The city has a population of 1.6 million as of 2015 and a large territorial land of 2,440km2 but the existing urban areas account for only 7% of its land. The concentration trend of the population and the city's economic activities on a dominant urban center causes the city to face serious urban problems brought about by rapid urbanization and disorderly development. Davao City formulated its Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) 2013-2022, however, it has not firmly guided urban development activities toward the given land use plan. Also, the city has yet to prepare a concrete long-term plan to develop its urban infrastructure based on this. It is in the above context that the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) requested the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to update Davao City’s CLUP and prepare its urban infrastructure development plan together with developing the capacity of the NEDA and Davao City in preparing, evaluating, implementing and managing the urban infrastructure development plan. This JICA assisted project is titled as the Davao City Infrastructure Development Plan and Capacity Building Project. The project is nicknamed ‘IM4Davao (Infrastructure Modernization for Davao)’.

The sector can contribute to efforts in poverty alleviation, food security, and sustainability. At the local level, the sector can also contribute to the 10-point Agenda of the current administration. In Davao City, the importance of the sector is underscored by the employment that it generates, contribution to the economy, and source of food that can help sustain the health of the population. The preparation of the Davao City Agriculture and Fishery Development Plan for 2018-2022 (DACFDP) is an effort to guide the development of the sector and ensure that it will contribute to the agenda of the government. The DCAFDP is an update of the 2000-2004 Agricultural Development Plan (ADEP) and was conducted to address recent changes in the economy, society, and the environment. Meanwhile, the key issues that are to be addressed are food security, poverty alleviation, health and nutrition, climate change, and sustainability.

This premier city in the south is designated as one of the priority areas for investment and location for the dispersal of commerce and industries. The rationale behind is to achieve a balanced development and promote regional equity in the country.On the Agricultural context, lands devoted to agriculture comprise the biggest portion of the total land area of the city. This is so because the city relies primarily on agriculture for food, feeds and raw materials for agricultural industries and other industries. While food security is a primary concern of the City, it also aims at protecting and conserving the environment to mitigate adverse effects on chemical inputs on people. The city has approved an ordinance on organic farming. Regulatory measures for the full implementation are in the working. The City Agriculturist’s Office (CAO) is doing its role as the prime mover in the implementation of this initiative.

Under Quezon City's Qualitative Climate Risk Assessment 2020, the three priority climate hazards identified include (1) cyclones and flooding, (2) drought, and (3) heat.For each of the climate trends for these three climate hazards, the Qualitative Climate Risk Assessment 2020 shows how these trends could affect different sectors in Quezon City. These sectors are based on the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) and are categorized into (1) natural impacts (ecological and environmental stability, water sufficiency), (2) social impacts (human security, knowledge and capacity development) and (3) economic impacts (sustainable energy, infrastructure and transport, food security, climate‐friendly industries and services).Furthermore, Quezon City's Qualitative Climate Risk Assessment 2020 has developed interactive maps that integrate overlay hazard maps with key vulnerable populations and urban systems. This evidence base will enable an analysis on the impacts of climate hazards on said vulnerable populations and urban systems. The integrated maps include the following:1. Urban heat island effect map overlaid with population density and informal settlement maps: The base map indicates urban heat islands based on land surface temperature for 2018, as measured by the Landsat program. The map then overlays relative population density in Quezon City based on 2015 census data, and informal settlements from QC - Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office based on 2013 data.2. Urban heat island effect map overlaid with elderly population map: When it comes to urban heat, elderly people are known to be more vulnerable than the general population. When people are exposed to high temperatures during the summer months, they can suffer from potentially deadly illnesses such as heat stroke. Elderly with pre-existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable as exposure to even short periods of heat can aggravate their health conditions. This map allows decision-makers to see the barangays that have a large absolute number of citizens aged 65 or older.3. Flood hazard map overlaid with maps of hospitals, evacuation centers and informal settlements: Extreme rainfall often causes floods when rivers and canals exceed their capacity. Poor communities are especially exposed to these floods, often situated in flood zones and with fragile houses. The map shows roads, hospitals, evacuation centers and informal settlements within the 100 year flood zones. These areas are particularly at risk for flooding. Roads include bridges that can be swept away and tunnels that are highly vulnerable.4. Rainfall-induced landslide vulnerability overlaid with map of informal settlements: Steep terrain, heavy rainfall, earthquake activity and vulnerable soils make the Philippines susceptible to landslides. In Quezon City, extreme rainfall events, combined with elevated terrain (for example in the northeastern part of the city), can produce landsliding with major societal and economic impacts. In 2012, a landslide triggered by heavy rains killed nine people in Quezon City.

These prescribed activities have been categorised under the new Order intothe First and Second Schedules.Slopes and hill areas of more than 25° are prone to topographical changes,landslides and slope failures. Land clearing activities and physical developmentresult in increased erosion and sedimentation risks, especially during heavy rains,which lead to siltation of waterways and affect downstream users. Cut and fill slopescan also fail if not properly protected, resulting in loss of lives and property. All thesefactors mean that any development on slope and hill areas must be properly plannedand provided with suitable mitigation measures to minimise the significant impacts.The Guidelines aim to improve the quality of the environment when developing onslopes and hill areas by: Defining environmental requirements for managing the development. Providing a range of tools and methods to avoid and/or to reduce andminimise the sources of environmental pollution to an acceptable level. Guiding the selection and application of these tools and methods to maintaina healthy environment during different phases of project implementation.The Guidelines shall provide guidance to the Project Proponents, Qualified Person(i.e. DOE-registered EIA Consultants), and other EIA-related practitioners in thepreparation and submission of EIA reports for activities related to development onslope and hill areas stated in the Order.The Guidelines shall only be used within the framework of the EQA 1974 includingits future updates, and its subsidiary regulations.

This project is jointly conducted by Tohoku University in Japan, University Teknologi Malaysia, and the Selangor State Government with the support of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).One of the objectives of this project is to provide a science-based understanding of disaster risks among the community leaders, member and local authorities. Science-based risk analysis is the use of science in risk analysis. This is based on the concept of introducing science and technology in disaster risk reduction, which is highlighted in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, in its first Priority of Action “Understanding Disaster Risk”, where it emphasizes the role of science and technology in explaining disaster risk to various audiences.The use of science and technology to show ‘how and why disasters occur’ can be useful in risk communication to policy makers and city planners in the development and dissemination of science-based risk knowledge, technology and innovation. The Disaster Risk Report explains the risks of landslides and floods faced by communities in the state of Selangor, Malaysia, in a way that can be easily understood by technical and non-technical readers alike. It serves as a communication tool for local and district authorities as well as government agencies at the district and state level to understand the hazards and risks of the project areas.Each of the case studies showcase how science can help in identifying disaster risks. By taking a scientific approach in showing risks to community stakeholders, risk managers are better able to persuade residents to learn, design, implement and take ownership of proactive measures in safeguarding their homes, properties and lives on a long-term, sustainable basis.

Due to the natural nature of the area with weak earthen foundation, Hau River, and busy canals systems, the water level rises highly, during the flood season, with strong currents causing erosion and affecting the lives and production of the local people. According to historical profiles and mapping, the most vulnerable areas of Binh Thuy are wards located along Hau River, including Tra Noc, Tra An, Binh Thuy và Bui Huu Nghia wards; in which, Bui Huu Nghia ward is considered the most affected area by hazards: river erosion and floods together with high tide. These areas are located on islets with low and weak foundations; therefore, they are constantly eroded as well as affected badly by floods and high tide. Based on the information of hazards, hazards damages, and most vulnerable areas, the most vulnerable groups by hazards and climate change in Binh Thuy are those who are engaged in agriculture on islets and low land along the river, poor and single people who live in temporary houses in the city, and those who do not have access to clean water sources.Concerned problems of Vinh Thanh DistrictVinh Thanh District is identified as one of the highly vulnerable areas to hazards in Can Tho City. Hazards, which cause a risk of harm, are both natural and human-induced factors. District officers listed and ranked the following hazards into an order of importance (most to least important) to local people: (1) cyclone, (2) abnormal floodings (high and low level), (3) environmental pollution, (4) abnormally hot air temperature, (5) erosion of canal banks, (6) lighting, (7) tropical typhoons, (8) out-break of human, animal and crop diseases, (9) abnormal rains, (10) salinity intrusion into an inland canal from estuaries in the dry season, (11) frosts and (12) abnormally cold air temperature. Most vulnerable groups are resource-poor households, children, women, and elders.Vulnerability factors include income, professional knowledge and skills, health, physical ability, social connections, infrastructure, and service accessibility. Among these groups, poor households are generally considered the most vulnerable. As aforementioned, poverty and marginal poverty rates are about 15% in Thanh An commune, 12% in Phung Quoi hamlet, and 8% in Bo Bao hamlet. Poor households are landless, who are living on wage labor and peddling or fishing. They own a small nipa house and reside temporarily along canal banks, where it isconsidered most unsafe. Poor households, who are being landless and temporarily residingon other’s land, usually move from a place to another to find the job for their daily subsistence.

O Mon, Co Do, Phong Dien, and Thoi Lai districts are predicted to have the highest vulnerability to climate change impacts among the nine districts and should therefore be prioritized for adaptive investments, such as increasing the area of green spaces, building water-storage areas, combining floodplains and wetland parks, preserving biodiversity and planning for biodiversity conservation to improve environmental resilience. In summary, the pilot calculationsdescribed here show that the indicator set used provides an intuitive view, facilitating managers to easily delineate those areas with the highest vulnerability and in greatest need of investment. The set of indicators used is also highly applicable because most of the input data are collected from the local Statistical Yearbook published annually. Therefore, this set of indicators could be scaled up for other cities/provinces in Vietnam and undergo continuous improvement.
