Abstract

This paper is based on an analysis of the land and soil use regulations in the 23 counties of the basin of the rivers Paraná and de la Plata, which make up the area of study of the project in which this is framed1, bearing in mind the specific treatment of the affected areas as well as flood prevention. In order to do this, we have taken into account the following: a) the analysis of the evolution of State regulations as regards soil occupancy in the greater Buenos Aires; b) the updated registry of regulations connected with land demarcation and use of soil validated by the Executive Power (Regulation N § and Validating Decree N §; c) the specific regulation (Regulation N § / Executive Power decree N §) by municipality / by content. The data to perform the study of regulatory soil use was obtained from the new Interactive Land Demarcation Map of the Province of Buenos Aires created by the Ministry of Government of the Province of Buenos Aires, Subsecretariat of Municipal Affairs. The analysis of current regulations in each of the 23 counties comprised in the study will allow us to define future intervention strategies, which will act as instruments in connection with land regulation for each municipality's management.
