between local and national agencies. Figure 4.3 gives building blocks and planning
stages in planning process. The steps in local planning process comprise of:
1. Increasing awareness
2. Reviewing as well as managing municipal environmental health performance
3. Reviewing present municipal policies that affect environmental health
4. Making as well as reporting a local situation analysis
5. Building efficient public participation
6. Setting priorities for feasible action
7. Preparation of the local environmental health action plan
8. Getting support from other levels
The planning at national land part of nation is influenced by international laws.
The regional haze action plan adopted in ASEAN region encouraged formulation of
policies for enforcing strict control of slash-and-burn practices as well as forbidding
open burning during dry period. The policy on zero burning forbids open burning,
especially among the timber and plantation companies in the region but permits a
controlled burning to some extent as a complete ban may not be practicable among
the smallholder farmers (UNEP 2018).
Complexity of human–environment interaction is increasing with time (American
Public Health Association 1976). Social costs, lifestyle and environmental standards shall govern the principles for environmental health planning (Fig. 4.4).
The plan shall aim in the maximum reduction of illness as well as injury from all
causes and consider analysis of environmentally induced illnesses/injuries. The
planning exercise shall assess existing environmental conditions that affect the
health of the population in areas of concern. The planning shall not just aim to cater
demand for treatment-oriented services but should also look into preventive
activities and reduction of environmentally induced illnesses/injuries in the home,
recreational beside work environments. Environmental factors that intrude upon
human health shall be given consideration in the master plans.
Components to be considered in environmental health planning include but are
shall not restrict to the following:
Building blocks
• Leadership and Governance
• Service delivery
• Financing
• Workforce
• Medicines and other consumables
• Information
Planning steps
• Situation assessment
• Priority setting
• Identify strategies
• Costing
• Resource planning and budgeting
• Programming and implementaiton
• Monitoring and evaluation
