Development Framework Strategies

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Framework #1: Growth Centers and Green Wedges

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Framework #2: Development Clusters and Transport Corridors

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Framework #3: Polarized Core Developments

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

PREFERRED FRAMEWORK STRATEGY

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Multi-centered development corridors and green wedges

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Existing Provisions (Do Nothing Scenario) Medium Density Development

Medium Density Development

“Donut Development” in Boracay Island PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Existing Provisions (Do Nothing Scenario) • High density development along the beachfront of the island • No provision of open spaces within the beachfront • Middle portion of the island is not maximized for potential development • Continued encroachment of the 25-meter No Build Zone

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

“Polluter Must Pay” Principle
Internationally accepted basis for development regulation
Transport emissions
Air, water and land pollution
Noise and visual pollution
Increasingly becoming important due to increasing awareness on climate change issues

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Development Guidelines

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL

Definition: No Build Zone
The space 30 meters from the edge of the
