Determine the current need and future requirement based on the
standards or recognized planning and design criteria and other
consideration unique to the LGU:

Ex. Current population of the LGU (2008) = 58,274

Projected Population (2013) = 66,024
Area of existing municipal/city park = 20,000 sq.m
Area requirement 2008 = population x standard
= 58,274 x (500 sq.m / 1,000 popn.)
= 29,137 square meters
Future area reqt. 2013 = 66,024 x (500 sq.m / 1,000 popn.)
= 33,012 square meters
