INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING • This sectoral study seeks to respond to the ff: • efficient internal and external linkages • improved and equitable access to basic social services, facilities, and economic opportunities • stimulate the desired physical growth and development. • Entails t he assessment of the current infrastructure facilities/utilities to determine its capacity to support the existing and future needs/demands of the locality. • Decisions on infrastructure development have to consider other factors such as land use policies, costs, and the protection of ecological resources.
What are the existing utilities and facilities in the locality? • What are their conditions? How are they managed & maintained? • Are these adequate, efficient and reliable? • How can these existing utilities and facilities affect the efficiency and effectiveness of other sectors’ performance? • Do these current utilities and facilities support the development of the locality? How can it strengthen the local economy? • How can this sector meet the current and projected demands and requirements of the population?

Minimum Data Requirements • Inventory of Roads by System Classification and Type of Pavement • Inventory of Bridges by Location, Type, Capacity and Condition • Inventory of Ancillary Road Facilities • Inventory of Railways • Railway Facilities and Services • Transportation Terminals by Location and Condition • Inventory of Public Land Transportation Vehicles by Type and Service Routes • Other Modes of Transport and Facilities • Road Accidents by Location, Nature, and Frequency for the Past Five Years • Transport Related Projects, Approved/Funded for Implementation
Inventory of Roads by System Classification and Type of Pavement: Marawi City
Objectives for planning and designing streets • Provide safe, efficient flow of goods, services and people • Provide the framework for new development • Determine major pedestrian & public transport routes • Provide right of ways for utilities
Why do we need to plan? • Makes our constituents productive; increases quality of life • Limited resources: optimum use • Spatial requirements: generation + transmission
Considerations for GENERATION • Relies on available resources • Evidently interacts with Environmental Sector (source & sink) • Nuclear: no emissions vs. high risk • Solar: high initial capital outlay vs. long-term benefits • Coal: inexpensive vs. pollutive • Renewable: ecological-soundness vs. food security
TRANSMISSION • Design in the layout of transmission lines should put primacy on public safety • Data on trends of typhoon frequency, wind speeds to make power transmission utilities more durable • Consideration for the Volume of Users • Planning for current & perceived future consumption

“Islamic City of Marawi is host to two energy facilities operated by the National Power Corporation (NPC): the AGUS River Control Dam, and the Agus I Hydro Electric Power Plant. Agus I generates some 80 megawatts. Agus I is one of the 7 hydroelectric plants dotting the 36 kilometer-Agus River which drains to Iligan Bay. Lanao del Sur Electric Cooperative (LASURECO), an electric cooperative firm is providing the energy requirement of the city as well as that of the province. Of the 96 barangays of the city, 97.92% of this are effectively covered”. “The Ibaan Electric and Engineering Corporation (IEEC) provides the Municipality of Ibaan with electric service. It is a private utility operator with office and main sub-station located at Brgy. Palindan. Its power supply comes from the National Power Corporation (NPC). All the barangays are adequately served by the IEEC for their residential, commercial, industrial and street lighting uses with Nine thousand six hundred one (9601) households or 94.57% of households being served”
