Suggested sub-themes are: value chain mapping of tourism goods, tourism contribution to GDP, tourism and sustainable development, tourism development, social carrying capacity, event tourism, environmental-economic impact of tourism sector, cultural heritage and tourism, among others.
Cluster II (Disaster Response, Risk Reduction, and Management)Research and development initiatives in Cluster II areas are directed towards Disaster Response, Risk Reduction and Management. Subthemes that included are: risk management policies, urban resilience, emergency response, disaster risk mitigation, determination of community's vulnerability and adaptive capacity, risk-sensitive development, ecosystem-based disaster risk reduction and adaptation, among others.
Cluster III (Rehabilitation/Restoration Strategies in Mining Sites)On the other hand, Cluster III is best recognized as center of agriculture and mining of the province, hence, rehabilitation/restoration strategies in mining sites become its central theme. the subthemes are: hydrological analysis, environmental assessment, landscape restoration, ecosystem rehabilitation, rehabilitation strategies, integrated soil and sediment research, restoration strategies, and sustainable recovery measures, among others.
Cluster IV (Small Island Ecosystem Carrying Capacity)A special consideration is accorded to areas that are included within the island municipalities, hence, the them focuses on small island ecosystem carrying capacity. The subthemes recommended are: sustainable fishery options, sustainable local development and knowledge, technology for food security, and carrying capacity assessment (ecological and social), among others.
