| Resource Title | Building urban resilience by integrating spatial planning, integrated water resource management (IWRM) and water-related disaster risk reduction (DRR) : an assessment of Marikina River Basin, Philippines from a spatial perspective |
| Date Issued | August 2012 |
| Abstract | The Philippines is one of the most natural hazard prone countries in the world, especially water-related disasters (floods and landslides) triggered by typhoon. This study is motivated by the extreme flooding incidence in Metro Manila and surrounding areas in September 2009, during the most devastating typhoon to hit the country named as Tropical Storm Ondoy. Highly urbanized cities of Metro Manila in the downstream of Marikina River Basin suffered the most and the degradation of the upper part of the basin in Rizal Province has been identified as one of the main causes of such massive flooding. Apart from flooding, water resources degradation problems such as surface water pollution and diminishing groundwater, are also prominent in this rapidly urbanizing river basin. The main objective of this research is to develop a framework of integration among Spatial Planning, Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), and water-related Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), as a long-term strategy to increase urban resilience. The research mainly offers four approaches in assessing the current state and future potential of integration, namely; 1) river basin as spatial framework, 2) “practical” (rather than comprehensive) integration of Spatial Planning, IWRM, and DRR, 3) Spatial planning as dominant perspective and platform for integration, 4) spatially explicit methods of assessment. Those approaches shaped spatial perspective in assessing the integration on organizational dimension, sectoral dimension, and territorial dimension. Besides policies and planning documents review, stakeholder analysis by using stakeholder mapping and perception analysis, in order to assess the integration, the research extensively employs spatial-in nature tools such as remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) including: Arc-hydro tool, from simple Spatial ANalysis to Spatial Multi-criteria Analysis and raster analysis.
