Abstract

For the paper, the recent passing of Law 4/1990 on the 31 st. May as to the Administering of the Basque Country allows for the setting up within that Autonomic Region of development plans that, for the first time, will make it possible to set in motion a system of overall administration for the area, this through the creation of an all-embracing framework within which all its sectorial policies and town planning will find their terms of proper reference. The model that the Guidelines for the Administering of the Basque Autonomic Regional Community (DOT) lay down are seen as firmly taking up a "qualifying" option as to the need for a rethinking of things urban, as to environmental issues and as to a selective re-ordering of the area's overall make up, all this within an adequately flexible framework capable of giving apt and speedy answers to the important changes that are to be expected. To this end, the Act splits the area up as to function, these divisions being then subject to Parcial Area Planning to be carried through according to DOT guide-lines at all levels. Thus administrative, geographic and legal criteria are to be drawn into a central thinking that will fulfill the röle of district leadership and each part of the Community that enjoys a certain geographic entity will thus enjoy a series of services and activities proper to both its needs and identity
