Territorial management: the pending issue in territorial planning in Honduras and Central America

Abstract

 In Honduras there are important advances linked to land use planning and planning, to share a case, was the first country in Central America to have a Law on Land Use Planning (2003). However, at the national level there are 763 territorial plans at municipal level that have different approaches, of which very few have managed to have an implementation phase. So the results at the level of society and territory are not tangible. Similar cases occur in the rest of the Region. Due to the above, it is considered that there is little progress in Honduras and Central America in territorial management processes and actions. Therefore, it is necessary to generate the spaces, institutional tools and municipal technicians trained to promote the implementation of these processes, to ensure good land governance, directly affecting the quality of life of the population, as a maximum objective Of the Territorial Ordering.
