| Date Issued | 2014 |
| Abstract | Most of today's existing landscape is already fragmented and urbanized. Planners are developing approaches and concepts to further impede the fragmentation and urbanization our environment faces to achieve sustainable landscape planning. Ecological infrastructure planning represents a strategic approach to natural and physical resource conservation that combines the effort of previous conservation planning methodologies and practices into a systematic framework that encompasses larger and broader planning goals, particularly in river corridors. This research emphasizes the ecological infrastructure planning approach as a viable approach to sustain air, land, and water resources to contribute to health and quality of life in river corridors such as Angat River basin. The ecological infrastructure planning approach involves decision-making and actions on interconnecting networks of waterways, wetlands, woodlands, wildlife habitats, and other natural areas; green ways, parks, and other conservation lands; working farms, ranches, and forests, and wilderness and other open spaces to support native species, maintain natural ecological processes. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis and description and evaluation of ecological infrastructure using biotope mapping of the Angat river corridor. It also applies landscape management through an ecological infrastructure approach in the planning process. Thus, will lead to the creation of an ecological management map and strategies as a guide in the sustainable development of urbanizing Angat river corridor. Strategies recommended should be adopted to ensure the sustainable development of the Angat River basin corridor resources. Following the strategies for each biotope and the government's program on watershed management that involves DENR, NIA, and NPC plus the LGUs will ensure the protection of the forest and the river basin from unsustainable practices in the river basin. It is also recommended that Lan |
