Poverty Mapping
NSCB5 Maps the provinces of Bicol
region. The NSCB produced
prototype poverty maps for all the provinces of Bicol region to further
serve the needs of local planners and policy makers in our efforts to win
the war against poverty. This is part of the Poverty Mapping Study under the
Project on Re-engineering the Government Statistical Services – Phase II.
Poverty maps make possible the
integration of data from various sources such as surveys and
administrative-based data and from different disciplines such as social,
economic and environment data. Since different dimensions of well-being can
be examined and integrated, these maps serve as very useful tools to local
government units as well as local chief executives, particularly in
identifying priority areas that should benefit from anti-poverty programs
and interventions.
 Poverty maps for the provinces of:
The indicators used by NSCB in
constructing the maps were based on the Minimum Basic Needs (MBN)
Indicators which have been derived thru inter-agency collaboration. The
maps were generated using the Geographic Information System (GIS)
technology.
