What is the program focus?

Modified on Mon, 18 Dec, 2023 at 2:03 AM

The Diploma in Land Use Planning caters to the needs of local government planners, including those at the municipal, city, and provincial levels that now have to take on more extensive planning responsibilities as these are devolved to lower levels of government under the provisions of the Local Government Code of 1991. DLUP graduates are qualified to take the Environmental Planning Licensure Examination.


Program Goals


The program aims to:

  • provide a significant increase in access to planning education for personnel of local government units and relevant government line agencies;
  • provide a strategy for decentralized planning education by offering opprtunities for capability-building in planning outside of Metro Manila; and
  • strengthen the capacity of training institutions at the regional level to support a distance education program in land use planning.
