastructure and transportation systems in the area and
assess their capacity to support future development. Identify any deficiencies or areas that require improvement,
and propose strategies to enhance the infrastructure, such as road networks, public transportation, utilities, and
green infrastructure.
Social Services facilities/utilities/amenities:
The presence of social facilities/utilities/amenities in Indang would determine the improving accessibility of
social services that are essential in addressing the poverty of the residents. Relative to improving the state of well-
being of local population, the existing social services facilities/utilities/amenities are as follows;

Transportation Network:
Land transportation is the principal mode of transporting goods and services in Indang and its neighboring
municipalities. Vehicular routes going to other municipalities are Indang-Tagaytay, Indang-Alfonso, Indang-Naic, and
Indang-Trece Martirez City-Dasmarinas to Baclaran and vice versa. There are also several types of vehicles traversing
the place, but the most commonly used vehicles for public conveyances are jeepneys and a number of tricycles plying
within the poblacion area and nearby barangays.
At present, there are available 130 buses routing to Baclaran, 749 jeeps with routes to adjacent
municipalities and cities, and 1066 tricycles steering around Indang. These are supported by 19 transport groups and
provided by the support of six (6) gasoline stations and eight (8) auto supplies for their maintenance and needs.
Indang has 25.571 km. barangay roads, 4.982 km. municipal road, 28.642 km. provincial road, 29.859 km.
national road and 46.433 km. farm-to-market roads. The barangay roads primarily provide the delivery of goods,
services, and facilities which bring improvement on the living condition of the rural populace. On the other hand, the
85.36% of total farm-to-market roads are not passable by vehicles during rainy season. There are 21 bridges
connecting the 19barangays of this municipality classified as national, provincial, municipal and barangay bridges.
The inventory of roads and bridges are shown at tables below.
Environmental Considerations: Address the environmental aspects of the CLUP, including strategies for conservation,
preservation of natural resources, sustainable design principles, and mitigation of potential environmental impacts.
Environmental Management:
