Industrial Use

The identification
of Mati as one of
the Provincial
Agri-Industrial
Centers (PAIC)
of Davao Oriental
is the take-off
point in the town’s
pursuit for agri-
industrialization
vis-à-vis
the provision of
infra supports
facilities.In view
of the above
consideration,
a 489-hectare land
at Brgy. Dahican
is the
proposedlocation
for the
establishment of
PAIC. Previously,
the land was fully
planted to coconut
trees but the
detericrating
fertility of the soil,
lacked of
maintenance and
aged coconut trees
led to thedecline
of the
productivity of
the area. The El
Niño Phenomenon
that hit the
country in 1991-
1992 had
aggravated the
situation when
almost 40% of the
coconut trees were
damaged.The site
is adjacent to the
Mati Domestic
Airport. It is 5
kms. Away from
Mati
Poblacionwere
labor support
facilities are
found. It is the
location for light,
medium and heavy
industriesdelineate
d by buffer
zones/greenbelts
to segregate
incompatibility
with adjacent
land use.
Tourism Zone
This included the
Tourism Complex,
the southern part
of Dahican along
the shoreline
of Guan-guang,
Manguihay,
Butuasan, areas
along the shoreline
of Don Enrique
Lopez, mayo
andTagabakid and
the Baso Hill
along winding
road of Badas.

PlanResidential
Zone
The establishment
of the DOSCST
and Provincial
Agri-Industrial
Center (PAIC) in
Matiare
envisioned to
accelerate
the growth of the
town’s economy.
These will serve
as attractants
for the people to
flock to Mati,
hence an increase
demand for
residential land.
Tourism Zone
The identification
of Davao Oriental
as
alternate tourism
destination of
Region XI is a
big boost towards
the development
of various touris
m potentials of th
e locality which i
ncludeDahican
Beach and many
more.The Dahican
area which
includes the white
sand beach facing
the Pacific Oceans
and theshorelines
along the Pujada
Bay is very
appropriate for
the establishments
of Beach
Resorts,Training
Centers, Cottages
and many more.
The big wave of
the Pacific
Oceans makes it
a perfect weekend
rendezvous for
family and
friends.Areas
along the
shorelines of
Dahican are being
identified in the
Pujada Bay

indigenous
communities.Rest
oration zone
refers to areas of
degraded habitat
where the long
term goal will be
to restorenatural
habitat with its
associated
biodiversity and to
rezone the area to
a more strict
