Guatemala is a country with an enormous social, economic and territorial disparities, which affect directly quality of life of its inhabitants and its development potential. Among the existing difficulties, a very significant one is the lack of culture of planning. Until a few years ago, there was a lack of territorial politics, which hindered implementation of local development processes aimed at an integral improvement of life of citizens. The aim of this paper is to present a methodology with a strategic vision for a Municipal Planning System (MPS). It should integrate various basic aspects: urban territorial planning in the municipal area and a set of social and economic proposals, designed to promote local development. A brief description is provided of the municipal situation in Guatemala, then the evaluation of the proposed scheme and of the components of the MPS is given. Finally, there is a summary of the phases and of the required methodological process for the technical development of SPM. The methodology presented is aimed at creating a guide to obtain a future territorial model, which merges integrally the socio-economic planning at a municipal scale and may channel the local authorities' action.(original abstract)
