EXTERNALLY-FUNDED RESEARCHES


1. S &T Responsible Mining

Mining is one of the hottest issues in the Philippines today. The presence of several big mining companies in Caraga region ushered to the creation of the Caraga Consortium for Responsible Mining in Mindanao (CCRMM) as identified by the Committee on Science and Engineering (COMSTE) under the Philippine senate to address the need to disseminate information on responsible mining.

In response to this, Caraga State University (CSU) and the 3 other State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in Caraga Region, the Surigao State College of Technology (SSCT), Agusan del Sur State College of Agricultural Technology (ASSCAT),and Surigao del Sur State University (SDSSU) composing the Caraga Consortium for Responsible Mining (CCRM), together with the University of Southern Mindanao (USM) in Kabacan, Cotabato, Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST) in Cagayan de Oro City, and the Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Science and Technology (MSU-IIT) in Iligan City came up with a research proposal entitled, S&T Program for Responsible Mining in Mindanao. It aims to deliver science-based information and alternative technologies to promote socially-acceptable, environment-friendly, ecologically sound and economically-rewarding mining in Mindanao.
The overall output of the various components of the program will be made available to decision-makers to support socially acceptable, environment-friendly, and ecologically sound mining in Mindanao. The economic potentials of mining can liberate Mindanao from poverty, for as long as it is done responsibly along with balanced sustainability.

 2. Comprehensive Land Information Management System using GIS 

The College of Engineering and Information Technology of Caraga State University (CEIT-CSU) successfully launched their partnership project with the City Government of Butuan (CGB): Comprehensive Land Information Management System using GIS dubbed as CLAIMS-GIS. CLAIMS-GIS aims to produce a digital map showing all real property units of Butuan which will aid in the CGBs goal to integrate Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) in crafting the citys Comprehensive Land-Use Plan (CLUP). The project involves relating all real property units of Butuan specifically lots represented in polygons associated with its respective attributes using a geographical information system software (e.g. ESRI's ArcGIS) aided by an automatic data processing devise (desktop computer). Computer-generated spatial analysis (validated by visual observations) on GIS layers representing real properties within the city is just one click away using GIS software that will aid in a prompt planning and/or implementing  CGB actions during disaster events. Overlaying of RPUs to the spatial features of the city can also provide effective analysis and projections pertaining to the calamity stricken and/or vulnerable areas can be easily identified accompanied by the extent, as well as, quantified damages. Also, organized monitoring of various aspects (e.g. appropriatesness of assessment, paid/unpaid taxes, updated changes in case of property transfer, etc) relating to real properties can also be implemented upon the completion of this project. This condition will greatly aid in the CGBs priority setting of the programs, projects and activities.
