Abstract

The municipal development plan and the territorial planning plan, are instruments for the planning of the development of the municipality, where policies, programs and strategies that make possible the physical development of the territory and the correct use of the land, in terms of equity, should be directed and sustainability. The land planning plan is a complement to the development plan as it allows for a deeper decision-making process in the face of the restrictions and potentials that are adopted on the land, whether urban or rural, in accordance with economic activities and growth population, without forgetting the characteristics and physical demands of the territory. However, according to the zoning of land use conflicts in Colombia, carried out by IGAC and CORPOICA (2002), 37.7% (approximately 43 million ha) of the land in the national territory, have an adequate or appropriate use at its vocation, while for the remaining 62.3%, there are underutilized and overused areas (29.6% and 32.7% respectively). This shows that the instruments for the management of the territory, are falling short when it comes to fulfilling its main objective which is focused, according to law 388 of 19971 to generate guidelines, policies, strategies, goals, programs, actions and standards adopted to guide and manage the physical development of the territory and land use. The present work is focused on showing the importance of good practices when managing the territory, taking into account all the resources available by the entities in charge of showing the potential of each region and in this way raise awareness of the impact of a change in use, modify a protection area or other powerful policies for the sector being managed. Integrating the variables of the appropriate use of the land, the validation of its aptitude and the planning of the territorial ordering in this matter, thus obtaining a technical, social and territorial management analysis, to prove disparity or concordance with these three mentioned axes, a GIS “geographic information systems that refers to a set of tools that allow operations to be carried out efficiently, relating different components: users, hardware, software, processes” (IDECA, 2016) such as ArcGIS desktop, which allows spatial analysis and of infrastructure to prepare maps and make geographic information available to users.
