The pressure of rapid population growth entwined with poverty, natural and man-made calami­ ties demands additional support of infrastructure development and wide-ranging physical land use for agriculrure, settlement, industry and social services. It is a challenge on our part as an autonomous region to sustain and strengthen our potential in comprehensive land use planning and receptiveness to social needs. Relatedly, it is an integral part of our strategies to overcome constraints and carry out specific programs and projects towards sustainable environment and development in the region. The formulatiol'1 and updating of ARMM Regional Physical Framework Plan (2000-2030) is a showcase of extensive land use planning of the autonomous region responsive to the well-being of our constituents and taking into account population growth, geographical situation, available resources, political intervention and social and economic dimension. The ARMM RPFP is thoroughly designed to strengthen environmental policy and agenda on proper utilization and management of resources and purposely to maximize the region's social and eco­ nomic impact on sustainable development. In addition, the RPFP will be a useful tool for policy decision makers, researchers and planners in the conduct of feasibility study, socio-economic strategy planning and identification and prioritization of programs in the region. This plan is in conformity with my commitment to the national government and donor com­ munity to implement a rational and comprehensive use of the region's resources and provide adequate and better living condition for our people. Finally, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helped in the finalization of this document.
