Miraculous Hills Subdivision: Creating a Comprehensive Management Plan for a Community Housing Development

University of the Philippines Diliman

The Miraculous Hills Subdivision’s current site development plan has been approved by the local government units, but based on the Environmental Risk Assessment Report in 2010, some parts of the development are too steep and should be further planned carefully to maximize the site’s assets and avoid problems in the future.

The project aims to develop a comprehensive management plan focusing on four major planning development areas: ecotourism planning, livelihood planning, disaster risk management planning, and solid waste management planning. The ecotourism planning showcases the local extraordinary culture, distinctive architecture, and solitary experience, by creating sustainable designs inspired by the community identity, by integrating recyclable and locally available materials through construction, and by creating a tourism destination that blends with nature. The livelihood planning presents short-, medium-, and long-term strategies to help the local residents achieve economic stability by maximizing the site’s assets and opening opportunities for future development. The disaster risk management planning involves mapping of the current site characteristics and developing plans for vegetation for soil stability, stormwater collection and management, evacuation planning, and community participation. Finally, the solid waste management planning involves developing a specific site location for waste collection, recycling, and composting, and incorporating social programs that encourages community involvement to create a healthy, sustainable, and net-zero environment.
