This research presupposes that the rural-urban continuum is a means to integrate rural and urban territories in the local master plan (LMP) and, consequentially, in territorial planning. For this purpose, the research aims to systematize some parameters of the rural-urban continuum that converge in rural zoning and installments, added to the LMP regulations. The research underpins the need to develop tools applicable to territorial politics (Travassos; Portes, 2018). For the municipality, the Estatuto da Cidade (Law no. 10.257/2001) orders to act in the entire territorial across rural and urban spaces, with the LMP defining the organizational norm. Therefore, the planning procedures would focus on each territory, deal with the particularities and, subsequently, the integrating. However, the LMP tendentious to transform rural areas into urban areas, under pressure from landholding regularization and the urban spralw dynamics of the real estate sector and irregular and clandestine subdivisions. In this context, rural-urban integration requires a prior interpretation of the concept of territory to be included in the LMP, starting from the interpretation of territorialities and TDR processes on territorial praxis (Saquet, 2017). In territorialities, spatial heterogeneity (Andrade, 2014; Lovett et al., 2006) as a tool allows the identification of quantifiable characteristics of space by specific units and continuous spatial patches. Thus, the patterns (Alexander et al., 1977; Andrade, 2014) of the spatial configuration are revealed with explicit clarity of the spatial form arrangements, whether urban or rural. The rural-urban transect (Duany; Falk, 2020) postulates a method of transition from the most rural to the most urban scale, traversing a continuum of zones with distinct ecological, housing, and agrarian characteristics. In this context, the research starts from the territorial reality of the Distrito Federal (DF) with the case study of Serrinha do Paranoá/SHTQ located in RA XIX Lago Norte. Landholding regularization is a fact in the region, given that the government claims to be urban, instrumented by the PDOT (DF’s LMP) with Áreas de Regularização de Interesse Específico (ARINE). In contrast, the community proclaims rural regularization, given the occupational reality with rural centers consolidated by farm for agricultural activities and environmental preservation. The biased scenario demarcates the ARINES over the rural centers, with legal uncertainty regarding the permanence of the smallholders in place. The research, through georeferenced mapping (QGIS software), identified that the rural is more appropriate to the environmental risks in the region. In mapping of spatial heterogeneity over the ARINES, fractions and patches on the territory were identified, revealing characteristics of rural installment. Therefore, landholding regularization is defined as rural. They also identified three spatial patterns of rural configuration: rural intensification; rural allotment (village/hamlet); and single-family rural subdivisions. Subsequently, the patterns were systematized in the three zones of the ruralurban continuum in the rural-urban transect. For the zones, the research established some parameters attributed to aspects of rural zoning and installment. Through this real construct, the research validates rural-urban territorial integration in the LMP and territorial planning, consolidating a guiding referential for the Planning of Rural-Urban Continnum in Serrinha do Paranoá/SHTQ.
