Lineamientos teórico - metodológicos para la formulación de planes binacionales de ordenamiento territorial en zonas de integración fronteriza: Caso ZIF Ecuador – Perú

Abstract

The present investigation has as main objective to propose a series of theoretical - methodological guidelines for the formulation of Binational Cross-border Plans of territorial ordering in the ZIF Ecuador - Peru, with the purpose of contributing to the strengthening of the state capacities of both countries to the effective and efficient implementation of the different policies, plans, programs and projects that promote their frontier national governments, through the inclusion of sub-national border local governments.

To meet this objective a respective theoretical framework on borders and land development is made; analyzes the existing problems in the ZIF Ecuador - Peru and the difficulties States have in implementing the various policies, plans, programs and bilateral projects with an impact on such territories, establishing the relevance, importance, benefits and different areas of contribution to the formulation Binational Cross-border Plans of territorial ordering in the ZIF Ecuador - Peru. An analysis of the conditions for the formulation of such plans is done likewise, being two different States, and finally a series of guidelines proposed theoretical - methodological in which considers both the binational approach, derived from the relationship between the national governments, such as cross-border approach derived from relations between neighboring local governments and their respective territorial dynamics that characterize their common border situation. Using for that a qualitative analytical methodology based on official data collection and other experiences of cross-border territorial planning, in Latin America, and Europe.
