Regionales Flächenmanagement im Städtedreieck am Saalebogen - Konzeption, Handhabe und Weiterentwicklung

Since formal instruments of spatial planning in Germany have turned out to be too inflexible to govern regional development, new ones are being implemented. One of them is Regional Land Management (RLM), which can be described as an application of regional management. A RLM comprises various aspects of planning, development and use of sites for industrial purposes, housing, recreation, open space et cetera. The complexity of tasks requires the cooperation between public and private actors ("public private partnership"), for instance municipalities and firms as well as different lobby groups. In most cases a Regional Development Concept contents the necessary guidelines, objectives and steps. This process has been analysed in the Municipal Network of "Saalebogen", which consists of Rudolstadt, Saalfeld and Bad Blankenburg and is situated in East Thuringia. Like elsewhere in Thuringia the "Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft Thüringen", i. e. the state development corporation, has taken considerable measures toward the revitalisation of industrial areas by acquisition, clearing, development and commercialisation. Thus, it was explored to what extent the participating municipalities undertook activities in terms of mutual coordination of industrial areas and public projects on existing sites referring to different functions within the Municipal Network. This has to take into account especially the decline of population due to the volatile economic performance of the region. The overall question is whether and how it can be managed to stimulate a development from the bottom of the region. The method of research chosen is threefold: Based on a new understanding of communicative and cooperative planning and a general concept for an RLM, the respective elements in the "Saalebogen" were defined as they can found in the urban and regional development plans and concepts. Interviews should show the motives, objectives and actions of planners, local politicians and entrepreneurs who are more or less involved in the RLM. Moreover, data on several industrial sites are evaluated in order to reflect the actual results. In the conclusion the implications of the RLM for regional planning and governance are formulated as well as improvements concerning planning system, spatial arrangement and organisation.
