This database is an outcome of the project entitled "Impact Analysis of Metropolitan Policies for Development and Environment Conservation in the Philippines" conducted in 1997-2002, under funding support by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. The project was called "JSPS Manila Project" for short. The objective of the project was to create a system link prediction model to identify consequences of Metro Manila's urban policies on general urban development, urban sustainability, and environmental concerns. To accomplish this objective, the project team was composed of the following 9 groups. G1: Socioeconomic structure G2: Living environment G3: Transportation environment G4: Water environment G5: Energy and industry G6: Atmosphere/thermal environment G7: Green space environment G8: Natural disaster G9: Functional interchange between urban and rural area This database contains not only data and documents collected during the project period, but also results of analyses and simulations done by these groups. Another type of the project outcome is the following book published by the University of the Philippines Press, which will be useful for users of this database. Tatsuo Ohmachi and Emerlinda R. Roman ed. (2002) Metro Manila: In Search of a Sustainable Future, UP Press.
