abstract: Galicia, the Spanish region located at the north-western corner of the Iberian Peninsula, has experienced lately increasing development. Therefore, there has occurred a change in developing trends led by the stimulation of infrastructure, industry and tourism sectors. Recently, the south-west of Galicia, where Ria de Pontevedra is, became a competitive summer destination for national tourism, which empowered construction of housing developments as profitable source of wealth, which produced peri-urban sprawl along the coastline. Nowadays, the continuation of this rhythm of growth may threaten the nature value of the region. Massive building risks biodiversity and it reflects on autochthonous landscape. Apart from environmental impacts, there are economic reasons to preserve native Natural Heritage (NH), since it constitutes the main attractiveness for tourism. The present paper proposes a theoretical framework aimed to evaluate the degree of sustainability of Galician planning model.
