In the midst of rapid urbanization of this country, there still exist areas which can be considered as remote and “inaccessible” and at times are far from being connected to the urbanization process. Despite rigorous planning and development efforts, some of these places and the people in them seems unaffected by the development processes or remain status quo. That raises the questions on the most appropriate way to approach such places and people. Does a planner, equipped with sophisticated techniques and analytical tools is welcomed as an agent of change? Or do we let the nature to take it courses and opt to do nothing as a planner? How, then, do we solve the planning issues and problems of such scenarios? What are the characteristics of sustainable planning in areas supposed to have already being sustained throughout the years? These are some of the questions posed as challenges to planners and decision makers alike.
