Abstract

The Vega de Granada is possibly the most extensively planned area in Andalusia. In this region, the Junta de Andalucía has the competences for the promotion and development of the foreseen actions in the subregional planning. One of the usual procedures consists of the application of Special Territorial Plans, a proper tool for the definition and implementation of supramunicipal systems of open spaces, as well as for the protection and enhancement of areas with heritage, agrarian, environmental or landscape values. The Special Territorial Plan of the Vega of Granada (PEOVG), in Initial Approval, acknowledges the great productive, patrimonial, environmental, landscape and non-residential value that this traditional rural area has, all of them identified within the Territorial Plan of the Urban Agglomeration of Granada (POTAUG, 1999). For this purpose, the sustainable development of the Vega de Granada in the context of the adjacent metropolitan area is considered as a fundamental aim, and the proposals are oriented to the protection and stimulation of the agrarian land, the protection and enhancement of its heritage, the improvement of the environmental and landscape quality, the sustainability of its transport mobility and the configuration of a model of public use. In this regard, this paper aims to assess the suitability of these proposals, the expected outcomes and the possible impacts of them. The analysis will be done through the monitoring/evaluation techniques of territorial public policies developed.
