| Abstract | Urbanization, industrialization and population growth of Phnom Penh city bring both promises
of high levels of prosperity and new problems in managing human settlements. Among the
most important concern is the urban environmental infrastructure, for example, Water Supply,
Drainage and Sewerage, the demand of which has increased. It is widely known that
sustainable development could be achieved by the local level with its own programs or projects
and planning of actions. Therefore, expectations are that unless innovative approaches for
urban environmental infrastructure management plan are put in place, the problems will
continue to occur and eventually can not sustain urban development. Planning is the keystone
of urban environmental management and it determines how to get the future goals and the
success of the programs. But there is no urban environmental management plan for the Phnom
Penh capital at the present. What are the required integrated key elements to formulate the
management plan?
The present study identifies the most important integrated elements to establish a model for
developing the urban environmental infrastructure management plan, particularly water
supply, drainage and sewerage, and defines the actors involved in the planning and
implementation process. The model reveals the strategies to deal with the bottom up planning
approach and the examples of a systematical strategic planning process including the outset
step, problem identification, through the implementation of the project.
With the lack of the urban environmental management, the aim of the study is to establish the
prototype or framework, which allows participation of local, community people and other
stakeholders, for formulating the urban environmental infrastructure management plan which
is actor-oriented. |
