BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE ADSDPP
Section 7. Basic Components. The ADSDPP is a long term comprehensive
spatial and development plan with at least five years programming of activities
with the purpose of identifying and implementing programs and projects to
strengthen self-govemance, alleviate poverty, protect the environment and
cultural integrity, and build lasting peace and genuine development within
ancestral domains of particular ICCs or IP groups. In order to achieve
confidentiality of information, there is a need to come up with a separate
volume for the IKSP component and another volume for the Investment Plan,
Implementing Rules and Mechanisms/ Community Rules and the
AD I Community Situationers. Hence the ADSDPP document shall contain
three parts as follows:
7.1. ANCESTRAL DOMAIN AND COMMUNITY SITUATIONER
7.1.1. Ancestral Domain/Water Situationer. This component
shall include the profile and conditions of the natural base
or resources of the ancestral domain/ water such as its
environmental and ecological conditions and other land and
spatial conditions as maybe defined by the community. It
shall also include the indigenous resource systems and
management practices and customs and traditions as well
as a description of the land ownership systems that helped
shape the present conditions of the ancestral domain/
water and the IC/IP community as owners and
stakeholders. The problems and conditions shall also be
determined,
especially,
but not limited
to,
the
environmentally critical areas.
7.1.2. Community Situationer. This component shall include the
history of the tribe, their origin and time immemorial
formation of the ICCs/IPs as a distinctive social and
cultural group. It shall also present and discuss the life
ways of the ICCsjiPs and their social, cultural, political and
economic systems and status of human development,
including the prevailing conditions and situations as well as
the factors affecting the development of ICCs/IPs. The
agriculture and agro-forestry as major activities in
ancestral domains shall be described to include the
traditional or customary practices such as the traditional
systems of self-help or mutual cooperation. Potential
economic activities or opportunities may also be established
in this component.
7 .1.3. Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practices (IKSPs).
The indigenous knowledge systems and practices of IC/IP
communities on land use systems, land ownership systems,
forest and watershed management and protection, water
resource management and protection, marine resource
management, and mineral resource management and
protection basically form part of the sustainable
development and protection plan. The manner of
documenting the IKSPs shall be subject to the community
