Reference mapping published by IGAC from municipal planning instruments. The catalog lists publication on 28 November 2025 and inputs dated 20 February 2025; these are not adoption dates or polygon update dates. Copy retrieved on 6 October 2026. The layer does not identify the applicable act for each feature: query the instrument register separately under Tools. Codes retain official domain labels without standardizing categories or filling nulls. Empty compatible, conditional or prohibited-use fields do not mean a use is allowed. All received polygons, rings and vertices are retained; counts do not represent parcels or exclusive areas. Queries load the visible area in pages. Does not certify authorized uses, building capacity, permits, planning validity or current hazards. In Popayán, activity areas include the historic district and education services; rural zoning distinguishes recovery, mineral extraction, forestry uses and river protection. These are categories in the published instrument, not current authorizations or inventories of operating sites. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses are unreported.
