Resumen:
This work analyzes some of the environmental consequences -included social changes, watershed and landscape management -, originated in the process of urban sprawl in the hills of the town called Tandil (located in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina). The case shows that neither local planning nor the provincial coordination, have had the expected result: the protection of hills landscape. It started to collect, select and analyze literature and previous documents, defining key concepts. Then we analyzed the role of actors and legislation (Land use plan; Protected Landscape of Sierras de Tandil), and contemporaneous and subsequent actions, and effective disclosure instances called "participatory" and territorial results. The city is home to approximately 100,000 inhabitants. Since its origins, mining (of mainly intrusive Precambrian crystalline rocks), was practiced in the area with other funcional economic activities. However, the global development of this activity provoked abruptly changes of the relief and hills? landscape with quarries. By 1987, emerging intellectual actions pushed the issue on the local agenda. By 1999, NGOs? actions, through citizens´ assemblies, succeeded to protect the hills´landscape through the approval of particular provincial legislation (not yet implemented). Tandil with highland hills, as a tourist center, has become a strong attraction for people of Buenos Aires metropolitan area, the main metrópolis of Argentina. Migration of amenity and property speculation since mid-1990, had lead to various ventures (gated communities, country clubs) in the urban fringe and mountain, that between 2003 and 2012, mutate into cabins and hotel buildings in foothills. Despite having a Land Use Plan, and even a provincial cover (Protected Landscape), actions implemented are characterized by their lack of actual participation, and, fail to fulfill both the Land Use Plan and the spirit of provincial law. The cityhall itself that not apply the legislation by providing exceptions for cabins and dormitories buildings in protected areas. There is a need to analyze public irresponsibility of the cityhall as an agent that: 1) allows increasing pressure or high water holding basin (where neither easy nor inexpensive access building supply wells), with recharge sediment contaminants where no damping or sewers; 2) allows the privatizing of the hills´landscape, provoking a pressure on the value of the real estate market in areas that still do not have essential services and facilities.
