under the leadership of its Director, Prof.

With the main theme "Rationalizing Local
Planning System in the
Philippines",
the SCURP 2008 aims to introduce a model for
local environmental planning and development
that will integrate planning in the overall
governance function. Through this special
course, UP-SURP hopes to contribute to the
national effort to localize the principles
of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
RESEARCH AND PUBLICATIONS
The
UP SURP Research and Publications Unit kicked off its project
entitled:
LGU Networking for
Sustainable Land Use Planning and Development: A Pilot Study for
Selected Cities and Municipalities of Bulacan
through an initial
meeting with Bulcan Provincial and Planning Coordinator Arlene G.
Pascual on December 2, 2008.
Sponsored by the
then Senator Ramon B. Magsaysay Jr.,
thru the Department of Science and Technology, the project
runs from
November 2008 to July 2009.
It aims to develop a virtual
information network on urban, regional, rural and
environmental planning concerns which will serve as a feedback
mechanism among the academe, local
government units (LGU), national government agencies (NGA), various
non-government organizations (NGO), and peoples’ organizations (PO).
The feedback mechanism will then serve as an avenue whereby planning models
and procedures can be formulated to better address actual occurrences
in a planning area.
The
Research and Publications Unit formalized
the guidelines for the
UP SURP Working Paper Series. The
working papers aim to provide the public
with a venue to disseminate spatial-related
studies to a wider audience and to generate
academic and public discussions on various
planning topics in the Philippine setting.
