Sometimes objectives are too far from the actual moment, and that temporal dimension horizons can be better defined on participative and technical basis. Actually is being studied a criteria to subsidize delimitation of intermediary objectives that supports the planning process to be continuously developed on a more intensive progressive perspective. Once the planning have being elaborated on a participative foundation among municipalities, State government and society, a criteria approved by the stakeholders can help on reducing the natural conflicts when stablishing planning products.
