What Is Industrial Park and District ?

Industrial parks are areas zoned for industrial development that are usually located near transportation infrastructure like roads, rails, airports and ports. They provide integrated utilities and facilities to support industrial activity while minimizing environmental impact through practices like eco-industrial parks. Key features of industrial parks include independent electric grids, water supply stations, fire protection, security services, and industrial buildings. They promote economic development but can also negatively impact the environment through air, water and soil pollution if not properly managed.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL PARK AND DISTRICT ?

An industrial park (also known


as industrial estate, trading estate)
is an area zoned and planned for
the purpose of industrial
development.

Industrial parks are usually located on the edges of, or


outside, the main residential area of a city, and are normally
provided with good transportation access, including roads and
rails.
ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARK

An eco-industrial park (EIP) is an industrial park in which


businesses cooperate with each other and with the local
community in an attempt to reduce waste and pollution,
efficiently share resources (such as information, materials,
water, energy, infrastructure, and natural resources).
TRANSPORTATION

Industrial parks are usually located close to transport


facilities, especially where more than one transport modes
coincide, including highways, railroads, airports and ports.

Many small communities have established industrial


parks with only access to a nearby highway, and with only
the basic utilities and roadways.
Industrial parks have a complete and integrated infrastructures.

FIRE PROTECTION STATION


Since there are many chemical and mechanical processes
happening at any given moment in a factory or plant, the risk of accidental
fires will always be there. That being said, adequate fire protection is
required by the law so that large-scale accidents can be avoided.
SECURITY SERVICE STATION

Burglaries, sabotage, and vandalism are not out of the realm of


possibility, which is why a dedicated and responsive security system is
also a staple feature for an industrial park.

INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
Buildings directly used in manufacturing or technically productive enterprises.
Industrial buildings are not generally or typically accessible to other than workers.
Industrial buildings include buildings used directly in the production of power, the
manufacture of products, the mining of raw materials, the storage of textiles, petroleum
products, wood, paper products, chemicals, plastics, and metals.
ELECTRIC GRID

The first feature that industrial parks boast is independent electric


grids that supply factories and plants the energy that they need to operate
properly. As heavy industries are somewhat energy-intensive, consistent
and high levels of electricity are needed at all times.

WATER SUPPLY STATIONS

Aside from electricity, water also gets the same kind of treatment in an industrial
park. Water is another resource that many businesses need huge amounts of to carry out
their daily operations. Since wastewater is a common by-product of many industrial
processes, water treatment is also needed to keep things sustainable.
EXAMPLE:

FIRST PHILIPPINE INDUSTRIAL PARK, INC.


Barangay Santa Anastacia , Batangas, Pan - Philippine Hwy, Santo
Tomas, 4234 Batangas

From the picture above, the location of the First Philippine Industrial
Park is separated from the residential areas and surrounded by main
roads at the same time.
First Philippine Industrial Park, established in 1996, comprises 349 hectares located in
the cities of Tanauan and Santo Tomas in the province of Batangas, Philippines. It currently
has 67 occupants, including 37 Japanese firms and approximately 30,000 employees on site.
Exports in 2011 amounted to $1.41 billion, according to the company’s latest data. The
project is a joint venture between Sumitomo Corporation and First Philippine Holdings
Corporation. On February 23, 2013, Sumitomo Corporation, has begun expansion work at the
First Philippine Industrial Park in Batangas, to add approximately 100 hectares of property for
leasing and allow for additional factories to be constructed upon completion.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL ZONES

The Industrial Revolution impacted the environment. The world saw a major
increase in population, which, along with an increase in living standards, led to the
depletion of natural resources. The use of chemicals and fuel in factories resulted in
increased air and water pollution and an increased use of fossil fuels.
Industrial pollution can also impact air quality, and it can enter the soil, causing
widespread environmental problems. Industrial activities are a major source of air,
water and land pollution, leading to illness and loss of life all over the world.
AIR POLLUTION

Industrial pollution contributes a startling amount of air pollution to


the atmosphere. Examples of common industrial emissions deemed
hazardous to the environment including asbestos, dioxin, methylene
chloride, and metals like lead and chromium. The EPA indicates that
factories, oil refineries, coal-fired power plants, steel mills, dry cleaners
and chromium electroplating facilities are among the worst air polluters.
Also, trucks used in shipping goods and services to these industries
discharge toxic benzene and toluene from fuel oil.
WATER POLLUTION

Lakes and rivers near factories typically have higher levels of


pollution than bodies of water in rural areas, according to S.K. Agarwa, the
author of “Water Pollution.” Industrial toxins enter the water supply in
gaseous, liquid or solid form. For example, pollution from smokestacks
falls as acid rain on land and water. Highly toxic waste from incinerators is
deposited in landfills where it can leach into ground water. Inadequately
treated waste water from paper mills can release pollutants into rivers.
Worse still, about 70 percent of industrial waste generated in developing
countries is dumped untreated into waterways, as reported by National
Geographic.
SOIL CONTAMINATION

Industrial waste often contains heavy metals that pollute urban soil
and cropland. Soil becomes contaminated when toxic industrial emissions
fall as precipitation. Other sources include improperly lined industrial
landfills, mining tailings and chemicals spilled during transport. Most heavy
metals don’t degrade like carbon-based materials, making soil
decontamination difficult and very costly.
HABITAT DESTRUCTION

Reduced species biodiversity can occur when the ecosystem is


disrupted by urban expansion and industrialization. Modern day examples
include displacement of birds and animals by logging operations, gravel
pits, strip mines, industrial explosions, road construction, oil spills and
proliferating factories. Global warming can render an area inhospitable to
certain species of flora or fauna. The risk of species extinction from global
warming may be even greater than the risk of extinction from
deforestation, according to a study reported in Conservation Biology.
BENEFITS OF TURNING INDUSTRIAL ZONES INTO INDUSTRIAL PARKS

• Reduced production costs and better environmental performance for


participating companies
• Improved local and international competitiveness and profitability of companies
• Better access to new, modern and state of the art technologies
• Access to financial instruments and funding mechanism
• Increased efficiency and performance of Industrial Zones
• Reduced negative environmental impact of Industrial zones, better image in the
public
• Improved workers health and safety as well as quality of life for communities
• Improved environmental situation in the neighborhood
• Better legal compliance
THE AGRICULTURAL EFFECTS OF INDUSTRIAL PARKS

• Land conversion is a method where land is modified from agricultural to urban


use.
• The loss of agricultural land will lead to agricultural underemployment and
waste of investment in irrigation infrastructure.
• Agricultural land shrinkage due to industrialization and modernization has a
negative impact on the livelihood strategies of people, who depend on
agricultural land or other natural resources.
IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRIAL PARKS AND DISTRICTS

• Promote Entrepreneurship: Industrial parks are an ideal catalyst for industrialization and economic
development. They help put into place an infrastructure that fosters and attracts entrepreneurs of all scale
and size.
• Best Fit Plots: Industrial Parks offer plots of varying sizes that best fit the requirement of businesses and
industries.
• Regional Development: Industrial parks promote economic activity in adjacent neighborhood areas by
offering better employment opportunities
• Shared Facilities: Industrial parks offer all urban amenities that businesses desire and benefit from these
data like Telecommunications, postal facilities, filling stations, banks etc. These facilities are available for all
enterprises to use and benefit from.
• Boosts Productivity: In developing economies, businesses are not capable enough to ensure all business
verticals are of global standard. Hence, the role of Industrial Parks become more important in looking for an
increase in productivity through the introduction of efficient logistics and supply chain solutions.
