undeveloped areas/lands
This word is commonly used in the Dominican Republic. I don't know if it applies here, hence the low level of confidence.
In Santo Domingo, I would often hear it used in reference to areas in the slow process of urbanization, with (hard) dirt roads and shared water sources (con mucha gente construyendo sus casitas "en block" poco a poco).
I hope this helps!
