The paper begins by explaining that the term Rural Core[ Núcleo Rural] answers to a town and country planning
definition of ground non-apt for building usage and first appeared in the legal-cum-planning world’s
technical vocabulary in ACT 5/1998 of the Basque Autonomous Parliament as a referent to the Regulations
Governing Land Use and Planning to then re-appear in the recent ACT 2/2006 of 30th June as to Ground
Usage and Planning. This recasting has however a long history within the Basque Planning world and as
the Explanatory Prologue to the Act lays bear, it was hoped here to endow it with that sufficient entity
which it had hitherto lacked. The author then sets about analysing what it has come to imply in Planning
practice now that its legal standing has become established when it comes down to marking out and developing
such Rural Cores (NR). It is felt however that there is an evident lack of coherence here be it as to previous
legislative regulating of Ground non-apt for Building Usage or as to the Basque Autonomous Region’s
own territorial analyses as expressed in its procedural instruments for territorial governance. The paper then
considers the economic and environmental cost inherent in these NR and does so by focussing the study in
on Uraibai Biosphere Natural Park to conclude from hence that this planning definition of the area is opening
the gates to urban sprawl in the zone.
