Study Notes

Legislation on Public Paths

  • Laws concerning public paths are primarily national and regional (specifically, for the Andalusian region).
  • National law (Ley 3/1995) holds exclusive power over basic legislation, as per Article 149.1.23 of the Spanish Constitution.
  • Andalusian regional law (Decreto 155/1998) holds exclusive jurisdiction over public paths in Andalusia.
  • Public paths are defined as traditional routes used for livestock transit (Article 1.2 in the 3/1995 law and 2.1 in 155/1998 decree).

Historical Context

  • The concept of public paths dates back to 1273 with Alfonso X's establishment of the Mesta organization, responsible for organizing livestock routes (cañadas).
  • The Mesta was dissolved in 1836.
  • Public paths served the national livestock industry using extensive grazing practices and seasonal transhumance.
  • Law 3/1995 and Decree 155/1998 establish mechanisms for creating, defining, managing, and protecting public paths, defining compatible uses.
  • Public paths in Andalusia are considered public goods, inalienable, unprescriptible, and non-seizable assets.

Purpose of the Regulation

  • The Andalusian public path regulation aims to establish systems for creating, designating, managing, and safeguarding public paths, stipulating permitted compatible uses.
  • It outlines rights and responsibilities related to public paths.

Definition

  • public paths are defined as routes historically used for livestock transit.
  • They can also be used for compatible/complementary uses.

Types of Public Paths

  • Public paths are categorized into "cañadas" (up to 75m), "cordeles" (up to 37.5m), and "veredas" (up to 20m).
  • These terms are also often used traditionally.

Plan for Recovery and Development of Andalusian Public Paths

  • This plan designates areas for revival or restoration.
  • Considerations include continued usage patterns; tourist/recreational values; and environmental significance.
  • Resources (at least 200 million Euros) were allocated for improved functionality.

Classification and Delimitation

  • These are crucial administrative powers held by the relevant Andalusian authorities.
  • Classification establishes path boundaries, names, and characteristics.
  • Delimitation marks the exact boundaries of the public path.

Occupations and Uses

  • Authorities can approve temporary public path occupations if there is interest from the public or, under specific conditions, if it's in the individual's interest.
  • These uses must not impede livestock transit.
  • Utilization of resources (like fruits or products left behind by livestock) is permitted as long as it doesn't disrupt the primary use and related complementary uses.

Compatible and Complementary Uses

  • Compatible uses are activities that align with existing livestock use. These potentially include some agricultural and environmental practices.
  • Complementary uses are additional activities that, while not primary, can be executed in harmony with livestock-related and other permissible practices.
