Propuesta para la articulación de los planes de ordenación territorial de los niveles provincial, cantonal y parroquial rural

Abstract

The accomplishment of land management plans in our country is a constitutional mandate that also has to be articulated with other planning levels. In the past, this exclusive competence of decentralized autonomous governments was not fully met, since there was little or no coordination between the management plans of the different levels. This problem is because there are not clear guidelines, that is, the law does not mention what? or how? the plans must be articulated, and for that reason a mechanism was proposed that makes explicit the articulations that the Constitution mandates, and those that are the product of the discernment of the sectoral competences that have a territorial dimension, and are known as technical order. Several books, documents and cases obtained from management plans of our situation were studied and analyzed, but fundamentally were analyzed the competences of each level with respect to the territory. As a result, a design of the articulation process between the territorial planning plans at provincial, cantonal and rural parochial levels was obtained, through a mechanism that allows these articulations according to the determinations of each plan contained in its objective territorial model. Finally, it has been determined that, when two or more levels of government simultaneously exercise their sectoral competencies of territorial incidence, or when the determinations of a plan condition those of another plan, then articulation occurs there.
