DEVELOPMENT NEEDS

Considering the generally rural characteristic of the area, the total land area will be used to determine the adequacy and future requirements of roads. Thus, with a total land area of 4,660 hectares, and a total road kilometrage of 23.02 kms., the present road land ratio is 0.49 kms. per 100 hectares of land. With the standard of 1 kilometer for every 100 hectares, 23.58 kms. of additional road is needed to meet the standard requirement. Future additional needs should be based on feasible studies. Moreover, the improvement/upgrading/maintenance of the condition of existing roads and ridges must be given top priority.
