a. density
The group agreed not to look at the standard definition of density but
instead be "area-specific" depending on the site's relation to population
pressures and resource utilization. This information will be gathered from
the National Statistics Office (NSO) data as well as experts' opinion.
b. Migration
At the beginning of the discussion, it was raised that the definition of
Indigenous Peoples (Ips) be qualified- a) original IPS; b) migrant IPS or
"settlers". Finally, the original or historical definition of IPS was retained.
The group then tried to map out pressure points based on the influx of
migrants in a certain area.
c. per capita income
d. poverty incidence
For per capita income and poverty incidence, the group decided to reverse
the scoring to give high priority to areas with significantly lower per capita
Income.
e. tenurial issues
Comprehensive land use plans of the province would usually indicate
tenurial issues. However there is a conflict between the land use system
and the actual land use. Some argued that the comprehensive land use is
still the basis of tenurial issues. Data providers would include the DENR,
CBFM and CADC data. In identifying the tenurial status of the area, the
number of hectares covered by each tenurial region should be identified,
including big blocks of CADC areas.
However, there is a question on using the comprehensive land use of the
province as the basis of tenurial issues and not the actual land use: the data
may not realistically capture on-the-ground information. It was agreed that
the Northern Sierra Madre Nationai Park (NSMNP) be the test case to find a
realistic picture of the matter.
2. Resource utilization issues
a. im~act of resource utilization practices
b. economic trends
3. Cultural diversity
a. persistence of customary land rights and arrangements
b. NRM practices & beliefs (sustainable IKS)
Scoring for this particular criterion was likewise reversed as high priority
should be given to areas whose customary land rights, beliefs and practices
have been influenced by outside factors
