Abstract

The special geographical characteristics of the Canary Community, with a fragile and discontinuous territory, its natural resources and environmental wealth, as well as the particularities of its model of economic development, based on the tourism and the construction, have supposed that the regulations on urban development planning and territorial arrangement enjoy in this land of a transcendental importance.The recent law of Urgent Measures as for Territorial Arrangement and Dynamization of the Tourism (Law 6/2009, of May 6), also called as new moratorium, is interesting because it contains important determinations for municipal planning and tourist activity. But in addition, polemically, the law prioritizes the promotion of the agricultural activity and the dynamism in the rural way, liberalizing the uses and constructions in rustic soil. By its importance for territory and landscape, we will center this communication in the treatment that the law realises of the rustic soil, we will know its content fundamental, as well as the main critics that have been alleged to this text by divers institutional entities.
