The Aragonese regional map

comments and reflections on its design

Abstract

To develop a policy of creation of district (comarcas) in Aragon was necessary to develop a district map. . A new political-administrative division of the territory reached by successive approximations. The process followed is defined in three stages In the first, Aragón Government prepared a draft bill (1995), following the second additional provision of the Law of creation of district (1993), which was scrutinized by the County Councils, Municipal government and Associations municipalities. In the second stage, with the contributions made, the Government of Aragón approved a Bill which was sent to Parliament of Aragón (1996). Finally, the third time, the Parliament adopted the Law 8 / 1996 of 2 December district delimitation of Aragón. Following this process, in 2001/2003, an adjustment was made precise. The result has been heterogeneous map of political boundaries. In this work we address how it has developed the Aragon district map to reflect on its outcome.
